| Abstract |
A major challenge in constructing artificial cells is the establishment of a recursive genome replication system coupled with gene expression from the genome itself. One of the simplest schemes of recursive DNA replication is the rolling-circle replication of a circular DNA coupled with recombination. In this study, we attempted to develop a replication system based on this scheme using self-encoded phi29 DNA polymerase and externally supplied Cre recombinase. We first identified that DNA polymerization is significantly inhibited by Cre recombinase. To overcome this problem, we performed in vitro evolution and obtained an evolved circular DNA that can replicate efficiently in the presence of the recombinase. We also showed evidence that during replication of the evolved DNA, the circular DNA was reproduced through recombination by Cre recombinase. These results demonstrate that the evolved circular DNA can reproduce itself through gene expression of a self-encoded polymerase. This study provides a step forward in developing a simple recursive DNA replication system for use in an artificial cell.
