Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular to a protein salt purification vector construction method and application of the constructed vector in a kit. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are various existing plasmid construction technologies:
[0003] 1. Restriction enzyme cloning technology: using restriction enzymes to cut the vector and the insert fragment, and recombining by ligase. This technology is simple to operate and has low cost. However, it has many disadvantages: ① multi-step time-consuming: multiple rounds of enzyme cutting, ligation and gel purification are required, and the positive clone rate is low (<70%); ② fragment size limitation: it is difficult to insert large fragments (>5 kb); ③ site dependence: it depends on specific enzyme cutting sites, and has poor flexibility and other disadvantages.
[0004] 2. Gibson Assembly and In-Fusion cloning are based on homologous recombination or single-strand overlap extension, and do not require restriction enzyme cutting sites. The advantages are that they support seamless cloning and are suitable for multi-fragment assembly. However, they also have many disadvantages: ① PCR dependence: target genes need to be amplified, ② low fidelity (Taq enzyme error rate is about 2 x 10 -4 / base), mutation rate of large fragments (>3 kb) is as high as 15%, ③ high cost, commercial kit is expensive, limiting large-scale application.
[0005] 3. Golden Gate cloning uses IIs type restriction enzymes (such as BsaI, SapI) to cut and connect fragments, achieving seamless assembly. This method is efficient and can be modularly assembled. However, it has design complexity, requires precise design of enzyme cutting sites, limited compatibility and fragment number, and the efficiency decreases when assembling multiple fragments.
[0006] 4. Homologous recombination technology relies on homologous arms to guide the insertion of target genes into vectors. It is suitable for large fragments or complex insertions. However, it has low efficiency, and the traditional method has low recombination efficiency (<50%), and needs to optimize the length of the homologous arm, which has a complicated procedure and often needs to be combined with other technologies (such as Red / ET recombination system), increasing the complexity of operation. Therefore, although the existing plasmid construction technologies have their own advantages, there are still significant deficiencies in efficiency, accuracy, high-throughput compatibility and simplification of purification process. To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a protein salt purification vector construction method. SUMMARY

[0061] Examples
[0062] 1. Materials and methods:
[0063] DH5α competent cells, pet28a-icSAT, Rv0674 gene from Beijing Bomeide Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0064] 2. Main reagents:

[0068] 2.2 LB solid medium:
[0069] 5g / L yeast extract, 10g / L tryptone, 15g / L agar, 10g / L sodium chloride, and then adjust pH to 7.5.
[0070] 3. Design primers, primer annealing:
[0071] Based on the target gene Rv0674 gene design primer, upstream primer sequence (SEQ ID NO. 6): 5'-aacATGGCCCCTGCTATGACTGCGATTACAAGGATGATGATGATAAGGATTACAAGGATGATGATGATAAGGATTACAAGGATGATGATGATAAGGCTACACAACTCCTGGAGGTGACA-3', downstream primer sequence (SEQ ID NO. 7): 5'-ccgTGTCACCTCCAGGAGTTGTGTAGCCTTATCATCATCATCCTTGTAATCCTTATCATCATCATCCTTGTAATCGCAGTCATAGCAGGGGCCAT-3'.

[0073] 4. Construction of one-step ligation plasmid:
[0074] The reaction system is shown in Table 2.
[0075] Table 2 Reaction system
[0076] pET28a-icSAT 0.3 μL (151 ng / μL) Rv0674 gene 0.5 μL (1 μmol / L) T4 DNA ligase buffer 0.2 μL Endonuclease Sap I 0.1 μL Hi-T4 DNA ligase 0.1 μL ddH2O 0.8 μL Upstream and downstream primers 1 μL each Total volume 4 μL
[0077] The reaction procedure is: 37°C, 10 min, 16°C, 10 min; cycle three times.
[0078] 4.1 High-throughput transformation:
[0079] Transfer 96 portions of 2 μL of the mixture produced by each ligation into 96 portions of 50 μL of DH5α and mix gently. Incubate the mixture on ice for 30 min, and after heat shock at 42°C for 90 s, place the 1.5 mL centrifuge tube on ice for 5 min. Add 700 μL of LB liquid medium (dilution ratio of 15 times) to each of the 96 portions of the transformation solution, and after incubation in a 37°C incubator for 20 min, inoculate the DH5α into solid medium containing kanamycin in a 24-well plate and incubate in a 37°C incubator overnight.
[0080] 4.2 Observe the plates for the presence or absence of colonies the next day, and use blue-white spot screening results (see Figure 5 ) to pick single colonies or white spots, shake the bacteria, and send them to a sequencing company for identification. The results are shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 .
[0081] The steps of blue-white spot screening are as follows:
[0082] ① Medium preparation: prepare LB solid medium with a final concentration of 50 μg / mL of Amp antibiotic, 40 μg / mL of X-gal, and 0.1 mM of IPTG. Pour the prepared medium into sterile culture dishes while hot, and allow it to cool and solidify naturally.
[0083] ② Key operations in the transformation experiment: take the heat shock method as an example. First, carefully add the ligation product (i.e., the combination of the plasmid and the foreign DNA) to the competent cells, and then place them in an ice bath for 30 min to allow the cells to "contact" the foreign DNA fully; then, quickly transfer the sample to a 42°C environment for heat shock for 45 s to promote the uptake of the foreign DNA, and after heat shock, immediately return it to the ice bath for cooling for 5 min to stabilize the cell state; finally, add LB liquid medium and place it in a 37°C constant-temperature incubator for recovery for 45-60 min.
[0084] ③Coating culture: Use a pipette to take an appropriate amount of resuscitated bacterial solution and evenly coat it on the surface of the previously prepared culture medium containing Amp, X-gal and IPTG, ensuring uniform distribution of the bacterial solution. After coating is complete, wait for a period of time until the bacterial solution is completely absorbed by the culture medium, avoiding uneven distribution of colonies caused by liquid flow. Then place the plate upside down in a 37°C incubator and incubate for 12-16h.
[0085] ④Result observation: After a period of incubation, two distinct colonies will appear on the plate. Blue colonies indicate empty vectors, i.e. plasmids without inserted foreign DNA, and their internal β-galactosidase activity is intact, allowing normal decomposition of X-gal for color development; white colonies represent recombinant plasmids, as the insertion of foreign DNA disrupts lacZα, rendering β-galactosidase inactive and unable to catalyze the color development reaction, hence the white color of the colonies.
[0086] 4.3 Inserting the target gene:
[0087] According to the formula, calculate the amount of DNA required for the recombination reaction.
[0088] Optimal amount of cloning vector used (A in Table 3) = [0.02 x number of base pairs of cloning vector] ng (0.03 pmol);
[0089] Optimal amount of insert used (B in Table 3) = [0.04 x number of base pairs of insert] ng (0.06 pmol).
[0090] To ensure accuracy of pipetting, dilute the vector and insert appropriately before preparing the recombination reaction system. The amount of each component added should not be less than 1 μl. Prepare the following reaction system on ice:
[0091] Table 3 Reaction system
[0092] Components Recombination reaction Negative control-1 Negative control-2 Positive control Vector A μL A μL 0 μL 1 μL Gene of interest insert B μL 0 μL B μL 1 μL 2X Cloning reaction mix 5 μL 0 μL 0 μL 5 μL ddH2O to 10 μL to 10 μL to 10 μL to 10 μL
[0093] Gently pipette the mixture (do not vortex) and centrifuge briefly to collect the reaction solution at the bottom of the tube.
[0094] Thaw the chemically competent cells DH5α on ice.
[0095] Take 5-10 μL of the recombination product and add it to 100 μL of competent cells. Gently mix by flicking the tube wall (do not vortex) and incubate on ice for 30 min (the volume of the recombination product should not exceed 1 / 10 of the volume of the competent cells used).
[0096] After 45s of 42°C water bath heat shock, immediately cool on ice for 5 min.
[0097] Add 900 μL of SOC or LB liquid medium (without antibiotics) and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour (200 rpm).
[0098] Preheat LB solid medium plates with the corresponding resistance in an incubator at 37°C.
[0099] Centrifuge at 5,000 rpm (2,500 × g) for 5 min and discard 900 μL of supernatant. Resuspend the bacteria in the remaining culture medium and gently spread it evenly on a plate containing the correct antibiotic using a sterile spreader.
[0100] Incubate upside down in a 37℃ incubator for 12–16 hours.
[0101] 5. Identification of the target gene:
[0102] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 M stands for marker; 1-7 represent the markers from... Figure 5 Seven different white colonies were randomly selected from the sample. The genomes of the colonies were boiled for 5 minutes and used as templates. Electrophoretic bands of the PCR amplification were obtained by using the upstream primer (SEQ ID NO.8): 5'-GGCAGCGAGGACAACTTGAG-3' and the downstream primer (SEQ ID NO.9): 5'-cgcGAATTCGTGGTGGTGGTGGTGGTGTGTCACCTCCAGGAGT-3'. The target gene size was 603 bp.
[0103] 6. Plasmid transfer:
[0104] Using a plasmid extraction kit, plasmids were extracted and transformed into 96 50 μL portions of DE3.
[0105] 7. Protein purification:
[0106] 7.1 Bacterial Culture:
[0107] LB medium containing kanamycin was dispensed into 96-well plates, and DE3 was inoculated into the corresponding wells. The plates were incubated overnight at 37°C and 250 rpm. The following day, randomly selected bacterial cultures were analyzed for OD using a UV spectrophotometer. 600 And press OD. 600 =0.1 redissolved into a new 96-well plate containing 1.5 mL LB medium, incubated at 25°C for 4 days, then induced with IPTG (final concentration 1 mM / L) for 4 days. The bacteria were collected by centrifugation at 4000 rpm, the supernatant was discarded, and 200 mL of deionized water was added to each well for washing.
[0108] 7.2 Bacterial lysis:
[0109] The harvested cell pellet was resuspended in buffer B1 (CEPB1) (20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) and lysed with a bacterial lysis solution.
[0110] 7.3 Supernatant separation: The soluble fraction was separated from the cell lysate by centrifugation at 15,000 g for 20 min at 4 °C.
[0111] 7.4 The soluble fraction was mixed with an equal volume of buffer B2 (CEPB2) (20 mM Tris-HCl, 1.4 M Na2SO4 or 1.4 M (NH4)2SO4, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) solution or NaCl powder to a final concentration of 3 M. The resulting mixture was incubated at 4 °C for 1 h to induce the self-assembly of icSAT tags with target proteins to form insoluble polymers by increasing the salt concentration, thereby separating them from the soluble host cell proteins, followed by centrifugation at the same temperature for 20 min to separate the polymers.
[0112] 7.5 The supernatant was carefully removed, and the pellet was resuspended in buffer B3 (CEPB3) (20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.7 M Na2SO4 or 3 M NaCl or 0.7 M (NH4)2SO4, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) to maintain a high salt environment, ensuring the stability of the fusion protein polymers for subsequent operations. One sample was reserved for SDS-PAGE analysis.
[0113] 7.6 The sample was centrifuged again to form a pellet of insoluble fusion proteins, which was resuspended in buffer B4 (CEPB4) (20 mM Bis-Tris, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM KH2PO4, 0.7 M Na2SO4 or 3 M NaCl or 0.7 M (NH4)2SO4, 2.7 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, pH 6.2) to provide conditions suitable for intein-mediated cleavage reactions, and incubated at 25 °C for 24 h to allow the cleavage reaction to occur. Finally, the soluble fraction was collected by centrifugation.
[0114] 7.7 Protein purification detection:
[0115] SDS-PAGE analysis: To detect the molecular weight and concentration of the purified protein. The results are shown in Figure 7 From Figure 7 lanes 4-7: the bands are relatively single, and the molecular weight of the target protein is between 25-30 kDa, indicating that after a certain purification step, the target protein is enriched, and the protein purification is successful.
[0116] Therefore, the application adopts the above-mentioned protein salt purification vector construction method and application of the constructed vector in a kit, combines with the type IIS endonuclease and the homologous recombination technology, simultaneously completes the insertion of the target gene and the construction of the vector in a single reaction system, avoids the multiple enzyme digestion, connection and gel purification steps in the traditional method, realizes the non-PCR amplification, and significantly improves the construction efficiency of the vector.
