[0090] 1. The effect of a single drug on KI efficiency

[0091] The PX330-hACTB-Cas9-mTHAP11 vector and the 2mTHAP11-hACTB-2mTHAP11 donor vector were co-transfected into HEK293T cells (10cm cell plate). After 6 hours of transfection, the cells were digested and inoculated into a 24-well plate at a ratio of 1:1. After 12 hours, the small molecule compound was added after the cells adhered to the wall, and the final concentration was controlled to be 10 μM, and only one drug was contained in each well. After 36-48 hours, the expression of green fluorescence was detected by flow cytometry, which was the KI efficiency of the cells. Two better small molecule compounds screened out were Vinblastine and Valnemulin hydrochloride. The above-mentioned experimental process was repeated after the drug was serially diluted, and the final concentration of the drug was set in four gradients: 10 μM, 5 μM, 2.5 μM, and 1 μM. The result is as Figure 13 As shown, Vinblastine and Valnemulin hy...

[0097]Co-transfect the PX330-hACTB-Cas9-mTHAP11 vector and the donor vector 2mTHAP11-hACTB-2mTHAP11, and co-transfect the PX330-hGAPDH-Cas9-mTHAP11 vector and the donor vector 2mTHAP11-hGAPDH-2mTHAP11 into different cell lines, namely HEK293T cells, Hela cells, HepG2 cells, and A549 cells were digested 6 hours after transfection, and seeded into 24-well plates at a ratio of 1:1. After 12 hours, after the cells adhered to the wall, Valnemulin was added to various KI cells. 1 , control the final concentration to 1 μM, and use flow cytometry to detect the expression of green fluorescence after 36-48 hours to verify that the Cas9-mTHAP11 fusion protein cooperates with Valnemulin 1 Effects on KI efficiency for different genomes and different cell lines. The result is as Figure 16-19 As shown, in HEK293T cells, Hela cells and HepG2 cells, Cas9-mTHAP11 fusion protein cooperates with Valnemulin 1 Both can improve the KI efficiency of the exogenous gene knock-in integration system a...

Abstract

The invention discloses Cas9 fused protein capable of improving the gene knock in efficiency and a safe efficient exogenous gene knock in and integration system. According to the Cas9 fused protein capable of improving the gene knock in efficiency and the safe efficient exogenous gene knock in and integration system, by fusing the Cas9 protein and DNA binding domains of a transcription factor to produce the Cas9 fused protein for gene knock in, the gene knock in efficiency can be effectively improved. According to the exogenous gene knock in and integration system, on the basis of applying theCas9 fused protein, a small-molecule compound is further used for intervening cells co-transfected by an expression vector, which empresses the Cas9 fused protein and gRNA, and a donor vector, and bymeans of a synergistic effect of the Cas9 fused protein and the small-molecule compound, occurrence of KI events of different genotypes and cell lines can be effectively promoted, so that the gene knock in efficiency is significantly improved, and convenience is provided for production of model animals and gene therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and relates to a Cas9 fusion protein and an exogenous gene knock-in integration system for improving gene knock-in efficiency. Background technique [0002] Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is a self-defense system derived from archaea and bacteria, mainly used to resist the attack of foreign invading viruses. At present, the CRISPR / Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9) system has been developed as an important tool for genome editing. The system uses about 20 nt guide RNA (guide RNA, gRNA) to specifically recognize PAM (protospacer adjacent motifs, before the spacer sequence) Next, the RuvC and HNH domains of Cas9 cut the target genome to form a DNA double-strand break (DSB). The generation of DSB induces cells to activate nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology directed repair (Homologous directed repair, HDR) mechanisms, and finally realizes the...
