Abstract Microbes are increasingly employed as cell factories to produce biomolecules. This often involves the expression of complex heterologous biosynthesis pathways in host strains. Achieving maximal product yields and avoiding build-up (toxic) intermediates requires balanced every pathway gene. However, despite progress metabolic modeling, optimization gene still heavily relies on trial-and-error. Here, we report an approach for vivo, multiplexed G ene E xpression M odification b y L oxPsym-Cr e R ecombination (GEMbLeR). GEMbLeR exploits orthogonal LoxPsym sites independently shuffle promoter terminator modules at distinct genomic loci. facilitates creation large strain libraries, which ranges over 120-fold each harbors a unique profile. When applied biosynthetic astaxanthin, industrially relevant antioxidant, single round improved flux doubled production titers. Together, this shows that allows rapid efficient pathways, offering possibilities enhancing performance microbial factories.

Abstract Base editors (BEs) are widely used as revolutionary genome manipulation tools for cell evolution. To screen the targeted individuals, it is often necessary to expand editing window ensure highly diverse variant library. However, current BEs suffer from a limited of 5–6 bases, corresponding only 2–3 amino acids. Here, by engineering CRISPR‒Cas12b, study develops dCas12b‐based CRISPRi system, which can efficiently repress gene expression blocking initiation and elongation transcription. Further, based on dCas12b, new‐generation with an expanded established, covering entire protospacer or more.

We present a strategy to control dynamically the loading and release of molecular ligands from synthetic nucleic acid receptors using in vitro transcription. demonstrate this by engineering three model DNA-based receptors: triplex-forming DNA complex, an ATP-binding aptamer, hairpin strand, whose ability bind their specific can be cotranscriptionally regulated (activated or inhibited) through RNA molecules produced rationally designed genes. The kinetics our sensors genetically generated inputs captured differential equation models, corroborating predictability approach used. This shows that highly programmable controlled with instructions provided dynamic transcriptional systems, illustrating promise context coupling nanotechnology biological signaling.

Abstract Biosynthesis is the application of enzymes in microbial cell factories and has emerged as a promising alternative to chemical synthesis. However, natural with limited catalytic performance often need be engineered meet specific needs through time‐consuming trial‐and‐error process. This study presents quantum mechanics (QM)‐incorporated design–build–test–learn (DBTL) framework rationally design phosphatase BT4131, an enzyme ambiguous substrate spectrum involved N ‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) biosynthesis. First, mutant M1 (L129Q) designed using force field‐based methods, resulting 1.4‐fold increase preference ( k cat / K m ) toward GlcNAc‐6‐phosphate (GlcNAc6P). QM calculations indicate that shift caused by 13.59 kcal mol −1 reduction activation energy. Furthermore, iterative computer‐aided conducted stabilize transition state. As result, M4 (I49Q/L129Q/G172L) 9.5‐fold cat‐GlcNAc6P m‐GlcNAc6P 59% decrease cat‐Glc6P m‐Glc6P highly desirable compared wild type GlcNAc‐producing chassis. The GlcNAc titer increases 217.3 g L yield 0.597 (g glucose) 50‐L bioreactor, representing highest reported level. Collectively, this DBTL provides easy yet fascinating approach rational for industrially viable biocatalysts.

Abstract Mutagenesis driving genetic diversity is vital for understanding and engineering biological systems. However, the lack of effective methods to generate in-situ mutagenesis in multiple genomic loci combinatorially limits study complex functions. Here, we design construct MultiduBE, a dCas12a-based multiplexed dual-function base editor, an all-in-one plasmid performing combinatorial mutagenesis. Two synthetic effectors, duBE-1a duBE-2b, are created by amalgamating functionalities cytosine deaminase (from hAPOBEC3A or hAID*Δ ), adenine TadA9), crRNA array processing dCas12a). Furthermore, introducing separator Sp4 minimizes interference array, thereby facilitating both Escherichia coli Bacillus subtilis. Guided corresponding arrays, MultiduBE successfully employed cell physiology reprogramming metabolic regulation. A novel mutation conferring streptomycin resistance has been identified B. subtilis incorporated into mutant strains with antibiotic resistance. Moreover, surfactin riboflavin titers improved 42% 15-fold, respectively, compared control single gene mutation. Overall, provides convenient efficient way perform

Natural products have long served as critical raw materials in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, primarily which can provide superior scaffolds or intermediates for drug discovery development. Over the last century, natural contributed to more than a third of therapeutic production. However, traditional methods producing drugs from become less efficient expensive over past few decades. The combined utilization genome mining synthetic biology based on sequencing, bioinformatics tools, big data analytics, genetic engineering, metabolic systems promises counter this trend. Here, we reviewed recent (2020–2023) examples used resolve challenges production products, such variety, poor efficiency, low yield.
