Method for characterizing biological part based on dual-fluorescent reporter gene system and biological part library constructed thereon
A method for identifying and characterizing biological parts based on omics datasets and a dual-fluorescent reporter gene system, and a biological part library constructed thereon are provided, relating to a technical filed of biology. The method includes steps of: identifying the biological parts using the omics datasets; constructing a single-fluorescent reporter gene system using a shuttle vector pEZ15Asp as a skeleton for screening and determining fluorescent reporter genes; obtaining a dual-fluorescent reporter gene system skeleton; constructing recombinant plasmids, and finally transforming into competent cells for quantitative analysis of fluorescence intensities. The present invention is convenient and quick, and can screen and identify different biological parts such as RBS, UTRs, promoters, and terminators of different intensities in batch quantitatively in a relatively short time. Moreover, the present invention can quickly expand the biological part library of Z. mobilis, so as to be applied in metabolic engineering of different demands.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE FOR SMALL-MOLECULE REGULATION OF CRISPR-CAS9 ACTIVITY USING RNA APTAMERS
Provided herein are single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that comprise aptamer sequences and related compositions and methods. Also provided herein are methods of selecting inducible sgRNAs that comprise aptamer sequences.
IN SITU CELL SCREENING METHODS AND SYSTEMS
The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to methods and systems for screening phenotypes associated with genetic elements and identifying genetic elements at the single-cell level using optical barcodes. A major advantage offered by this approach is the ability to screen for any cellular phenotype that can be identified by high-resolution microscopy—including live-cell phenotypes, protein localization, or highly multiplexed expression profile and mRNA localization in conjunction with a large array of genetic elements applied as a pool in a single test volume.

RECOMBINANT EXPRESSION VECTOR APPLICABLE TO RAPID SCREENING FOR RECOMBINANT STRAIN AND APPLICATION
The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, particularly to a recombinant expression vector for rapidly screening the high expression strains and a method for rapidly screening high expression strains. In the invention, an exogenous red fluorescent protein and Aspergillus fumigatus cell surface protein localization signal are fused and expressed, and the fusion gene (DsRed-AfMP1) is integrated into the genome of Trichoderma reesei, so as to construct a strain displaying red fluorescent protein on the surface of Trichoderma reesei. By sorting Trichoderma reesei strains with red fluorescent protein on the surface by flow cytometry, genes beneficial to the improvement of cellulase activity can be quickly isolated.

A CELL SURFACE TAG EXCHANGE (CSTE) SYSTEM FOR TRACING AND MANIPULATION OF CELLS DURING RECOMBINASE MEDIATED CASSETTE EXCHANGE INTEGRATION OF NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES TO ENGINEERED RECEIVER CELLS
A combined system comprising two separate components, wherein the first component is a tag-exchange donor vector (TEDV) encoding a first cell surface tag (CST) exon flanked by a 3′ intron fragment, and a gene of interest (GOI) in the antisense orientation, and the second component is an engineered cell containing within its genome a tag-exchange receiver site (TERS), encoding a second CST exon adjoined by a full intron sequence to an exon encoding a transmembrane domain, and also encoding a reporter gene in the antisense orientation, wherein paired recombinase mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) elements are included in the TEDV and TERS such that execution of RMCE between the TEDV and TERS results in exchange of the reporter element for the GOI encoded by the TEDV, and exchange of the first CST exon for the second CST exon, such that the derivative engineered cell now expresses the first CST and GOI, in place of the second CST and the reporter gene.
