Abstract
The 2-phenylethanol biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is limited by multiple-branch metabolism in the shikimate pathway. In this research, a total of 4 × 4 (sites × genes) guide sequences from four branch genes (TYR1, ARO8, AAT2 and ALD3) were designed. A single-gene down-regulation library of 4 × 4 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains was constructed. By the assessment of gene expression level and 2-phenylethanol production, the optimal guide sequences of TYR1/AAT2/ALD3 were identified. On these bases, we first developed a high-yielding 2-phenylethanol strain carrying triple-CRISPRi system for simultaneous three branch repression. The INVScI-TYR1.AAT2.ALD3 successfully achieved the desired transcriptional repression effect and led to a 1.89-fold increase in 2-phenylethanol production compared to the starting strain. Triple-CRISPRi-mediated down-regulation of the shikimate pathway branch genes provided a convenient and efficient solution for the development of 2-phenylethanol high-yield Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineering strain.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
