    Abstract Microalgae hold enormous potential to provide a safe and sustainable source of high-value compounds, acting as carbon-fixing biofactories that could help to mitigate rapidly progressing climate change. Bioengineering microalgal strains will be key to optimizing and modifying their metabolic outputs, and to render them competitive with established industrial biotechnology hosts, such as bacteria or yeast. To achieve this, precise and tuneable control over transgene expression will be essential, which would require the development and rational design of synthetic promoters as a key strategy. Among green microalgae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii represents the reference species for bioengineering and synthetic biology; however, the repertoire of functional synthetic promoters for this species, and for microalgae generally, is limited in comparison to other commercial chassis, emphasizing the need to expand the current microalgal gene expression toolbox. Here, we discuss state-of-the-art promoter analyses, and highlight areas of research required to advance synthetic promoter development in C. reinhardtii. In particular, we exemplify high-throughput studies performed in other model systems that could be applicable to microalgae, and propose novel approaches to interrogating algal promoters. We lastly outline the major limitations hindering microalgal promoter development, while providing novel suggestions and perspectives for how to overcome them.

    Abstract Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites from plants that have received attention as high value-added pharmacological substances. Recently, a robust and efficient bioprocess using recombinant microbes has emerged as a promising approach to supply flavonoids. In the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, the rate of chalcone synthesis, the first committed step, is a major bottleneck. However, chalcone synthase (CHS) engineering was difficult because of high-level conservation and the absence of effective screening tools, which are limited to overexpression or homolog-based combinatorial strategies. Furthermore, it is necessary to precisely regulate the metabolic flux for the optimum availability of malonyl-CoA, a substrate of chalcone synthesis. In this study, we engineered CHS and optimized malonyl-CoA availability to establish a platform strain for naringenin production, a key molecular scaffold for various flavonoids. First, we engineered CHS through synthetic riboswitch-based high-throughput screening of rationally designed mutant libraries. Consequently, the catalytic efficiency (k

    Abstract Microbial consortia have been considered potential platforms for bioprocessing applications. However, the complexity in process control owing to the use of multiple strains necessitates the use of an efficient population control strategy. Herein, we report circuit-guided synthetic acclimation as a strategy to improve biochemical production by a microbial consortium. We designed a consortium comprising alginate-utilizing Vibrio sp. dhg and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP)-producing Escherichia coli strains for the direct conversion of alginate to 3-HP. We introduced a genetic circuit, named "Population guider", in the E. coli strain, which degrades ampicillin only when 3-HP is produced. In the presence of ampicillin as a selection pressure, the consortium was successfully acclimated for increased 3-HP production by 4.3-fold compared to that by a simple co-culturing consortium during a 48-h fermentation. We believe this concept is a useful strategy for the development of robust consortium-based bioprocesses.

    Abstract Physical compartmentalization of metabolism using membranous organelles in eukaryotes is helpful for chemical biosynthesis to ensure the availability of substrates from competitive metabolic reactions. Bacterial hosts lack such a membranous system, which is one of the major limitations for efficient metabolic engineering. Here, we employ kinetic compartmentalization with the introduction of an unnatural enzymatic reaction by an engineered enzyme as an alternative strategy to enable substrate availability from competitive reactions through kinetic isolation of metabolic pathways. As a proof of concept, we kinetically isolate the itaconate synthetic pathway from the tricarboxylic acid cycle in Escherichia coli, which is natively separated by mitochondrial membranes in Aspergillus terreus. Specifically, 2-methylcitrate dehydratase is engineered to alternatively catalyze citrate and kinetically secure cis-aconitate for efficient production using a high-throughput screening system. Itaconate production can be significantly improved with kinetic compartmentalization and its strategy has the potential to be widely applicable.

    Abstract The C-terminal sequence of a protein is involved in processes such as efficiency of translation termination and protein degradation. However, the general relationship between features of this C-terminal sequence and levels of protein expression remains unknown. Here, we identified C-terminal amino acid biases that are ubiquitous across the bacterial taxonomy (1,582 genomes). We showed that the frequency is higher for positively charged amino acids (lysine, arginine), while hydrophobic amino acids and threonine are lower. We then studied the impact of C-terminal composition on protein levels in a library of Mycoplasma pneumoniae mutants, covering all possible combinations of the two last codons. We found that charged and polar residues, in particular lysine, led to higher expression, while hydrophobic and aromatic residues led to lower expression, with a difference in protein levels up to fourfold. We further showed that modulation of protein degradation rate could be one of the main mechanisms driving these differences. Our results demonstrate that the identity of the last amino acids has a strong influence on protein expression levels.

    Abstract Proper carbon flux distribution between cell growth and production of a target compound is important for biochemical production because improper flux reallocation inhibits cell growth, thus adversely affecting production yield. Here, using a synthetic biosensor to couple production of a specific metabolite with cell growth, we spontaneously evolve cells under the selective condition toward the acquisition of genotypes that optimally reallocate cellular resources. Using 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) production from glycerol in Escherichia coli as a model system, we determine that mutations in the conserved regions of proteins involved in global transcriptional regulation alter the expression of several genes associated with central carbon metabolism. These changes rewire central carbon flux toward the 3-HP production pathway, increasing 3-HP yield and reducing acetate accumulation by alleviating overflow metabolism. Our study provides a perspective on adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) using synthetic biosensors, thereby supporting future efforts in metabolic pathway optimization.

    Abstract Ribozymes are functional RNA molecules that can catalyze biochemical reactions. Since the discovery of the first catalytic RNA, various functional ribozymes (e.g., self-cleaving ribozymes, splicing ribozymes, RNase P, etc.) have been uncovered, and their structures and mechanisms have been identified. Ribozymes have the advantage of possessing features of "RNA" molecules; hence, they are highly applicable for manipulating various biological systems. To fully employ ribozymes in a broad range of biological applications in synthetic biology, a variety of ribozymes have been developed and engineered. Here, we summarize the main features of ribozymes and the methods used for engineering their functions. We also describe the past and recent efforts towards exploiting ribozymes for effective and novel applications in synthetic biology. Based on studies on their significance in biological applications till date, ribozymes are expected to advance technologies in artificial biological systems.

    Abstract Understanding which proteins and RNAs directly interact is crucial for revealing cellular mechanisms of gene regulation. Efficient methods allowing to detect RNA-protein interactions and dissect the underlying molecular origin for RNA-binding protein (RBP) specificity are in high demand. The recently developed recombination-Y3H screening (rec-Y3H) enabled many-by-many detection of interactions between pools of proteins and RNA fragments for the first time. Here, we test different conditions for protein-RNA interaction selection during rec-Y3H screening and provide information on the screen performance in several selection media. We further show that rec-Y3H can detect the nucleotide and amino acid sequence determinants of protein-RNA interactions by mutating residues of interacting proteins and RNAs simultaneously. We envision that systematic RNA-protein interface mutation screening will be useful to understand the molecular origin of RBP selectivity and to engineer RBPs with targeted specificities in the future.
