The USTA gene and deletion mutants. (A) The USTA gene and gRNA spacers. The position and direction of gRNA spacers and primers used to generate and screen ustA deletion mutants are marked with arrows. The on-target scores of spacers UA01, UA13, and UA21 are labeled in the bracket. (B) PCR assays for the deletion of USTA (upper panel) and presence of the geneticin-resistance gene (lower panel) in 20 transformants generated with pCas9-tRp-gRNA-UA01 (spacer UA01). The 470-bp USTA fragment was only amplified in the wild-type (CK) and transformant 18. M: 1-kb DNA ladder marker. (C) PCR assays to verify gene replacement events in 20 putative ustA deletion mutants. The 1576-bp upstream and 1686-bp downstream recombination products were amplified with primer pairs USTA7F(U7F)/G855R and USTA8R(U8R)/G856F, respectively. Amplification with P1 was used as the negative control. M: 1-kb DNA ladder marker.
