Recombineering and I-SceI-mediated Pseudomonas putida KT2440 scarless gene deletion.
FEMS Microbiology Letters 2016 October 8
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a saprophytic, generally recognized as safe microorganism that plays important roles in the biodegradation and production of value-added chemicals. Chromosomal gene deletion of P. putida KT2440 usually involves time-consuming gene coning, conjugal transfer and counterselection. Recently, we developed a P. putida KT2440 markerless gene deletion method based on recombineering and Cre/loxP site-specific recombination. PCR-based λ Red recombineering circumvents the tedious cloning steps and is more amenable to high-throughput manipulation. Herein we report an improved scarless gene deletion strategy based on recombineering and I-SceI-mediated double-strand break repair. Sixteen drug exporter gene(s) were deleted and the minimal inhibition concentrations of the mutants to a variety of antibiotics were determined. The robustness of the procedure was also demonstrated by sequential deletion of five large genomic regions. Up to 59% recombination efficiency was achieved for 54.8 kb deletion, and the efficiency of RecA mediated double-strand break repair, which was boosted by λ Red recombinase, was nearly 100%. The strain with a 3.76% genome reduction showed an improved growth rate and transformation efficiency. The straightforward, time-saving and highly efficient scarless deletion approach has the potential to facilitate the genetic study and biotechnological and environmental applications of P. putida KT2440.
