A thermostable type I-B CRISPR-Cas system for orthogonal and multiplexed genetic engineering

Sumario: | Thermophilic cell factories have remarkably broad potential for industrial applications, but are limited by a lack of genetic manipulation tools and recalcitrance to transformation. Here, we identify a thermophilic type I-B CRISPR-Cas system from Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius and find it displays highly efficient transcriptional repression or DNA cleavage activity that can be switched by adjusting crRNA length to less than or greater than 26 bp, respectively, without ablating Cas3 nuclease. We then develop an orthogonal tool for genome editing and transcriptional repression using this type I-B system in both thermophile and mesophile hosts. Empowered by this tool, we design a strategy to screen the genome-scale targets involved in transformation efficiency and established dynamically controlled supercompetent P. thermoglucosidasius cells with high efficiency ( ~ 10(8) CFU/μg DNA) by temporal multiplexed repression. We also demonstrate the construction of thermophilic riboflavin cell factory with hitherto highest titers in high temperature fermentation by genome-scale identification and combinatorial manipulation of multiple targets. This work enables diverse high-efficiency genetic manipulation in P. thermoglucosidasius and facilitates the engineering of thermophilic cell factories. |
