Abstract
Yeast can be used as a microbial cell factory to produce valuable chemicals. However, introducing an exogenous pathway into particular or different chromosomal locations for stable expression is still a daunting task. To address this issue, we designed a DNA cassette called a "wicket", which can be integrated into the yeast genome at designated loci to accept exogenous DNA upon excision by a nuclease. Using this system, we demonstrated that, in strains with "wickets", we could achieve near 100% efficiency for integration of the β-carotene pathway with no need for selective markers. Furthermore, it allowed independent and simultaneous integration of different genes in a pathway, resulting in a large variety of strains with variable copy numbers of each gene. This system could be a useful tool to modulate the integration of multiple copies of genes within a metabolic pathway and to optimize the yield of the target products.
