| Abstract |
Ogataea thermomethanolica TBRC656 is a thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast suitable for heterologous protein expression at various temperatures. However, the lack of efficient methods for targeted gene mutagenesis limits strain engineering in this yeast. In this study, we applied a CRISPR-Cas9 based-tool for targeted gene mutagenesis in O. thermomethanolica. The putative unfolded protein response (UPR) regulator OtHAC1, and the OtMAL1 (maltase) and OtMAL2 (maltose permease) genes involved with sucrose and maltose utilization were targeted for CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis. Plasmids were constructed for integrative and episomal expression of CRISPR-Cas9 elements in O. thermomethanolica in which Cas9 and gRNA are transcribed from the alcohol oxidase (AOX) promoter. The expression of these genome editing elements is controlled by derepression with glycerol and gRNA are flanked by self-cleaving ribozymes. For integrative system, OtHAC1, OtMAL1, and OtMAL2 were disrupted at 63%, 97%, and 93%, respectively. In addition, OtMAL1 was also disrupted with episomal system at 92%. These finding indicate that the CRISPR-Cas9 system described herein are thus applicable for studying gene function and strain engineering in yeast O. thermomethanolica. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 July 2018.
All research outputs
#15,745,807
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from FEMS Microbiology Letters
#4,690
of 5,774 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#190,319
of 340,059 outputs
Outputs of similar age from FEMS Microbiology Letters
#42
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,774 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,059 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
