TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a homologous recombination expression vector for expressing a Pt5-1c active peptide in Dunaliella salina. BACKGROUND
[0002] Dunaliella salina is a representative eukaryotic microalgae, and its unique biological characteristics make it have great application potential in the field of biological genetic engineering. It can survive in an extreme environment with a salt concentration as high as saturation. This outstanding salt tolerance not only makes it less susceptible to contamination by foreign bacteria during cultivation, reducing the risk of interference with the cultivation system, but also reduces the strict requirements for the cultivation environment. At the same time, the cultivation of Dunaliella salina does not require complex equipment and expensive nutrients, and the cultivation cost is relatively low. It can achieve rapid proliferation in an open or closed large-scale cultivation system, and has a natural advantage in large-scale cultivation. These characteristics make it an ideal expression host for producing exogenous proteins, active peptides and other bioactive substances, and it has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine and health care products.
[0003] However, in the application of Dunaliella salina for expressing active peptides such as Pt5-1c, the existing transgenic system has insurmountable shortcomings. Active peptides usually have the characteristics of small molecular weight and high biological activity, but their accumulation in cells not only may have toxic effects on host cells, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent separation and extraction. The current system lacks an effective mechanism to guide the secretion of active peptides to the extracellular, resulting in a large amount of active peptides remaining in the cells. To obtain these intracellular active peptides, cell disruption and other methods are often required, which not only releases a large amount of impurities such as nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides and other impurities in the cells, but also may damage the structure of active peptides and affect their biological activity.
[0004] At the same time, the existing system also lacks convenient separation and purification means. Because the physicochemical properties of active peptides and other impurities in the cells are similar, traditional separation and purification methods such as chromatography and electrophoresis are not only tedious and time-consuming, but also require a large amount of reagents and consumables, resulting in low purification efficiency and high cost of active peptides. This series of problems makes the collection of active peptides extremely difficult, which seriously restricts the application of Dunaliella salina in the large-scale production of active peptides.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a Dunaliella salina transgenic system that can stably express exogenous genes, efficiently guide the secretion of active peptides, conveniently separate and purify active peptides, and screen high-efficiency Dunaliella salina, for promoting the development of Dunaliella salina in the field of bioactive substance production. SUMMARY
[0006] The application aims to provide a homologous recombination expression vector for expressing Pt5-1c active peptide in Dunaliella salina, and the expression vector can efficiently express exogenous genes in Dunaliella salina, thereby providing technical support for large-scale recombinant expression of active peptides and other bioactive substances in Dunaliella salina.

[0025] Based on the above product, pcambia2200 was used as a starting vector to construct a vector that can be expressed in Dunaliella salina by homologous recombination.
[0026] pcambia2200 was digested by NcoI and PspXI, then connected by ABclonal 2x MultiF Seamless Assembly Mix, the total amount of linearized vector and each insert in the recombination reaction was 0.03 pmol, the molar ratio of the vector and the insert of GFP-HA (SEQ ID NO: 15), CmR-HA (SEQ ID NO: 16), NOS-HA (SEQ ID NO: 17) was 1:1, the molar ratio of the vector and the insert of P2A-HA (SEQ ID NO: 2) was 1:5, which constituted the expression system of D. salina, named 2200-GFP-CmR (SEQ ID NO: 6) (see the structure of the vector in Figure 1 ).
[0027] 2. Transformation of D. salina Centrifugal collection of 40 mL D. salina algae liquid, 1700 x g, 3 min. Washed with 2 mL 2x HEPES shock buffer for three times. In a 1.5 mL EP tube, after adding the following substances, place on ice for 20 min: ① 400 μl of algae liquid (adjust the concentration of algae cells to 10 6 / mL by adding shock buffer), ② final concentration of 10 μg / mL plasmid DNA, ③ salmon sperm DNA 20 μl.
[0028] 400 μL of algae suspension was divided into an electric shock cup, and the Eppendorf Eporator electroporator was used to perform electric shock transformation under the conditions of setting voltage 1500 V, actual working voltage 100 V, and pulse duration 654 ms.
[0029] After the algae liquid was shocked, it was placed in ice for 5 min, then centrifuged at 1700 x g for 3 min, 1 mL of medium was added to the centrifuge tube and cultured in the dark for 24 h, then transferred to 20 mL of medium (50 mL conical flask) for culture.
[0030] 3. Screening and identification of transformed D. salina The recovered D. salina cells were transferred to a selective medium to kill the untransformed cells. The selective medium was D. salina liquid medium containing 400 μg / mL chloramphenicol. After 5 days, the culture was centrifuged at 1700 x g for 3 min, and the supernatant was discarded. The collected algae were spread on solid culture plates containing 300 μg / mL chloramphenicol, and the resistant algae cells were allowed to grow and form resistant single algae colonies. After about 15 days of culture, single algae colonies were formed on the plates. The single algae colonies were picked and streaked on solid culture plates containing 300 μg / mL chloramphenicol to further purify and enhance the resistance of the resistant algae. After 20 days, the single algae colonies were picked and cultured in liquid medium for about 20 days, centrifuged at 1700 x g for 3 min, and the algae were collected, each with a wet weight of > 100 mg, and then frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage.
[0031] The total genomic DNA of the transgenic D. salina was extracted for molecular identification. First, PCR was used to identify the integration of the plasmid. The upstream primer used in the PCR was GFP-for (SEQ ID NO: 7), and the downstream primer was GFP-rev (SEQ ID NO: 8), and the product was the GFP gene. The reaction program was as described above. If the transformation is successful, this fragment can be amplified in the genome of the resistant D. salina, and there is no such fragment in the untransformed D. salina.
[0032] Then, primers were designed and synthesized upstream of the 5' end of the RB T-DNA repeat and downstream of the 3' end of the LB T-DNA repeat, and the primer sequences were as follows: con-F for: 5'-GTTTACCCGCCAATATATCCTGTCA-3' con-F rev: 5'-GTTTACACCACAATATATCCTGCCA-3' The pair of primers con-F for and con-F rev amplified a fragment of about 3330 bp in length in the homogenized transgenic D. salina genomic DNA, which included the homologous arms and the entire gene expression cassette. The total genomic DNA of the positive transgenic algae was used as a template for PCR amplification with primers con-F for and con-F rev.
[0033] The PCR reaction program was: 98°C for 3 min for pre-denaturation; 98°C for 15 sec, 60°C for 15 sec, 68°C for 2 min for 30 cycles; and 68°C for 7 min for extension.
[0034] The PCR product was electrophoresed and a band of 3330 bp was observed. Sequencing showed that the sequence was consistent with the vector sequence, indicating that the foreign gene had been inserted into the genome of D. salina and a high expression of GFP was obtained after induction.
[0035] Example 2: Construction of a homologous recombination expression vector of D. salina Pt5-1c
[0036] This example allows the preparation of a construction assembly for recombinantly expressing the active peptide of the foreign gene Pt5-1c, which has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 18; wherein the synthesized Pt5-1C fragment with a homologous arm, i.e. Pt5-1C-HA, has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 23; the specific steps are as follows: 1. Construction of a Pt5-1c expression vector The following primers were designed and synthesized: Pt5-1C-for: 5'-TGTCGATCGACCATGGGCGCCATGCACTCGA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 21) Pt5-1C-rev: 5'-TTGGTGGCGAATTCTCACTTGGTCGCCGAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 22) The commercial vector VB240716-1297azp was used as a template and subjected to PCR amplification with the primers Pt5-1C-for (SEQ ID NO: 21) and Pt5-1C-rev (SEQ ID NO: 22), and the reaction program was as follows: 98°C for 3 min for pre-denaturation; 98°C for 15 sec, 60°C for 15 sec, 68°C for 20 sec, for a total of 30 cycles; 68°C for 7 min for extension. The PCR amplification product was about 189 bp, which was a fragment containing FSRS (ferric oxidase signal recognition sequence, which can secrete pt5-1c to the extracellular), enterokinase cleavage site and antibacterial peptide Pt5-1C, and was named Pt5-1C-HA (SEQ ID NO: 23). The fragment was purified by agarose gel electrophoresis and gel recovery (Novizen kit) for standby use.
[0037] Based on the above product, pcambia2200 was used as the starting vector to construct a D. salina vector by homologous recombination method.
[0038] The pcambia2200 was digested by NcoI and PspXI, and then connected by homologous recombination using ABclonal 2x MultiF Seamless Assembly Mix. The total amount of linearized vector and each insert in the recombination reaction was 0.03 pmol, the molar ratio of the vector and the insert of CmR-HA (SEQ ID NO: 16) and NOS-HA (SEQ ID NO: 17) was 1:1, and the molar ratio of the vector and the insert of Pt5-1C-HA (SEQ ID NO: 23) and P2A-HA (SEQ ID NO: 2) was 1:5, to form a Dunaliella salina expression system, named 2200-Pt5-1C-CmR (SEQ ID NO: 18) (see the vector structure in Figure 2 ).
[0039] The transformation and screening process of Dunaliella salina was consistent with the above.
[0040] The total genomic DNA of the transgenic Dunaliella salina was extracted for molecular identification. First, the integration of the plasmid was identified by PCR. The upstream primer used in PCR was Pt5-1C-for (SEQ ID NO: 21), and the downstream primer was Pt5-1C-rev (SEQ ID NO: 22). The product was the FSRS, enterokinase cleavage site and the fragment of the antibacterial peptide Pt5-1C, and the reaction program was as described above. If successful transformation, this fragment can be amplified in the genome of the resistant Dunaliella salina, and there is no such fragment in the untransformed Dunaliella salina.
[0041] Then the primers were designed and synthesized upstream of the RB T-DNA repeat 5' end and downstream of the LB T-DNA repeat 3' end, and the primer sequences were as follows: con-F for: 5'-GTTTACCCGCCAATATATCCTGTCA-3' con-F rev: 5'-GTTTACACCACAATATATCCTGCCA-3' The pair of primers con-F for and con-F rev amplified the fragment of the homologous arm and the entire gene expression frame in the homogenized transgenic Dunaliella salina genomic DNA, with a length of about 2802 bp. The whole genomic DNA of the positive transgenic algae was used as a template for PCR amplification with primers con-F for and con-F rev.
[0042] PCR reaction procedure: 98℃ 3 min pre-denaturation; 98℃ 15 sec, 60℃ 15 sec, 68℃ 2 min, 30 cycles; 68℃ 7 min extension.
[0043] After electrophoresis, the PCR product showed a band of 2802 bp in size; after sequencing, the sequence was consistent with the vector sequence, It is indicated that the foreign gene Pt5-1C has been inserted into the genome of Dunaliella salina.
[0044] The recombinant expression results show that the recombinant expression vector constructed in this embodiment can efficiently express Pt5-1c polypeptide in Dunaliella salina.
