TUNEYALI Kit
(Kit # 1000000255 )

Depositing Lab:   Irina Borodina

The TUNEYALI collection is a modular toolkit for the precise regulation of transcription factor expression in Yarrowia lipolytica. This kit is comprised of 64 plasmids: 56 base plasmids targeting the promoter region of a specific transctiption factor, and 8 plasmids encoding synthetic promoters with varying expression strengths.

This kit will be sent as bacterial glycerol stocks in 96-well plate format.

Description

The TUNEYALI kit consists of 64 plasmids: 56 base plasmids and 8 plasmids encoding synthetic promoters. Each base plasmid is designed to delete the native promoter of one specific transcription factor among a set of 56, allowing targeted modulation of gene regulation. The synthetic promoters span a range of strengths and can be inserted into the base plasmids using a SapI-based Golden Gate reaction to replace the native promoter.

This modular design enables precise tuning of transcription factor expression by selecting appropriate promoter-plasmid combinations. Moreover, multiple promoters and base plasmids can be assembled simultaneously in a single one-pot SapI-based Golden Gate reaction, enabling efficient construction of a TUNEYALI transcription factor (TF) plasmid library. This high-throughput approach supports systematic studies of TF function, regulatory networks, and synthetic biology applications in Y. lipolytica.

A two part cartoon of the TUNEYALI workflow. Part A shows the SapI Golden Gate reaction where the synthetic promoter is inserted into the SapI sites flanked by upstream and downstream homologous recombination arms within a base plasmid containing AmpR and Hph markers. A native promoter, coding sequence, and terminator are shown, with the native promoter being replaced by the engineered construct via Cas9-mediated integration, resulting in tunable gene expression (either upregulation or downregulation). Part B shows a one-pot Golden Gate reaction, where multiple promoters (e.g., PrGPD, PrPGM, and PrTPI) and base plasmids are assembled together in a single tube. The resulting constructs are first transformed into E. coli for amplification, then into yeast for genome integration, and subsequently analyzed using a high-throughput platform.A two part cartoon of the TUNEYALI workflow.

  • Figure 1: Schematic overview of the TUNEYALI toolkit and workflow for tuning transcription factor expression in Yarrowia lipolytica. (A) A synthetic promoter is inserted into a base plasmid via SapI-based Golden Gate assembly to generate a TF expression construct. The engineered construct replaces the native promoter of the target transcription factor, enabling tunable expression. (B) Multiple promoters and base plasmids can be combined in a one-pot Golden Gate reaction to build a diverse TF plasmid library. The resulting constructs are transformed into Y. lipolytica, followed by automated screening and phenotypic analysis to evaluate the effects of transcription factor modulation.
