Abstract
Some major producers of useful bioactive natural products belong to the genus Streptomyces or related actinobacteria. Genetic engineering of these bacteria and the pathways that synthesize their valuable products often relies on serine integrases. To further improve the flexibility and efficiency of genome engineering via serine integrases, we explored whether multiple integrating vectors encoding orthogonally active serine integrases can be introduced simultaneously into Streptomyces recipients via conjugal transfer and integration. Pairwise combinations of Escherichia coli donors containing vectors encoding orthogonal serine integrases were used in each conjugation. Using donors containing plasmids (of various sizes) encoding either the φBT1 or the φC31 integration systems, we observed reproducible simultaneous plasmid integration into Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans at moderate frequencies after conjugation. This work demonstrated how site-specific recombination based on orthogonal serine integrases can save researchers time in genome engineering experiments in Streptomyces .Entities:

Fig. 2.Conjugation frequencies of integrating plasmids in strains. The conjugation frequencies of pHG4, pHG5, pHG6 and pHG7 (in single and multiplexed conjugation) in (a) M1152 and (b) S. lividans TK24. (c) Conjugation frequencies at different ratio of spores and cells. The ratio value showed the ratio of spores: ET12567 (pUZ8002) cells containing plasmid pHG6 : ET12567 (pUZ8002) cells containing plasmid pHG7. 1 : 1 : 1 means 108 spores:108 cells containing pHG6 : 108 cells containing pHG7. The numbers in (a) and (b) indicated the numbers of exconjugants per 108 spores.
Fig. 3.(a) The arrows show the primers designed to confirm the integration. (b) Two pairs of primers designed to confirm the integration of plasmids pHG6 and pHG7 were used to amplify fragments from exconjugants after multiplexed conjugation. Sizes of expected PCR products are 1.0 kb for pHG6 integration and 1.2 kb for pHG7 integration. Marker, NEB fast DNA ladder.
