Leaderless Bicistronic Design for Precise and Reliable Control of Gene Expression in Corynebacterium Glutamicum.


ABSTRACT: In synthetic biology, the precise control of gene expression is challenging due to the limited orthogonality of expression elements. Here, to address this issue and improve the reusability of genetic elements, we developed a bicistronic expression cassette in Corynebacterium glutamicum based on a leaderless promoter lacking a 5'UTR. The created leaderless bicistronic design (BCD) significantly improved the orthogonality of expression elements across different genes of interest. We also explored the importance of the fore-cistron and SD motif in maintaining the strength of leaderless BCDs. Additionally, we established a library containing 55,901 fore-cistrons and demonstrated that the regulatory range of gene expression in leaderless BCDs can be broader by modifying the fore-cistron sequence. This study provides a novel synthetic biology tool based on leaderless BCD for fine-tuning gene expression in C. glutamicum using fore-cistrons. Moreover, the strategy developed here can also be applied to improve the performance of other leaderless promoters in other bacteria.
