g-ilvI
The g-ilvI is a guide RNA that can form a complex with Cas 9 in E.coli cicc 20905. It is a specific RNA sequence (around 20 bp) that recognizes the ilvI gene and directs the Cas 9 protein there for gene knocking out.

The g-rhtA is a guide RNA that can form a complex with Cas 9 in E.coli cicc 20905. It is a specific RNA sequence (around 20 bp) that recognizes the rhtA gene and directs the Cas 9 protein there for gene knocking out.
long description【Characterization】
rhtA gene encodes a strong threonine exporter and transfers threonine out of the cell. The gene rhtA knockout resulted in the reduction of extracellular secretion of threonine so there are more amount of threonine can be kept inside the cell for the further production of a-KB. We design the pTarget plasmid that carrying specific gRNA sequence which can identity the rhtA gene, then we obtained donorDNA through two rounds of PCR. The donorDNA was used for homologous recombination with genomic DNA. We then put this pTarget plasmid and donor DNA into AIS-0 strains that has already carried pEcCas plasmid for the CRISPR-CAS 9 knockout experiment. (We referred to the experimental procedures published by Qi Li, Bingbing Sun, et al. in 2020) Through the results of colony PCR and gene sequencing, we confirmed the successful knockout of rhtA.

long description【Characterization】
ilvIH gene encodes the acetolactate synthase that can turn a-KB into 2-acetyl-2- Hydroxybutyrate. After knocking out the ilvI gene, the catabolism of a-KB can be reduced so we can accumulate more a-KB inside the cell. We design the pTarget plasmid that carrying specific gRNA sequence which can identity the ilvI gene, then we obtained donorDNA through two rounds of PCR. The donorDNA was used for homologous recombination with genomic DNA. We then put this pTarget plasmid and donor DNA into AIS-1 strains that has already carried pEcCas plasmid for the CRISPR-CAS 9 knockout experiment. (We referred to the experimental procedures published by Qi Li, Bingbing Sun, et al. in 2020) Through the results of colony PCR and gene sequencing, we confirmed the successful knockout of ilvI.
