The invention belongs to the technical field of
synthetic biology and
genetic engineering, and particularly discloses an anti-leakage
Cre recombinase expression cassette and application thereof in
pichia pastoris
gene editing. The
expression cassette is composed of lox71-selection marker-sh blele-Cre coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1)-TetO manipulation sequence-lox66, wherein the Cre coding sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) is optimized by
pichia pastoris codon and is introduced into
escherichia coli rare codon, and IIS type
restriction enzyme sites such as PaqCI, BsmBI, BsaI, AarI and the like are completely eliminated; the
gene is cloned to a pPICZ skeleton and introduced into an
escherichia coli host of
chromosome integrated
tetR, Cre leakage expression can be thoroughly inhibited in a large-scale amplification stage, and recombination
toxicity and
plasmid mutation are avoided. An'upstream homologous arm-
expression cassette-downstream homologous arm 'edit box can be obtained through one-step
assembly by using Golden Gate, and construction is completed within 3 days; electrically transforming
pichia pastoris after
linearization, and integrating efficiency gt for the first time; according to the method disclosed by the invention, the content of the resistance marker is 70%, the resistance marker removal rate is 100% through
methanol-induced Cre self-deletion, and only one lox71 / 66 heterozygous site is reserved. According to the invention, the problems that the traditional Cre / loxP
system is easy to mutate in
escherichia coli and low in efficiency in
yeast are solved, and an efficient and safe universal
gene editing tool is provided for industrial
microbial metabolism engineering.
