Outline
Double-crossover homologous recombination using the SacB negative selection system is commonly employed for genome editing in Gram-negative bacteria. However, its negative selection efficiency varies significantly across strains, being frequently compromised by differences in metabolic characteristics or genomic composition. [Objective] To develop a novel counterselection system based on the type VI secretion system (T6SS) effector Txe1 to enhance the efficiency of seamless genome editing. [Methods] We first modified the conventional suicide plasmid pDM4 by introducing a kanamycin resistance gene, generating the derivative plasmid pDM4K. Subsequently, we replaced sacB with an l-arabinose-inducible expression cassette encoding the C-terminal domain of Txe1 (araC-PBAD::txe1CTD ), constructing a novel counterselection plasmid pTL1010. Using the virulence gene tssB of Edwardsiella piscicida FC2 as the target, we systematically evaluated and compared the counterselection efficiency of the Txe1 system with that of the conventional SacB system. [Results] Under induction with l-arabinose, the Txe1-based counterselection system achieved the efficiency of 91.1% (false-positive rate of 8.9%), outperforming the SacB system which had a false-positive rate of 100% (P<0.01). [Conclusion] The newly developed Txe1-based counterselection plasmid pTL1010 significantly enhances the efficiency of seamless genome editing in E. piscicida and provides a highly effective tool for precise genetic manipulation in Gram-negative bacteria.
