Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a high-throughput screening system and screening method for sequencing enzymes. Background Art
[0002] FRET refers to the situation where, among two different fluorescent groups, if the emission spectrum of one fluorescent group (donor) overlaps with the absorption spectrum of another fluorescent group (acceptor), when the two fluorescent groups are close enough, the donor molecule is excited to a higher electronic energy state after absorbing photons of a certain frequency. Before the electron returns to the ground state, energy is transferred to the adjacent acceptor molecule through dipole interaction. The FRET luminescence principle is as follows Figure 1 , excite the donor fluorescence and when the distance between the fluorescent donor molecule and the fluorescent acceptor molecule is close enough, energy resonance transfer can occur, realizing the phenomenon of acceptor luminescence, and then fluorescence detection is performed through a fluorescence capture device, such as an enzyme marker:
[0003] FRET conditions:
[0004] 1) Energy matching: The emission spectrum of the donor molecule can be absorbed by the acceptor molecule and produce a fluorescent signal. The emission spectrum of the donor molecule must overlap significantly with the excitation spectrum of the acceptor molecule (>30%).
[0005] 2) Interaction distance: The interaction distance between donor molecules and acceptor molecules is 1 to 10 nm;
[0006] 3) FRET efficiency formula: used to calculate the interaction distance R between molecules / groups
[0007]
[0008] R0=const·κ 2 ·n -4 ·φ D ·J DA
[0009] 4) Dipole-dipole interaction: The vectors when the donor molecule interacts with the acceptor molecule must meet certain conditions.
[0010] FRET technology has a wide range of applications. It has a history of 25 years since its discovery. The technology is widely used in the fields of biology and biochemistry. FRET technology can be used to obtain spatial information about the interaction between two protein molecules (action distance, action direction, energy transfer efficiency). It is often used to solve the following problems: co-localization of protein molecules; protein molecule aggregation; transcription mechanism; transformation pathway; molecular movement; protein folding and other biological problems.
[0011] Traditional methods for detecting the incorporation of single bases into DNA chains generally require electrophoresis analysis, which is time-consuming, has low throughput, requires more time and costs more; moreover, the electrophoresis analysis method can only check the incorporation of single bases by the endpoint method, and cannot detect the incorporation of single bases in real time. Therefore, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to evaluate the speed, efficiency and catalytic activity of enzymes for the incorporation of single bases into DNA chains or to screen for highly active sequencing enzymes by electrophoresis. The first version of sequencing enzyme screening technology also used the resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology, but due to the complicated operation process and the lack of an automatic workstation, it was not possible to perform high-throughput screening.

[0089] The present invention provides a high-throughput screening system, screening method and application of DNA polymerase. Those skilled in the art can refer to the content of this article and appropriately improve the process parameters to achieve it. It is particularly important to point out that all similar replacements and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all considered to be included in the present invention. The method and application of the present invention have been described by preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously change or appropriately change and combine the method and application of this article without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present invention to realize and apply the technology of the present invention.
[0090] The present invention is based on the FRET technology and selects two fluorescent groups CY5 and CY3 with spectral overlap. This fluorescent pair is widely used in the FRET technology. The spectral overlap diagram of CY5 and CY3 is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The fluorescent group CY3 is connected as a fluorescent donor group to the nitrogenous base side chain of the 3'-OH blocked modified dATP. The modified nucleotide (modified dATP) is as follows Figure 3 (For details, see patent PCT / CN2022 / 084601); the fluorescent group CY5 is connected to the 5' end of the oligonucleotide chain as a fluorescent receptor group, and the two oligonucleotide chains are annealed to form a DNA double strand and serve as template primers for each other (P / T-2CY5). Figure 4. Modified dATP, P / T-2CY5 and DNA polymerase are present in the reaction system at the same time. When modified dATP is polymerized and incorporated into P / T-2CY5 by DNA polymerase, the distance between CY5 and CY3 is about 5nm, which meets the distance requirement for FRET to occur. The Cy3 (Excitation 530nm / emission 568nm) and FRET Cy5 (Excitation 530nm / emission 676nm) signals are detected simultaneously by an ELISA reader. According to the collected FRET Cy5 signal, the maximum slope of the signal trend line can be calculated to compare the reaction speeds of different mutants, so as to screen the mutants. The validity of the experiment must meet the following conditions: the trend line of the Cy3 signal in the positive control group shows a downward trend, the trend line of the FRET Cy5 signal shows an upward trend, and the trend lines of the Cy3 and FRET Cy5 signals in the negative control group both show a downward trend or stabilize after a downward trend, indicating that this experiment is effective and modified dATP is successfully incorporated into the DNA chain.
[0091] In the enzymatic reaction, the concentrations of the substrates P / T-2CY5 and Modified dATP are much greater than the enzyme concentration. At this time, the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) is close to a constant value, and the Km value is the substrate concentration corresponding to half the maximum reaction rate. The Michaelis-Menten equation is as follows.
[0092]
[0093] For detailed experimental steps, please refer to Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3.
[0094] In the present invention, for a library of sequencer mutants constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and multi-point mutagenesis, after inducing protein expression, this method is used to screen the incorporation activity of sequencer mutants to non-natural nucleotides, screen the kinetic activity, and evaluate the catalytic efficiency. The mutant screening method of the present invention has high throughput, high detection sensitivity, and simple operation. It can well evaluate the incorporation ability of DNA polymerase to non-natural nucleotides, and reflect the incorporation of non-natural nucleotides into DNA template chains over time in real time. The raw experimental data can be exported by an ELISA instrument, and the data can be quantified and convenient for processing and analysis.
[0095] The sequencing enzyme screening technology involved in this invention is the second version. Compared with the first version of the sequencing enzyme screening technology, it is equipped with an automatic workstation, optimizes the operating process, realizes high-throughput screening, improves screening efficiency, is easier to use, and saves time and manpower and material resources.
[0096] The test materials used in the present invention are all common commercial products and can be purchased in the market.
[0097] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:
[0098] Example 1 Screening of high-throughput sequencing enzyme mutant activity
[0099] The experiment in this example is mainly to evaluate and screen the ability of sequencing enzyme mutants to polymerize modified nucleotides. A total of 30 mutants were screened in this experiment, and each mutant had three parallel experiments.
[0100] 1. Inducible expression of mutants
[0101] The sequencing enzyme mutant plasmid or PCR product was subjected to a BL21 competent cell plate transformation experiment. After overnight culture at 37°C, a single clone was picked out for culture and induction expression in a 96-well plate liquid LB medium.
[0102] The experimental operation is as follows:
[0103] 1) Using Tecan automatic workstation (company brand: Tecan / Diken; specification model: Freedom ) was used to dispense LB medium in a 96-well plate (costar REF 3596), with 150 μL LB (Kan + , 50μg / mL), seal the 96-well plate and store it in a 4℃ refrigerator for later use. This operation requires a sterile environment.
[0104] 2) Use the Tecan automatic workstation to perform a single colony selection experiment on the transformed plate. Each selected pipette tip is blown and aspirated three times in the corresponding well of the 96-well plate that has been pre-packed with LB to ensure that the bacteria are added to the culture medium. This operation requires a sterile environment.
[0105] 3) The inoculated 96-well plate was re-sealed and placed in a 37°C incubator with shaking at 150 rpm for 6 h.
[0106] 4) Take 3 μL (diluted 1:50) of the above culture medium and transfer it to 150 μL LB (Kan + , 50 μg / mL) in a new 96-well plate and culture at 37°C, 150 rpm for 2-2.5 h until OD600 = 0.8.
[0107] 5) Use a Tecan automated workstation to add IPTG to each well to a final concentration of 0.5 mM, and induce expression at 25°C and 220 rpm for 12 to 16 hours.
[0108] 6) Add 2 μL 100 mM PMSF and 15 μL 10 mg / mL lysozyme to the expression bacterial solution, react at 37°C for 10 min, centrifuge, take the supernatant and place on ice for later use.
[0109] 2. Sequencing enzyme mutant activity screening
[0110] (I) Preparation of screening reaction solution: Prepare the reaction system according to the experimental conditions in Table 1. The crude enzyme solution is the bacterial solution containing the culture medium. (If the effectiveness of the system is tested with pure enzyme, the pure enzyme needs to be diluted 10 times with 1× buffer (buffer: 20mM Tris-HCl, 10mM (NH4)2SO4, 10mM KCl, 4mM MgSO4, 0.1vol% Triton X100) and 0.1% BSA protein protection is added. After dilution, 10μL of the diluted enzyme can be added to the 50μL system)

[0114] Take a 384-well reaction plate (Corning REF 3573), mark it, pre-cool it on ice, and use a Tecan automatic workstation to accurately add samples.
[0115] Accurately add each prepared reaction system into the marked pre-cooled 384-well plate
[0116] (II) Enzyme activity detection
[0117] Detection of Cy3 and FRET Cy5 fluorescence signals using an ELISA reader
[0118] The reaction conditions are as follows:
[0119] 1) The reaction temperature was 40°C for 2 hours, and the fluorescence signal was collected every 1 to 3 minutes;
[0120] 2) Simultaneous detection of Cy3 (Excitation 530nm / emission 568nm) and FRET Cy5 (Excitation 530nm / emission 676nm) signals.
[0121] Analysis of experimental results: A total of 30 mutants were screened in this experiment. The single base incorporation reaction rate V (RFU / min) was defined as the slope of the activity curve. Mut_0 was used as the control, and the relative activity was defined as 1. The relative activities of the other 30 mutants were obtained by the ratio of the reaction rates V of the mutants and Mut_0. Among them, 26 mutants had polymerization activity for Modified dATP, and the other 4 mutants had no activity. Through the analysis of the experimental results, this screening method can well distinguish mutants that can polymerize a single modified base from mutants that cannot polymerize modified bases. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 and Table 2.
[0122] Table 2. Relative activities of mutants
[0123]
[0124] In this experiment, there were 9 mutants with relative activities above 2.0 and 15 mutants with activities above 1.0. The comparison of relative activities can well distinguish mutants with faster and slower modified dATP polymerization rates, indicating that the method of screening sequencing enzyme mutants is very efficient, and superior mutants can be selected for further experiments based on the screening results of crude enzyme activity.

In this experiment, three mutants KOD_M1, KOD_M2, KOD_M3, and KOD were screened. The experimental operation is as follows:
[0128] 1) Pick a single colony and place it in 5 ml LB (Kan + , 50 μg / mL) in sterile culture tubes at 37°C, 220 rpm, and culture overnight.
[0129] 2) Take 50 μL (diluted 1:100) of the above culture medium and transfer it to 5 mL LB (Kan + ,50μg / mL) in a sterile culture tube at 37℃, 220rpm until OD600=0.8.

[0135] 8) The crude protein concentration was determined using Bradford kit.
[0136] 2. Preparation of reaction solution for kinetic test of sequencing enzyme mutants on DNA template chain (P / T)
