Engineering a Transcription Activation Toolkit by Rewiring Prokaryotic Transcription Factors and Synthetic Yeast Promoters in Yarrowia lipolytica

Abstract Yarrowia lipolytica is a promising industrial host, yet its metabolic engineering potential remains limited by insufficient genetic tools. Here, we engineered a synthetic Transcription Activation Toolkit (TAT) based on LacI–VPRH, a chimeric protein fusing the prokaryotic...
