ABSTRACT
The efficient refactoring of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for activating silent BGCs is a central challenge for the discovery of new bioactive natural products. Herein, we have developed a simple and robust CRISETR (CRISPR/Cas9 and RecET-mediated Refactoring) technique, combining clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 and RecET, for the multiplexed refactoring of natural product BGCs. By this approach, natural product BGCs can be refactored through the synergistic interaction between RecET-mediated efficient homologous recombination and the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We first performed a proof-of-concept validation of the ability of CRISETR, and CRISETR can achieve simultaneous replacement of four promoter sites and marker-free replacement of single promoter site in natural product BGCs. Subsequently, we applied CRISETR to the promoter engineering of the 74-kb daptomycin BGC containing a large number of direct repeat sequences for enhancing the heterologous production of daptomycin. We used combinatorial design to build multiple refactored daptomycin BGCs with diverse combinations of promoters different in transcriptional strengths, and the yield of daptomycin was improved 20.4-fold in heterologous host Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). In general, CRISETR exhibits enhanced tolerance to repetitive sequences within gene clusters, enabling efficient refactoring of diverse and complex BGCs, which would greatly accelerate discovery of novel bioactive metabolites present in microorganism.
