Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there are relatively few promoters that can be used for Plasmodium berghei, and the commonly used promoter for Plasmodium berghei is only pbeef1aa, which cannot meet the needs of gene editing and multi-gene expression in Plasmodium berghei

Embodiment 1

[0055] Example 1 Validation of NT1 promoters of different lengths

[0056] Using the http: / / www.fruitfly.org / seq_tools / promoter.html website to analyze the sequence of the 2271bp upstream of the Plasmodium berghei NT1 gene, it is predicted that there are a large number of transcription start sites in the 2000bp upstream of the NT1 gene, of which 1427-1757bp The predicted transcription start site is the densest, and the 2000bp sequence around the upstream of the NT1 gene is truncated at different lengths and positions, and the transcription efficiency is compared with the commonly used Plasmodium berghei promoter pbeef1aa. The constructed vector is as follows Figure 1-2 As shown, truncated NT1 promoters of different lengths were replaced by EcoRV and BamHI restriction sites on the pl0017 vector, including NT1-1, NT1-2, NT1-3, NT1-4, NT1-5, NT1- 6. NT1-7, NT1-8 and NT1-9, the specific primers for amplifying these promoters are shown in Table 1:

[0062] Example 2 Different NT1 promoters compared with the control pbeef1aa promoter to express GFP fluorescence effect

[0063] Using the pl0018 vector as the backbone, the control promoter pbeef1aa and the comparative NT1 promoters NT1-1, NT1-6 and NT1-9 were respectively connected to the GFPm3-EAAAK3-NanoLuc-V5 fragment, and finally inserted into the backbone to form a complete vector, the terminator sequence is the original sequence on the backbone of pl0018, and the schematic diagram of constructing the vector is as follows Figure 7 As shown, the nucleotide sequence of the specific GFPm3-EAAAK3-NanoLuc-V5 fragment is shown in SEQ ID NO.28, specifically as follows:

Embodiment 3

[0070] Example 3 The Effect of Copy Number on the Expression of Plasmodium Exogenous Genes

[0071] Since the fluorescence intensity is not only affected by the transcription efficiency of the promoter, but also affected by the copy number of the exogenous gene in Plasmodium, this example identifies the copy number of these strains, uses GAPDH as the internal reference, and specifically obtains the primers of the GAPDH standard As shown in SEQ ID NO.38-39, the primers for obtaining GFPm3 standard products are shown in SEQ ID NO.40-41, and the specific sequences are shown in Table 3:

[0072] table 3

[0073]

[0074] The specific steps are as follows:

[0075] ①Standard product preparation

[0076] Preparation of GFPm3 standard: First, absorb 1.3 μl of GFPm3 original concentration template and add it to 98.7 μl of deionized water to form a standard with an initial concentration of 5 ng / μl, and then gradually dilute to obtain a concentration of 5.0, 5.0×10 -1 , 5.0×10 -2...

Abstract

The invention particularly relates to a promoter and its use, in particular to a promoter and its use for expressing a foreign gene of Plasmodium. The promoter is selected from the group consisting of: (1) DNA or a fragment comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and showing promoter activity in a stable phase specifictity manner in Plasmodium; or (2) and DNA or a fragment havinga homologity of 90% or more, preferably 95% or more with the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and showing promoter activity in a stable phase specifictity manner in Plasmodium. By synthesizing the sequence of NT1-9 (SEQ ID NO.1), the present invention finds that the nucleotide sequence having the NT1-9 sequence as a core has transcriptional activity and can be applied to different applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a promoter and its application, in particular to a promoter and its application for expressing malaria parasite exogenous genes. Background technique [0002] The expression of proteins is a fundamental process in living cells, and all the information needed for protein expression is provided by a single nucleic acid. The nucleic acid not only contains information on the amino acid sequence of the protein, it also provides the required regulatory information such as ribosome binding sites, transcription start and stop signals, splicing signals, enhancer elements, etc., including promoter / promoter sequences. [0003] The promoter is a DNA sequence that RNA polymerase recognizes, binds and initiates transcription. It contains the conserved sequence required for RNA polymerase specific binding and transcription initiation, and the promoter itself is not transcribed. Und...
