[PMID: 38385153 PMCID: PMC10876486 DOI: 10.1016/j.synbio.2024.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Aspergillus niger is a highly versatile fungal strain utilized in industrial production. The expression levels of recombinant genes in A. niger can be enhanced by increasing the copy number. Nevertheless, given the prolonged gene editing cycle of A. niger, a "one-step" strategy facilitating the simultaneous integration of recombinant genes into multiple genomic loci would provide a definitive advantage. In our previous study, a visual multigene editing system (VMS) was designed to knock out five genes, employing a tRNA-sgRNA array that includes the pigment gene albA and the target genes. Building upon this system, hybrid donor DNAs (dDNAs) were introduced to establish a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based multiplex integration toolkit. Firstly, a CRISPR-Cas9 homology-directed repair (CRISPR-HDR) system was constructed in A. niger by co-transforming the CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid (with a highly efficient sgRNA) and the dDNA, resulting in precise integration of recombinant xylanase gene xynA into the target loci (the β-glucosidase gene bgl, the amylase gene amyA, and the acid amylase gene ammA). Subsequently, the length of homology arms in the dDNA was optimized to achieve 100% editing efficiency at each of the three gene loci. To achieve efficient multiplex integration in A. niger, the CRISPR plasmid pLM2 carrying a sgRNA-tRNA array was employed for concurrent double-strand breaks at multiple loci (bgl, amyA, ammA, and albA). Hybrid dDNAs were then employed for repair, including dDNA1-3 (containing xynA expression cassettes without selection markers) and dDNAalbA (for albA knockout). Among the obtained white colonies (RLM2'), 23.5% exhibited concurrent replacement of the bgl, amyA, and ammA genes with xynA (three copies). Notably, the xynA activity obtained by simultaneous insertion into three loci was 48.6% higher compared to that obtained by insertion into only the bgl locus. Furthermore, this multiple integration toolkit successfully enhanced the expression of endogenous pectinase pelA and Candida antarctica lipase CALB. Hence, the combined application of VMS and the CRISPR-HDR system enabled the simultaneous application of multiple selection markers, facilitating the rapid generation in the A. niger cell factories.

Abstract
Genome editing is a crucial technology for obtaining desired phenotypes in a variety of species, ranging from microbes to plants, animals, and humans. With the advent of CRISPR-Cas technology, it has become possible to edit the intended sequence by modifying the target recognition sequence in guide RNA (gRNA). By expressing multiple gRNAs simultaneously, it is possible to edit multiple targets at the same time, allowing for the simultaneous introduction of various functions into the cell. This can significantly reduce the time and cost of obtaining engineered microbial strains for specific traits. In this review, we investigate the resolution of multiplex genome editing and its application in engineering microorganisms, including bacteria and yeast. Furthermore, we examine how recent advancements in artificial intelligence technology could assist in microbial genome editing and engineering. Based on these insights, we present our perspectives on the future evolution and potential impact of multiplex genome editing technologies in the agriculture and food industry.

Abstract
β-Carotene is an orange fat-soluble compound, which has been widely used in fields such as food, medicine and cosmetics owing to its anticancer, antioxidant and cardiovascular disease prevention properties. Currently, natural β-carotene is mainly extracted from plants and algae, which cannot meet the growing market demand, while chemical synthesis of β-carotene cannot satisfy the pursuit for natural products of consumers. The β-carotene production through microbial fermentation has become a promising alternative owing to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. With the rapid development of synthetic biology and in-depth study on the synthesis pathway of β-carotene, microbial fermentation has shown promising applications in the β-carotene synthesis. Accordingly, this review aims to summarize the research progress and strategies of natural carotenoid producing strain and metabolic engineering strategies in the heterologous synthesis of β-carotene by engineered microorganisms. Moreover, it also summarizes the adoption of inexpensive carbon sources to synthesize β-carotene as well as proposes new strategies that can further improve the β-carotene production.

CRISPR-COPIES: an in silico platform for discovery of neutral integration sites for CRISPR/Cas-facilitated gene integration. Nucleic Acids Res 2024; 52:e30.

Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas system has emerged as a powerful tool for genome editing in metabolic engineering and human gene therapy. However, locating the optimal site on the chromosome to integrate heterologous genes using the CRISPR/Cas system remains an open question. Selecting a suitable site for gene integration involves considering multiple complex criteria, including factors related to CRISPR/Cas-mediated integration, genetic stability, and gene expression. Consequently, identifying such sites on specific or different chromosomal locations typically requires extensive characterization efforts. To address these challenges, we have developed CRISPR-COPIES, a COmputational Pipeline for the Identification of CRISPR/Cas-facilitated intEgration Sites. This tool leverages ScaNN, a state-of-the-art model on the embedding-based nearest neighbor search for fast and accurate off-target search, and can identify genome-wide intergenic sites for most bacterial and fungal genomes within minutes. As a proof of concept, we utilized CRISPR-COPIES to characterize neutral integration sites in three diverse species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cupriavidus necator, and HEK293T cells. In addition, we developed a user-friendly web interface for CRISPR-COPIES (https://biofoundry.web.illinois.edu/copies/). We anticipate that CRISPR-COPIES will serve as a valuable tool for targeted DNA integration and aid in the characterization of synthetic biology toolkits, enable rapid strain construction to produce valuable biochemicals, and support human gene and cell therapy applications.

Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0174023. [PMID: 38193674 PMCID: PMC10880622 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01740-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) is one of the most popular cell factories for expressing exogenous proteins and producing useful chemicals. The alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1) is the most commonly used strong promoter in P. pastoris and has the characteristic of biphasic expression. However, the inducer for PAOX1, methanol, has toxicity and poses risks in industrial settings. In the present study, analyzing transcriptomic data of cells collected at different stages of growth found that the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) gene ranked 4960th in relative expression among 5032 genes during the early logarithmic growth phase but rose to the 10th and 1st during the middle and late logarithmic growth phases, respectively, displaying a strict biphasic expression characteristic. The unique transcriptional regulatory profile of the FDH gene prompted us to investigate the properties of its promoter (PFDH800). Under single-copy conditions, when a green fluorescent protein variant was used as the expression target, the PFDH800 achieved 119% and 69% of the activity of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter and PAOX1, respectively. After increasing the copy number of the expression cassette in the strain to approximately four copies, the expression level of GFPuv driven by PFDH800 increased to approximately 2.5 times that of the strain containing GFPuv driven by a single copy of PAOX1. Our PFDH800-based expression system exhibited precise biphasic expression, ease of construction, minimal impact on normal cellular metabolism, and high strength. Therefore, it has the potential to serve as a new expression system to replace the PAOX1 promoter.IMPORTANCEThe alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1) expression system has the characteristics of biphasic expression and high expression levels, making it the most widely used promoter in the yeast Pichia pastoris. However, PAOX1 requires methanol induction, which can be toxic and poses a fire hazard in large quantities. Our research has found that the activity of PFDH800 is closely related to the growth state of cells and can achieve biphasic expression without the need for an inducer. Compared to other reported non-methanol-induced biphasic expression systems, the system based on the PFDH800 offers several advantages, including high expression levels, simple construction, minimal impact on cellular metabolism, no need for an inducer, and the ability to fine-tune expression.

Abstract
Pichia pastoris is known for its excellent protein expression ability. As an industrial methyl nutritional yeast, it can effectively utilize methanol as the sole carbon source, serving as a potential platform for C1 biotransformation. Unfortunately, the lack of synthetic biology tools in P. pastoris limits its broad applications, particularly when multigene pathways should be manipulated. Here, the CRISPR/Cas9 system is established to efficiently integrate multiple heterologous genes to construct P. pastoris cell factories. In this protocol, with the 2,3-butanediol (BDO) biosynthetic pathway as a representative example, the procedures to construct P. pastoris cell factories are detailed using the established CRISPR-based multiplex genome integration toolkit, including donor plasmid construction, competent cell preparation and transformation, and transformant verification. The application of the CRISPR toolkit is demonstrated by the construction of engineered P. pastoris for converting methanol to BDO. This lays the foundation for the construction of P. pastoris cell factories harboring multi-gene biosynthetic pathways for the production of high-value compounds.

Abstract
Flavor is an essential element of food quality. Flavor can be improved by adding flavoring substances or via microbial fermentation to impart aroma. Aroma-producing yeasts are a group of microorganisms that can produce aroma compounds, providing a strong aroma to foods and thus playing a great role in the modern fermentation industry. The physiological characteristics of aroma-producing yeast, including alcohol tolerance, acid tolerance, and salt tolerance, are introduced in this article, beginning with their origins and biological properties. The main mechanism of aroma-producing yeast is then analyzed based on its physiological roles in the fermentation process. Functional enzymes such as proteases, lipases, and glycosidase are released by yeast during the fermentation process. Sugars, fats, and proteins in the environment can be degraded by these enzymes via pathways such as glycolysis, methoxylation, the Ehrlich pathway, and esterification, resulting in the production of various aromatic esters (such as ethyl acetate and ethyl caproate), alcohols (such as phenethyl alcohol), and terpenes (such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and squalene). Furthermore, yeast cells can serve as cell synthesis factories, wherein specific synthesis pathways can be introduced into cells using synthetic biology techniques to achieve high-throughput production. In addition, the applications of aroma yeast in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries are summarized, and the future development trends of aroma yeasts are discussed to provide a theoretical basis for their application in the food fermentation industry.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a workhorse of industrial biotechnology owing to the organism's prominence in alcohol fermentation and the suite of sophisticated genetic tools available to manipulate its metabolism. However, S. cerevisiae is not suited to overproduce many bulk bioproducts, as toxicity constrains production at high titers. Here, we employ a high-throughput assay to screen 108 publicly accessible yeast strains for tolerance to 20 g L-1 adipic acid (AA), a nylon precursor. We identify 15 tolerant yeasts and select Pichia occidentalis for production of cis,cis-muconic acid (CCM), the precursor to AA. By developing a genome editing toolkit for P. occidentalis, we demonstrate fed-batch production of CCM with a maximum titer (38.8 g L-1), yield (0.134 g g-1 glucose) and productivity (0.511 g L-1 h-1) that surpasses all metrics achieved using S. cerevisiae. This work brings us closer to the industrial bioproduction of AA and underscores the importance of host selection in bioprocessing.

Abstract
Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) encompass a diverse family of over 3000 plant natural products with a wide range of medical applications. Further utilizations of these compounds, however, are hampered due to low levels of abundance in their natural sources, causing difficult isolation and complex multi-steps in uneconomical chemical syntheses. Metabolic engineering of MIA biosynthesis in heterologous hosts is attractive, particularly for increasing the yield of natural products of interest and expanding their chemical diversity. Here, we review recent advances and strategies which have been adopted to engineer microbial and plant systems for the purpose of generating MIAs and discuss the current issues and future developments of manufacturing MIAs by synthetic biology approaches.

Abstract
β-Elemene, an active ingredient found in medicinal plants like turmeric and zedoary, is a sesquiterpene compound with antitumor activity against various cancers. However, its current mode of production through plant extraction suffers from low efficiency and limited natural resources. Recently, there has been an increased interest in establishing microbial cell factories to produce germacrene A, which can be converted to β-elemene by a one-step reaction in vitro. In this study, we constructed an engineered Pichia pastoris cell factory for producing germacrene A. We rerouted the fluxes towards germacrene A biosynthesis through the optimization of the linker sequences between germacrene A synthase (GAS) and farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (ERG20), overexpression of important pathway genes (i.e., IDI1, tHMG1, and ACS), and multi-copy integration of related expression cassettes. In combination with medium optimization and bioprocess engineering, the final titer of germacrene A in a 1 L fermenter reached 1.9 g/L through fed-batch fermentation. This represents the first report on the production of germacrene A in P. pastoris and demonstrates its advantage in producing terpenoids and other value-added natural products.

Abstract
Xanthophyll is an oxidated version of carotenoid. It presents significant value to the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its specific antioxidant activity and variety of colors. Chemical processing and conventional extraction from natural organisms are still the main sources of xanthophyll. However, the current industrial production model can no longer meet the demand for human health care, reducing petrochemical energy consumption and green sustainable development. With the swift development of genetic metabolic engineering, xanthophyll synthesis by the metabolic engineering of model microorganisms shows great application potential. At present, compared to carotenes such as lycopene and β-carotene, xanthophyll has a relatively low production in engineering microorganisms due to its stronger inherent antioxidation, relatively high polarity, and longer metabolic pathway. This review comprehensively summarized the progress in xanthophyll synthesis by the metabolic engineering of model microorganisms, described strategies to improve xanthophyll production in detail, and proposed the current challenges and future efforts needed to build commercialized xanthophyll-producing microorganisms.

Abstract
Triacetic acid lactone (TAL) is a promising renewable platform polyketide with broad biotechnological applications. In this study, we constructed an engineered Pichia pastoris strain for the production of TAL. We first introduced a heterologous TAL biosynthetic pathway by integrating the 2-pyrone synthase encoding gene from Gerbera hybrida (Gh2PS). We then removed the rate-limiting step of TAL synthesis by introducing the posttranslational regulation-free acetyl-CoA carboxylase mutant encoding gene from S. cerevisiae (ScACC1*) and increasing the copy number of Gh2PS. Finally, to enhance intracellular acetyl-CoA supply, we focused on the introduction of the phosphoketolase/phosphotransacetylase pathway (PK pathway). To direct more carbon flux towards the PK pathway for acetyl-CoA generation, we combined it with a heterologous xylose utilization pathway or endogenous methanol utilization pathway. The combination of the PK pathway with the xylose utilization pathway resulted in the production of 825.6 mg/L TAL in minimal medium with xylose as the sole carbon source, with a TAL yield of 0.041 g/g xylose. This is the first report on TAL biosynthesis in P. pastoris and its direct synthesis from methanol. The present study suggests potential applications in improving the intracellular pool of acetyl-CoA and provides a basis for the construction of efficient cell factories for the production of acetyl-CoA derived compounds.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae has great potential and competitive advantages to be developed as an excellent expression system, owing to its powerful protein secretion ability, complex post-translational modification, and safety characteristics. However, the low efficiency of genetic modification and gene function analysis is an urgent problem to be solved in A. oryzae and other filamentous fungal systems. Therefore, establishing efficient genetic transformation and multiplexed genome editing tools is significant for developing A. oryzae expression systems, and revealing its intrinsic mechanisms. In this study, the high-efficiency transformation of A. oryzae was achieved by optimizing the preparation conditions of protoplasts, and the random editing efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in A. oryzae for single and double genes reached 37.6% and 19.8%, respectively. With the aid of the selection marker, such as color or resistance, the editing efficiency of single and double genes can reach 100%. Based on the developed CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing method, the heterologous lipase gene (TLL) achieves precise integration at different genetic loci in one step. The efficient and accurate acquisition of positive transformants indicated that the morphological gene yA could be used as a helpful selection marker for genome editing in A. oryzae. In conclusion, the developed system improves the efficiency of transformation and multiplexed genome editing for A. oryzae. It provides a practical method for developing the A. oryzae high-efficiency expression system for heterologous proteins.

Biocatalytic gateway to convert glycerol into 3-hydroxypropionic acid in waste-based biorefineries: Fundamentals, limitations, and potential research strategies. Biotechnol Adv 2023; 62:108075.

Abstract
Microbial conversion of bioenergy-derived waste glycerol into value-added chemicals has emerged as an important bioprocessing technology due to its eco-friendliness, feasible technoeconomics, and potential to provide sustainability in biodiesel and bioethanol production. Glycerol is an abundant liquid waste from bioenergy plants with a projected volume of 6 million tons by 2025, accounting for about 10% of biodiesel and 2.5% of bioethanol yields. 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a major product of glycerol bioconversion, which is the third largest biobased platform compound with expected market size and value of 3.6 million tons/year and USD 10 billion/year, respectively. Despite these biorefinery values, 3-HP biosynthesis from glycerol is still at an immature stage of commercial exploitation. The main challenges behind this immaturity are the toxic effects of 3-HPA on cells, the distribution of carbon flux to undesirable pathways, low tolerance of cells to glycerol and 3-HP, co-factor dependence of enzymes, low enzyme activity and stability, and the problems of substrate inhibition and specificity of enzymes. To address these challenges, it is necessary to understand the fundamentals of glycerol bioconversion and 3-HP production in terms of metabolic pathways, related enzymes, cell factories, midstream process configurations, and downstream 3-HP recovery, as discussed in this review critically and comprehensively. It is equally important to know the current challenges and limitations in 3-HP production, which are discussed in detail along with recent research efforts and remaining gaps. Finally, possible research strategies are outlined considering the recent technological advances in microbial biosynthesis, aiming to attract further research efforts to achieve a sustainable and industrially exploitable 3-HP production technology. By discussing the use of advanced tools and strategies to overcome the existing challenges in 3-HP biosynthesis, this review will attract researchers from many other similar biosynthesis technologies and provide a common gateway for their further development.

Abstract
Pichia pastoris (syn. Komagataella spp.) has attracted extensive attention as an efficient platform for recombinant protein (RP) production. For obtaining a higher protein titer, many researchers have put lots of effort into different areas and made some progress. Here, we summarized the most recent advances of the last 5 years to get a better understanding of its future direction of development. The appearance of innovative genetic tools and methodologies like the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system eases the manipulation of gene expression systems and greatly improves the efficiency of exploring gene functions. The integration of novel pathways in microorganisms has raised more ideas of metabolic engineering for enhancing RP production. In addition, some new opportunities for the manufacture of proteins have been created by the application of novel mathematical models coupled with high-throughput screening to have a better overview of bottlenecks in the biosynthetic process.

Abstract
Global energy-related emissions, in particular carbon dioxide, are rapidly increasing. Without immediate and strong reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 °C and thus mitigating climate change is beyond reach. In addition to the expansion of renewable energies and the increase in energy efficiency, the so-called Carbon Capture and Utilization technologies represent an innovative approach for closing the carbon cycle and establishing a circular economy. One option is to combine CO2 capture with microbial C1 fermentation. C1-molecules, such as methanol or formate are considered as attractive alternative feedstock for biotechnological processes due to their sustainable production using only CO2, water and renewable energy. Native methylotrophic microorganisms can utilize these feedstock for the production of value-added compounds. Currently, constraints exist regarding the understanding of methylotrophic metabolism and the available genetic engineering tools are limited. For this reason, the development of synthetic methylotrophic cell factories based on the integration of natural or artificial methanol assimilation pathways in biotechnologically relevant microorganisms is receiving special attention. Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica are capable of producing important products from sugar-based feedstock and the switch to produce these in the future from methanol is important in order to realize a CO2-based economy that is independent from land use. Here, we review historical biotechnological applications, the metabolism and the characteristics of methylotrophic yeasts. Various studies demonstrated the production of a broad set of promising products from fine chemicals to bulk chemicals by applying methylotrophic yeasts. Regarding synthetic methylotrophy, the deep understanding of the methylotrophic metabolism serves as the basis for microbial strain engineering and paves the way towards a CO2-based circular bioeconomy. We highlight design aspects of synthetic methylotrophy and discuss the resulting chances and challenges using non-conventional yeasts as host organisms. We conclude that the road towards synthetic methylotrophic yeasts can only be achieved through a combination of methods (e.g., metabolic engineering and adaptive laboratory evolution). Furthermore, we presume that the installation of metabolic regeneration cycles such as supporting carbon re-entry towards the pentose phosphate pathway from C1-metabolism is a pivotal target for synthetic methylotrophy.

Abstract
Natural methylotrophs are attractive methanol utilization hosts, but lack flexible expression tools. In this study, we developed yeast transcriptional device libraries for precise synthesis of value-added chemicals from methanol. We synthesized transcriptional devices by fusing bacterial DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) with yeast transactivation domains, and linking bacterial binding sequences (BSs) with the yeast core promoter. Three DBP–BS pairs showed good activity when working with transactivation domains and the core promoter of PAOX1 in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris. Fine-tuning of the tandem BSs, spacers and differentiated input promoters further enabled a constitutive transcriptional device library (cTRDL) composed of 126 transcriptional devices with an expression strength of 16–520% and an inducible TRDL (iTRDL) composed of 162 methanol-inducible transcriptional devices with an expression strength of 30–500%, compared with PAOX1. Selected devices from iTRDL were adapted to the dihydromonacolin L biosynthetic pathway by orthogonal experimental design, reaching 5.5-fold the production from the PAOX1-driven pathway. The full factorial design of the selected devices from the cTRDL was adapted to the downstream pathway of dihydromonacolin L to monacolin J. Monacolin J production from methanol reached 3.0-fold the production from the PAOX1-driven pathway. Our engineered toolsets ensured multilevel pathway control of chemical synthesis in methylotrophic yeasts.

Abstract
Microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, are crucial players in the production of enzymatic cocktails for biomass hydrolysis or the bioconversion of plant biomass into products with industrial relevance. The biotechnology industry can exploit lignocellulosic biomass for the production of high-value chemicals. The generation of biotechnological products from lignocellulosic feedstock presents several bottlenecks, including low efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis, high cost of enzymes, and limitations on microbe metabolic performance. Genetic engineering offers a route for developing improved microbial strains for biotechnological applications in high-value product biosynthesis. Sugarcane bagasse, for example, is an agro-industrial waste that is abundantly produced in sugar and first-generation processing plants. Here, we review the potential conversion of its feedstock into relevant industrial products via microbial production and discuss the advances that have been made in improving strains for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Santalene, a major component of the sandalwood essential oil, is a typical representative of sesquiterpenes and has important applications in medicine, food, flavors, and other fields. Due to the limited supply of natural sandalwood resources, there is a growing interest in engineering microbial cell factories for the mass production of santalene. In the present study, Komagataella phaffii (also known as Pichia pastoris) was established as a cell factory for high-level production of α-santalene for the first time. The metabolic fluxes were rewired toward α-santalene biosynthesis through the optimization of promoters to drive the expression of the α-santalene synthase (SAS) gene, overexpression of the key mevalonate pathway genes (i.e., tHMG1, IDI1, and ERG20), and multi-copy integration of the SAS expression cassette. In combination with medium optimization and bioprocess engineering, the optimal strain (STE-9) was able to produce α-santalene with a titer as high as 829.8 ± 70.6 mg/L, 4.4 ± 0.3 g/L, and 21.5 ± 1.6 g/L in a shake flask, batch fermenter, and fed-batch fermenter, respectively. These represented the highest production of α-santalene ever reported, highlighting the advantages of K. phaffii cell factories for the production of terpenoids and other natural products.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in establishing the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as microbial cell factories for producing fuels, chemicals, and natural products, particularly with methanol as the feedstock. Although CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) based genome editing technology has been established for the integration of multigene biosynthetic pathways, long (500-1000 bp) homology arms are generally required, probably due to low homologous recombination (HR) efficiency in P. pastoris. To achieve efficient genome integration of heterologous genes with short homology arms, we aimed to enhance HR efficiency by introducing the recombination machinery from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. First, we overexpressed HR related genes, including RAD52, RAD59, MRE11, and SAE2, and evaluated their effects on genome integration efficiency. Then, we constructed HR efficiency enhanced P. pastoris, which enabled single-, two-, and three-loci integration of heterologous gene expression cassettes with ∼40 bp homology arms with efficiencies as high as 100%, ∼98%, and ∼81%, respectively. Finally, we demonstrated the construction of β-carotene producing strain and the optimization of betaxanthin producing strain in a single step. The HR efficiency enhanced P. pastoris strains can be used for the construction of robust cell factories, and our machinery engineering strategy can be employed for the modification of other nonconventional yeasts.
