Genetic Engineering

Background:

Plasmid instability and temperature sensitivity are critical factors in bacterial genetic manipulation.
Developing tools for precise gene editing in industrially relevant bacteria like Corynebacterium glutamicum is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To engineer a temperature-sensitive shuttle vector for Corynebacterium glutamicum-Escherichia coli.
To establish an efficient markerless gene replacement system in C. glutamicum.

Main Methods:

Random chemical mutagenesis of pCGR2 plasmid using hydroxylamine.
Site-directed mutagenesis of RepA protein (G109D, E180K) to induce temperature sensitivity.
Integration of the temperature-sensitive replicon with Bacillus subtilis sacB marker for gene replacement.

Main Results:

Mutations G109D and E180K in RepA protein conferred temperature sensitivity to the plasmid, inhibiting C. glutamicum growth at 37°C.
The engineered plasmid enabled highly efficient chromosomal integration in C. glutamicum.
A markerless gene replacement system achieved 93% success rate for double-crossover recombinants.

Conclusions:

The developed temperature-sensitive plasmid is a valuable tool for gene disruption in C. glutamicum.
This study demonstrates an efficient and novel markerless gene replacement system for C. glutamicum.
The findings contribute to advancing genetic engineering strategies in industrial microbiology.
