TITLE OF THE INVENTION
AUXOTROPHIC DIATOMS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This disclosure relates to auxotrophic diatoms and methods of producing said
auxotrophic diatoms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Photoautotrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria are emerging as alternative
platforms for synthetic
biology applications [1,2]. One microalgae species of interest is the diploid
marine diatom
Phaeodactylum tricornutum. A variety of plasmid-based genetic tools have been
developed for P.
tricornutum that facilitate basic molecular manipulations and expression of
complex synthetic
pathways [3,4,5,6]. We, and others, have developed plasmid-based and DNA-free
CRISPR
(clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats) reagents for targeted
chromosome editing in
P. tricornutum and related diatoms using the Cas9 protein (CRISPR-associated
protein 9)
[6,7,8,9,10,11]. P. tricornutum is diploid, meaning that Cas9-edited cells
must be carefully
screened to determine if knockouts are monoallelic or biallelic and exhibit
loss of heterozygosity.
These plasmid-based tools and synthetic pathways are currently maintained by
available antibiotic-
based selections, including zeocin, phleomycin, nourseothricin, and
blasticidin-S and their
resistance genes, Sh ble, nat, and bsr [12,13,14,15]. Antibiotic-based
selections can be
prohibitively expensive for maintaining large-scale cultures and are
problematic for applications
such as the biosynthesis of products intended for human consumption
[16,17,18].
A viable alternative to antibiotics is the use of auxotrophic selective
markers which require a strain
engineered to have a loss of function mutation in a key enzyme of an essential
biosynthetic
pathway. Examples of commonly used auxotrophic strains in industrial and
academic labs include
uracil, histidine, and tryptophan auxotrophs [19,20,21]. Two approaches have
been taken to
generate P. tricornutum auxotrophs. First, uracil-requiring mutants were
generated by random
.. mutagenesis that resulted in the identification of the bi-functional
uridine monophosphate synthase
(PtUMPS) gene predicted to catalyze the conversion of orotate into uridine
monophosphate (UMP)
[22]. Biolistic transformation and chromosomal integration of the PtUMPs gene
rescued the uracil-
requiring phenotype. Second, Cas9 was used to knockout the PtUMPS gene to
create uracil
auxotrophs and the PtAPT gene encoding a predicted adenine phosphoribosyl
transferase to create
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

2
adenine auxotrophs [7]. However, direct selection of these auxotrophs via
transformation with the
corresponding complementation marker has not been explored and the generation
of additional
auxotrophic strains would facilitate development of new plasmid-based
complementation markers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a plasmid-based editing strategy to generate
auxotrophic
knockouts in the uracil, histidine, and tryptophan biosynthesis pathways of P.
tricornutum and

histidine-requiring phenotypes, respectively. Individual auxotrophic strains

Overview
The marine pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (P. tricornutum) is a
genetically tractable
organism with a small, simple genome, a defined liquid growth media with
requirement for light
and oxygen, and scalable bioreactor culturing to volumes exceeding 10,000 L.
The present
invention relates to inventive P. tricornutum auxotrophic knockouts in the
biosynthesis pathway
of an organic compound necessary for the growth of P. tricornutum, to methods
of generating said
P. tricornutum auxotrophic knockouts and to plasmid-based copies of intact
PtUMPS and PtPRA-
PH/CH genes complement the uracil- and histidine-requiring phenotypes,
respectively. Individual
auxotrophic strains of the present invention are characterized by loss of
heterozygosity at the edited
alleles, and large, heterogeneous deletions up to about 2.7 kb. The auxotrophs
and their respective
complementation markers represent alternative to antibiotic-based selection of
plasmids in P.
tricornutum. The present invention also provides for a simple methodology to
cure plasmids from
auxotrophs to enable strain and genome engineering.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides for an auxotrophic strain of
Phaeodactylum
tricornutum (P. tricornutum) cells, wherein the strain has loss of
heterozygosity at a gene
necessary for the synthesis of an organic compound necessary for the growth of
P. tricornutum.
In one embodiment of the auxotrophic strain of P. tricornutum of the present
invention, the strain
is complemented with an auxotrophic selection plasmid having an expression
cassette comprising
a constitutive promoter operably linked to an activated gene necessary for the
synthesis of the
organic compound. In aspects, the organic compound is histidine, uracil or
tryptophan.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides for a method for
producing auxotrophic
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

13
strains of Phaeodactylum tricornutum (P. tricornutum) cells, wherein the
strain has loss of
heterozygosity at a target gene necessary for the synthesis of one of an
organic compound
necessary for the growth of P. tricornutum. In one embodiment, the method
comprises: (a)
introducing an editing plasmid into a strain of P. tricornutum, the editing
plasmid comprising a
TevCas9 gene (TevCas9 plasmid) or a Cas9 gene (Cas9 plasmid) and a single-
guide RNA
(sgRNA) against a binding site of the target gene, to obtain P. tricornutum
exconjugants, (b)
screening the P. tricornutum exconjugants for colonies of P. tricornutum
edited with the TevCas9
plasmid or the Cas9 plasmid in the target gene to obtain P. tricornutum edited
colonies, (c)
screening the P. tricornutum edited colonies for target gene knockout P.
tricornutum strains by
growing the P. tricornutum edited colonies on solid media with and without
auxotrophic
supplement including the organic compound, wherein P. tricornutum edited
colonies that do not
grow without auxotrophic supplement and grow with auxotrophic supplement are
target gene
knockout P. tricornutum strains, and (d) screening for loss of the plasmid
from the target gene
knockout P. tricornutum strains thereby producing the auxotrophic strain of P.
tricornutum.
The P. tricornutum auxotrophs of the present invention have use as host cells
for the production
of recombinant peptides including proteins, antibodies, glycoproteins and so
forth. In aspects, the
P. tricornutum auxotrophs of the present invention carry one or more plasmids
having an
expression cassette comprising a constitutive promoter operably linked to a
gene encoding the
recombinant peptide. The gene encoding the recombinant peptide is a gene that
can be expressed
(including overexpressed) in the host P. tricornutum auxotrophs to produce the
recombinant
peptide. The recombinant peptide so produced, can then be purified and
isolated.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides for a method of producing a
recombinant
peptide comprising: (a) providing an auxotrophic strain of Phaeodactylum
tricornutum (P.
tricornutum) cells according to the present invention in which the editing
plasmid of the P
tricornutum comprises a DNA sequence encoding the recombinant peptide; (b)
culturing said
auxotrophic strain of P. tricornutum cells under conditions permitting
expression of the DNA
sequence encoding the recombinant peptide; and d) recovering said recombinant
peptide.
In one embodiment of the method of producing a recombinant peptide of the
present invention,
the recombinant peptide is an antibody, a protein, an enzyme or a
glycoprotein.

In one embodiment of the method of producing a recombinant peptide of the
present invention,
the editing plasmid further comprises a constitutive promoter operably linked
to the DNA sequence
for encoding the recombinant peptide.
In aspects, the P. tricornutum auxotrophs of the present invention can be used
to produce a cell
.. extract for use in an in vitro protein expression reaction. In one
embodiment, the method includes
(a) culturing P. tricornutum auxotrophs in which a gene that is necessary for
the biosynthesis an
organic compound required for its growth has been inactivated in a growth
media comprising said
organic compound, wherein the P. tricornutum auxotrophs comprises an
auxotrophic selection
plasmid having an expression cassette comprising a constitutive promoter
operably linked to a
gene necessary for the synthesis of said organic compound; and (c) preparing a
P. tricornutum
auxotrophs cell extract of the culture. In aspects of the invention, the
organic compound is
histidine, uracil or tryptophan.
EXAMPLES
METHODS
Microbial strains and growth conditions
Saccharomyces cerevisiae VL6-48 (ATCC MYA-3666: M4Tahis3-6200 trpl-M ura3-
52 1ys2 ade2-1 met14 0) was grown in rich medium (YPD) or complete minimal
medium lacking
histidine (Teknova) supplemented with 60 mg L-1 adenine sulfate. Complete
minimal media used
for spheroplast transformation contained 1 M sorbitol. Escherichia coli
(Epi300, Epicenter) was
grown in Luria Broth (LB) supplemented with appropriate antibiotics
(chloramphenicol 25
mg L-1 or kanamycin 50 mg L-1 or ampicillin 50 mg L-1 or gentamicin 20
mg L-1). Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa
CCAP 1055/1)
was grown in Li medium without silica, with or without uracil (50 mg L-1) or
histidine (200
mg L-1) or 5-FOA (100 mg L-1), supplemented with appropriate antibiotics
zeocin (50 mg L-1) or
nourseothricin (100 mg L-1), at 18 C under cool white fluorescent lights (75
[LE m-2s-1) and a
photoperiod of 16 h light:8 h dark. Li media supplemented with nourseothricin
contained half the
normal amount of aquil salts. P. tricornutum auxotroph genotypes are as
follows. Mutations in
PtUMPS are described in reference to the chromosome 6 sequence (GenBank:
CM000609.1), and
mutations for PtPRA-PH/CH are in reference to the chromosome 3 sequence
(GenBank:

CP001142.1). Mutations described for each gene are listed for allele 1
followed by allele 2, and
numbered beginning from the first nucleotide of the start codon for
simplicity. Genotypes of
auxotroph strains generated in this study are listed in Table 5.
Transfer of DNA to P. tricornutum via conjugation from E. coil
Conjugations were performed as previously described [5'6]. Briefly, liquid
cultures (250 [IL) of P.
tricornutum were adjusted to a density of 1.0 x 108 cells mL-1 using counts
from a
hemocytometer, plated on 1/2 x Li 1% agar plates and grown for four days. Li
media (1.5 mL)
was added to the plate and cells were scraped and the concentration was
adjusted to
5.0 x108 cells mL-1. E. coil cultures (50 mL) were grown at 37 C to A600 of
0.8-1.0, centrifuged
for 10 min at 3,000xg and resuspended in 500 [IL of SOC media. Conjugation was
initiated by
mixing 200 [IL of P. tricornutum and 200 [IL of E. coil cells. The cell
mixture was plated on 1/2 x
Li 5% LB 1% agar plates, incubated for 90 min at 30 C in the dark, and then
moved to 18 C in
the light and grown for 2 days. After 2 days, Li media (1.5 mL) was added to
the plates, the cells
scraped, and 300 [IL (20%) plated on 1/2 x Li 1% agar plates supplemented with
zeocin 50
mg L-1 or nourseothricin 200 mg L-1. Colonies appeared after 7-14 days
incubation at 18 C with
light.
Plasmid design and construction
All plasmids (Table 6) were constructed using a modified yeast assembly
protocol [3940].
Plasmids pPtUMPSA1 and pPtUMPSA2 were made from pPtGE31 [P] by replacing the
URA3
element with a PCR fragment consisting of PtUMPS allele 1 or 2 with ¨ 1 kb up-
and down-stream
of the PtUMPS ORF amplified from P. tricornutum genomic DNA (oligonucleotides
are listed in
Table 7). Plasmids pPtUMPScAl and pPtUMPScA2 were made from pPtUMPSA1 and
pPtUMPSA2 by replacing the PtUMPS ORF with a PCR fragment consisting of PtUMPS
allele 1
or 2 amplified from P. tricornutum cDNA. Plasmid pPtUMPS40S was made from
pPtGE31 by
replacing the URA3 element with a cassette consisting of PCR fragments of the
40SRPS8
promoter and terminator [6] flanking a PCR fragment of the PtUMPS allele 1 ORF
amplified
from P. tricornutum genomic DNA. Plasmid pPtPRAPHCH was made from pPtGE31 [P]
by
replacing the URA3 element with a PCR fragment consisting of PtPRA-PH/CH with
¨ 1 kb up-
and downstream of the PtPRA-PH/CH ORF, amplified from P. tricornutum genomic
DNA. Using

Golden Gate assembly, sgRNAs targeting different regions of the PtUMPS and
PtPRA-PH/CH
genes were cloned into the BsaI sites positioned between the P. tricornutum U6
promoter and
terminator in pPtGE34 and pPtGE35. Plasmid constructs were confirmed by Sanger
sequencing at
the London Regional Genomics Facility.
Generation of PtUMPS 9S and PtPRA-PH/CH knockouts using Cas9 and TevCas9
Plasmids pPtGE34 or pPtGE35, containing no guide RNA or sgRNA.UMPS.1944,
sgRNA.UMPS.1646, sgRNA.UMPS.157, sgRNA.UMPS.311 for the PtUMPS gene, or
sgRNA.PRAPHCH.929 or sgRNA.PRAPHCH.120 for the PtPRA-PH/CH gene, were
conjugated
from E. coli to P. tricornutum and exconjugants were selected on zeocin-
containing media,
.. supplemented with uracil or histidine as appropriate [41]. Ten colonies
from each conjugation were
resuspended in TE buffer and flash frozen at ¨ 80 C followed by heating at 95
C to lyse cells
and extract genomic DNA. The genomic target site of each sgRNA in P.
tricornutum was
amplified by PCR and the products were analyzed by T7EI assay as follows; PCR
products were
denatured at 95 C for 5 min, slowly cooled to 50 C, and flash frozen at ¨ 20
C for 2 min. PCR
products (250 ng) were incubated with 2U of T7EI (NEB) in 1 x NEBuffer 2 for
15 min at 37 C
and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Colonies that showed editing by
T7EI assay were
grown in liquid culture supplemented with zeocin and uracil or histidine as
appropriate for 2 weeks
and serial dilutions were plated on selective media with uracil or histidine
to isolate sub-clones.
Sub-clones were then screened for homozygous PtUMPS or PtPRA-PH/CH knockout
phenotypes
by replica streaking on minimal Li media and Li media supplemented with uracil
or histidine as
appropriate. Streaks were grown for 5 days before visual identification of
phenotypes. Sub-clones
that were identified as phenotypic knockouts were resuspended in TE buffer and
flash frozen at ¨
80 C followed by heating at 95 C to lyse cells and extract genomic DNA, then
sgRNA target
sites were PCR amplified. Sanger sequencing of PCR products was performed at
the London
Regional Genomics Facility to identify the type and length of indels
generated. Stable bi-allelic
PtUMPS or PtPRA-PH/CH knockout mutant lines were then grown in nonselective Li
media
supplemented with uracil or histidine for 1 week to cure them of plasmids
before plating to obtain
single colonies. Resulting colonies were replica streaked onto nonselective
and zeocin-containing
media supplemented with uracil or histidine to identify colonies which had
successfully been cured
.. of the plasmid.

Spot plating P. tricornutum
Cultures of P. tricornutum were adjusted to 1 x106 cells mL-1 and serially
diluted 2 X three times.
For uracil auxotrophs, 10 [IL of each adjusted culture and dilutions were spot
plated onto minimal
Li media and Li media supplemented with uracil (50 mg L-1), 5-FOA (100 mg L-
1), or both. For
.. histidine auxotrophs, 10 [IL of each adjusted culture and dilutions were
spot plated onto minimal
Li media and Li media supplemented with histidine (200 mg L-1). Plates were
incubated at 18 C
under cool white fluorescent lights (75 pE m-2s-1) and a photoperiod of 16 h
light:8 h dark for 7-
days.
Measuring P. tricornutum growth rates
10 .. Growth was measured in a Multiskan Go microplate spectrophotometer.
Cultures of each strain
(WT, AUMPS1, AAUMPS1 + pPtUMPS40S, AUMPS1 + pPtUMPSA1, AUMPS1 +
pPtUMPSA2, AUMPS1 + pPtUMPScAl, AUMPS1 + pPtUMPScA2, AUMPS2 +
pPtUMP SA 1 , AUMPS2 + pPtUMP SA2, AUMPS2 + pPtUMP S cA 1 , AUMPS2 + pPtUMP S
cA2)
were adjusted to 5 x 105 cells mL-1 in Li media with and without supplemented
uracil (50 mg L-1),
.. 5-FOA (100 mg L-1), or both. Two hundred microliters of each adjusted
culture was added to three
wells (technical replicates) of a 96-well microplate. The 96-well microplates
were incubated at 18
C under cool white fluorescent lights (75 pE m-2s-1) and a photoperiod of 16 h
light:8 h dark for
10 days, and absorbance at 670 nm (A670) was measured every 24 h. The 96-well
microplates were
shaken briefly to resuspend any settled cells prior to absorbance
measurements. Note that
.. the A670 was not adjusted for path length and light scattering from the
microplate lid and is
therefore not directly comparable to optical density readings measured in a
standard cuvette.
P. tricornutum metabolite extraction
Cultures of P. tricornutum (Wild-type, AUMPS1, and AUMPS2) were grown with and
without
uracil supplementation and harvested during exponential phase as follows
(Note: The AUMPS1
and AUMPS2 cultures were first grown with uracil supplementation, then
switched to minimal Li
media for 1 week prior to harvesting). Cultures (-1 x 109 cells) were pelleted
by centrifugation at
4000xg for 10 min and washed by resuspending in fresh Li media. Cells were
pelleted again,
resuspended in a small volume (¨ 5 mL) of Li media, and transferred to a clean
10 mL syringe
(without needle) with the exit plugged by parafilm. The syringe was placed,
tip-down, into a clean
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

18
50 mL falcon tube and the cells were pelleted as above. The supernatant was
removed and the
pellet was slowly ejected from the syringe into a pre-chilled mortar
containing liquid nitrogen. The
frozen cells were ground to a fine powder and then transferred to a clean pre-
weighed 1.5 mL
Eppendorf tube, suspended half way in liquid nitrogen. Being careful to keep
samples frozen, 50
mg of frozen ground powder was weighed out into a new clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf
tube, pre-cooled
in liquid nitrogen, and 250 uL of cold extraction buffer with internal
standard (IS) (80% methanol
in MilliQ water, 125 jtM 15N2¨uracil) was added. The IS was added to the
samples to compensate
for losses that might occur during preparation of the samples and loss of
sensitivity attributable to
quenching of the signal by coeluting compounds. Samples were then homogenized
by vigorous
vortexing for 30 s in 10 second intervals, between which samples are kept on
ice for ¨ 30 s.
Homogenized samples were then spun down at 4 C for 10 min at 20,000 xg. The
supernatant was
transferred to a new clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube and spun down at 20,000xg for
5 min at 4 C.
The supernatant was again transferred to a new clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube and
kept at 4 C
overnight prior to LC¨MS analysis.
Chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry
Metabolites were separated at 45 C on a Waters Acquity HSS T3 column [2.1 x
100 mm, 1.8 pm]
in a Waters ACQUITY UPLC I-Class system (Waters, Milford, MA). Solvent A
consisted of water
and solvent B consisted of methanol, both containing 0.1% formic acid. Elution
was performed by
use of a linear gradient, at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, as follows: 0-2 min,
100% solvent A to 90%
solvent B; 2.01 min, 100% solvent A to recondition the column. A Waters Xevo
G2-S quadrupole
time of flight mass spectrometer was operated in negative electrospray
ionization (ESI) in
resolution mode. The capillary voltage was set to 1.0 kV, the source
temperature was 150 C,
desolvation temperature was 600 C, the cone gas was 50 L/h and the
desolvation gas was 1000
L/h. Leucine enkephalin was infused as the lock mass with a scan time of 0.3
seconds every 10 s,
and three scans were averaged. Linearity and detection limits for each
compound were established
by injection of calibration mixtures with different concentrations (0, 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, 31.25, 62.5,
125, 250, and 500 jtmol/L). Stable-isotope-labeled uracil (15N2¨uracil) was
used as the IS. The
concentration of each analyte was determined by use of the slope and intercept
of the calibration
curve that was obtained from a least-squares regression for the analyte/IS
peak-area ratio vs the
concentration of the analyte in the calibration mixture.

P. tricornutum DNA extraction and targeted long-read sequencing
Plasmids pPtGE34 or pPtGE35, containing sgRNAs targeting the PtUMPS, PtUrease,
or PtI3GPS-
PRAT gene were conjugated from E. coil to P. tricornutum and exconjugants were
selected on
zeocin-containing media, supplemented with uracil or tryptophan (100 mg L-1)
as appropriate. For
each transformation, colonies (¨ 1,000) were scraped and pooled in liquid Li
media and genomic
DNA was extracted using a modified akaline lysis protocol as follows: Cells
were pelleted at
4,000xg for 5 min, and resuspended in 250 pL resuspension buffer consisting of
235 pL P1
(Qiagen), 5 pL hemicellulose 100 mg mL-1, 5 pL of lysozyme 25 mg mL-1, and 5
pL zymolyase
solution (200 mg zymolyase 20 T (USB), 9 mL H20, 1 mL 1 M Tris pH 7.5, 10 mL
50% glycerol)
and incubated at 37 C for 30 min. Next, 250 pL of lysis buffer P2 (Qiagen) was
added, followed
by 250 pL of neutralization buffer P3 (Qiagen) and centrifugation at 16,000xg
for 10 min. The
supernatant was transferred to a clean tube, 750 pL isopropanol was added, and
the samples
centrifuged at 16,000xg for 10 min. A 70% Et0H wash was performed, centrifuged
at
16,000xg for 5 min, and pellets briefly dried, resuspended in 50-100 pL of TE
buffer, and
incubated at 37 C for 30-60 min.
The sgRNA target site regions were PCR amplified from sgRNA transformant
genomic DNA
samples, as well as a wild-type sample, with PrimeStar GXL polymerase (Takara)
using primers
positioned ¨ 3 kb up- and downstream of the target site (Table 7). PCR
products were purified
and DNA libraries were prepared, barcoded, and pooled using an Oxford Nanopore
Ligation
Sequencing Kit (SQK L5K109) and Native Barcoding Expansion 1-12 (EXP-NBD104)
kit
according to manufacturer's protocol with the following modification¨all
reactions were scaled
down to half the recommended volume and the end prep incubation times were
extended to 15 min
at 20 C and 15 min at 65 C. The pooled library was then loaded on to a
MinION R9.4.1 flowcell
and sequenced.
Targeted long-read sequencing analysis
After sequencing on an R9.4.1 flowcell, base calling was performed using GPU
Guppy with the
high accuracy configuration file version 3.4.4
(https://community.nanoporetech.com). Reads in
each barcode were filtered using NanoFilt [42] for a minimum average read
quality score of 10
and a minimum read length of 2,000, mapped using minimap2 [43] and filtered
for reads that map

to within 100 bases of each end of the reference sequence (the unedited 6 kb
PCR product
sequence) to remove short fragments. The filtered reads were mapped using
minimap2
(parameters: -ax map-ont) and outputted in sam format, then converted to bam,
sorted, and indexed
using samtools 1441. The per-base coverage depth for each barcode was
calculated using Mosdepth
[45]. All plots were created in R using the ggp1ot2 package [46].
RESULTS
Identification of Cas9 targets in biosynthetic pathway genes
We examined the KEGG predictions [2324] based on the genome sequence of P.
tricornutum to
identify genes in the uracil and histidine biosynthetic pathways for Cas9
editing. We focused on
these two pathways as uracil and histidine auxotrophy, and counter-selection
strategies are
commonly used in other model organisms. This approach identified the bi-
functional PtUMPS
gene that is predicted to catalyze two steps in the uracil pathway¨conversion
of orotate to
orotidine monophosphate (OMP), and conversion of OMP to uridine monophosphate
(UMP)
(Fig. 1A) [22]. Proteins that are orthologs of characterized enzymes involved
in histidine
biosynthesis were also identified (Fig. 2A). The PHATR 3140 gene, hereafter
called PtPRA-
PH/CH, encodes a predicted bifunctional protein that shares sequence
similarity with the bacterial
protein HisIE, and its plant counterpart HISN 2 [2526]. These proteins possess
two functional
domains that are homologous to the phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase
(PRA-PH) and
phosphoribosyl-AMP cyclohydrolase (PRA-CH) enzymes, respectively. PRA-PH and
PRA-CH,
alone or as a bifunctional protein, are predicted to catalyze two successive
steps that occur early
in the histidine biosynthesis pathway (Fig. 2A). The PtIGPS gene encoding
imidazole glycerol
phosphate synthase (a HIS3 homolog) was found to be a duplicated gene in the
P.
tricornutum genome assembly and thus not prioritized as a Cas9 target.
We also identified the PtI3GPS-PRAI gene as a potential target as it encodes a
predicted bi-
functional enzyme that is a fusion of indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase
(I3GPS) and
phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase (PRAT), and would catalyze two successive
steps in the
tryptophan biosynthesis pathway O.

To confirm the genomic target sites, we PCR-amplified and sequenced the PtUMPS
and PtPRA-
PH/CH genes of the P. tricornutum CCAP 1055/1 strain used in our laboratory.
Two distinct
alleles for both the PtUMPS and PtPRA-PH/CH genes were identified. Seven
single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PtUMPS alleles result in amino acid substitutions
that differentiate
the two alleles from each other and from the published P. tricornutum genome
(Table 2). All
substitutions are located in non-conserved regions of the PtUMPS protein (Fig.
5). Similarly, an
A to G mutation at base position 1205 in allele 2 of the PtPRA-PH/CH gene was
identified (Table
2). This transversion converts a highly conserved glutamate to a glycine in
the catalytic site of the
PRA-PH domain. The impact of these substitutions on PtUMPS and PtPRA-PH/CH
function is
unknown.
Cas9 and TevCas9 editing of auxotrophic genes is characterized by loss of
heterozygosity
To generate knockouts in uracil and histidine biosynthetic genes, we designed
and individually
cloned Cas9 and TevCas9 single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) against different sites in
the PtUMPS,
PtPRA-PH/CH, and PtI3GPS-PRAI genes (Table 1). The TevCas9 nuclease is a dual
nuclease that
generates a 33-38 base pair deletion between the I-TevI (Tev) and Cas9 cut
sites [27]. The
targeting requirements for a TevCas9 nuclease are an I-TevI 5'-CNNNG-3'
cleavage motif
positioned ¨15-18 base pairs upstream of the 5' end of the sgRNA binding site.
The Cas9 or
TevCas9 editing plasmids were moved into P. tricornutum by bacterial
conjugation and
exconjugants selected on zeocin-containing media.

We first assessed editing by screening P. tricornutum exconjugants by T7
endonuclease I (T7EI)
mismatch cleavage assays on PCR products amplified from each target gene
(Figs. 1B, 2B,
Table 1). This assay identified 6 sgRNAs with detectable editing rates based
on screening of
exconjugants. Colonies that showed editing were diluted, plated to obtain
subclones, and
subsequently screened for the corresponding auxotrophic phenotype on solid
media with and
without auxotrophic supplement (uracil or histidine) (Figs. 1C, 2C). To cure
the Cas9-editing
plasmids, knockout strains were grown without zeocin selection for 1 week, and
dilutions were
plated to obtain single colonies. Colonies were streaked onto Li plates with
and without zeocin to
screen for plasmid loss. A representative image demonstrating zeocin
sensitivity due to loss of the
Cas9-editing plasmid is shown in Fig. 1D. For knockout of the PtUMPS gene, we
further
characterized 3 subclones with a uracil-requiring phenotype to determine if
the knockouts were
monoallelic or biallelic. Because the two PtUMPS alleles of P. tricornutum
possessed SNPs
relative to each other, we were able to map allele-specific editing events
(Figs. 1E, 1F). Two of
the strains, AUMPS1 and AUMPS2, were biallelic and exhibited loss of
heterozygosity with one
allele possessing a small deletion (<20 bps) and the other allele possessing a
large deletion (> 610
bp). The third characterized subclone, AUMPS3, was monoallelic and possessed a
homozygous 1-
bp insertion. For the PtPRA-PH/CH knockouts that generated a histidine-
requiring phenotype
(Fig. 2B,C), targeted sequencing of one subclone revealed a biallelic genotype
with an 11-bp
deletion in one allele and a 6-bp deletion in the second allele (Figs. 2D,
2E).
The types of deletions observed in the uracil- and histidine-auxotrophs are
consistent with
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

24
heterogeneous editing events resulting in loss of heterozygosity [282930]. To
extend these
observations, we used Nanopore sequencing to better assess the spectrum of
large deletions that
are often overlooked in Cas9-editing studies. In addition to the two sgRNAs
that showed robust
editing on the PtUMPS gene, we examined deletion events in exconjugants with
sgRNAs targeted
to the PtUREASE gene [6] and the PtI3GPS-PRAI gene. For each experiment, ¨
1,000
exconjugants were pooled and a ¨ 6 kb PCR product generated for each of the
target genes with
the predicted Cas9 or TevCas9 target sites in the middle of the amplicon. We
focused our attention
on deletions > 50 bp as these deletions are typically under-reported in
targeted amplicon
sequencing. We noted a drop in Nanopore read coverage centered around the
predicted sgRNA
target sites for products amplified from Cas9 and TevCas9 editing experiments
(black dots) as
compared to read coverage for control experiments (orange dots), consistent
with editing at those
sites (Fig. 3, left panels). Mapping the deletion start and end points
revealed that most deletions
were centered on the Cas9 or TevCas9 target site (Fig. 3, right panels), with
deletions extending
up to 2700 bp (Fig. 3, centre panel). The mean deletion length for editing
events examined by
Nanopore sequencing and > 50 bp was 1735 719 bp for Cas9 and 2006 633 bp for
TevCas9.
Collectively, these data shows that Cas9 or TevCas9 editing of biosynthetic
genes can readily
generate P. tricornutum auxotrophs that can be identified by phenotypic or
genetic screens.
Moreover, our data agree with a growing body of evidence revealing that Cas9
editing (and
TevCas9 editing here) generates large deletions that would typically be missed
unless screening
strategies are explicitly designed to look for loss of heterozygosity.
Phenotypic and metabolomic characterization of the PtUMPS knockouts
Two uracil-requiring auxotrophs (AUMPS1 and AUMPS2) were selected for further
characterization by first spot plating onto Li media with and without uracil
and 5-FOA (Fig. 4A).
The PtUMPS knockout strains were only able to survive in the presence of
uracil supplementation.
Additionally, the knockouts survived on 5-FOA concentrations that fully
inhibited the growth of
wild-type P. tricornutum (Fig. 4A). This is consistent with phenotypes
previously observed for P.
tricornutum UMPS knockouts [2'22]. There was a slight growth advantage of
AUMPS1
over AUMPS2 on media supplemented with both 5-FOA and uracil, but not on media
containing
uracil alone. To compare if the observed phenotypes were consistent across
solid and liquid media,
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

25
we monitored the growth of these strains over 10 days in liquid media (Fig.
4B) and found that the
growth rates were consistent with those observed on solid media, with one
notable difference
(Supplementary Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, Table 4). The growth advantage of AUMPS1
over AUMPS2
observed on solid media supplemented with both 5-FOA and uracil was not
replicated in liquid
media as the generation times for AUMPS1 and AUMPS2 were very similar (-24 and
¨ 22 h,
respectively).
To investigate the impact of PtUMPS knockouts on uracil metabolism, we
performed targeted
metabolomics on the UMPS substrate orotate using LC¨MS in wild-type and
knockouts strains
(Fig. 4C). We focused on characterizing the orotate intermediate in the uracil
pathway
(Figs. 2A, 4C) predicting that there should be an increase of orotate in
knockout strains relative to
wild type. We were unable to detect orotate in the AUMPS1 strain in the
absence of uracil
supplementation (-uracil), or in the AUMPS2 strain in either the -uracil or
+uracil condition.
A ¨ sixfold increase of cellular orotate levels was observed in the wild-type
strain when Li media
was supplemented with uracil (+uracil) as compared to minimal Li media (-
uracil) (Fig. 4C).
Interestingly, when the AUMPS1 strain was grown with uracil supplementation we
detected
orotate at levels similar to those observed in the wild-type strain grown with
uracil. This result
suggests that allele 1 in the AUMPS1 knockout strain (with an 18-bp in-frame
deletion) retains
UMPS activity that behaves similarly to the wild-type strain. In contrast, the
AUMPS2 strain has
two out-of-frame deletions that likely abolish ODC and OPRT activity. We
speculate that
undetectable levels of orotate in the AUMPS2 strain may be because it is
diverted to another
biosynthetic pathway.
Plasmid complementation of the uracil and histidine auxotrophs
Plasmid-based complementation of P. tricornutum auxotrophs would validate that
the Cas9-
editing event was the cause of the auxotrophic phenotype, as well as providing
alternatives to
antibiotic-based selection methods to maintain episomal vectors. We first
examined
complementation of the uracil-requiring phenotype by cloning both gDNA and
cDNA versions of
each PtUMPS allele with the native promoter and terminator into the
nourseothricin-resistant
pPtGE31 expression plasmid [6]. These plasmids were designated pPtUMPSA1,
pPtUMPSA2,
pPtUMPScAl, and pPtUMPScA2 (Table 4) and moved into the AUMPS1 and AUMPS2
strains
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

26
via conjugation. Exconjugants were spot-plated onto solid Li media with and
without uracil and
5-FOA supplementation (Fig. 4A). All complemented strains grew on minimal Li
media, while
the uncomplemented knockouts did not, confirming expression of the UMPS gene
from the
pPtGE31 plasmid. No strain grew on 5-FOA alone. Unexpectedly, some of the
complemented
strains survived on plates supplemented with both 5-FOA and uracil. For
example, when AUMPS2
was transformed with either of the allele 1 complementation plasmids
(pPtUMPSA1 and
pPtUMPScAl), clear resistance to 5-FOA in the presence of uracil was observed.
The phenotypes
observed on solid media were consistent with those observed when the strains
were grown in liquid
media with similar media supplementation (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7).
The growth phenotype of the AUMPS1 and AUMPS2 strains in media supplemented
with uracil
and 5-FOA could be explained by counter-selection against the plasmid carrying
an intact PtUMPS
gene that would metabolize 5-FOA to a toxic intermediate. We thus tested for
plasmid loss in the
complemented strains by plating the AUMPS1 and AUMPS2 strains carrying
different expression
plasmids on solid Li with and without nourseothricin after 14 days of growth.
As shown in
Fig. 4D, plasmid retention, as measured by the ratio of colonies on Li plus
nourseothricin versus
Li plates, was severely reduced in all strains, ranging from ¨ 1 to ¨ 33%.
This observation could
explain why colonies readily appeared on Li media supplemented with 5-FOA and
uracil and
suggest that curing of plasmids carrying the PtUMPS gene from PtUMPS knockout
strains is a
simple matter of growth on the appropriate media.
Similarly, we were able to complement the histidine-requiring phenotype by
cloning a wild-type
copy of the PtPRA-PH/CH gene into an expression vector, and transforming the
plasmid into
the APRAPHCH1 strain by conjugation. The APRAPHCH1 strain with the
complementing
plasmid grew on both solid Li media with and without histidine
supplementation, whereas
the APRAPHCH1 strain without the complementing plasmid only grew on Li media
with histidine
supplementation (Fig. 2C).
Discussion
The available tools for genetic manipulation of P. tricornutum and other
diatoms have grown
substantially in recent years, including the adaptation of TALEN and Cas9
genome-editing
nucleases for targeted knockouts as well as plasmid-based and DNA-free methods
to deliver the
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

27
nucleases to cells [6'7'8'9'11'31'32]. Applications of genome-editing
nucleases in P. tricornutum at
this point have mostly been to generate gene knockouts, with a few examples of
reporter construct
knockins. Generation of gene knockouts by Cas9 or other editing enzymes relies
on non-
homologous end-joining repair pathways [33], homologs of which are predicted
to occur in the P.
tricornutum genome [23'24]. A recent study used antisense RNA to knockdown a
predicted DNA
ligase IV homolog (ligIV) in P. tricornutum resulting in an increased rate of
homologous
recombination of a reporter construct [34]. What is not yet known for P.
tricornutum is the balance
between NHEJ and homology directed repair (HDR) pathways that process
endonuclease-
introduced double-strand breaks (see for example [35]). Examination of Cas9 or
TALEN-edited
sites in P. tricornutum revealed small nucleotide insertions or deletions
localized near the editing
site that are consistent with NHEJ repair events. It is becoming increasingly
apparent that repair
of Cas9-edited sites result in heterogenous alleles often characterized by
both small and large
deletions (for example, Fig. 1D) [6'8'36]. Repair events leading to large
indels are often missed by
experimental strategies that examine repair outcomes localized around the
editing site. In contrast,
large deletions visible by long-read sequencing methodologies and our Nanopore
data indicate that
Cas9 and TevCas9 editing events result in deletions up to ¨ 2.7 kb in length.
Cas9 editing with a
single sgRNA in P. tricornutum could achieve the same goal as the paired Cas9
nickase strategy
to specifically introduce large deletions [37], and may be complementary with
recently developed
methods to multiplex sgRNAs on Cas9-editing plasmids for P. tricornutum [10].
Regardless, a
better understanding of DNA repair pathways that operate on Cas9-introduced
double-strand
breaks will better inform strategies to bias repair events depending on the
experimental goal.
The creation of auxotrophic strains of P. tricornutum with plasmid based
rather than
chromosomally integrated complementation markers is critical for a number of
reasons.
Auxotrophic strains expand the available selection schemes beyond traditional
antibiotic markers
and provide a facile method for strain cataloging and validation. Antibiotic-
free selection is also
an advantage when P. tricornutum is used for production of human therapeutics.
In the case of
uracil auxotrophs, complementing plasmids can be cured (or counter selected)
by simple inclusion
of 5-FOA and uracil in the growth media. We have previously shown that
plasmids are lost from P.
tricornutum by passaging cultures over multiple days in the absence of
antibiotic selection required
for maintenance of the plasmid [38]. However, the counter selection method by
5-FOA and uracil
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-17

28
supplementation is more rapid and requires screening significantly fewer
colonies to confirm
plasmid loss. The ability to rapidly cure plasmids will be of tremendous value
to prevent prolonged
expression of Cas9 and possible toxicity issues during strain engineering, to
cure incompatible
plasmids, or to cure reporter or expression plasmids under distinct growth
conditions. We also
.. envision that rapid curing of plasmids would allow recycling of a limited
number of selection
markers for serial transformations needed for strain construction or genomic
engineering.
