2017 journal article

Toward a genetic tool development pipeline for host-associated bacteria

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 38, 156–164.

By: M. Waller n, J. Bober*, N. Nair* & C. Beisel n

MeSH headings : Bacteria / genetics; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Genetics, Microbial / methods; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Humans; Molecular Biology / methods; Symbiosis
TL;DR: The current challenges to rendering culturable, non-model members of microbial communities genetically tractable are discussed - including overcoming barriers to DNA delivery, achieving predictable gene expression, and applying CRISPR-based tools - and recent efforts to create generalized pipelines that simplify and expedite the tool-development process are details.

2017 journal article

Short DNA Containing chi Sites Enhances DNA Stability and Gene Expression in E-coli Cell-Free Transcription-Translation Systems

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING, 114(9), 2137–2141.

By: R. Marshall*, C. Maxwell n, S. Collins n, C. Beisel n & V. Noireaux*

author keywords: Escherichia coli; gene circuits; prototyping; RecBCD; synthetic biology; TXTL
MeSH headings : Cell-Free System / physiology; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Escherichia coli / genetics; Exodeoxyribonuclease V / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial / genetics; Genetic Engineering / methods; Protein Biosynthesis / genetics; Transcription, Genetic / genetics
TL;DR: It is shown that double-stranded DNA encoding χ sites-eight base-pair sequences preferentially bound by the RecBCD recombination machinery-stabilizes linear DNA and greatly enhances the TXTL-based expression and activity of a fluorescent reporter gene, simple regulatory cascades, and T7 bacteriophage particles.

2017 review

Deciphering, Communicating, and Engineering the CRISPR PAM

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 429(2), 177–191.

By: R. Leenay n & C. Beisel n

author keywords: Cas9; Cpf1; CRISPR-Cas systems; PFS; rPAM
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Motifs; CRISPR-Cas Systems; Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats / genetics; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Gene Library; Genetic Loci; Plasmids / genetics; Protein Engineering; RNA / genetics; RNA / metabolism; Staphylococcus epidermidis / genetics; Streptococcus thermophilus / genetics
TL;DR: The properties of the CRISPR PAM and the emerging tools for determining, visualizing, and engineering PAM recognition are discussed and a standard means of orienting the PAM is proposed to simplify how its location and sequence are communicated. (via Semantic Scholar)
