Development of cell-free transcription-translation systems in three soil Pseudomonads

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1021/acssynbio.3c00468 · Paper page

Abstract

In vitro transcription-translation (TX-TL) can enable faster engineering of biological systems. This speed-up can be significant, especially in difficult-to-transform chassis. This work shows the successful development of TX-TL systems using three soil-derived wild-type Pseudomonads known to promote plant growth: Pseudomonas synxantha, Pseudomonas chlororaphis , and Pseudomonas aureofaciens . One, P. synxantha , was further characterized. A lysate test of P. synxantha showed a maximum protein yield of 2.5 μ M at 125 proteins per DNA template and a maximum protein synthesis rate of 20 nM/min. A set of different constitutive promoters driving mNeonGreen expression were tested in TX-TL and integrated into the genome, showing similar normalized strengths for in vivo and in vitro fluorescence. This correspondence between the TX-TL derived promoter strength and the in vivo promoter strength indicates these lysate-based cell-free systems can be used to characterize and engineer biological parts without genome integration, enabling a faster designbuild-test cycle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
