    Abstract CRISPR-Cas9 has led to great advances in gene editing for a broad spectrum of applications. To further the utility of Cas9 there have been efforts to achieve temporal control over its nuclease activity. While different approaches have focused on regulation of CRISPR interference or editing in mammalian cells, none of the reported methods enable control of the nuclease activity in bacteria. Here, we develop RNA linkers to combine theophylline- and 3-methylxanthine (3MX)-binding aptamers with the sgRNA, enabling small molecule-dependent editing in Escherichia coli. These activatable guide RNAs enable temporal and post-transcriptional control of in vivo gene editing. Further, they reduce the death of host cells caused by cuts in the genome, a major limitation of CRISPR-mediated bacterial recombineering.

    Abstract Riboswitches are non-protein coding RNA elements typically found in the 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR) of mRNAs that utilize metabolite binding to control expression of their own transcript. The RNA-ligand interaction causes conformational changes in the RNA that direct the cotranscriptional folding of a downstream secondary structural switch that interfaces with the expression machinery. This review describes the structural themes common to the different RNA-metabolite complexes studied to date and conclusions that can be made regarding how these RNAs efficiently couple metabolite binding to gene regulation. Emphasis is placed on the temporal aspects of riboswitch regulation that are central to the function of these RNAs and the need to augment the wealth of data on metabolite receptor domains with further studies on the full regulatory element, particularly in the context of transcription.

    Abstract Our limited ability to predict genotype-phenotype relationships has called for strategies that allow testing of thousands of hypotheses in parallel. Deep scanning mutagenesis has been successfully implemented to map genotype-phenotype relationships at a single-protein scale, allowing scientists to elucidate properties that are difficult to predict. However, most phenotypes are dictated by several proteins that are interconnected through complex and robust regulatory and metabolic networks. These sophisticated networks hinder our understanding of the phenotype of interest and limit our capabilities to rewire cellular functions. Here, we leveraged CRISPR-EnAbled Trackable genome Engineering to attempt a parallel and high-resolution interrogation of complex networks, deep scanning multiple proteins associated with lysine metabolism in

    Abstract A prevalent means of regulating gene expression in bacteria is by riboswitches found within mRNA leader sequences. Like protein repressors, these RNA elements must bind an effector molecule with high specificity against a background of other cellular metabolites of similar chemical structure to elicit the appropriate regulatory response. Current crystal structures of the lysine riboswitch do not provide a complete understanding of selectivity as recognition is substantially mediated through main-chain atoms of the amino acid. Using a directed set of lysine analogs and other amino acids, we have determined the relative contributions of the polar functional groups to binding affinity and the regulatory response. Our results reveal that the lysine riboswitch has >1000-fold specificity for lysine over other amino acids. The aptamer is highly sensitive to the precise placement of the ε-amino group and relatively tolerant of alterations to the main-chain functional groups in order to achieve this specificity. At low nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) concentrations, we observe good agreement between the half-maximal regulatory activity (T(50)) and the affinity of the receptor for lysine (K(d)), as well as many of its analogs. However, above 400 μM [NTP], the concentration of lysine required to elicit transcription termination rises, moving into the riboswitch into a kinetic control regime. These data demonstrate that, under physiologically relevant conditions, riboswitches can integrate both effector and NTP concentrations to generate a regulatory response appropriate for global metabolic state of the cell.

    Abstract Sequence to activity mapping technologies are rapidly developing, enabling the generation and isolation of mutations conferring novel phenotypes. Here we used the CRISPR enabled trackable genome engineering (CREATE) technology to investigate the inhibition of the essential ispC gene in its native genomic context in Escherichia coli. We created a full saturation library of 33 sites proximal to the ligand binding pocket and challenged this library with the antimalarial drug fosmidomycin, which targets the ispC gene product, DXR. This selection is especially challenging since it is relatively weak in E. coli, with multiple naturally occurring pathways for resistance. We identified several previously unreported mutations that confer fosmidomycin resistance, in highly conserved sites that also exist in pathogens including the malaria-inducing Plasmodium falciparum. This approach may have implications for the isolation of resistance-conferring mutations and may affect the design of future generations of fosmidomycin-based drugs.

    Abstract Synthetic biology requires strategies for the targeted, efficient, and combinatorial engineering of biological sub-systems at the molecular level. Here, we report the use of the iterative CRISPR EnAbled Trackable genome Engineering (iCREATE) method for the rapid construction of combinatorially modified genomes. We coupled this genome engineering strategy with high-throughput phenotypic screening and selections to recursively engineer multiple traits in Escherichia coli for improved production of the platform chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3HP). Specifically, we engineered i) central carbon metabolism, ii) 3HP synthesis, and (iii) 3HP tolerance through design, construction and testing of ~ 162,000 mutations across 115 genes spanning global regulators, transcription factors, and enzymes involved in 3HP synthesis and tolerance. The iCREATE process required ~ 1 month to perform 13 rounds of combinatorial genome modifications with targeted gene knockouts, expression modification by ribosomal binding site (RBS) engineering, and genome-level site-saturation mutagenesis. Specific mutants conferring increased 3HP titer, yield, and productivity were identified and then combined to produce 3HP at a yield and concentration ~ 60-fold higher than the wild-type strain.

    Abstract Strain engineering for industrial production requires a targeted improvement of multiple complex traits, which range from pathway flux to tolerance to mixed sugar utilization. Here, we report the use of an iterative CRISPR EnAbled Trackable genome Engineering (iCREATE) method to engineer rapid glucose and xylose co-consumption and tolerance to hydrolysate inhibitors in E. coli. Deep mutagenesis libraries were rationally designed, constructed, and screened to target ~40,000 mutations across 30 genes. These libraries included global and high-level regulators that regulate global gene expression, transcription factors that play important roles in genome-level transcription, enzymes that function in the sugar transport system, NAD(P)H metabolism, and the aldehyde reduction system. Specific mutants that conferred increased growth in mixed sugars and hydrolysate tolerance conditions were isolated, confirmed, and evaluated for changes in genome-wide expression levels. We tested the strain with positive combinatorial mutations for 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3HP) production under high furfural and high acetate hydrolysate fermentation, which demonstrated a 7- and 8-fold increase in 3HP productivity relative to the parent strain, respectively.

    Abstract Multiplex navigation of global regulatory networks (MINR) is an approach for combinatorially reprogramming gene expression to manipulate complex phenotypes. We designed, constructed, and mapped MINR libraries containing 43,020 specific mutations in 25 regulatory genes expected to perturb the yeast regulatory network. We selected growth competition experiments for library mutants conferring increased ethanol and/or glucose tolerance. We identified specific mutants that not only possessed improved ethanol and/or glucose tolerance but also produced ethanol at concentrations up to 2-fold higher than those produced by the wild-type strain. We further determined that mutations increasing ethanol tolerance were transferable to a diploid industrial yeast strain. The facile construction and mapping of 43,020 designer regulatory mutations provide a roadmap for how to access and engineer complex phenotypes in future synthetic biology and broader efforts.
