Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of enzyme engineering technology, and more specifically to an acyl-CoA synthase from camellia oleifera and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oilseed tree species in my country, possessing extremely high medicinal and economic value. The camellia oil cake, obtained after oil extraction from camellia seeds, contains various active substances, including camellia saponins. Camellia triterpenoid saponins exhibit significant biological activity; various camellia saponin monomers have been isolated and identified, demonstrating anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial pharmacological activities. Most of the camellia triterpenoid saponins with anticancer activity are modified with an angelic acyl group. The angelic acyl modification donor is angelic acyl-CoA, whose synthesis depends on the catalysis of angelic acyl-CoA synthase. Currently, the biosynthesis of camellia triterpenoid saponins has not been reported, research on camellia acyl-CoA synthase is scarce, and research on camellia angelic acyl-CoA synthase is entirely lacking. Obtaining angelic acyl-CoA from other methods is also quite difficult.

[0036]

[0037] The amino acid sequence alignment of CoCCL1 with sequences of genes identified in the literature that possess angelic acyl-CoA synthesis function is shown below. Figure 1 The results show that the structures are highly similar and have the same conserved structural domains, and the functions of CoCCL1 can be preliminarily predicted.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] CoCCL1 gene cloning

[0040] RNA extraction:

[0041] RNA was extracted from different tissues of Camellia oleifera using liquid nitrogen grinding, and the steps are as follows:

[0042] (1) Grind fresh or frozen camellia oil material into fine powder in liquid nitrogen.

[0043] (2) Take about 200 mg of fine powder into 1 mL of preheated lysis buffer CLB (with added β-mercaptoethanol), and mix the lysis buffer and plant sample by pipetting with a pipette tip. The lysis buffer can cut DNA, reduce viscosity and increase yield.

[0044] (3) Place in a 65℃ metal bath for 10 minutes, and invert the centrifuge tube twice during the lysis process to help with the lysis.

[0045] (4) Centrifuge the lysate at 13000 rpm for 10 min to precipitate the fragments that cannot be lysed.

[0046] (5) Transfer the supernatant of the lysate to a new centrifuge tube, add half the volume of anhydrous ethanol to the supernatant and immediately mix by pipetting, do not centrifuge.

[0047] (6) Add the mixture to a genome clearance column, place the clearance column into a collection tube, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2 min, and discard the waste liquid.

[0048] (7) Place the genomic DNA removal column in a clean 2mL centrifuge tube, add 500μL of lysis buffer RLT Plus, centrifuge at 13000rpm for 30s, collect the filtrate (RNA is in the filtrate), accurately estimate the volume of the filtrate with a pipette, add 0.5 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol to the filtrate, mix immediately by pipetting, do not centrifuge.

[0049] (8) Add the mixture to an adsorption column RA, place the adsorption column in a collection tube, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2 min, and discard the waste liquid.

[0050] (9) Add 700 μL of protein removal solution RW1, place at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30 s, and discard the waste liquid.

[0051] (10) Add 500 μL of rinsing buffer RW containing anhydrous ethanol, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30 s, and discard the waste liquid. Add 500 μL of rinsing buffer RW and repeat once.

[0052] (11) Repeat centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 2 min to thoroughly remove the rinsing solution.

[0053] (12) Take out the adsorption column RA and put it into a new centrifuge tube without RNase. Add 50 μL of RNase-free water preheated at 70℃ to the middle of the adsorption membrane, let it stand at room temperature for 1 min, and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min.

[0054] (13) Use an ELISA reader to determine the RNA concentration. If the expected RNA yield is >30 μg, add 30-50 μL of RNase free water and repeat step (12). Combine the two liquids, or use the first elution buffer to add back to the adsorption column and repeat the step once.

[0055] RNA is reverse transcribed into cDNA:

[0056] cDNA synthesis was performed using a full-gold reverse transcription kit. The steps are as follows, and the reaction system is shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1. RNA reverse transcription to cDNA reaction system

[0058]

[0059] The reaction procedure was as follows: 42℃ for 30 min, 85℃ for 5 s, and stored at 12℃.

[0060] Using cDNA as a template, the target gene CoCCL1 was amplified by PCR. The reaction system is shown in Table 2.

[0061] Table 2. CoCCL1 gene cloning reaction system

[0062]

[0063] The reaction procedure was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 3 min, denaturation at 95℃ for 15 s, annealing at 58℃ for 15 s, extension at 72℃ for 2:30 min (1 min / 1 kb), final extension at 72℃ for 5 min, storage at 12℃, and infinity.

[0064] Phanta Max MasterMix requires the addition of loading buffer; 20 μL of the product to be detected requires the addition of 4 μL of loading buffer. To increase product recovery efficiency, three replicate samples can be spotted together for easy gel cutting and recovery.

[0065] Among them, the primers in Table 2 are designed to be located in the uncoding regions (UTRs) at both ends of the gene, which can encode the full-length gene.

[0066] PCR products were detected by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis;

[0067] After PCR products were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, the target gene bands were detected in a gel imaging system, and the gel was recovered using the GeneJET gel recovery kit.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] Construction of engineered bacteria

[0070] The ligation vector pClone007 Versatile Simple Vector (purchased from Chintech Gene Co., Ltd. TSV-007VS) was used, and the ligation system is shown in Table 3.

[0071] Table 3. Target gene fragment ligation cloning vector system

[0072]

[0073] The ligation system was placed in a PCR instrument and reacted at 25°C for 10 min. Immediately after ligation, it was transformed into E. coli clone strain DH5α competent cells. The transformation steps are as follows:

[0074] (1) Take 100 μL of competent cells thawed on ice (only thaw on ice), add 10 μL of ligation product to the competent cells, mix gently with a pipette, and let stand on ice for 25 min. The vector and competent cells are usually divided into 2 or 3 portions, i.e., 33 or 50 μL each.

[0075] (2) Heat shock in a 42℃ water bath for 45-60 seconds, then quickly transfer to an ice bath and let stand for 2 minutes. Do not shake the sample during the standing process on ice. The temperature and time in this step must be very accurate, and the sample must not be shaken.

[0076] (3) Add 700 μL of antibiotic-free liquid LB medium to a centrifuge tube, mix well, and shake at 37°C and 200 rpm for 1 h to recover. After recovery, centrifuge at 4000 rpm to enrich the bacterial cells.

[0077] (4) Invert the centrifuge tube to discard the culture medium, leaving about 100 μL of culture medium and bacterial cells. Mix the bacterial cells by pipetting, and spread the bacterial solution evenly onto LB medium plates containing Amp antibiotic. Invert the plates and incubate them in a 37°C incubator for 12-16 hours.

[0078] After the strain grows on the plate, a positive clone test is required to ensure that the recombinant vector has been successfully transferred into the strain. The method is as follows:

[0079] PCR testing:

[0080] Bacterial PCR identification was performed using 2×T5 SuperPCRMix (Colony). A single colony was picked with a pipette tip and added to 1 mL of ampicillin-resistant LB medium. The culture was incubated at 37°C and 200 rpm for 6 h. 1 μL of the bacterial culture was used as a template for identification using the universal primers M13F / M13R.

[0081] The PCR reaction system is shown in Table 4:

[0082] Table 4. PCR system for detecting positive clones of clonal strains

[0083]

[0084] The reaction procedure was as follows: pre-denaturation at 98℃ for 1 min; denaturation at 98℃ for 10 s; annealing at 60℃ for 10 s; extension at 72℃ for 20 s; 35 cycles; final extension at 72℃ for 2 min; and storage at 12℃.

[0085] Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect the bands. Positive clones containing the target band were preserved and sent to the company for sequencing.

[0086] The sequencing results were compared with the Camellia oleifera genome screening results, and sequences that matched the comparison results were used for subsequent experiments.

[0087] After successful sequencing, primers for the pGEX-4T-1-CCL expression vector were designed, and the target gene fragment was cloned using the above-mentioned positive bacterial species as templates. PCR was performed according to the reaction conditions in Table 5.

[0088] The primer sequences are:

[0089] The forward primer F-gatctggttccgcgtggatccatggtggaagagagagacatagacg, as shown in SEQ ID No. 5;

[0090] The reverse primer R-gacccatggagtctagaattcttataacctgctgacactgacagatcc, as shown in SEQ ID No. 6.

[0091] (Among them, the gatctggttccgcgtggatcc part of the forward primer and the gacccatggagtctagaattc part of the reverse primer are the homologous arm parts of homologous recombination).

[0092] Table 5. Target gene cloning system

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] Place the sample in a PCR instrument and run the following reaction program: pre-denaturation at 94℃ for 5 min; 35 cycles: 94℃ for 30 s, 66℃ for 30 s, 72℃ for 2 min; final extension at 72℃ for 7 min; store at 12℃.

[0096] The expression vector pGEX-4T-1 was linearized by double enzyme digestion. The enzyme digestion system is shown in Table 6.

[0097] Table 6. Enzyme digestion system of expression vector pGEX-4T-1

[0098]

[0099] Enzyme digestion at 37℃ for 1 hour, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis of the PCR product and linearized vector. After obtaining the target band, the gel was recovered (using a gel recovery kit).

[0100] The pGEX-4T-1-CCL recombinant vector was constructed using homologous recombinase. The ligation system was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The ligation system of the recombinant vector is shown in Table 7.

[0101] Table 7 Recombinant Vector Linkage System

[0102]

[0103] The reaction was carried out at 37℃ for 30 min, and immediately cooled on ice afterward to obtain a recombinant vector containing the target fragment. After cooling on ice, the recombinant product was transformed into competent *E. coli* cells. Single clones were selected from plate cultures for further culture, and positive clones were detected by PCR using primers for the pGEX-4T-1-CCL expression vector. Plasmids were extracted from the bacterial cultures containing the target band using the Tiangen plasmid extraction kit (see [link to Tiangen plasmid extraction kit]). Figure 2 ), and detect plasmid concentration.

[0109] (2) Inoculate 6 mL into 200 mL of LB liquid medium and incubate at 37°C with shaking for about 4-6 hours until OD. 600 Once the concentration reaches 0.6, 1 mL of bacterial culture is retained as a control sample before induction.

[0110] (3) During induction, set IPTG concentration gradients of 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, 0.75 mM, and 1 mM; temperature gradients of 12℃, 16℃, 20℃, 25℃, and 37℃; and time gradients of 12 h, 16 h, and 20 h. Record OD after induction. 600 value;

[0111] (4) After induction, collect bacterial cells by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 1 min at 4°C. Wash the cells with 5 mL of 50 mM PBS buffer (pH 7.3), centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 1 min at 4°C, remove the supernatant, and resuspend the cells in pre-cooled 1×PBS buffer until OD. 600 The value was 15. 200 μL of sample was taken as the pre-ultrasound sample and placed on ice for ultrasonic disruption for 20 min. The ultrasonication was stopped for 3 seconds every 3 seconds, and the power was set to 50%.

[0112] (5) After the ultrasound is completed, centrifuge at 4℃ and 12000rpm for 5min to separate the supernatant and precipitate. Transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube.

[0113] The supernatant of the sample before induction and the supernatant of the sample before and after sonication were detected by SDS-PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

[0114] After protein electrophoresis, the bands were observed using Coomassie brilliant blue staining.

[0115] Experimental conclusion: The optimal induction conditions for *E. coli* are: induction temperature 20℃, IPTG concentration 0.25mM, and induction time 16h. (Appendix) Figure 3 )

[0116] Example 4

[0117] Protein purification

[0118] The target protein was purified using GST protein purification media, and the steps are as follows:

[0119] (1) Gravity column loading: Install a sieve plate at the bottom of the gravity column, rinse the gravity column and sieve plate with pure water, take 3 mL of the mixed medium and load it into the gravity column; add pure water to clean the medium, and then use equilibration solution to clean the medium. Repeat 3 times.

[0120] (2) After sonication, the sample was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 45 μm filter membrane and then added to a gravity column.
