MortensenCenter for Microbial Biotechnology, DTU Systems Biology, Technical University of DenmarkContact: bgha@bio.dtu.dkThe rapid increase in the number of sequenced organisms has resulted in an explosion in the number of genes that are desired toheterologously express. However, heterologous expression requires the creation of DNA constructs which is the bottleneck in theconstruction of strains of interest in most projects. One promising technique to overcome this bottleneck is uracil-excision based cloningwhich was first described in the early 1990s. This technology has been available as a commercial kit for several years (USER™)however, the technology has remained largely unused. We have made several essential modifications to this technology which nowallows simultaneous fusion and cloning of multiple PCR products independently of restriction sites. Here we present a flexible and fastapproach to generate constructs for heterologous expression in fungi.IntroductionPerspectivesThe improved USER (uracil-specific excision reagent) technique provides the means of efficiently overcoming the bottleneck thatcloning typically is in metabolic engineering projects. Furthermore, in addition to its role in creating constructs for heterologousexpression the technology is highly suitable for high-throughput applications such as creating deletion and reporter/gene libraries.Based on the impact on the cloning output in our laboratories, we believe that this technique will be able to move molecular biologyinto an era where the cloning step occupies only a minor part of a metabolic engineering project.A PCR fragment amplified with PfuTurbo® Cx Hotstart DNA polymerase is mixed withthe deoxyuridine-excising USER™(NEB) and the linearized vector, whereupon thehybridized product is ready to be transformed into E.coli without prior ligation.Directionality is preserved in the cloning event by two base difference in the overhangs(highlighted in yellow and green).
