Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and CRP-E182D Transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: Strain engineering for industrial production requires the improvement of tolerance to multiple unfavorable conditions. Here, we report using global regulator libraries based on the CRISPR-enabled trackable genome engineering (CREATE) method to engineer tolerance against multiple inhibitors in Escherichia coli. Deep mutagenesis libraries were rationally designed, constructed, and screened to target 34,340 mutations across 23 global regulators. A total of 69 specific mutations that respectively conferred tolerance to acetate, NaCl, furfural, and high temperature were isolated, confirmed, and evaluated. Among them, 32 novel reconstructed mutations exhibited better tolerance to the corresponding inhibitors, and the most dramatic mutation CRP-E182D conferred high cross-tolerance to acetate, NaCl and isobutanol. To further investigate the effects of this mutation in the CRP on acetate tolerance, whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis was performed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Isobutanol is a promising next generation biofuel with demonstrated high yield microbial production, but the toxicity of this molecule reduces fermentation volumetric productivity and final titers. Organic solvent tolerance is a complex, multigenic phenotype that has been recalcitrant to rational engineering approaches. We apply experimental evolution followed by genome resequencing and a gene expression study to elucidate genetic bases on adaptation to exogenous isobutanol stress. RESULTS:The adaptations acquired in our evolved lineages exhibit antagonistic pleiotropy between minimal and rich medium, and appear to be specific to the effects of longer chain alcohols. By examining genotypic adaptation in multiple independent lineages, we find evidence of parallel evolution in hfq, mdh, acrAB, gatYZABCD, and rph genes. Many isobutanol tolerant lineages show reduced rpoS activity, perhaps related to mutations in hfq or acrAB. Consistent with the complex, multigenic nature of solvent tolerance, we observe adaptations in a diversity of cellular processes. Many adaptations appear to involve epistasis between different mutations, implying a rugged fitness landscape for isobutanol tolerance. We observe a trend of evolution targeting post-transcriptional regulation and high centrality nodes of biochemical networks. Collectively, the genotypic adaptations we observe suggest mechanisms of adaptation to isobutanol stress based on remodelling the cell envelope and surprisingly, stress response attenuation. CONCLUSIONS:We have discovered a set of genotypic adaptations that confer increased tolerance to exogenous isobutanol stress. Our results are immediately useful to efforts to engineer more isobutanol tolerant host strains of E. coli for isobutanol production. We suggest that rpoS and post-transcriptional regulators, such as hfq, RNA helicases, and sRNAs may be interesting mutagenesis targets for futurue global phenotype engineering. Two strains (WT strain and G3.2 mutant strain), each with two culture conditions (with and without isobutanol in medium). Three biological replicates for each strain/culture condition. Twelve samples in total.
