The invention discloses a construction method and application of a
kluyveromyces marxianus
mutant, and belongs to the field of
synthetic biology and
molecular biology. According to the method, single-stranded
DNA binding protein and
cytosine deaminase pmCDA1 are fused, a random base editing
system is constructed, and whole-
genome efficient C-T / G-A
mutation is realized in
kluyveromyces marxianus by taking MCM2-7 as a
verification target. The
system does not need a specific target or an
exogenous DNA template, the
mutation efficiency is high, the distribution is wide, the
mutation rate is improved by 303.1 times compared with that of a control group through
optimal combination, and the application potential of
kluyveromyces marxianus in industrial production is expanded. The method is combined with an efficient screening
system,
mutant strains with the
intracellular protein expression quantity remarkably improved are screened out, the constructed mutation system is not only suitable for
kluyveromyces marxianus cell factory transformation, but also can be popularized to
genome evolution of other yeasts or eukaryotic hosts, and a new strategy is provided for industrial
microorganism breeding and
protein engineering.
