Problems solved by technology

Using amiRNA, people can specifically and efficiently silence target genes, such as miR159a precursor, miR164b precursor, miR319a precursor, etc., have been used to construct artificial small RNA vectors, but the precursors of these miRNAs are relatively large, and the construction requires multiple nesting PCR, cumbersome to build

Embodiment 1

[0019] Example 1, the acquisition of pCAMBIA-35SE vector

[0020] The 35S-GUS-Nos fragment of about 3000 bp was excised from pBI121 (Clontech) using HindIII / EcoRI, and the digested fragment was purified by Qiagen's agarose gel purification kit and ligated into the HindIII / EcoRI site of pCAMBIA1303 (CAMBIA). The intermediate vector pCAMBIA-35S was formed. After the plasmid was digested with EcoRI, the sticky ends were blunted by T4 DNA polymerase and then self-ligated, thereby removing the EcoRI I site in the plasmid pCAMBIA-35S, and named pCAMBIA1303-35SE.

Embodiment 2

[0021] Example 2. Artificial miRNA vector pAmiR169d

[0022] The Arabidopsis miR169d precursor sequence contains 154nt and can form a simple neck loop structure ( Figure 1A ), and after analyzing its sequence, modify it without changing its secondary structural characteristics.

[0023] Artificially designed and synthesized 8 oligonucleotide fragments with overlapping complementary sequences, mutated 2 and 3 bases in the middle, and created EcoR I and Sal I restriction sites at both ends of the miRNA, but did not change Secondary structure of the precursor sequence of ath-miR169d ( Figure 1B ). The sequences of the eight oligonucleotide fragments are as follows:

[0024] oligo 1 (5′-gatccGTACATAGAGTCTTGCATGGA-3′)

[0025] oligo2(5′-AAAATTAAAGaattcATTGAGCCAAGGATGACTTGCCGATGTT-3′)

[0026] oligo3 5′-ATCAACAAATCTTAACTGATTTTGGTGTCCGGCAAGTTGACCTT-3′)

[0027] oligo4 5′-GGCTCTGTCGACTTCTTTTCTTTTCAATGTCAAACTCTAGATATgagct-3′)

[0028] oligo5(5′-cATATCTAGAGTTTGACATTGAA-3′)

Embodiment 3

[0033] Example 3. Silencing the target gene GUS-GFP using pAmiR169d vector

[0034] Four oligonucleotide fragments were directly synthesized, and annealed to form a double-stranded DNA containing the AmiR-gfp sequence (such as Figure 1C ), the ends are designed as EcoR I and SalI restriction sites, and the specific sequences are as follows:

[0035] oligo9(5′-aattcGATtTGTATTCCAaCTTGTGGCCGatgtTAT-3′)

[0036] oligo 10 (5′-CAAcaAATCttAActGATTTTGGTGtccggccacaagatggaatacatGTcgac-3′)

[0037] oligo 11 (5'-AAAATCagTTaaGATTtgTTGATAacatCGGCCACAAGtTGGAATACAaATCg-3')

[0038] oligo 12(5′-tcgagtcgACatgtattccatcttgtggccggaCACC-3′)

[0039] The annealed product was directly inserted into the plasmid pAmiR169d digested by EcoR I and Sal I to form the vector pAmiR-gfp. The construction process is shown in figure 2 .

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of gene engineering, in particular to a modified miR169d precursor sequence and an application thereof in gene silencing. The nucleotide sequence of the miR169d precursor sequence amiR169d modified according to the invention is shown in SEQ No.2. In the invention, two specific restriction sites in the neck structure region of the amiR169d precursor sequence are designed, so that the artificially designed target sequence can be conveniently inserted into a carrier of the invention, and plant cells can be introduced to effectively cause the target gene silencing. The transformed plant hosts not only can be dicotyledonous plants such as arabidopsis, tobacco, soybeans and the like but also can be monocotyledonous plants such as corn, rice, wheat and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular, the present invention relates to the modification of miR169d precursor sequence and its use in gene silencing. Background technique [0002] RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated gene silencing is a very useful and effective tool for regulating gene expression, and has been widely used in gene function identification, plant antiviral response, crop quality improvement, and agronomic trait improvement. In the RNAi method, the current general method is to construct the target gene that needs to be silenced into an inverted repeat sequence, and after transcription, a card RNA (hpRNA) is formed, which is then processed by DCL enzyme into a 22nt small RNA, which specifically silences homology. target gene. Since hpRNA can generate multiple ~22nt siRNAs, some of them have the potential to act on other non-target genes, which may affect the expression of other unrelated genes. [0...
