Embodiment 1

[0082] Example 1 Establishment of Mutation and Screening System Integration and Feasibility Exploration

[0083] 1. Plasmid construction of mutation screening system integration (using GCN4 / GCN4 3mut as an example to explore the feasibility)

[0084] 1.1 GCN4 3mut Identification of mutation sites. The literature shows that GCN4 is a yeast transcription factor, and GCN4-"Leucine-Zipper" can form a dimer. We selected this region for verification experiments, and it is still referred to as GCN4 below. Previous studies have found that mutations at L12E, N16A, and L19A of GCN4 can greatly reduce the formation of GCN4 homodimer, such as Figure 4 shown. After rational design, it was determined that the GCN4 wild type ( Figure 4 , Figure 5 GCN4 in WT ) and mutant ( Figure 4 , Figure 5 GCN4 in 3mut ) protein sequence is as follows.

[0085] GCN4 wild type: LEDKVEELLSKNYHLENEVARLKKLVGER (formerly SEQ ID NO: UniProtKB-P03069, SEQ ID NO.5)

[0119] 1.1 Thya is constructed into the mutant plasmid. According to the principle of plasmid construction in Example 1, the upstream and downstream primers F1-thya and R1-thya were designed, and the gene sequence expressing thyA was inserted into the NdeI restriction site of the mutant plasmid pEP and the control plasmid pWT described in the above Example 1 , namely pEP-thya and pWT-thya plasmids.

[0137] Design upstream and downstream primers according to the principle of homologous recombinase construction plasmid, and PCR obtains the target fragments SEQ-AGR2 (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.21) and SEQ-18A4Hu scFv (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.22), insert the target fragment into the backbone plasmid pEP-mcs-(GGGGS)2-F1,2-Flag and pLA230-mcs-(GGGGS)2 constructed in Example 2 respectively - In F3-6xHis, the restriction sites are BamHI / NotI and MfeI / NcoI, respectively, to obtain plasmids pEP-AGR2-(GGGGS)2-F1,2-Flag (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.23) and pLA230- 18A4Hu scFv -(GGGGS)2-F3-6xHis (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 24). Then plasmid pEP-AGR2-(GGGGS)2-F1,2-Flag and pLA230-18A4Hu scFv - (GGGGS)2-F3-6xHis was constructed into the JS200-ΔthyaΔfola strain obtained in Example 1 to obtain an engineering strain of Escherichia coli containing these ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of continuous directed evolution, in particular to a genetic engineering strain, preparation thereof and a continuous directed evolution method for antibody affinity maturation based on the strain. The bacterial strain is obtained by constructing a mutant plasmid and a screening target plasmid into a modified bacterial strain JS200-delta thya delta fola; the mutant plasmid comprises pEP-mcs-(GGGGS) < 2 >-F1, 2-Flag, and the screening target plasmid comprises pLA230-mcs-(GGGGS)2-F3-6xHis. The antigen and the antibody are respectively fused with two functional complementary fragments F1,2 and F3 of mDHFR (murine DHFR), so that Ag-F1, 2 and Ab-F3 are formed. Through stepwise increasing trimethoprim (TMP) resistance screening, the method can be realized in a solid / liquid space, an antibody monoclonal strain with improved affinity is obtained through solid / liquid culture, the operation is simple, and the flux is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of directed evolution, in particular to a genetically engineered strain, its preparation and a directed evolution method for antibody affinity maturation based on the strain. Background technique [0002] Antibody affinity maturation is a process of improving antibody affinity, activity, and antigen binding ability. Antibody affinity maturation in the natural process is achieved by repeated antigen stimulation and selection of B cell immunoglobulin genes under the conditions of VDJ rearrangement and somatic cell overfrequency mutation. However, high-affinity antibodies have great application value in dealing with the first infection and post-infection treatment. In 2005, Song et al. reported antibody-mediated targeted gene therapy in vivo for the first time. Antibody fragments were mixed with siRNA (c-myc, MDM2, VEGF) to form complexes, targeting cells in vivo containing corresponding antigens, and effectiv...
