Description

DNA polymerase and its application Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a DNA polymerase and its application. Background Art

[0002] Phy29 DNA polymerase is a mesophilic DNA polymerase cloned from the Bacillus subtilis phage phi29. It belongs to the B family of DNA polymerases. The crystal structure of Phi29 DNA polymerase reveals that, in addition to the conserved palm, thumb, finger, and exodomains (which possess 3'→5' proofreading activity) common to B family DNA polymerases, Phi29 possesses two unique domains: TPR1 (terminal protein region 1) and TPR2 (terminal protein region 2). The TPR2 domain is involved in forming a narrow channel around the downstream template DNA strand, forcing the dissociation of the double-stranded DNA. Simultaneously, the Palm, Thumb, TPR1, and TPR2 domains form a ring-like structure that tightly binds to the double-stranded DNA formed by the upstream template strand.

[0003] The structural characteristics of Phi29 DNA polymerase give it exceptional high processivity, strong strand displacement, and high fidelity. It is commonly used in isothermal amplification techniques such as rolling circle amplification (RCA) of trace circular DNA and multiple strand displacement amplification of genomes.

[0004] However, the optimal reaction temperature of wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase is 34°C, and its activity decreases sharply at higher temperatures, making it difficult to meet the reaction temperature and storage stability requirements of related applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a DNA polymerase with higher thermal stability that can maintain high rolling circle amplification activity at higher reaction temperatures.

[0082] The novel DNA polymerase (27°N DNA polymerase; SEQ ID NO: 2) and the wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase (SEQ ID NO: 5) were aligned using the Clustal Omega online sequence alignment website. The amino acid sequence alignment results are shown in FIG1 , which show that the sequence identity between the two is only 46%.

[0083] Example 2 Construction of recombinant plasmid, expression and purification

[0084] Beijing Liuhe BGI Genomics Co., Ltd. was commissioned to synthesize the 27°N DNA polymerase gene sequence and clone the gene into the pET28A expression vector with the cloning sites Nde I and Xho I. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells and incubated at 37°C overnight for subsequent expression and purification. The specific steps are as follows:

[0085] (1) Pick 3-6 single colonies that grow well on the plate and inoculate them into a 50 / 250mL LB liquid conical flask. Incubate at 37℃ for 5-7h. OD 600 Then, the above bacterial solution was inoculated into 2L / 5L LB medium at a 1% inoculation volume and cultured at 37℃ for 2-4h. 600 Reach 0.8-1.0. Pre-cool the original shaker to 16°C. Add IPTG to each culture medium to a final concentration of 0.5 mM. Induce expression for 12-16 hours in a shaker at 220 rpm at 16°C.

[0086] (2) The cells were collected by centrifugation at 8000 g for 30 min. Ni-A buffer was then added to the cells at a ratio of 1:10 (1 g of cells to 10 mL of Ni-A buffer) to resuspend the cells. The cells were disrupted by ultrasound in an ice bath. The disrupted liquid was centrifuged at 12000 rpm at 4°C for 60 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane and used as the sample for the purification column.

[0087] (3) The sample was loaded onto a pre-treated histidine-tagged protein purification column (HisTrap FF Crude) at a rate of 3 mL / min. After loading, the column was rinsed with Ni-A Buffer for 20 column volumes. A linear elution with a Ni-B buffer ratio of 0-70% was then performed over 10.5 CV. The eluted protein was collected when the UV absorption peak reached 200 mAu and stopped when the UV absorption peak dropped to 400 mAu.

[0088] (4) The collected eluate was loaded onto a pre-treated Q column (the Q column was pre-equilibrated with 41% SP-B Buffer for 10 column volumes), and the flow-through was collected when the UV absorption peak reached 200 mAu.

[0089] (5) The collected Q column flow-through was diluted with TE Buffer 2.33 times the amount and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane before use for SP column purification. Specifically, the sample was flowed into the pretreated SP column at a flow rate of 5 mL / min. After the sample was loaded, 20 column volumes of SP-A Buffer were used for flushing, followed by linear elution. Sample collection began when the UV absorption peak was greater than 200 mAu.

[0090] (6) After the purified sample is dialyzed and its concentration is determined, it is stored in Storage Buffer for subsequent functional activity analysis.

[0091] The specific components of the buffer used in the purification process are as follows:

[0092] Ni-A Buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl (2.42 g / L), 500 mM NaCl (29.22 g / L), 20 mM Imidazole (1.36 g / L), 5% Glycerol (62.5 g / L), pH 7.9.

[0093] Ni-B Buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl (2.42 g / L), 500 mM NaCl (29.22 g / L), 500 mM Imidazole (34.04 g / L), 5% Glycerol (62.5 g / L), pH 7.9.

[0094] SP-A Buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl (2.42 g / L), 150 mM NaCl (8.77 g / L), 5% Glycerol (62.5 g / L), pH 7.5.

[0095] SP-B Buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl (2.42 g / L), 1 M NaCl (58.44 g / L), 5% Glycerol (62.5 g / L), pH 7.5.

[0096] 2×Dialysis Buffer: 23.75 mM Tris-HCl (2.877 g / L), 237.5 mM KCl (17.705 g / L), 1 mM DTT (dithiothreitol) (0.154 g / L), 0.2375 mM EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) (0.0884 g / L), 5% Glycerol (62.5 g / L), pH 7.5@25°C.

[0097] Storage Buffer: 10 mM Tris-HCl (1.2114 g / L), 100 mM KCl (7.455 g / L), 1 mM DTT (0.15425 g / L), 0.1 mM EDTA (0.037224 g / L), 50% Glycerol (625 g / L), pH 7.5 @ 25°C.

[0098] The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis results of the purified protein are shown in FIG2 . As can be seen from FIG2 , the target protein with high purity was obtained after purification.

[0099] Example 3 Polymerization activity determination

[0100] Polymerization activity was assayed using primed M13ssDNA (M13ssDNA with annealed primers) as a substrate. The principle of the polymerization activity assay is shown in Figure 3. In the presence of polymerization activity, the primers on the primed M13ssDNA extend along the ssDNA in a 5'-3' direction, producing dsDNA, which can be quantified using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kits. The specific reaction system and components for the polymerization activity assay are shown in Table 1.

[0101] Table 1

[0102] Component Volume (μL) 10× Reaction Buffer 2.5 50 nM Primer-M13 ssDNA 4 10 mM dNTP Mix 127°N DNA Polymerase 1 NF16.5

[0103] The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C, 55°C, and 72°C for 5 min, and then 2 μL of 0.5 M EDTA was added to terminate the reaction. The dsDNA concentration was then determined using a Qubit kit. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0104] Table 2

[0105] Reaction conditions dsDNA concentration (ng / μL) 72℃ / 5min 3.1655℃ / 5min 6.5437℃ / 5min 1.51

[0106] The above results show that the enzyme has polymerization activity, and the polymerization activity at 55°C is higher than that at 37°C. This indicates that the optimal temperature of the enzyme is at least greater than 37°C, which is higher than the optimal reaction temperature of wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase.

[0107] Example 4 Exo-activity assay

[0108] Exo-activity was determined using a terminal mismatched substrate probe method. The principle of 3'-5' exo-activity detection is shown in Figure 4. The fluorescent probe sequence used is: a primer with a quencher group at the 3' end (ATCAGCAGGCCACACGTTAAACTGT 3'-BHQ2) and a primer with a fluorescent group at the 5' end (TAGTCGTCCGGTGTGCAATTTCTGT 5'-Rox) are annealed and complementary to form a double-stranded substrate containing four mismatches at the end.

[0109] SEQ ID NO: 3: 5'-ATCAGCAGGCCACACGTTAAACTGT-3'.

[0110] SEQ ID NO: 4: 5'-TAGTCGTCCCGGTGTGCAATTTCTGT-3'.

[0111] The reaction system for detecting 3'-5' exo-cleavage activity is shown in Table 3, wherein the blank control is a reaction system without enzyme. The reaction was carried out at 30°C for 1 hour, and the fluorescence signal (FAM fluorescence, excitation peak at 492 nm, emission peak at 520 nm) was collected every 30 seconds:

[0112] Table 3

[0113] Component volume (μL) 27°N DNA polymerase 210 μM Fluorescent probe 0.255× Reaction buffer 5H2O 17.75

[0114] The results of 3'-5' exo-cleavage activity detection are shown in FIG5 , which shows that the fluorescence value gradually increases with reaction time, indicating that the novel DNA polymerase has 3'-5' exo-cleavage activity (the fluorescence data are corrected data obtained by subtracting the blank control).

[0115] Example 5 Rolling Circle Replication Activity Assay

[0116] The activity of the novel DNA polymerase was assayed using a rolling circle replication method. The schematic diagram of the rolling circle amplification activity assay is shown in FIG6 . The specific principle is: single-stranded circular DNA bound to a primer is used as a substrate for rolling circle replication, and the resulting ssDNA product is then detected using the Qubit ssDNA Assay Kit. The schematic diagram and activity assay steps are shown below:

[0117] (1) Take 0.6 mg / mL of the enzyme and dilute it 1000 times using the gradient dilution method (50×20).

[0118] (2) The above enzyme dilution solution was used to prepare the reaction system shown in Table 4.

[0119] Table 4

[0120] Component volume (μL) 10× reaction buffer 25 μM primer 0.1

[0121] 10mM dNTPs 1.251ng / μL single-stranded circular DNA 6NF H2O 10.6527°N DNA polymerase 2.5

[0122] The components of 10× reaction buffer are: 500 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM MgCl2, 100 mM (NH4)2SO4, 40 mM DTT, pH 7.5 (25°C).

[0123] (3) Place the above reaction system in a PCR instrument and incubate at 30°C for 2 h with the heated lid set to 40°C.

[0124] (4) After the reaction was completed, 2 μL of 0.5 M EDTA was added to terminate the reaction, and the mixture was mixed by vortexing. TM Qubit TM ssDNA concentration was determined using the ssDNA Assay Kit.

[0125] The concentration of the single-stranded DNA product amplified by the above reaction was confirmed to be 2.3 ng / μL using a Qubit fluorometer, indicating that the novel DNA polymerase has rolling circle replication activity.

[0126] Example 6 Optimum Temperature Determination

[0127] Using the same reaction system as above, the rolling circle replication activity of the novel DNA polymerase and the wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase at different temperatures was tested, and a temperature and relative reaction activity curve was obtained, as shown in Figure 7. The results showed that the optimal reaction temperature of the 27°N DNA polymerase was about 40°C, which was higher than that of the wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase (optimum temperature around 34°C).

[0128] The rolling circle replication products at different reaction temperatures were subjected to electrophoresis. The nucleic acid electrophoresis gel images of the rolling circle replication products at different reaction temperatures are shown in FIG8 . The nucleic acid electrophoresis gel images show that the amplified single-stranded products all exhibit pore blocking, indicating that the new 27°N DNA polymerase also has good processivity.

[0129] In summary, the present application provides a DNA polymerase (27°N DNA polymerase), the sequence identity of the 27°N DNA polymerase with the wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase is only 46%; the 27°N DNA polymerase has a higher optimal reaction temperature than the wild-type phi29 DNA polymerase and better thermal stability, which can meet the requirements of related applications for reaction temperature and storage stability, and has broad application prospects in constant temperature amplification, WGA library construction, etc.
