Popis: Synthetic scaffold systems, which exhibit enzyme clustering effect, have been considered as an important parallel approach for metabolic flux control and pathway enhancement. Here, we described an improved DNA-based scaffold system for synthetic tri-enzymatic pathway in Escherichia coli. With plasmid DNA serving as scaffold and exogenous enzymes fused with rationally designed transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs), our approach successfully clustered three TALE-fused enzymes and significantly increased the production of a mevalonate-producing tri-enzymatic pathway with the optimized scaffold structure and plasmid copy number. These results further suggested the scalability and robustness of the TALE-based scaffold system, and we can assume that it can be used on numerous multi-enzyme metabolic pathways due to its programmable features.
