Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biological polymerases, and in particular to a MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant.

[0002] The present invention also relates to a method for preparing a MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant;

[0003] The invention also relates to an application of the MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant. Background Art

[0004] Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a technology that can detect the expression level of target genes with high throughput and high efficiency. It consists of two steps. The first step is reverse transcription (RT), which reverse transcribes RNA into cDNA; the second step is qPCR, which uses fluorescent groups to monitor the PCR process in real time. Reverse transcriptase is the key enzyme that converts single-stranded RNA into cDNA. Reverse transcriptase generally has three enzyme activities: RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and RNase H activity. In the biomedical field, reverse transcriptase is widely used in genome analysis, cDNA library preparation, RNA sequencing, and so on.

[0005] So far, dozens of reverse transcriptases have been discovered, and commonly used reverse transcriptases include Moloney Murine Leukemia virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase and avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) reverse transcriptase. M-MLV reverse transcriptase consists of a polypeptide chain, including an N-terminal polymerase domain and a C-terminal RNase H domain. It generally works at 37℃-42℃ and will be quickly inactivated at high temperatures. AMV reverse transcriptase consists of two subunits and has a higher optimal reaction temperature (45℃-50℃), but compared with M-MLV reverse transcriptase, its cDNA synthesis efficiency is lower and its RNase H activity is stronger, so its application range is smaller than that of M-MLV reverse transcriptase.

[0006] Since single-stranded RNA easily pairs with itself to form complex secondary structures such as hairpins at low temperatures, it has a significant impact on the reverse transcription efficiency of the M-MLV enzyme. The simplest way to open the secondary structure of RNA is to open the hydrogen bonds of the secondary structure at high temperatures, so that the RNA becomes a linear single strand, which is conducive to cDNA synthesis. However, the optimal reaction temperature of the wild-type M-MLV enzyme is 37°C, and its stability and activity decrease at high temperatures, which limits the widespread application of M-MLV reverse transcriptase.

[0007] At present, there are two ways to modify wild M-MLV reverse transcriptase: site-directed mutagenesis and random mutation. One effective modification is to reduce or remove their RNase H activity through point mutation. After removing RNase H activity, the thermal stability is also improved to a certain extent. Another modification is that Thermo Fisher uses ribosome display (RD) and in vitro compartmentalization technology (IVC) for high-throughput screening to obtain mutants with significantly improved thermal stability, and its thermal stability is significantly improved to 50°C. Although these methods have increased the reverse transcription temperature to a certain extent, in fact, it is still far from meeting the application requirements in the field of direct RT-qPCR detection. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an M-MLV reverse transcriptase mutant with higher thermal stability and faster reverse transcription rate. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant in response to the above-mentioned problems.

[0030] 1. The MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant of the present invention can withstand a high temperature of 75°C. At this temperature, the secondary structure of the RNA sample to be reverse transcribed is completely opened, the binding ability of the primer and the sample is improved, the nonspecific binding in the system is reduced, the cDNA synthesis efficiency and the quality of the synthesized cDNA are improved, and when the mutant reverse transcriptase is used for reverse transcription reaction, an efficient reverse transcription reaction can be performed on an RNA template with a complex structure to synthesize higher quality cDNA.

[0031] 2. The MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant of the present invention is resistant to high temperatures and has a fast reverse transcription speed. For ordinary reverse transcription systems, no special reverse transcription procedure is required. A complete cDNA product that can be used for subsequent PCR, qPCR amplification or other further experiments can be synthesized only during the pre-denaturation and temperature rise process before PCR amplification (for complex reverse transcription systems, the reverse transcription time only takes 1 minute). This allows the mutant reverse transcriptase to be used for a wider range of reactions, can be used for rapid cDNA synthesis, and accelerates the detection rate of RT-PCR or RT-qPCR using RNA as a template.

[0032] 3. The MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant of the present invention has good thermal stability and still has high activity after being thermally accelerated at 37° C. for 7 days. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0039] The present invention provides a MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant, specifically comprising:

[0040] (1) Construction of MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants:

[0041] In this example, the structure of MMLV was analyzed to obtain amino acid sites that may affect the template binding ability, including A32, S56, E69, L139, T163, T197, H204, S232, N249, T306, F309, T330, G424, L435, D449, D524, E562, D583, L603, H642, and T664. The wild-type MMLV reverse transcriptase, referred to as MMLV-WT, was designed to mutate the aforementioned sites based on SEQ ID NO.1 to obtain an MMLV reverse transcriptase mutant.

[0042] In the present invention, the considerations for site screening are as follows:

[0043] (1) A32, S56, E69, L139, T163, T197, H204, S232, N249, T306, F309, and T330 are the polymerase domain of the primary structure of MMLV reverse transcriptase. Amino acid substitutions at the aforementioned sites can improve the mutant's thermal stability, optimal adaptation temperature, affinity for substrates, and cDNA synthesis efficiency, and reduce sensitivity to inhibitors;

[0044] (2) The G424, L435, and D449 sites are the connection domain of the primary structure of MMLV reverse transcriptase. Amino acid substitutions at the aforementioned sites have an important regulatory function for the overall activity of MMLV reverse transcriptase.

[0045] (3) D524, E562, D583, L603, H642, and T664 are the RNaseH domain of the primary structure of MMLV reverse transcriptase. Amino acid substitutions at the aforementioned sites can reduce the activity of RNAse H and improve thermal stability and cDNA synthesis efficiency.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mutation designs for the screening sites are: A32V, S56A, E69K, L139P, T163K, T197A, H204R, S232T, N249D, T306K, F309N, T330S, G424D, L435R, D449G, D524G, E562Q, D583N, L603W, H642D, and T664N.

[0047] Through molecular docking, a binary complex model of MMLV reverse transcriptase and nucleic acid molecules was constructed, the binding mode of MMLV and nucleic acid molecules was analyzed, and the key amino acid sites were identified based on the binding free energy decomposition of amino acid sites. In order to further improve the thermal stability of reverse transcriptase MMLV, a variety of bioinformatics technologies including electron density analysis, homologous sequence alignment, B-factor analysis, MD conformational change analysis, etc. were used to identify the unstable region of the enzyme. Secondly, FRESCO and Dynamic Disulfide Discovery methods were used to scan the three-dimensional structure of MMLV to identify potential disulfide bond sites. Then, Rosetta and FoldX were used to predict the free energy change of the enzyme before and after mutation. Finally, the mutation site was determined by combining the above information, and MMLV mutants with high activity and strong thermal stability were obtained through mutant screening.

[0048] For the above mutation sites, the specific combinations provided in this embodiment are shown in Table 1 below, and five MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants were obtained, named M1 to M5.

[0049] Table 1 Mutation site combinations

[0050]

[0051] According to the amino acid sequence of the M1-M5 mutant reverse transcriptase, the codons of the E. coli expression system were optimized to obtain a deoxynucleotide sequence that can be efficiently expressed in the E. coli host bacteria, and the DNA molecule encoding the mutant reverse transcriptase was amplified by PCR, as follows:

[0052] Amplification system: 10×Buffer for KOD-Plus-5μL, 2mM dNTPs 5μL, 25mM MgSO4 2μL, final concentration of 0.2μM forward and reverse primers F1 and R1, template 50ng, KOD-Plus-(1.0U / μL), ddH2O supplemented to 50ul.

[0053] The PCR program was 94°C for 2 min; 94°C for 15 s, 58°C for 30 s, 68°C for 1 min (1 min / kb), 25 cycles; 68°C for 5 min; 4°C hold; nucleic acid gel electrophoresis: gel concentration was 1.0%, electrophoresis pressure was 100 V, and time was 30 min. After completion, gel recovery was performed using the Omega nucleic acid gel recovery kit;

[0054] Finally, the target gene of the gel recovery product was connected to the vector pET-28b by homologous recombination to obtain a recombinant vector, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0055] (2) Screening of MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants, as follows:

[0056] Take 4 μL of the obtained recombinant vector and add it to 100ul DH5α competent cells, place it on ice for 30min, heat shock it at 42℃ for 90s, place it on ice for 15min, add 200ul LB, activate it at 37℃ for 1h, and finally take 100ul to plate. Send the plate colony to a third-party company for sequencing to obtain the positive clones with correct sequencing. Cultivate the positive clones and extract the plasmids. The obtained plasmids are the recombinant vectors containing DNA molecules encoding mutant reverse transcriptase.

[0057] (3) Fermentation and purification of MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants, as follows:

[0058] The obtained recombinant vector was transformed into the host cell E. coli Rosetta (DE3), and a single colony was picked and inoculated into liquid LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin to culture until OD600 was 0.8, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.5 mmol / L, induced at 18°C ​​for 16 h, and the bacteria were collected.

[0059] After the collected bacteria were fully resuspended in lysis buffer, they were broken with a cell high-pressure homogenizer, and then centrifuged at 13000g for 20 minutes, centrifuged twice, and the supernatant was purified with a Ni affinity chromatography purification column and collected step by step, and the eluate collected in a single tube was subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis detection; the buffer used in the Ni affinity chromatography process includes: equilibrium buffer, rinsing buffer and gradient elution buffer; the elution peak of the Ni affinity chromatography was subjected to SP ion column chromatography, and the elution peak was collected and dialyzed into a storage buffer (20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 300mM NaCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% (v / v) NP-40, 50% glycerol), and stored at -20°C. The entire purification process was carried out on ice or at 4°C; mutant MMLV reverse transcriptase was obtained, and the gel image of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis detection of some mutants was shown in Figure 2;

[0063] Verification Example 1

[0064] The mutant reverse transcriptase performance test is as follows:

[0065] 1) Thermal activity assay of reverse transcriptase mutants

[0066] The amount of enzyme required to incorporate 1 nmol of dTTP into acid-insoluble substances within 10 minutes at 37°C using Poly(A)-Oligo(dT) as template / primer is defined as 1 activity unit. The enzyme solution after measuring the activity unit concentration is diluted to 200 U / μl using reverse transcriptase storage solution.

[0067] 2) Reverse transcription performance test of mutant reverse transcriptases M1-M5

[0068] The RT-qPCR one-tube method was used to test the Transmissible grastroenteritis virus (TGEV) detection system of a certain company. The commercial MMLV-RT (Company YG) was used as the control group to test the mutant reverse transcriptases M1 to M5.

[0079] The thermal stability test of the mutant reverse transcriptase is as follows:

[0080] This verification example tests the high temperature reverse transcription performance of mutant reverse transcriptases M1-M5, and tests the competitor and the mutant reverse transcriptases M1-M5 of this example at different reverse transcription temperatures in the TGEV system; the reverse transcription temperature is set at 60-75°C for 10 minutes, with 5°C as an increment unit, a total of 4 gradient increments, and 4 sets of eight-tubes are placed in the Gentier 96E / 96R fully automatic medical PCR detection instrument for testing. The test results are shown in Table 5:

[0083]

[0084] The results show that M1-M5 of this example have good thermal stability, among which M1-M5 complete reverse transcription at 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, and 75°C. In particular, M3 and M5 have extremely high thermal stability and can complete reverse transcription at a high temperature of 75°C. The Ct value is 4 earlier than that of the other three mutants and competitors.

The test system was the same as Table 2 of Verification Example 1. The reverse transcription temperature was 50°C, and the reverse transcription time was set to 5min, 3min, 1min, and 0min for testing. The test results are shown in Table 6 below:

[0090] The results show that compared with other similar commercial enzymes on the market, the mutant reverse transcriptases M2 and M5 of this example have the smallest Ct values, proving that the mutant reverse transcriptase of this example has stronger reverse transcription ability and faster speed in generating cDNA by reverse transcription.

[0091] Verification Example 4

[0092] Storage stability of reverse transcriptase mutants was determined as follows:

[0093] The reverse transcriptase mutant was diluted to the storage concentration and placed in a 37°C oven for 7 days to test its storage stability. The RT-qPCR one-tube method was used to test the TGEV detection system of a certain company's transmissible grastroenteritis virus. After 7 days at 37 degrees, the results of the competitor reverse transcriptase Company YG and the mutant reverse transcriptase are shown in Table 7.

[0094] Table 7 Storage stability test table of reverse transcriptase mutants

[0095]

[0096] It can be seen that the Ct values ​​of the competitor Company YG-RT and the reverse transcriptase mutants M3 and M5 of this example are consistent before and after thermal acceleration, and it is believed that the change of the mutation site of M3 and M5 is beneficial to storage stability.

[0097] In summary, the M5 mutant has extremely high thermal stability and can complete reverse transcription at a high temperature of 75°C. It also performs well in thermal stability, reverse transcription ability and speed, and storage stability.
