Kluyveromyces Engineering Service

Turning Kluyveromyces Engineering into Masterpieces

In recent years, the rapid development of synthetic biology has had a profound impact on life science research and industrial biotechnology. Especially in the construction of microbial cell factories to biosynthesize biofuels, chemicals, and other products, it shows great application prospects. Among them, Fungal Chassis Cells have many advantages as heterologous expression hosts, such as a clear genetic background, a strong ability to secrete proteins, and moderate glycosylation.

  • Synthetic Biology Component

    CD BioGlyco builds on known metabolic networks and recombinant DNA technology to improve Kluyveromyces chassis cell performance by designing synthetic biology functional elements to precisely regulate metabolic pathways.

    • Promoter and terminator

      We increase the yield of exogenous products in Kluyveromyces chassis cells by constructing and screening for strong promoters and terminators.

    • Signal sequence

      The selection of suitable signaling sequences is an important part of the efficient synthesis of endogenous/exogenous proteins in Kluyveromyces chassis cells. We provide a stable and reliable solution for the efficient expression of heterologous proteins by developing universal and efficient secretion signal sequences.

    • Selection marker

      In the Kluyveromyces genetic manipulation system, we chose nutrient-deficient phenotypes and drug resistance as screening markers. Among them, the utilization of nitrogen-derived screening markers is an important specific screening scheme in Kluyveromyces. Such as URA3, LEU2, and TRP1 are ideal markers for screening Kluyveromyces positive transformants.

  • Gene Editing Strategies

    During metabolic engineering and synthetic biology modification, genetic modification of multiple genes is usually involved. Therefore, efficient gene editing technologies are essential tools for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology.

    • Targeted gene integration technology

      Integration of exogenous DNA fragments into the genome of microbial chassis cells requires the aid of its double-strand break (DSB) repair mechanism. These include both homologous recombination and non-homologous end-joining repair mechanisms.

      • Homologous reorganization

        Homologous recombination integration of exogenous genes mainly relies on the RAD52 gene cluster, including the genes RAD50, RAD51, RAD52, and XRS2, which can achieve precise targeted integration of exogenous genes in the chassis cell genome.

      • Non-homologous end joining

        We improve the efficiency of Kluyveromyces heterologous gene targeting by knocking down the KU80 gene that mediates the non-homologous end joining of heterologous genes.

Publication Data

Technology: CRISPR-Cas9 technology

Journal: mBio

IF: 6.4

Published: 2018

Results: In this research, the authors created a new synthetic biology platform centered on the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. The authors used CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing to show wild isolates of Kluyveromyces marxianus. The authors then engineered the Kluyveromyces marxianus strain to improve lipid production by combining three complex traits with exogenous DNA into a single host.
