  • Publication number: 20250136959
    Abstract: A transcription regulation system based on CRISPRi and CRISPRa, and an establishment method therefor and the use thereof. The system is a new transcription regulation system which has high expression intensity, a low leakage level and is flexible and programmable. Provided is a method for achieving high-intensity and low-leakage expression of a gene by means of the transcription regulation system, wherein a high-intensity transcription level is achieved while suppressing background expression by means of synergistic regulation on downstream signaling effect devices by means of CRISPRi and CRISPRa dev ices. The new transcription regulation system can obtain, by means of loading different input promoters, a new expression system for responding to a specific signal, and has application value in the development and establishment of an efficient heterologous protein expression platform and a microbial cell factory.
