The present invention provides an expression cassette, which sequentially includes: the rop gene, the replicon ori, and the resistance gene; the rop gene, the replicon ori, and the resistance gene are connected by a linking fragment. The present invention has established a low-copy pmRVacSL and a medium-copy pmRVacM plasmid vector system through artificial modification.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of in vitro transcription, and particularly to a plasmid backbone capable of improving the stability of polyadenylate tails. Background Art

[0002] mRNA vaccines inject synthetic mRNA sequences encoding protein antigens into the human body, guiding the body to express the corresponding proteins and inducing the body to trigger specific immune responses to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. Compared with traditional vaccines, they have multiple advantages such as strong immunogenicity, high safety, and easy research and production.

[0003] The polyA tail is an important feature of eukaryotic mRNA, consisting of multiple adenosine acids and located at the 3' end of mRNA. It plays an important role in basic expression regulation, especially in translation and controlling mRNA stability. The polyA tail can prevent the degradation of the mRNA 3' end by exonucleases and increase the stability of mRNA. In addition, during translation, the polyA tail can act as a "translation enhancer". Research shows that removing the polyA site can reduce the mRNA expression level by up to 10 times.

[0004] Currently, when synthesizing mRNA by IVT, there are mainly the following three methods for adding polyA tails: one is enzymatic synthesis, adding polyA polymerase derived from Escherichia coli after mRNA transcription is completed; the second is co-transcription, directly transcribing from the polyA sequence already present on the template plasmid DNA or PCR product; the third is using phi29 DNA polymerase to amplify the plasmid by in vitro rolling circle amplification (RCA) technology. Among them, co-transcriptional tailing can maintain the homogeneity of the final product, reduce process steps, and save costs, becoming a more preferred method. Some scientists have also found a new way and selected a segmented polyA co-transcription method, which can reduce the deletion of polyA.

[0005] The preparation of mRNA plasmid DNA templates usually chooses bacterial fermentation to scale up the production of plasmids. However, during the bacterial amplification process, the polyA tails of plasmids carrying long polyhomonucleotide sequences may shorten as the bacteria continue to amplify, and when the polyA sequence on the plasmid is greater than 100 bp, it is more likely to be unstable during cultivation and then undergo base loss and shortening problems, causing great difficulties in production. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a plasmid backbone that can improve the stability of polyadenylate tails. The present invention has established a low-copy pmRVacSL and a medium-copy pmRVacM plasmid vector system through artificial modification. Since pmRVacSL is a low-copy vector, the yield of plasmid DNA is relatively low. The pmRVacM plasmid backbone solves the problem of low plasmid DNA yield of pmRVacSL. This vector system can not only maintain the stable replication of polyA tail sequences over 150 bp, but also quickly add genes of interest and polyadenylate (polyA) sequences, and efficiently obtain the DNA template for in vitro transcription of the target mRNA.

[0108] Three vector backbones, namely pmRVac, pmRVaSL, and pmRVacM, were obtained by artificial modification in the present invention. pmRVac is a high-copy vector, and the replication origin of the plasmid backbone vector is pUC ori; pmRVacSL is a low-copy plasmid vector, and pmRVacM is a medium-copy plasmid vector. The replication origins of the plasmid backbone vectors of pmRVacSL and pmRVacM are both pBR322 ori. Among them, pmRVacM was obtained by base mutation and removal from the pmRVacSL backbone vector, which can significantly improve the yield of plasmid DNA.

[0109] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0110] Example 1 Construction of pmRVac Vectors Containing Different Lengths of polyA Tails

[0111] (1) The pmRVac-EGFP plasmid was obtained by modifying the pUC57 high-copy vector.

[0112] (2) The pmRVac-EGFP plasmid was digested with restriction enzymes BsrGI and NotI, and the purified linearized pmRVac backbone containing the EGFP target gene was obtained by a gel recovery kit.

[0113] (3) Synthesize plasmids containing polyA tails of different lengths, digest the plasmids containing pure polyA tail fragments of different lengths with restriction enzymes BsrGI and NotI, and obtain purified fragments containing polyA tails of different lengths through a gel extraction kit.

[0114] (4) Use T4 ligase to ligate the purified linearized pmRVac backbone containing the EGFP target gene and the purified fragments containing polyA tails of different lengths to obtain a reaction system of pmRVac vectors containing the target gene EGFP with polyA tails of different lengths.

[0115] (5) Transfer the T4 ligase reaction system into VB UltraStable competent cells by chemical transformation. Transformation steps: Thaw the competent cells on ice for 30 min, add the T4 ligase reaction system to the competent cells, incubate on ice for 30 min, perform a hot water bath at 42 °C for 1 min, incubate on ice for 2 min, add LB medium and shake culture at 37 °C for 1 h. Then, take an appropriate amount of the bacterial solution and spread it on an LB solid plate containing kanamycin, and incubate it upside down at 37 °C for 16 h.

[0116] (6) Randomly pick several single colonies on the plate into a small amount of sterile water. Using this bacterial solution as a template, design specific forward and reverse primers and PCR enzymes for bacterial solution PCR reaction. Verify the bacterial solution PCR results by gel electrophoresis. Inoculate the clones with bacterial solution PCR results that meet the expectations into an LB liquid medium containing kanamycin and shake culture at 37 °C for 16 h. Take a part of the cultured bacterial solution and store it in glycerol, and extract the plasmid from the remaining bacterial solution using a plasmid extraction kit. Thus, pmRVac plasmids containing polyA tails of different lengths are obtained.

[0117] (7) Digest the plasmid with restriction enzyme BtgI to digest the DNA sequences at both ends of the polyA tails containing 60A, 80A, 100A, 120A, and 150A, and obtain fragments containing polyA tails with lengths of 111 bp, 131 bp, 151 bp, 171 bp, and 201 bp respectively.

[0118] (8) Identify the stability of the polyA tail through TBE-PAGE gel. It can be observed that when the pmRVac vector backbone carries a polyA tail of more than 100 bp, the phenomenon of recombination and replication instability appears (such as Figure 1 ). The pmRVac plasmid backbone map is as shown in Figure 6 .

[0119] Example 2 Construction of pmRVacSL Vectors Containing PolyA Tails of Different Lengths

[0120] (1) Using the pBR322 low-copy plasmid as the DNA template, specific forward and reverse primers and PCR enzymes were designed for PCR amplification. A purified linearized backbone with pBR322 Rop and pBR322 Ori was obtained through a gel extraction kit.

[0121] (2) The pmRVac plasmid in Example 1 was digested with the restriction enzymes DraI and NotI, and a purified DNA fragment containing Kanamycin resistance and the target gene EGFP was obtained through a gel extraction kit.

[0122] (3) The purified linearized backbone with pBR322 Rop and pBR322 Ori and the DNA fragment containing Kanamycin resistance and the target gene EGFP were ligated through Gibson reaction to obtain a reaction system for an in vitro transcription vector containing the target gene EGFP.

[0123] (4) Referring to steps (5) and (6) of Example 1, the pmRVacSL plasmid was obtained.

[0124] (5) Referring to steps (2) to (6) of Example 1, pmRVacSL plasmids with different lengths of polyA tails were obtained.

[0125] (6) The pmRVacSL plasmid was digested with the restriction enzyme BtgI, and the DNA sequences at both ends of the polyA tails containing 65A, 80A, 100A, 120A, and 150A were digested, respectively obtaining polyA tail-containing fragments with lengths of 116bp, 131bp, 151bp, 171bp, and 201bp.

[0126] (7) The stability of the polyA tails was identified by TBE-PAGE gel. It was observed that when the pmRVacSL vector backbone carried a polyA tail up to 150bp, it still maintained stable replication during bacterial amplification and did not undergo recombination (such as Figure 2 ). The pmRVacSL plasmid backbone map is as shown in Figure 7 .

[0127] Example 3 Construction of the pmRVacM Vector System

[0128] (1) The pmRVacM vector system was derived from the pmRVacSL vector system through base mutation and removal.

[0129] (2) It was found that the increase in the copy number of pUC was due to a point mutation in RNA II, which was inhibited by the Rom / Rop protein or by reducing the growth temperature to 30 °C. Therefore, a G to A mutation was introduced into the 112-nucleotide fragment of the RNA II transcript, which is adjacent to the complementary region of RNA I (-1 position on the RNA I transcript), to obtain the pmRVacM(G to A) plasmid vector. The pmRVacM(G to A) plasmid backbone is as Figure 8 shown.

[0130] (3) Since the Rop gene encoding the Rop protein can promote the conversion of the unstable RNA I-RNA II complex into a stable complex and is used to reduce the copy number (source - plasmid pMB1). Therefore, the start codon GTG was removed to prevent the expression of the Rop protein while retaining its DNA sequence, resulting in the pmRVacM(remove GTG) plasmid vector. The pmRVacM(remove GTG) plasmid backbone is as Figure 9 shown.

[0131] (4) By mutating the start codon GTG to TAA to prevent the expression of the Rop protein while retaining its DNA sequence, the pmRVacM(GTG to TAA) plasmid vector was obtained. The pmRVacM(GTG to TAA) plasmid backbone is as Figure 10 shown.

[0132] (5) By removing the ribosome binding site GGAGG of the Rop gene to prevent the expression of the Rop protein while retaining its DNA sequence, the pmRVacM(remove GGAGG) plasmid vector was obtained. The pmRVacM(remove GGAGG) plasmid backbone is as Figure 11 shown.

[0133] (6) The yields of the pmRVacSL plasmid with 120A and 150A tails containing the target gene EGFP were compared with those of the pmRVacM(G to A), pmRVacM(remove GTG), pmRVacM(GTG to TAA), and pmRVacM(remove GGAGG) plasmids with 120A and 150A containing the target gene EGFP.

[0134] (7) The plasmid DNA yield was obtained by inoculating 10 μL of monoclonal bacterial solution into 2 mL of LB medium, culturing it in a 15 mL shaking tube at 37 °C and 250 rpm in a shaker for 15 h, and then extracting it using a plasmid miniprep kit and measuring the concentration.

[0135] (8) It was found that mutating the start codon GTG of the Rop gene in the pmRVacSL plasmid backbone to TAA resulted in the most significant increase in plasmid DNA yield, with a 1.5-fold increase per mL of bacterial solution and a significant difference (as Figure 3 ).

[0136] (9) After the plasmid in step (6) was digested with the restriction endonuclease BtgI, TBE-PAGE was used for identification. The polyA tails of 120A and 150A of pmRVacSL and the four mutant pmRVacMs could still maintain stable replication (as Figure 4 ).

[0137] Example 4 Correct ratio of polyA tails of pmRVacSL plasmid

[0138] (1) The pmRVacSL plasmid was digested with the restriction endonucleases NcoI and SapI, and the purified linearized pmRVacSL backbone was obtained through a gel recovery kit.

[0139] (2) Plasmids containing polyA tails of different lengths were synthesized by gene synthesis. The plasmids containing pure polyA tail fragments of different lengths were digested with the restriction endonucleases NcoI and SapI, and the purified DNA fragments containing polyA tails of different lengths were obtained through a gel recovery kit.

[0140] (3) The purified linearized pmRVacSL backbone and the purified DNA fragments containing polyA tails of different lengths were ligated through a T4 ligase reaction to obtain a reaction system for in vitro transcription vectors containing polyA tails of different lengths.

[0141] (4) Referring to steps (5) and (6) of Example 1, pmRVacSL plasmids containing polyA tails of different lengths can be obtained.

[0142] (5) The correct ratio of the pmRVacSL plasmid DNA polyA tail was verified through TBE-PAGE gel and Sanger sequencing (as Figure 5 ).

[0143] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
