Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pathogenic microorganism detection and relates to a RAA-specific primer and crRNA thereof and a kit for detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Background Art
[0002] Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacterium widely distributed in estuaries and oceans, and inhabits the surfaces of fish, shrimp, crabs, and mollusks. It is a major pathogen in aquaculture. Consuming raw or undercooked seafood, particularly shellfish such as shrimp and oysters, is a major route of infection for humans. It can cause acute gastroenteritis, accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and fever. In severe cases, it can also cause sepsis through exposed wounds, seriously endangering life and health. In recent years, the increasing detection of V. parahaemolyticus in aquaculture products has raised serious concerns about food safety and consumer protection, particularly in areas with intensive seafood consumption and farming. Therefore, there is a strong push to develop rapid and accurate detection tools that can be implemented at all stages of the food production and supply chain.
[0003] At present, the detection methods of Vibrio parahaemolyticus are mainly divided into three types: traditional culture, immunological detection and molecular biology detection. Although the traditional culture detection method is mature, its operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Although the immunological detection method has strong specificity and high sensitivity, it still has shortcomings compared to the molecular biology detection method. Molecular biology detection methods can accurately identify Vibrio parahaemolyticus from water samples, food, etc. due to their high efficiency, high sensitivity and strong specificity. Among them, nucleic acid diagnosis is widely regarded as the gold standard for detecting a variety of pathogens. For example, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) is still the gold standard method for detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus. However, this variable temperature nucleic acid amplification has strict requirements on instruments, operator quality and time, which limits its application in resource-limited or field environments, such as seafood markets, aquaculture farms and food processing facilities. To address these limitations, isothermal amplification technologies, primarily loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase-assisted amplification (RAA), have been widely used in real-time nucleic acid testing. Although these methods offer certain advantages over qPCR, such as lower temperature requirements, they are more susceptible to false positives and have relatively long reaction times, factors that limit their widespread adoption in practical applications.
[0004] The CRISPR (Critically Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system was originally discovered as an adaptive immune mechanism in bacteria and has been successfully applied in various fields such as gene editing and molecular diagnostics. In the context of nucleic acid detection, the CRISPR / Cas13a system is widely used for its high specificity in targeting RNA sequences and its ability to exhibit flanking activity upon target recognition. The system consists of a crRNA and a Cas13a protein. Once bound to the target RNA, it indiscriminately cleaves surrounding single-stranded RNA, including synthetic fluorophore-quenched reporter proteins, thereby enabling real-time signal readout. Importantly, the LwaCas13a variant does not require a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), making it particularly suitable for targeting different microbial targets. The SHERLOCK (Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter lock) platform combines isothermal amplification with Cas13-based detection, showing excellent sensitivity and specificity in pathogen diagnosis, and offers great promise for the development of portable, low-cost foodborne pathogen detection systems.

The PCR system consisted of 25 μL Taq Master Mix, 15 μL DEPC water, 2 μL each of VPA1585-F / R (shown in SEQ ID NOs. 1-2), and 6 μL of Vibrio parahaemolyticus genomic DNA. The amplification procedure for the sample used was: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles (95°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, 72°C for 1 min), and a final extension at 72°C for 10 min. The amplified VPA1585 fragment was ligated into the pMD18-T vector via TA cloning. The reaction mixture consisted of 1 μL of pMD18-T vector, 1 μL of the amplified VPA1585 fragment, 3 μL of DEPC water, and 5 μL of Solttion I. The ligation reaction conditions were 16°C for 30 min. The resulting recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α competent cells and cultured overnight at 37°C on ampicillin (Amp)-resistant plates. Single colonies were picked and identified by sequencing to identify the positive clone, pMD18-T-VPA1585. The clone was further expanded in 5 mL of LB medium supplemented with 100 μg / mL Amp and cultured overnight at 37°C in an incubator at 220 rpm.
[0066] 2. Extract plasmid standard DNA and quantify its concentration and quality using Nanodrop. For the establishment of the qPCR standard curve for Vibrio parahaemolyticus: the number of nucleic acid copies per microliter of solution was converted based on the concentration of the extracted plasmid standard and the number of plasmid bases. The plasmid standard was diluted 10-fold and used as a template for establishing the qPCR standard curve; the qPCR primers used were qVPA1585-F: 5'-ATGAAAAATGGTCGTGCCGC-3' (SEQ ID NO.3) qVPA1585-R: '-TGCACGACTTTGGTCTTGGT-3' (SEQ ID NO.4); the reaction system was as follows: 10 μL of 2× Taq Pro Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Novozymes, China), 0.4 μL each of qVPA1585-F / R (10 μM), 1 μL of plasmid standard DNA, and 8.2 μL of DEPC water; the qPCR reaction procedure was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles (denaturation at 95°C for 10 s, annealing / extension at 60°C for 30 s); a standard curve was prepared based on the linear relationship between the Ct value and the logarithmic value of the plasmid standard copy number (e.g. Figure 2 shown).
[0067] Example 2: Design specific primers based on RAA isothermal amplification technology, screen the primer pairs with the best amplification efficiency, and optimize the reaction time and reaction temperature
[0068] Based on the VPA1585 gene (SEQ ID NO.25), RAA amplification primers were designed using Oligo7 software and NCBI Prime Blast online website.

The amplified product was identified by agarose gel electrophoresis ( Figure 3 ), by analyzing the gray value of the target band ( Figure 4 ), and the optimal primer was determined to be RAA-1-F / R.
[0069] After screening the best primers, the reaction was carried out at 33°C, 35°C, 37°C, 39°C, 41°C, and 43°C respectively to screen out the best reaction time, such as Figure 5 The optimal reaction temperature is 43°C; the reaction time is set to 5min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min, and 30min respectively.

The crRNA sequence was synthesized as a single-stranded oligonucleotide, gradient annealed to a double-stranded DNA, and cloned into the pMD18-T vector. The reaction system, reaction conditions, and subsequent positive clone plasmid screening process were as described in Example 1. The gradient annealing program was: 90°C for 4 minutes, 70°C for 10 minutes, 55°C for 10 minutes, 40°C for 10 minutes, and 25°C for 10 minutes.
