Embodiment 1
[0107] Identification of zinc finger endonuclease recognition sites in HIV proviruses
[0108] Due to the variability and complexity of HIV-1, it is easy to escape the attack of the immune system, drugs and vaccines, so the identification of zinc finger endonuclease recognition sites is a key step. In this example, the inventors carefully compared 344 HIV-1 subtypes, and finally determined the following sequence as the recognition site sequence:
[0109] CCAGATCTGAGCCTGGGAgctctCTGGCTAACTAGGGA (SEQ ID NO.: 1)
[0110] This sequence is very conserved in HIV-1 5'LTR and 3'LTR. Among the 344 HIV-1 subtypes, the conservation degree of this sequence in HIV-1 5'LTR and 3'LTR is as high as 93%.
Embodiment 2
[0112] Construction of a pair of ZFN-LTR plasmids (pZFN1 plasmid and pZFN2 plasmid)
[0113] In this example, the inventors prepared a pair of pUC plasmids carrying nucleotide sequences encoding zinc finger endonucleases (ZFN1 or ZFN2), that is, pZFN1 that recognizes the site of CCAGATCTGAGCCTGGGA (SEQ ID NO.: 2) and pZFN1 that recognizes pZFN2 at the CTGGCTAACTAGGGA (SEQ ID NO.: 3) site.
[0114] The preparation method of pZFN1 and pZFN2 plasmids is as follows: synthesize 3flag-NLS-zinc finger-FokI oligonucleotide sequence, and introduce NcoI and AvaI restriction sites, oligonucleotide fragments and pZFN at the 5' and 3' ends respectively The backbone plasmids were digested with NcoI and AvaI respectively, ligated, transformed into recipient bacteria, single clones were screened on a KanR plate, the plasmids were extracted, identified by enzyme digestion, and further sequence analysis confirmed.

[0119] ZFN-LTR mediates recombinant excision of integrated HIV provirus in HIV-1-infected cells
[0120] Construction and preparation of HIV-1 infected Jurkat cells: HIV-1 pseudovirus pNL4-3-EGFP carrying the EGFP reporter gene (pNL4-3-EGFP was purchased from the National Institutes of Health AIDS Reagent Distribution Center) was used to infect commercially available conventional human T lymphocyte Jurkat strain, GFP positive and negative cell populations were obtained by cell sorting. The GFP-positive cell population was used as a cell model of HIV infection for subsequent experiments.
[0121] The HIV-infected cell model carrying the EGFP reporter gene was cultured and plated, Nucleofector nuclear transfection or liposome transfection of different doses of ZFN-LTR expression plasmids, transfected with ZFN empty plasmids or untransfected cells were used as negative or blank controls, transfected Cells were collected 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 days after transfection, and flow cytomet...
