CRISPRi-62

This CRISPRi fragment contains the dCas9 and sgRNA necessary for the CRISPRi system. The CRISPRi system is suitable for a variety of Streptomyces.[1] In this study, it was used to inhibit the expression of GQS52 _ 08040 gene in SCUT-3 to produce more ectoine and hydroxyectoine.

Usage and Biology

Fig.1 CRISPRi system used in the study

Due to the limited types of plasmids available for SCUT-3, we inserted the CRISPRi-62 fragment into the previously constructed plasmid by homologous recombination to achieve simultaneous stable expression of multiple target genes. Subsequently, we verified the effectiveness of the CRISPRi-62 system (Pi2 in the figure below) in the fermentation of ordinary LB and shrimp shells.
