Embodiment 1

[0041] 1. PCR amplification of exogenous linear targeting fragment containing kana resistance gene for knocking out loiP gene:

[0042] (1) Using the plasmid pKD4 containing the Kanak resistance gene as a template, use primers K-loiP-F and K-loiP-R to amplify the Kanak resistance gene linear targeting fragment "homologous arm + FRT + Kan Sequence+FRT+homology arm", after the amplification is completed, it is detected by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis.

[0043] The amplification system is shown in Table 1.

[0071] (1) Loss of the recombinant strain E.coli DH5α::Kan::△loiP Kanna resistance fragment (also can be understood as: deletion or knockout)

[0072] The temperature-sensitive plasmid pCP20, which can encode the recombinant protein FLP, was introduced into the correctly identified E.coliDH5α::Kan::△loiP recombinant strain by electroporation, revived and cultured at 30°C and 150r / min for 1 hour, and 200 μL was spread on the containing 35 μg / mL chloramphenicol on LB plate medium, cultured at 30°C for 8 hours, then increased to 42°C for overnight culture, heat-induced expression of FLP recombinase, and plasmid loss.

[0073] (2) Screening and identification of mutant strain E.coli DH5α::△loiP

[0074]Use a sterile toothpick to randomly pick 5 single colonies grown on the chloramphenicol plate, and inoculate each single colony on the chloramphenicol plate, the ampicillin plate and the plate without antibiotics, and culture at 37°C for 12-16 hours. The colony that can only grow o...

[0083] Determination of Transformation Efficiency of Mutant Strain E.coli DH5α::△loiP

[0084] with 100mM CaCl 2 Prepare wild-type E.coli DH5α and mutant strain E.coli DH5α::△loiP competent cells respectively, and dilute plasmids pUC19, pET-32a, p1304 to 5ng / μL. Take 2 μL and add them to 100 μL of the two competent states, mix gently, and ice-bath for 30 minutes. Heat shock at 42°C for 90s, ice-bath for 2min, then add 900μL LB culture medium and re-incubate at 37°C for 50min at 180r / min. Take 100 μL and spread on LB plate respectively, culture overnight at 37°C and count.

[0085] Transformation efficiency = (dilution × number of transformants × volume of transformation stock solution) / volume of coated bacterial solution / DNA mass number (μg)

[0086] The result is as Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the results show that the transformation efficiency of the competent cells of wild-type E.coli DH5α and mutant E.coli DH5α::ΔloiP to plasmid pUC19 is 6.29×10 6 CFU / μg and 1.89...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for suppressing gene horizontal transfer, and relates to the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering. The method for suppressing horizontal gene transfer disclosed by the present invention comprises: mixing target exogenous plasmids with loiP gene knockout competent host cells. By knocking out the loiP gene of the host cell, the transformation rate is reduced, and this method has the characteristic of significantly reducing the transformation efficiency. Compared with wild-type host cells, the transformation efficiency of loiP knockout host cells was 3.33 times lower for plasmid pUC19, 8.38 times lower for plasmid pET‑32a, and 2.75 times lower for plasmid p1304. This method greatly reduces the ability of host cells to absorb foreign plasmids, and is of great significance for resisting microbial drug resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a method for inhibiting gene horizontal transfer. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the abuse of antibiotics, many drug-resistant microorganisms have emerged, especially when the emergence of "super bacteria" resistant to several antibiotics has not only increased medical costs, but also seriously affected people's health. threat. Microorganisms acquire drug resistance mainly by absorbing drug-resistant DNA fragments from the external environment through transformation, conjugation and transduction, and further integrating into their own genome or carrying them for life in the form of plasmids. The invention provides a method capable of reducing the transformation efficiency of exogenous DNA, and expects to provide a new way for suppressing the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Contents of the invention [0003] In v...
