Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic resource detection technology, and in particular to a Cas12a protein ssDNA nucleic acid aptamer Cas12a-03 and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cas12a nuclease is a class 2, type V endonuclease in the CRISPR system, which plays an important role in the adaptive immune system of bacteria and archaea. Unlike the Cas9 nuclease, Cas12a only needs a crRNA guide to target the target DNA. It has a simplified guide system and has obvious advantages in applications with limited space. In addition, the Cas12a system relies on T-rich PAM, which is different from the G-rich PAM sequence recognized by Cas9, broadening the targeting range of gene editing. In addition, activated Cas12a has incidental cutting activity and can cut single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in parallel. It can be used for signal amplification and achieve high-sensitivity detection of specific nucleic acid sequences. It shows great application potential in fields such as gene editing and disease diagnosis.
[0003] Aptamers, also known as "chemical antibodies," are single-stranded nucleic acid (RNA or ssDNA) sequences with molecular recognition capabilities, obtained through in vitro screening. Compared to traditional antibodies, aptamers offer advantages such as rapid synthesis, excellent stability, high biocompatibility, ease of modification, and minimal batch-to-batch variability. Aptamers hold broad application prospects in disease diagnosis and treatment.
[0004] Aptamers are usually screened in vitro through the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). After more than 30 years of innovation and improvement, various new and efficient aptamer screening methods have been developed and applied, such as the screening strategy based on target fixation, in which the target is fixed on the surface of carriers such as nanomagnetic beads and resin materials, and the free aptamer sequence is bound and sorted by fixing the target; the screening strategy based on library fixation, in which nanomaterials with fixed library sequences are prepared, and nucleic acid nanomaterials that bind to the target are obtained by sorting; there are also screening methods that allow the target molecule and the nucleic acid library to interact in a free state, such as capillary electrophoresis (CE)-SELEX. The development of these technologies provides technical support for the screening of Cas12a protein ssDNA nucleic acid aptamers.
[0005] With the widespread application of Cas12a proteins in gene editing, nucleic acid detection and other fields, the demand for ssDNA aptamers that specifically bind to them is also increasing. Screening for high-affinity and high-specificity Cas12a protein ssDNA aptamers will help further optimize Cas12a-related detection technologies, improve detection sensitivity and specificity, and provide key components for the development of new Cas12a-based biosensors and gene therapy vectors, thereby promoting the development and application of related biotechnologies.
[0006] Based on this, providing a novel Cas12a protein ssDNA nucleic acid aptamer has important practical significance. Summary of the Invention
