CRISPRi-294

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-294 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-294 system (Pi4 or ProPi4 in the figure below) in the fermentation of ordinary LB, high-salt LB and shrimp shells.
