Summary

To increase the yield of β-carotene in yeast cells, we constructed a new composite part BBa_K5419000 (pX-2-PaCrtE) with crtE (BBa_I742151) gene fragment. This composited part was used together with other composite parts, BBa_K5419005 (pXII-5-BtCrtI), and BBa_K5419009 (pXI-2-XdCrtYB), for the construction of yeast strains with high β-carotene production.

Construction Design

We constructed the plasmid by placing the gene under the regulation of a strong constitutive GAP promoter and a CYC terminator, respectively. Integration sequence was added upstream and downstream of the expression cassette to integrate the target gene into the genome of S. cerevisiae using the CRISPR/Cas9 system (Figure 1).

Experimental Approach

Construction of integration plasmids

Firstly, we obtained the target gene expression frames (GAP promotor-gene-CYC terminator) by PCR amplification, and agarose gel electrophoresis results showed that we succeeded in obtaining these fragments. Next, we double-digested the target fragment and the vector (containing the S. cerevisiae X-2 integration site genes) and obtained the plasmid by enzymatic ligation. Finally, we transformed the enzyme-ligation product into E. coli DH5α competent cells, and the colony PCR and sequencing results showed that we successfully constructed the plasmid (Figure 2).
