Abstract
Provided herein are genetically modified microorganisms comprising a nonsense mutation in a gene encoding an efflux pump or import protein, and a vector encoding a suppressor tRNA that enables translation of the efflux pump or import protein, mitigating the effect of the nonsense mutation. Also provided are methods of producing a vector or markerless DNA using the genetically modified microorganisms provided herein.
Claims59
A genetically modified microorganism comprising
- (i) a genome comprising a nonsense mutation in a gene encoding an efflux pump or import protein;
- and
- (ii) a vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a suppressor tRNA, wherein the nonsense mutation comprises a first STOP codon, and the suppressor tRNA comprises an anticodon that is complementary to the first STOP codon.
A markerless DNA comprising
- (i) an origin of replication;
- (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a suppressor tRNA;
- and
- (iii) a nucleic acid sequence with at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 19. wherein the suppressor tRNA comprises an anticodon that is complementary to a STOP codon.
