摘要

Counterselection systems facilitate marker-free genetic modifications in microbes by enabling positive selections for both the introduction of a marker gene into the microbe and elimination of the marker from the microbe. Here we report a counterselection system for Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426, established through simultaneous disruption of the pyrF and pyrR genes. The pyrF gene, essential for pyrimidine biosynthesis and metabolization of 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA) to toxic metabolites, was disrupted by homologous recombination. The resultant MK54 strain (Δ pyrF ) was auxotrophic for uracil and resistant to 5-FOA. MK54 complemented with pyrF was prototrophic for uracil but insensitive to 5-FOA in the presence of uracil. To confer 5-FOA sensitivity, the pyrR gene encoding an attenuator to repress pyrimidine biosynthesis by sensing uracil derivatives was disrupted. The resultant MK72 strain (Δ pyrF Δ pyrR ) was auxotrophic for uracil and resistant to 5-FOA. MK72 complemented with pyrF was prototrophic for uracil and 5-FOA sensitive even in the presence of uracil. The results suggested that pyrF could serve as a counterselection marker in MK72, which was demonstrated by efficient marker-free integrations of heterologous β-galactosidase and α-amylase genes. The integrated genes were functionally expressed in G. kaustophilus and conferred new functions on the thermophile. This report describes the first establishment of a pyrF -based counterselection system in a Bacillus -related bacterium, along with the first demonstration of homologous recombination and heterologous gene expression in G. kaustophilus . Our results also suggest a new strategy for establishment of counterselection systems.
