Published: August 2024

Mobile clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats interference (Mobile-CRISPRi) is an established method for bacterial gene expression knockdown. The deactivated Cas9 protein and guide RNA are isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside inducible, and all components are integrated into the chromosome via Tn transposition. Here, we optimized methods specific for applying Mobile-CRISPRi in multiple species.

CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a robust gene silencing technique that is ideal for targeting essential and conditionally essential (CE) genes. CRISPRi is especially valuable for investigating gene function in pathogens such as P. aeruginosa where essential and CE genes underlie clinically important phenotypes such as antibiotic susceptibility and virulence.

Facile bacterial genome sequencing has unlocked a veritable treasure trove of novel genes awaiting functional exploration. To make the most of this opportunity requires powerful genetic tools that can target all genes in diverse bacteria. CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a programmable gene-knockdown tool that uses an RNA-protein complex comprised of a single guide RNA (sgRNA) and a catalytically inactive Cas9 nuclease (dCas9) to sterically block transcription of target genes.
