Design of Hybrid RNA Polymerase III Promoters for Efficient CRISPR-Cas9 Function

[Abstract]  The discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 system from Streptococcus pyogenes has allowed the development of genome engineering tools in a variety of organisms. A frequent limitation in CRISPR-Cas9 function is adequate expression levels of sgRNA. This protocol provides a strategy to construct hybrid RNA polymerase III (Pol III) promoters that facilitate high expression of sgRNA and improved CRISPR-Cas9 function. We provide selection criteria of Pol III promoters, efficient promoter construction methods, and a sample screening technique to test the efficiency of the hybrid promoters. A hybrid promoter system developed for Yarrowia lipolytica will serve as a model. [摘要]  来自化脓性链球菌的CRISPR-Cas9系统的发现使得在各种生物体中开发基因组工程工具成为可能。 CRISPR-Cas9功能的频繁限制是足够的sgRNA表达水平。 该协议提供了构建杂合RNA聚合酶III(Pol III)启动子的策略,其促进sgRNA的高表达和改善的CRISPR-Cas9功能。 我们提供Pol III启动子的选择标准,有效的启动子构建方法以及样品筛选技术来检测杂合启动子的效率。 为解脂耶氏酵母开发的杂交启动子系统将用作模型。

【背景】CRISPR(成簇定期间隔短回文重复序列)是细菌中发现的DNA序列的集合,其中含有先前曝光的病毒DNA片段(Marraffini和Sontheimer,2010)。片段被称为间隔区DNA,并且它们侧面是短的,重复的回文序列。细菌使用这些存储的间隔序列作为模板来表达RNA,以识别和攻击再次暴露的特定病毒。当与CRISPR相关(Cas)蛋白结合时,CRISPR-Cas系统可以识别和切割外源DNA或RNA,破坏病毒并保护宿主免受重复感染(Barrangou,2013)。

一种特定的CRISPR系统,来自化脓链球菌的II型CRISPR-Cas9已经被修改成用于基因组编辑的更简单的系统。利用这个系统,研究人员能够设计特定的单引导RNA(sgRNA)序列,它与具有上游原型间隔区相邻基序(PAM;'NGG')的目的基因的20bp序列互补(Jinek ...

In vivo Analysis of Cyclic di-GMP Cyclase and Phosphodiesterase Activity in Escherichia coli Using a Vc2 Riboswitch-based Assay

[Abstract]  Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates distinct aspects of bacterial physiology. It is synthesized by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and hydrolyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). To date, the activities of DGC and PDE are commonly assessed by phenotypic assays, mass spectrometry analysis of intracellular c-di-GMP concentration, or riboswitch-based fluorescent biosensors. However, some of these methods require cutting-edge equipment, which might not be available in every laboratory. Here, we report a new simple, convenient and cost-effective system to assess the function of DGCs and PDEs in E. coli. This system utilizes the high specificity of a riboswitch to c-di-GMP and its ability to regulate the expression of a downstream ... [摘要]  环状二磷酸鸟苷(c-di-GMP)是一种无处不在的第二信使,它调节细菌生理学的不同方面。 它由diguanylate环化酶(DGC)合成并被磷酸二酯酶(PDE)水解。 迄今为止,通常通过表型分析,细胞内c-di-GMP浓度的质谱分析或基于核糖开关的荧光生物传感器来评估DGC和PDE的活性。 但是,其中一些方法需要尖端设备,而这些设备可能不适用于每个实验室。 在这里,我们报告了一个新的简单,方便和具有成本效益的系统,用于评估E中DGC和PDE的功能。大肠杆菌。 该系统利用核糖开关对c-di-GMP的高特异性及其响应于c-di-GMP浓度而调节下游β-半乳糖苷酶报道基因的表达的能力。 在该协议中,我们描述了该系统的构建及其用于评估DGC和PDE酶的活性。

【背景】Cyclic-di-GMP是细菌中重要且无处不在的第二信使,其调节各种过程,例如运动到衰退转变,生物膜形成,毒力和细胞周期进展(Römling等人, ,2013)。 GG(D / ...

Drosophila Fecal Sampling

[Abstract]  Fecal sampling is a non-invasive method which raises the possibility to study the development and the changes in the microbial community throughout different time points of a fly population or throughout different treatments. This method allows precise manipulation to trigger the fly’s physiology by nutritional interventions, bacterial infections or other stressors.

As in most other animals, the intestinal microbiota is essential for a healthy fly-life. Because Drosophila only harbors a relative simple bacterial community with a small variety of round about 8 to 10 different species, it is rather easy to build up the microbial community and to investigate microbial changes after treatment.

Another positive effect using the fly’s feces is that bacteria that ...
[摘要]  粪便取样是一种非侵入性方法,提高了在飞行群体的不同时间点或整个不同处理过程中研究微生物群落的发展和变化的可能性。这种方法允许精确的操纵通过营养干预,细菌感染或其他压力源触发苍蝇的生理学。
  与大多数其他动物一样,肠道微生物群对健康的飞行生命至关重要。因为果蝇只拥有一个相对简单的细菌群落,有大约8到10个不同种类的小种,很容易建立微生物群落,并在处理后调查微生物的变化。
  使用蝇的粪便的另一个积极作用是不是肠微生物群的一部分的细菌,例如Wolbachia,可以直接从分析中排除,因为它们不会排泄。
  使用这种方法,生成的数据集可能反映了在简单飞行模型中研究微生物组织相关疾病的一个很好的范例,此外,可以以高通量方法测试药物。
