Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biosynthesis, and particularly relates to a brewer's yeast of a heterologous DNA methylation system and a construction method thereof. Background Art
[0002] DNA methylation modification is the most common epigenetic modification system in organisms. It can regulate gene expression without changing the genome sequence and is an important regulatory method involved in life processes. DNA methylation exists in most organisms, including prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukaryotic DNA methylation is mainly mediated by DNA methyltransferases, and uses S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor to produce three types of DNA methylation modifications at genomic CPG sites, with 5-methylcytosine (5mC) being the main one. DNA methylation can be divided into two processes: establishment and maintenance. Methylation of two unmethylated DNA chains is called de novo methylation. The enzymes responsible for de novo methylation in the human body are Dnmt3A and Dnmt3B; there is also a de novo methylase auxiliary factor Dnmt3L. During DNA replication, the process of remethylation of the newly synthesized chain is called maintenance methylation. In the human body, Dnmt1 is responsible for the maintenance methylation function.
[0003] In the DNA methylation system, if there is no maintenance methylase, the genetic information of DNA methylation may be lost after multiple generations of replication of the genome that has completed DNA methylation. Therefore, in a complete DNA methylation system, both de novo methylase and maintenance methylase are indispensable.
[0004] Previous studies on the DNA methylation system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae did not introduce complete DNA methyltransferases, or introduced mouse DNA methyltransferases.
[0005] DNA methylation is a system that exists in most eukaryotes and prokaryotes, but it does not exist in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Therefore, it is necessary to construct Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing a heterologous DNA methylation system to provide a platform for studying DNA methylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae model organisms. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a saccharomyces cerevisiae heterologous DNA methylation system.

[0103] (14) Repeat step (13) twice; discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, add 500 μL buffer C to the DNA adsorption column to stabilize the nucleic acid molecules and remove water from the DNA molecules to better adsorb the DNA on the DNA adsorption column; centrifuge at 4°C, 12000 rpm for 1 min; discard the waste liquid in the collection tube,
[0104] (15) Add 700 μL of rinse solution W2 to the DNA adsorption column to wash away impurities, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste liquid; then add 500 μL of rinse solution W2 to the DNA adsorption column to wash away impurities, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste liquid; then centrifuge the DNA adsorption column at 12000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste liquid;

[0107] 2) Enzymatic digestion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome
[0108] (1) Place the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome obtained in the previous step in a 100°C dry bath for 30 min and place in an ice bath for 1 min;
[0109] (2) Add 1 μL of nuclease P1 and 2 μL of nuclease P1 buffer and place in a 37°C water bath for 12 h to allow the nuclease to fully digest the DNA molecules;
