INTEGRATE system

The INTEGRATE system stands for the insertion of transposable elements by guide RNA–assisted targeting system. Designed by Vo et al. (2020), this system includes a crRNA which guides the TniQ-Cascade and tnsA-tnsB-tnsC operon to insert a donor DNA into a site in an organism's genome. A single promoter drives the expression of the entire system, and can be switched by users with restriction enzymes. The 32bp crRNA is seamlessly flanked by two repeats and users should use BsaI restriction enzymes to change the crRNA. An online tool is provided by the publisher for users to generate suitable crRNA for use in the INTEGRATE system, please refer to the code availability of the article published by Vo et al. (2020). The TniQ-Cascade complex consists of the proteins TniQ, Cas8, Cas7 and Cas6, which together is guided by the crRNA to search the cell for matching DNA sites and to bind the DNA. After the TniQ-Cascade binds to the DNA and forms an R-loop, TniQ recruits the protein TnsC. Meanwhile, TnsA and TnsB binds and brings together the left and rights ends of the donor DNA and then are recruited by TnsC. The donor DNA is flanked by the 111bp Right end and 145bp Left end, users should clone their genes of interest between these two flanks. The donor DNA is finally inserted around 50bp downstream of the crRNA target sequence in the genomic DNA of the organism.(Vo et al., 2020)(Klompe et al., 2019)
