The invention belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering and
synthetic biology, and particularly relates to a discontinuous paired homologous arm mediated Red / ET
homologous recombination method and application thereof. According to the method, a discontinuous paired homologous arm mediated
homologous recombination engineering technology is utilized, and the method is essentially different from traditional Red / ET type
recombinase mediated continuous homologous arm
homologous recombination. Experiments prove that the method can be applied to modular
gene cluster transformation of non-
ribosome polypeptide synthetase (NRPS), the
transformation efficiency of the NRPS is remarkably improved, the transformation success rate of natural products synthesized by the NRPS is further greatly improved, and a key
technical support is provided for fully releasing the application potential of the active natural products. Therefore, the method is not only an innovation and an effective supplement of the existing Red / ET class editing method, but also an ideal expansion of the current
genetic engineering technology system, and has good practicability and wide application value.
