A modular Golden Gate toolkit for Yarrowia lipolytica synthetic biology.

ABSTRACT: The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is an established host for the bio-based production of valuable compounds and an organism for which many genetic tools have been developed. However, to properly engineer Y. lipolytica and take full advantage of its potential, we need efficient, versatile, standardized and modular cloning tools. Here, we present a new modular Golden Gate toolkit for the one-step assembly of three transcription units that includes a selective marker and sequences for genome integration. Perfectly suited to a combinatorial approach, it contains nine different validated promoters, including inducible promoters, which allows expression to be fine-tuned. Moreover, this toolbox incorporates six different markers (three auxotrophic markers, two antibiotic-resistance markers
