Unless otherwise specified, the materials, reagents, and instruments used in the following examples are commercially available. All quantitative experiments in the following examples were performed in triplicate, and the results were averaged. Unless otherwise specified, in the following examples, the first position of each nucleotide sequence in the sequence listing is the 5′ terminal nucleotide of the corresponding DNA / RNA, and the last position is the 3′ terminal nucleotide of the corresponding DNA / RNA.

[0042] Example 1: 3'UTR-4 can increase the protein expression levels of Fluc and GFP.
[0043] In this embodiment, five naturally occurring 3'UTR sequences (denoted as 3'UTR-1, 3'UTR-2, 3'UTR-3, 3'UTR-4, and 3'UTR-5, respectively) were selected using bioinformatics methods, and 3'UTR sequences favorable for upstream target protein expression were screened experimentally. To this end, the inventors constructed the five 3'UTR sequences downstream of a plasmid capable of simultaneously expressing Fluor and GFP. Fluor and GFP were linked into an open reading frame via a self-cleaving polypeptide T2A. The expressed fusion protein Fluor-T2A-GFP was cleaved into two independent proteins, Fluor and GFP, by protease digestion. The optimal 3'UTR sequence was obtained by comparing the chemiluminescence level catalyzed by luciferase and the green fluorescence intensity of GFP. In addition, a positive control 3'UTR (BNT162b2 (Fubitai) 3'UTR), hereinafter referred to as 3'UTR-BNT, was also included, with its DNA sequence located at positions 2935-3229 of SEQ ID NO. 11 in the sequence listing.
