Abstract
Dynamic control of gene expression is emerging as an important strategy for controlling flux in metabolic pathways and improving bioproduction of valuable compounds. Integrating dynamic genetic control tools with CRISPR-Cas transcriptional regulation could significantly improve our ability to fine-tune the expression of multiple endogenous and heterologous genes according to the state of the cell. In this mini-review, we combine an analysis of recent literature with examples from our own work to discuss the prospects and challenges of developing dynamically regulated CRISPR-Cas transcriptional control systems for applications in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering.Keywords: Biosensors; CRISPR–Cas; Dynamic control; Metabolic engineering; Transcriptional control
