Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a vector for reducing protein expression in plants by using a uAUG-ds combined with a subgenomic promoter sGP183 of Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), a construction method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus with a genome length of about 6.4 kb, belonging to the genus of Potexvirus. The genomic RNA encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), which plays a key role in virus replication and transcription; the subgenomic sgRNA1 and sgRNA2 encode three gene block proteins (TGB1, TGB2 and TGB3), which are responsible for intercellular movement of the virus; the RdRP recognizes the subgenomic sgRNA3 encoded by the subgenomic promoter sGP183 to encode the coat protein (CP), which forms a virus particle with protective function by wrapping the viral RNA. The virus mainly infects Solanaceae crops such as tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, and is particularly harmful to tomato production. After PepMV infects tomatoes, the tomato leaves show symptoms of mottling, wrinkling or deformation, and the tomato fruits show symptoms of yellowing or green fading spots, fruit skin indentation or "tiger skin" patterns.

[0003] The "TBF1 regulatory cassette" regulates pathogen-responsive translation through two upstream open reading frames (uORFs), thereby regulating the expression of the immune gene NPR1, so that Arabidopsis thaliana and rice obtain broad-spectrum disease resistance without affecting growth and yield. Subsequent studies have found that the double-stranded RNA structure (uAUG-ds) upstream of the start codon uAUG of the TBF1 mRNA inhibits protein translation, while the immune-induced RNA helicase can unwind the uAUG-ds to promote the translation of defense proteins. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a vector for reducing protein expression in plants based on uAUG-ds combined with sGP183 and a construction method and application.

[0005] The 5' UTR region of TUB7 and TBF1 both contain uAUG-ds, which are named as A-uAUG-ds (containing 144 nucleotides) and B-uAUG-ds (containing 105 nucleotides), respectively. The Class1 uAUG-ds is named as C-uAUG-ds (containing 54 nucleotides). The sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO: 4-6; the sequence of sGP183 of PepMV is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7.

[0006] The vector constructed in the application can reduce the accumulation of the target protein under the condition of not changing the promoter, and the single uAUG-ds and sGP183 in series can reduce the accumulation of the target protein. On the basis of uAUG-ds-sGP183, the C-uAUG-ds in series can further reduce the accumulation of the target protein, so as to realize the gradient reduction of the expression of the target protein in plants. The application provides help for the functional analysis of different expression amounts of the target gene in plants. For the problem of transgene caused by the interference of high expression protein on the growth and development of plants, the application can accurately regulate the expression amount of the target protein, so as to effectively solve the problem.

[0055] PCR target band was constructed into SacI and BamHI linearized pCAMBIA1300 vector, and transformed into DH5α E. coli competent. The primer was identified as F-A / R-pCAM, F-B / R-pCAM and F-C / R-pCAM. The correct clone was cultured, the plasmid was extracted, and sequenced with R-pCAM primer, and the sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 17;

[0056] R-pCAM: CACAGTAAATTACAAGCACAAC

[0057] Thus, pCAMBIA1300-A-sGP183, pCAMBIA1300-B-sGP183 and pCAMBIA1300-C-sGP183 vectors were obtained, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 18-20. Figures 1-3

[0058] (ii) In order to clarify the effect of A-sGP183, B-sGP183 and C-sGP183 on the accumulation of target protein. The GFP which can emit green fluorescent protein under ultraviolet irradiation was used as a candidate protein to evaluate the effect of the vector. ​

[0059] 1, TMV-GFP as a template, using primer F-GFP / R-GFP amplified GFP nucleotide sequence, get a specific PCR band; after agarose gel electrophoresis, and cut the gel recovery and purification of specific PCR band; GFP sequence as SEQ ID NO: 9. F-GFP / R-GFP sequence as SEQ ID NO: 18-19:

[0060] F-GFP: CAGTTGCTGCTACTTCTGGT ATGGCAAGTAAAGGAGAAGAAC

[0061] R-GFP: CTAATTAAGTTTCGAGTGTTTTATTTGTATAGTTCATCCATGCCA

[0062] 2, 600ng pCAMBIA1300-A, B and C-sGP183 plasmid, KpnI 1 μL, 10 x FastDigest Green Buffer 2 μL; the rest of the system with ddH2O to 20 μL; 37℃ enzyme cutting 4h, then 80℃ 10min, -20℃ freezing preservation;

[0063] 3, KpnI enzyme cutting pCAMBIA1300-A-sGP183, pCAMBIA1300-B-sGP183 and pCAMBIA1300-C-sGP183 plasmid 1 μL, F-GFP / R-GFP amplified fragments 2 μL, 2 x Master Assembly Mix 5 μL, ddH2O to 10 μL, 50℃ reaction 15min;

[0064] 4, 10 μL ligation product into E. coli DH5α, using kanamycin as resistance screening, single clone colony PCR identification and sequencing, to confirm whether the fragment is connected into the vector;

[0065] F-GFP / R-pCAM identification primer sequence as SEQ ID NO: 18 and 17; the correct clone to expand culture, extraction of plasmid, and R-pCAM primer sequencing.

[0066] Thus obtained containing pCAMBIA1300-A-sGP183-GFP, pCAMBIA1300-B-sGP183-GFP and pCAMBIA1300-C-sGP183-GFP vector, as Figure 4 A shown.

[0067] (iii) The vectors of pCAMBIA1300-A-sGP183-GFP, B-sGP183-GFP and C-sGP183-GFP were transformed into EHA105 Agrobacterium competence, and the positive Agrobacterium colonies were identified using primers F-GFP / R-pCAM, the sequences of which are shown in SEQ ID NO: 18 and 17. Agrobacterium containing pCAMBIA1300-A, B and C-sGP183-GFP were infiltrated into N. benthamiana leaf pieces. Two days after injection, the GFP fluorescence of the sGP183-GFP region was weaker than that of the GFP-expressing region of the leaf (Fig. 2B-D). Western blot and qRT-PCR both detected weaker GFP protein bands and lower GFP mRNA levels in the sGP183-GFP region than in the GFP-expressing region of the leaf (Fig. 2B-D). This indicates that sGP183 can reduce the accumulation of GFP protein by reducing the level of GFP mRNA. Figure 4 B-D). This indicates that sGP183 can reduce the accumulation of GFP protein by reducing the level of GFP mRNA. Figure 4 B-D). C-uAUG-ds only slightly reduced the accumulation of GFP protein. A-uAUG, although it increased the level of GFP mRNA, significantly reduced the GFP fluorescence intensity and protein accumulation (Fig. 2B-D). These results show that a single uAUG-ds combined with sGP183 can effectively reduce the accumulation of GFP protein, and the ability of different types of uAUG-ds-sGP183 to affect GFP protein accumulation is in the order of B-sGP183 > A-sGP183 > C-sGP183. Figure 4 B-D). This indicates that sGP183 can reduce the accumulation of GFP protein by reducing the level of GFP mRNA. Figure 4 B-D). This indicates that sGP183 can reduce the accumulation of GFP protein by reducing the level of GFP mRNA.
