Embodiment 1

[0036] Example 1: Construction of ZFN expression vector and test of its gene knockout function

[0037] 1 Construction of ZFN expression vector

[0038] According to the sequence information of integrin β6 subunit gene (NM174698), the design of ZFNs was completed by Sigma Company. The sequence of the β6 subunit gene recognized by the designed pair of ZFNs (uppercase letters) and spliced ​​(lowercase letters) is as follows: TGTTCTTTCTATGTCtaggaaGGAATGATCACGTACAAG, as shown in sequence 3 in the sequence listing.

[0039] The structures of the ZFN recombinant expression vectors pBeta6-ko-ZFNP1 and pBeta6-ko-ZFNP2 that can recognize and cut the integrin β6 subunit gene are as follows: figure 1 A. figure 1 As shown in B, the backbone of the vector is pAVX, which contains pUCori, CMV promoter, BGHpA and kanR genes. According to the presumed coding sequence of zinc finger protein that can specifically bind to integrin, EcoRI-Flag-NLS-ZFNP1-BamHI and EcoRI-Flag-NLS-ZFNP2-BamHI gene...

[0049] Example 2: Obtaining monoclonal cells knocked out of the integrin β6 subunit gene

[0050] 1 Monoclonal culture of transfected pBeta6-ko-ZFNP1 / pBeta6-ko-ZFNP2 cells

[0051] The linearized pBeta6-ko-ZFNP1 and pBeta6-ko-ZFNP2 recombinant plasmids were transfected into bovine fetal fibroblasts, the cells were counted after 24 hours, and the cells were seeded in a 10cm culture dish according to the amount of 500 cells per dish, using 15% DMEM medium with FBS at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After 1 week of culture under certain conditions, observe under a microscope and mark the monoclonal cells in a good growth state with a marker pen. Using the method of cloning rings and trypsin digestion, the monoclonal cells are expanded to 48-well plates for culture. After the cells covered the monolayer, the cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin, and 10% of the cells were taken out for PCR amplification with primers P1 / P2 to identify whether gene knockout occurred. In addition, 90% of the cells ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for knocking out Beta 6 subunit genes of bovine integrins by utilizing zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs). The method comprises the steps that the ZFNs capable of specifically recognizing the Beta 6 genes of the bovine integrins is designed according to the sequence of the Beta 6 genes of the bovine integrins; expression vectors are constructed and bovine cells are transfected; and if fiber cells are formed, the cells of which the Beta 6 subunit genes of the integrins are knocked out are obtained. The method has the advantages that a pair of ZFNs capable of specifically recognizing and cutting the Beta 6 genes of the integrins is designed and synthesized by utilizing a gene knockout technology mediated by the ZFNs, and transgenic cloned cattle of which Beta 6 subunit biallelics of the integrins are knocked out is successfully obtained. Cell clones of which the biallelics are knocked out are obtained by utilizing transfection at a time, so the process of drug screening is saved, the formation of cell monoclines is promoted and the development rate of subsequent transgenic embryos is increased. Foreign genes do not exist in bodies of transgenic animals, so that the link of safety evaluation of organisms with the foreign genes is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a method for knocking out bovine integrin (Integrin) β6 subunit gene by using zinc finger nuclease (Zinc Finger Nuclease, ZFN). Background technique [0002] Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) can cause foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in cattle, sheep, pigs and other cloven-hoofed animals. The disease not only causes huge direct economic losses, but also seriously endangers the sustainable and healthy development of animal husbandry and the foreign trade of related products. Although China has achieved remarkable results through the comprehensive prevention and control policy of immunization control combined with local mandatory hunting, there are still FMD sporadic and endemic epidemics. Due to the multiple serotypes of FMDV circulating strains, rapid mutation, persistent and subclinical infection, it is difficult to control and eradicate FMD by a single means of vacci...
