Problems solved by technology

[0003] Among the currently existing nucleic acid-protein binding methods, non-covalent binding has low affinity and is greatly affected by the environment
However, in the covalent binding technology, the modification process is likely to cause protein denaturation, and the cross-linking of protein and nucleic acid is random.

Embodiment 1

[0081] Embodiment 1 Fusion and expression of SPG and topoI protein

[0082] In this embodiment, SPG (Streptococcus Protein G) is used as the target protein, and it is fused and expressed with topoI topoisomerase.

[0083] (1) Cloning of fusion protein: the nucleotide sequences of SPG and topoI were artificially synthesized. The nucleic acid sequence of SPG is shown in SEQ ID NO.4, and the nucleic acid sequence of topoI is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0084] In this example, SPG and topoI topoisomerase are connected through a flexible linker peptide GGGGS to form a fusion protein, referred to as SPG-topoI, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the fusion protein SPG-topoI is shown in SEQ ID NO.5.

[0085] (2) Expression and purification of the fusion protein: the gene of the fusion protein SPG-topoI is cloned into the expression vector PET32a (the protein can be well expressed in various expression vectors and expression hosts, only the expression in Escherichia coli is described here...

[0087] (1) SEQ ID NO.6: CGTGTCGCCCTTATTCCCATAGTGACTACAGC is mixed with the target nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.7: GAATAAGGGCGACACG 1:1, and annealed to form a double strand. The annealing program is 80 degrees, 5 minutes; 55 degrees, 5 minutes ; 37 degrees for 3 minutes; obtain the double-strand recognition sequence;

[0088] (2) Mix the fusion protein SPG-topoI purified in Example 1 with the double-stranded phase obtained above, add magnesium ions with a final concentration of 1 mM, and react at 37°C for 30 minutes to obtain the protein-nucleic acid complex SPG-topoI - Nucleic acid.

[0089] (3) SDS-PAGE electrophoresis confirms that gained protein nucleic acid complex SPG-topoI-nucleic acid is confirmed, and its result is as follows figure 2 As shown, the channels from left to right in the figure represent respectively: 1 is the fusion protein control (control); 2 is the protei...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for connecting nucleic acid and protein or peptide, and relates to the technical field of biological crosslinking. The method for connecting the nucleic acid with the protein or peptide comprises the following steps: (1) forming a fusion protein from the target protein or peptide and DNA topoisomerase; and (2) catalyzing the DNA topoisomerase in the fusion protein to be covalently connected with target nucleic acid. By utilizing the property that the DNA topoisomerase can identify, shear and connect a specific target nucleic acid sequence, stable, efficient, fixed-point and directional covalent connection of the target nucleic acid and the target protein or peptide is realized, and the structure or performance of the protein and the nucleic acid is not influenced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological cross-linking, in particular to the site-specific covalent connection of nucleic acid and protein or peptide based on DNA topoisomerase catalysis, and protein-nucleic acid complexes. Background technique [0002] As the bearers of all life activities, proteins have various functions, such as transporters to transport goods, cell surface protein receptors to receive and transmit signals, proteases to catalyze a series of biochemical reactions, etc. Guided by the nucleic acid structure, nucleic acid-protein complexes with precise structures and diverse functions can be constructed. At present, the linking methods of nucleic acid and protein are divided into non-covalent binding and covalent binding according to the linking form. Existing non-covalent binding methods mainly include: the effect of avidin (or streptavidin) and biotin, by modifying biotin (or fusion avidin) on the protein and coupli...
