Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, and particularly to a vector for inhibiting geminivirus infection based on the CRISPR LbCas12a system, a construction method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Geminiviruses are a class of single-stranded circular DNA viruses widely existing worldwide, which can infect economic and food crops including tobacco, tomato, cotton, corn, wheat, soybean, cassava, etc., seriously affecting the yield and quality of crops and causing huge economic losses globally. When plants are infected with geminiviruses, especially when solanaceous plants are infected with TYLCCNV / TYLCCNB, they will show severe symptoms including plant dwarfing, leaf wrinkling, yellowing, stem bending, etc., resulting in huge yield losses. Currently, the prevention of geminiviruses in the field mainly focuses on prevention, and the occurrence of virus diseases is reduced by strengthening management and controlling the transmission routes. However, in the past few decades, the economic losses caused by geminiviruses have reached tens of billions of US dollars. Therefore, developing highly efficient antiviral varieties is crucial for preventing the occurrence of diseases.

[0003] LbCas12a is a type II-V CRISPR nuclease, a class of endonucleases mediated by a single crRNA. Different from the Cas9 protein, LbCas12a can specifically recognize and cleave sites rich in thymine (T) PAM, and cause larger fragment deletions of the genomic sequences near the target by generating sticky ends, indicating that it is difficult for the cut virus to recombine and achieve effective infection.

[0004] At present, the prevention and control measures for geminiviruses in actual field production are very limited, and there are the following limitations and problems:

[0005] (1) At present, the prevention and control of geminiviruses mainly focuses on using chemical pesticides to control the virus-transmitting insects of geminiviruses. The extensive use of chemical pesticides not only increases the drug resistance of the virus-transmitting vector Bemisia tabaci, but also causes great harm to non-target organisms and the field ecological environment, resulting in pesticide residues;

[0006] (2) In the field, measures such as timely pulling out diseased plants in the field and increasing the application of chemical fertilizers to improve growth are simultaneously adopted for prevention and control. These field measures waste a lot of labor and time;

[0007] (3) At present, the progress of screening geminivirus-resistant crop varieties by traditional hybridization techniques is slow, which is likely to cause changes in the agronomic traits of offspring plants and reduce the quality and yield of crops;

[0008] (4) In the currently widely used CRISPR / Cas9 system, the knockout fragment of the target virus sequence against geminiviruses is small, and there is a risk of viral sequence mutation escaping editing and recombination into new viruses, posing a greater biosafety hazard.

[0009] Many replication key sites are contained in the geminivirus genome, and these motifs are crucial for the replication of geminiviruses. Therefore, in the present invention, LbCas12a is used to perform targeted editing on them. By knocking out a larger range of geminivirus genome sequences, the replication process of geminiviruses is disrupted, thereby enhancing the anti-geminivirus effect. Summary of the Invention

[0087] The infection vector of the present invention based on the CRISPR / LbCas12a system that can target the key motifs for the replication of TYLCCNV / TYLCCNB has a significantly efficient antiviral function. The antiviral principle based on this system directly cleaves the viral sequence to inhibit virus replication, while increasing the size of the deleted fragment, further enhancing the anti-geminivirus effect, thereby preventing the potential risk of virus escape from editing and being more safely applied in production.

[0088] The vector of the present invention that adds the T5exo element can enhance the efficiency of editing the geminivirus genome sequence and expand the application of the deleted fragment. The present invention can enhance the disease resistance effect against TYLCCNV / TYLCCNB by using a multi-target editing strategy.

[0089] Compared with the prior art, the outstanding effect of the present invention lies in:

[0090] (1) The present invention constructs recombinant vectors pCambia1300:LbCas12-fgY10A, pCambia1300:LbCas12-fgY10b, pCambia1300:T5exo-LbCas12-fgY10A, pCambia1300:T5exo-LbCas12-fgY10b, and pCambia1300:T5exo-LbCas12-Y10*4. By utilizing the characteristics of the editing of the Cas12 protein, such as high editing efficiency and large deleted fragment size, these vectors target the key replication sites of TYLCCNV / TYLCCNB, thus further reducing and eliminating the risk of virus escape editing caused by geminivirus sequence mutations.

[0091] (2) By adding the T5exo element, the editing efficiency and the size of the deleted fragment are further increased, thereby further enhancing the anti-geminivirus effect.

[0092] (3) By multi-target editing of geminiviruses, the anti-geminivirus effect of the vectors is further enhanced.

[0093] (4) These vectors target the virus itself rather than the host plant, so they can efficiently resist virus infection without affecting agronomic traits, which is more conducive to practical field production.

[0094] (5) This set of systems has a wide range of applications and can be applied to all host plants of TYLCCNV / TYLCCNB.
