- Molecular mechanisms of gene amplification are diverse, and most remain elusive. Accordingly, the application of gene amplification to construct stable gene expression systems is insufficient. We have developed a novel gene amplification method “BiTREx” based on a defined molecular mechanism that is controllable and does not require selection pressure, using budding yeast as a model. BiTREx stems from the fact that a nick introduced by Cas9 nickase causes replisome disassembly to generate a single-end double-strand break to be repaired by break-induced replication. Suppose the replisome that has just replicated the target tandem repeat encounters a nick at its flanking site. In that case, BIR should frequently initiate thorough non-allelic single-strand DNA invasion to expand the tandem repeat. Indeed, BiTREx successfully expanded a CUP1 array consisting of 16 copies of 2 kb repeat units to ~500 repeat units (~1 Mb). Furthermore, BiTREx successfully expanded not only another natural tandem gene array (ENA1 array) but artificial ones consisting of ~10-kb repeat units inserted at the CUP1 locus. Thus, BiTREx is a versatile method to enable various novel applications in synthetic genomics. We will also show a seamless system for gene integration followed by BiTREx in this symposium, and present the possibility of applying gene amplification by BiTREx to various researches.
