摘要: Background: The type II based CRISPR-Cas system remains restrictedly utilized in archaea, a featured domain of life that ranks parallelly with Bacteria and Eukaryotes. Methanococcus maripaludis, known for rapid growth and genetic tractability, serves as an exemplary model for studying archaeal biology and exploring CO2−based biotechnological applications. However, tools for controlled gene regulation remain deficient and CRISPR-Cas tools still need improved in this archaeon, limiting its application as an archaeal model cellular factory. Results: This study not only improved the CRISPR-Cas9 system for optimizing multiplex genome editing and CRISPR plasmid construction efficiencies but also pioneered an effective CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system for controlled gene regulation in M. maripaludis. We developed two novel strategies for balanced expression of multiple sgRNAs, facilitating efficient multiplex genome editing. We also engineered a strain expressing Cas9 genomically, which simplified the CRISPR plasmid construction and facilitated more efficient genome modifications, including markerless and scarless gene knock-in. Importantly, we established a CRISPRi system using catalytic inactive dCas9, achieving up to 100-fold repression on target gene. Here, sgRNAs targeting near and downstream regions of the transcription start site and the 5′end ORF achieved the highest repression efficacy. Furthermore, we developed an inducible CRISPRi-dCas9 system based on TetR/tetO platform. This facilitated the inducible gene repression, especially for essential genes. Conclusions: Therefore, these advancements not only expand the toolkit for genetic manipulation but also bridge methodological gaps for controlled gene regulation, especially for essential genes, in M. maripaludis. The robust toolkit developed here paves the way for applying M. maripaludis as a vital model archaeal cell factory, facilitating fundamental biological studies and applied biotechnology development of archaea.
