A novel nucleic acid linker for multi-gene expression enhances plant and animal synthetic biology

© 2024 Society for Experimental Biology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

The production of compact vectors for gene stacking is hindered by a lack of effective linkers. Here, we report that a 26-nt nucleic acid linker, NAL1, from the fungus Glarea lozoyensis and its truncated derivatives could connect two genes as a bicistron, enabling independent translation in a maize protoplast transient expression system and human 293 T cells. The optimized 9-nt NAL10 linker was then used to connect four genes driven by a bidirectional promoter; this combination was successfully used to reconstruct the astaxanthin biosynthesis pathway in transgenic maize. The short and efficient nucleic acid linker NAL10 can be widely used in multi-gene expression and synthetic biology in animals and plants.
