Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to an artificial non-coding RNA molecule, a DNA molecule and a biological material and application thereof in improving the carbon and nitrogen metabolic capacity of rhizobium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the global agricultural production system, nitrogen, as a core nutrient element indispensable for plant growth and development, directly determines the yield and quality of crops. The symbiotic nitrogen fixation system composed of leguminous plants and rhizobium is the highest biological system in terms of nitrogen fixation efficiency in nature, and its nitrogen fixation amount accounts for a large proportion of the total biological nitrogen fixation in the world, which has irreplaceable application value in agricultural production. In this symbiotic system, rhizobium can invade the root system of leguminous plants and form a special symbiotic organ, i.e. nodule, and convert the inert nitrogen in the air into ammonia nitrogen that can be directly absorbed and utilized by plants through its own nitrogenase system, thereby providing a stable nitrogen source for the host plant. At the same time, the rhizobium relies on the specific organic substances (such as sucrose and organic acids) released by the host leguminous plant roots through active secretion as a carbon source to meet the carbon skeleton and energy supply required for its growth, reproduction, energy metabolism and efficient operation of the nitrogenase system, and the two form a close symbiotic relationship.

[0003] However, in the actual agricultural ecosystem, the rhizosphere environment is a complex microecosystem composed of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and other microorganisms, with high microbial diversity and intense interspecific competition. This complex rhizosphere microenvironment can significantly interfere with the production and release of root exudates of leguminous plants: on the one hand, other microorganisms in the rhizosphere can form a competitive relationship with rhizobium, competing for organic carbon sources produced by photosynthesis, resulting in a decrease in the total amount of carbon source substances secreted by the root system to rhizobium, causing a shortage of carbon source supply; on the other hand, some rhizosphere microorganisms can also change the chemical composition and proportion of root exudates through metabolic activity, destroy the recognition and utilization preference of rhizobium for specific carbon sources, and greatly reduce the utilization rate of rhizobium for existing carbon sources. The above problems directly lead to a serious restriction on the colonization ability, reproduction efficiency and nitrogen fixation activity of rhizobium in the rhizosphere environment, thereby affecting the nitrogen fixation efficiency of the entire symbiotic nitrogen fixation system, which becomes a core bottleneck limiting the large-scale and efficient application of the system in agricultural production. Therefore, how to improve the recognition ability, absorption efficiency and metabolic utilization level of rhizobium for host root carbon sources through scientific means, and break through the carbon source limitation brought by the rhizosphere microenvironment, has become a key breakthrough for further improving the symbiotic nitrogen fixation capacity of leguminous plants and rhizobium, promoting the industrial application of biological nitrogen fixation technology, and an important research direction in the fields of agricultural microbiology and plant nutrition.

[0004] With the deepening of molecular biology and microbial genetics research, non-coding RNA (ncRNA) as a class of RNA molecules without protein coding but with important regulatory functions, its role in environmental adaptability regulation of prokaryotes has been gradually revealed. Studies have shown that ncRNA can directly interact with target mRNA molecules through base complementary pairing, regulating the expression of target genes at the post-transcriptional level: it can not only inhibit the translation process by binding to the ribosome binding site of mRNA, but also promote the translation efficiency by stabilizing the secondary structure of mRNA, thereby precisely regulating key physiological processes such as carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, quorum sensing and environmental stress response of microorganisms. In the symbiotic system of legume plants and rhizobium, ncRNA also plays an important role, it can not only regulate the expression of rhizobium carbon metabolism related genes (such as carbon source transporter genes, sugar metabolism enzyme genes, etc.), but also participate in the signal exchange process between rhizobium and host plants, affecting the formation and development of root nodules.

[0005] Based on the above research basis, synthetic biology as a new discipline combining molecular biology, engineering and information science, its core modular design concept provides a new way to solve the problem of rhizobium carbon metabolism regulation. This concept advocates that the complex physiological functions in living organisms can be disassembled into functional modules with specific functions, and through artificial design, modification and assembly of these functional modules, precise regulation and targeted modification of physiological processes of living organisms can be achieved. Therefore, by using the modular design concept of synthetic biology, artificial non-coding RNA functional modules that can specifically regulate the expression of carbon metabolism related genes are designed and constructed for the key nodes of the rhizobium carbon metabolism regulation network, which not only breaks through the limitations of low efficiency and poor specificity of natural ncRNA regulation, but also realizes precise regulation of carbon source absorption, transport and metabolism of rhizobium, thereby significantly improving the ability of rhizobium to utilize carbon source of host root in complex rhizosphere environment, providing core technical support for the creation of high-efficiency symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterial strain.

After further mutation of 3 bases, AbcR1 and... pckAmRNA no longer binds. It is shown that the artificial non-coding RNA functional module AbcR1 has a good binding trend with pckA mRNA.
