Embodiment 1

[0083] Embodiment 1 constructs fusion protein

[0084]The open reading frames (ORFs) of adenosine deaminase (TadA) and deoxyadenosine deaminase (TadA*) were synthesized with codon-optimized human origin, and their nucleotide sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO:1-2 respectively , and the encoded amino acid sequences are respectively shown in SEQ ID NO: 3-4. Synthesize cytidine deaminase LpCDA1L1-1(8) and cytidine deaminase APOBEC3A3-Y130F (A3A(Y130F)), the nucleotide sequences of which are shown in SEQ ID NO:5-6 respectively, and the encoded amino acid sequences are respectively As shown in SEQ ID NO:7-8.

[0085] In this experiment, spCas9 and SaCas9 were used, and specific mutations were introduced to obtain nspCas9 (Addgene #48137; NCBI ACCESSION QAB34447.1), nSaCas9 (Addgene #61593; NCBI ACCESSION J7RUA5). Restriction sites (Table 1) were introduced into nspCas9 through point mutations to fuse cytidine deaminase or deoxyadenosine deaminase to obtain fusion proteins for subse...

Embodiment 2

[0093] Example 2 Construction of sgRNA expression vector

[0094] A sgRNA expression vector was constructed to express UGI-2A-mCherry while expressing a specific sgRNA. UGI can inhibit the activity of uracil glycosylase and improve the efficiency of C-T mutation. The red fluorescent protein mCherry is used to indicate the expression of the vector and can be used for subsequent flow cytometry (see figure 1 ).

[0095] A variety of sgRNAs (see Table 3 for details) were selected to construct sgRNA expression vectors (see Table 4 for details) to analyze the frequency of mutation of cytosine to thymine in the prespacer sequence.

Embodiment 3

[0102] Example 3 Different ABE internal fusion single base editing vectors and sgRNA expression vectors were transfected into HEK293T cells to detect the frequency and characteristics of A-G mutations

[0103] The HEK293T cell line was planted on a 24-well plate and placed in a 37°C 5% carbon dioxide incubator for culture, and the transfection experiment was carried out 8-16 hours later. The expression vector (SEQ ID NO: 9) of the ABE internal fusion protein system and the expression vector of specific sgRNA were co-transfected with Lipofectamine 3000, cultured at 37°C for 72 hours in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator, and sorted by flow cytometry (flow cytometry) to enrich cells expressing both GFP and mCherry fluorescent proteins. After the genome is extracted, PCR primers for specific sgRNAs are used for fragment amplification, and sent to Sanger sequencing to analyze the A-G mutations in the pre-spacer sequence targeted by the sgRNA. For the editing efficiency of each fusion ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fusion protein for generating gene point mutation and an induction method of the gene point mutation. A new method for constructing the fusion protein is found, theobtained new fusion protein can realize effective C-T base mutation on cytosine at the 3rd-14th site of a front spacer sequence by fusing cytidine deaminase into different insertion sites in mutant nuclease represented by nCas9 / dCas9. In addition, different deoxyadenosine deaminases and variant combinations are fused into the different insertion sites in the mutant nuclease represented by the nCas9 / dCas9, and the obtained new fusion protein can achieve effective A-G base mutation on adenine at the 2nd-16th position of the front spacer sequence. Mutable ranges of the fusion protein based on thedifferent insertion sites obtained by the two methods are different. The induction method of the gene point mutation can realize C-T single-base substitution and A-G single-base substitution which are wider in range, finer and higher in safety, and can effectively broaden applications of a single-base editing tool.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gene editing in molecular biology, in particular to a fusion protein for generating point mutations in genes and a method for inducing point mutations in genes. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of genetic engineering technology, gene editing (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR) technology has become a research hotspot in the scientific community, and has been widely used in various in vivo and in vitro genome editing and the construction of transgenic model animals. and gene therapy. [0003] The CRISPR-Cas9 system currently widely used in genome editing belongs to the type II CRISPR-Cas system, and its mechanism of action can be divided into three steps: the first step is the recognition of foreign DNA by the Cas protein, and then the Cas protein will selectively A 30-50bp length of foreign DNA (called a protospacer) is cut out and inserted i...
