제목 Development of RNA-based caprolactam sensor for high-throughput screening and selection
초록 The Microbial strain which produces caprolactam, a monomer widely used for the synthesis of nylon-6, has been recently reported. One of the hurdles for screening high-producer is that the recombinant strain coproduce caprolactam and valerolactam which differs by only a single carbon. Therefore, it is pivotal for high-throughput screening to specifically report intracellular concentration of caprolactam. However, a highly specific caprolactam sensor has not been reported. Here, we developed an artificial riboswitch that specifically responds to the caprolactam using a coupled in vitro−in vivo selection strategy. Heterogeneous pool of RNA aptamers obtained from SELEX is inserted between ORF of reporting gene in a plasmid to proceed in vivo selection. Constructed caprolactam sensor was activated by 3.36-fold in the presence of 50 mM caprolactam and enabled caprolactam-dependent control of cell growth, which will be useful for improving bio-based manufacture and metabolic engineering.
