Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, there are still many problems in the application of CRISPR / Cas9 technology, such as low genome editing efficiency, off-target, PAM dependence, etc.; and for multikaryotic organisms such as Aspergillus oryzae, ergot, etc., they need to be subcultured after genetic manipulation. Homozygous transformants can only be obtained by screening, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task

Embodiment 1

[0068] Example 1, sgRNA in vitro transcription and purification

[0069] For the target gene, design the sgRNA recognition site, and synthesize the following primers for forming sgRNA: sgRNA-F: TAATACGACTCACTATA-sgRNA site-GTTTTAGGCTAGAAAT AGCAA.

[0070] The sgRNA-F sequence designed for Trichoderma reesei RutC30 orotate phosphoribosyltransferase ura5 (SEQ ID NO: 1) is:

[0071] sgRNA-Trura5-F: TAATACGACTCACTATA GGCGAGGGCGGCAACATCGT GTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAGCAA (SEQ ID NO:5).

[0072] The sgRNA-F sequence designed for ura5 (SEQ ID NO:2) of Cordyceps militaris Cm01 is:

[0073] sgRNA-Cmura5-F: TAATACGACTCACTATA GGACCGGATGGAGAAGCTTC GTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAGCAA (SEQ ID NO: 6).

[0074] The sgRNA-F sequence designed for the polyketide synthase wA of Aspergillus oryzae NSAR1 is:

[0075] sgRNA-wA-F: TAATACGACTCACTATA GGGAAGATCTTCCGTTCAGA GTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAGCAA (SEQ ID NO: 7).

[0076] These sgRNA-F primers were PCR amplified with sgRNA-R primers respectively, and the sgRNA template...

Embodiment 2

[0080] Example 2, sgRNA-Cas9 complex assembled in vitro

[0081] The purified sgRNA and commercialized Cas9 (novoprotein E365-01A) were added to the reaction buffer at a ratio of 70:1 (mole), and the reaction buffer was 2× protoplast solution 2 (2M sorbitol, 100mM CaCl 2 , 2MTris-HCl, pH 7.5) and 10×active buffer (200mM HEPES free acid, 1.5M KCl, 5mM DTT, 1mM EDTA, 100mM MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O, pH 7.5), mix well and incubate at 37°C for 15min.

[0082] sgRNA-Cas9 assembly method of Trichoderma reesei ura5 gene: Add the purified sgRNA-Trura5 and Cas9 into the reaction system at a ratio of 70:1, and incubate at 37°C for 15 minutes. And by controlling the addition of sgRNA and Cas9, 20nM, 60nM, 100nM, 180nM sgRNA-Cas9 complexes were prepared respectively.

[0083] The sgRNA-Cas9 assembly method of the Cordyceps militaris ura5 gene: add the purified sgRNA-Cmura5 and Cas9 at a ratio of 70:1 (6ug for Cas9) into the reaction system, and incubate at 37°C for 15min.

Embodiment 3

[0085] Example 3, adding TritonX-100 to improve the efficiency of transformation and gene editing

[0086] Using Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 as the chassis cell, the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase ura5 gene (SEQ ID NO: 1; the 355th to 374th position is the sgRNA target sequence) was mutated by double in vitro CRISPR / Cas9 technology. The sgRNA-Cas9 complex (the sgRNA template is formed by PCR amplification of sgRNA-Trura5-F and sgRNA-R) was transformed, and the method of increasing the number of transformants obtained by gene transformation and improving the efficiency of gene editing was studied.

[0087] The preparation of protoplasts was modified according to the literature (Rantasalo, A. et al. A universal gene expression system for fungi. Nucleic Acids Res, 2018 46, e111), and the hyphae of protoplasts were prepared by culturing in cellophane-lined PDA at 28°C for 15 hours To obtain, the concentration of lyase (sigma) was 5 mg / ml.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving protoplast conversion efficiency or gene editing efficiency of fungi and a kit. The method comprises the following steps: adding TritonX-100 or an analogue thereof, a bacteriostatic agent for inhibiting mitosis, or inositol or an analogue thereof in or before a protoplast transformation process taking gene editing as a target; more preferably, by adjusting the concentration of the sgRNA-Cas enzyme, the protoplast conversion efficiency and gene editing efficiency of fungi are effectively improved, the time for obtaining transformants or gene editing products is greatly saved, and the obtaining amount is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology; more specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a kit for improving the efficiency of protoplast transformation or gene editing of fungi, in particular to a method for improving the efficiency of genome editing of fungi using compound molecules and its production in silk application in fungi. Background technique [0002] Genome editing technology is a biotechnology commonly used in current life science research. Using this technology, scientists can perform targeted knockout and insertion of target genes, and it is an important tool for functional genome research. After years of development, there are currently three genome editing technologies: zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and CRISPR / Cas9. The principles of the above three genome editing technologies are the same, that is, nucleases are used to break the DNA double...
