Cpf1-assisted efficient genomic integration of in vivo assembled DNA parts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
To test the applicability of Cpf1 from Francisella novivida in genomic integration of in vivo assembled DNA parts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An easy-to-use vector toolkit, containing a CEN6/ARS4 plasmid expressing Cpf1 from Francisella novivida (FnCpf1) and a 2 mu plasmid for crRNA or crRNA array expressing, was constructed for Cpf1-assisted genomic integration in S. cerevisiae. Our results showed that FnCpf1 allowed for targeted singleplex, doubleplex, and tripleplex genomic integration of in vivo assembled DNA parts with efficiencies of 95, 52, and 43%, respectively. CRISPR-Cpf1 system allows for efficient genomic integration of in vivo assembled DNA parts in S. cerevisiae, and thus provides an alternative CRISPR-Cas method for metabolic pathway engineering in addition to CRISPR-Cas9 system previously reported for yeast.
