Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology and relates to a TnpB gene editing system suitable for Streptomyces, its construction, and application; in particular, to an engineered TnpB nuclease, a TnpB gene editing system, and a gene editing method suitable for Streptomyces. The engineered TnpB nuclease comprises a mutation based on a reference TnpB nuclease. The engineered TnpB and TnpB gene editing system of the present invention can achieve efficient and precise gene editing in Streptomyces; and compared to unengineered TnpB gene editing systems, the engineered TnpB nuclease and TnpB gene editing system of the present invention can significantly improve the editing efficiency of target genes. Background Art

[0002] Streptomyces is the largest genus in the Actinobacteria phylum. Its ability to produce structurally rich, widely active, and highly applicable secondary metabolites, combined with its potential to encode a vast array of new compounds, presents broad application prospects in fields such as medicine, health, food, industry, and agriculture. However, due to the characteristics of Streptomyces itself, such as the high GC content of its genome, the linear nature of its chromosomes, and the fact that most of its secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters are silent and unexpressed under experimental conditions, the development of new valuable secondary metabolites or the increase in production of known active secondary metabolites through systematic metabolic engineering using traditional homologous double crossover methods has been greatly limited. The current mainstream approach to secondary metabolite research and development is to utilize synthetic biology for efficient bottom-up exploration based on the genome, and possessing a powerful genetic operating system is the foundation for developing and improving existing secondary metabolites in Streptomyces.

[0003] However, the Streptomyces genome is large (8-10Mb) and has a high GC content (generally over 70%). Compared with other microorganisms, it is very difficult to complete genetic operations such as gene editing in Streptomyces, and the means of genetic manipulation are very limited. With the development of CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its application in Streptomyces, the problem of time-consuming and inefficient gene editing in Streptomyces has been alleviated to a great extent, effectively breaking the bottleneck of the lack of efficient genetic operations in the field of Streptomyces, and becoming the main gene editing tool currently applicable to Streptomyces. Although the CRISPR-Cas9 series of gene editing tools play an important role in Streptomyces gene editing, there are still many problems to be improved. For example, the size of CRISPR-Cas9 is too large, which affects the efficiency of plasmid construction and delivery; the high GC PAM sequence leads to potential high off-target effects (Off-target effects) and other problems.

[0004] To overcome the limitations of proteins like Cas9 due to their large size, researchers have systematically optimized and modified key components of the CRISPR-Cas system, including using orthologous Cas9 enzymes, modifying Cas9, and optimizing guide RNAs. Furthermore, they are exploring the application of novel gene-editing techniques, such as base editing and prime editing. Furthermore, researchers are continuously exploring and developing compact CRISPR proteins to develop novel CRISPR systems. TnpB, a recently discovered programmable nuclease approximately one-third the size of Cas9 (approximately 400 amino acids), is guided by a long noncoding RNA and can cleave DNA sequences 5' to the TTGAT region, attracting considerable attention from researchers both domestically and internationally. To date, TnpB has been successfully applied to edit endogenous genes in multiple species. However, compared to Cas9, TnpB and other reported compact gene-editing tools generally suffer from lower editing efficiency. More importantly, existing small gene editors have not yet been reported for editing in Streptomyces. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a TnpB gene editing system suitable for Streptomyces and its construction and application. In view of the current situation that mini gene editing tools are still lacking in Streptomyces and the common problem of low efficiency in editing with current mini gene editing tools, the present invention constructs a Streptomyces mini gene editing system between TnpB. On this basis, through in-depth analysis and rational design of the TnpB-DNA-RNA three-dimensional crystal structure, the TnpB nuclease is optimized and transformed, and an efficient Streptomyces mini gene editing system between TnpB nuclease is developed, which achieves precise and efficient editing of the Streptomyces genome in vivo, thereby enriching the Streptomyces gene manipulation tool library, promoting the study of the gene function of the Streptomyces silencing gene cluster, and providing a powerful enabling tool for precise modification of metabolic pathways and intelligent biomanufacturing.

[0006] To overcome the low editing efficiency of current mini-gene editors and further enrich the Streptomyces gene editing tool library, the present invention uses TnpB nuclease (only about 400 amino acids) as a basis to construct a Streptomyces mini-gene editing system based on TnpB. By analyzing the three-dimensional crystal structure of TnpB-DNA-RNA and rationally designing and engineering the TnpB nuclease, an efficient Streptomyces gene editing system based on the engineered TnpB nuclease and the corresponding gene editing methods and processes using this system were developed. The purpose of the present invention is to achieve this through the following technical solutions:

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a system for realizing efficient mini gene editing in Streptomyces, which comprises the above-mentioned engineered TnpB nuclease and its RNA guide box.

[0019] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides a gene editing method suitable for Streptomyces, and the gene editing method is specifically as follows: under non-induction conditions, the above-mentioned gene editing system is transferred into the target Streptomyces host by conjugation transfer, so that gene deletion or gene knock-in or replacement occurs near the target site of the host, resulting in frameshift mutation, thereby inactivating the target gene.

[0020] As an embodiment of the present invention, the gene editing method comprises the following steps:

[0021] S1. Under non-inducing conditions, the gene-editing plasmid constructed by the above method is transformed into the target host. Through homologous end ligation of Streptomyces itself, gene deletion, insertion, or replacement occurs near the target site, causing frameshift mutations, thereby inactivating the target gene; transformants carrying the target gene mutation are obtained through antibiotic screening related to plasmid resistance;

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the examples. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make several adjustments and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1: Engineering TnpB nuclease

[0033] 1.1 Plasmid design and construction

[0034] Based on the codon preference of Streptomyces, the TnpB nuclease from Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2 was codon-optimized and synthesized by GenScript Biotech Co., Ltd. The amino acid sequence of TnpB is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the gene sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2. In this invention, it is designated as wild-type TnpB and shares 79.74% DNA similarity with the TnpB nuclease from Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2.

[0035] The reRNA guide box for guiding the wild-type TnpB nuclease to perform double-stranded cutting near the endogenous target site of Streptomyces includes the following core elements in the direction from 5' to 3': the guide RNA base sequence of the TnpB protein (SEQ ID NO.3), the gene targeting segment, and the hepatitis D virus (HDV) ribozyme (SEQ ID NO.4). The gene targeting segment is located at the 3' end of the RNA backbone and is a nucleic acid fragment with a length of 12-40 bp following the TAM sequence (5'TTGAT) on the target gene. In the embodiment of the present invention, the key gene SCO5087 (actI) for the synthesis of actinomycetin in the model strain Streptomycin coelicolor A3 (2) (genome sequence number: GeneBank: GCA_008931305.1) is selected as the endogenous gene target of the cell. The base sequence of the gene targeting segment in the reRNA guide box corresponding to the target is 5'-gtagtcgatgtccgtcgcgt. The reRNA guide cassette used in the examples was synthesized by GenScript Biotech Co., Ltd.

[0036] The synthesized wild-type TnpB and its reRNA guide cassette were used to replace the Cas9 and sgRNA fragments on the Streptomyces-Escherichia coli shuttle plasmid vector pCRISPR-Cas9 (https: / / doi.org / 10.1021 / acssynbio.5b00038), respectively, to obtain the plasmid pTnpB-ZH.

[0037] Based on the crystal structure of the Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2-derived TnpB nuclease bound to its guide RNA and substrate DNA, 80 single-point mutations of TnpB were designed (Table 1). Using pTnpB-ZH as a template, mutations were introduced by inverse PCR (Table 2) to achieve site-directed mutagenesis of TnpB. The primers are shown in Table 3. The 2× MegaPfu Premix (with dye) was purchased from Tolo Biotech (Cat. No. 21809). The inverse PCR product was then purified (the kit was purchased from Nanjing Novozymes Biotech Co., Ltd.). Gel DNA Extraction Mini Kit, DC301); then, the purified PCR product was transferred into competent cells E. coli DH5α, and its own DNA recombination and repair system was used to achieve in vivo circularization of the linear DNA, thereby obtaining the TnpB optimized plasmid system.

[0038] The plasmids constructed in the present invention were subjected to Sanger sequencing to ensure complete accuracy.

[0054] Example 2: Application of the Optimized Streptomyces Mini-Editing System

[0055] 2.1 Conversion

[0056] The TnpB optimized target plasmids were transferred into the homemade competent cells E. coli ET12567 / pUZ8002 (https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / 0378-1119(92)90549-5) respectively. The specific operation method was as follows: 200 ng of TnpB optimized plasmids were added into 100 μL of thawed E. coli ET12567 / pUZ8002 competent cells were gently mixed; after standing on ice for 30 minutes, placed in a 42°C water bath for 45 seconds, and then immediately placed on ice for 2 minutes; then, added to 400 μL of LB liquid medium without antibiotics, and cultured at 37°C, 200 rpm for 1 hour; then 100 μL was spread on an LB solid plate containing kanamycin (25 μg / mL), chloramphenicol (12.5 μg / mL) and apramycin (50 μg / mL); after overnight culture at 37°C, single clones were picked and cultured in 20 mL of LB liquid medium containing kanamycin (25 μg / mL), chloramphenicol (12.5 μg / mL) and apramycin (50 μg / mL) until the OD 600 When the cell density was about 0.4, the cells were collected by centrifugation (5000 rpm, 5 minutes); an equal volume of antibiotic-free LB liquid medium was added to wash the cells twice, and finally the cells were resuspended in 2 mL of LB liquid medium.

[0057] 2.2 Binding transfer and resistance screening

[0058] Under non-inducing conditions, the plasmid in step 2.1 was transferred into S. coelicolor A3 (2) by conjugation transfer. The specific operation method is as follows: take the previously collected Streptomyces spores, centrifuge (5000 rpm, 5 minutes), discard the supernatant, and then resuspend in 2 mL 2×YT liquid culture medium; heat shock at 50℃ for 10 minutes, and then pre-germinate in a 30℃ shaker at 200 rpm for 30 minutes; take 500 μL of the E. coli culture collected in step 2.1 and 200 μL of the Streptomyces spore suspension in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and mix them evenly; take 100 μL of the mixture and spread it on an MS plate; incubate the MS plate in an incubator at 30℃ for 18 hours, cover the surface of the culture medium with apramycin (1 mg / mL) and nalidixic acid (1 mg / mL), wait for the surface to dry, and continue to incubate the MS plate in an inverted position at 30℃ until the conjugate grows (about 5 days). At this time, the successfully edited conjugate can be obtained.

[0059] Example 3: Evaluation of gene editing efficiency of the engineered TnpB system

[0060] The resistant conjugates in step 2.2 were randomly picked and streaked onto ISP2 solid culture medium containing plasmid resistance antibiotics (50 ng / mL apramycin) and thiostrepton (0.5 μg / mL), inverted, and cultured at 30°C until bacteria were visible; a small amount of bacteria was picked into a PCR tube containing 20 μL DMSO, and the cells were lysed in a metal bath (100°C, 15 minutes) to obtain cell lysate; the editing efficiency of the optimized TnpB system was systematically evaluated by colony PCR. The specific operation was as follows: the target site fragment was PCR amplified using the 2× Rapid Taq Master Mix (purchased from Nanjing Novozymes Biotech Co., Ltd., catalog number: P222-01) kit. The primer design is shown in Table 4, the PCR reaction system is shown in Table 5, and the PCR reaction procedure is shown in Table 6.

[0067]

[0068] This embodiment uses a combination of 2% agarose gel electrophoresis detection and Sanger sequencing or whole genome resequencing to determine whether the randomly selected binders are edited. The TnpB system cooperates with the defective non-homologous end joining of Streptomyces itself to achieve editing of the target gene, such as gene knockout, insertion, replacement, etc. If successfully edited, the band size of the above-mentioned PCR amplification product after 2% agarose gel electrophoresis is different from that of the wild type; for samples that cannot be judged by gel electrophoresis, the Weizan plasmid purification kit (item number: DC201) is used to purify and recover samples that cannot be judged by gel electrophoresis to determine whether they are edited and sent to Suzhou Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for Sanger sequencing analysis; for samples with no amplification products after PCR, the bacteria are collected and sent to Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for whole genome resequencing to further evaluate the gene editing situation. The results show that ( Figure 1-3), using the target gene SCO5087 (actI) in the model strain S. ceolicolor A3 (2) as the target, and after single point mutations in the TnpB site (A188V, S217K, N125G, Y179P, Y388A, S27C, L25F, V8K, G240R, H208K, T96R, H279T, V254S, R110K, S267R, R286L, F186K, E356A, I162N, Q210) relative to the wild-type TnpB system. N, H332S, H385C, V9Y, V200L, K111S, V9F, D333V, S57R) showed high gene editing efficiency, with an increase of at least 2 times in gene editing ability. Among them, the TnpB nuclease contained mutations at one of the amino acids at positions 356, 162, 210, 332, 385, 200, 111, 9, 333 and 57, and the editing efficiency was increased by 3.0-4.3 times.

[0069] Example 4: Inactivation of target genes using engineered TnpB enzymes

[0070] Under non-inducing conditions, the TnpB optimized plasmid system (S57R) was transferred into S. coelicolor A3 (2) by conjugation transfer, as in step 2.2. About 5 days later, resistant conjugates were randomly picked and streaked onto ISP2 solid culture medium with plasmid resistance antibiotics (50 ng / mL apramycin) and thiostrepton (0.5 μg / mL), inverted, cultured at 30°C, and pigment secretion was observed. In the present embodiment, the key gene SCO5087 (actI) for actinomycin synthesis was used as the endogenous gene target of the cell. When the target gene mutated, S. coelicolor A3 (2) could not secrete blue pigment. The target gene was detected by combining colony PCR or whole genome resequencing to determine whether the randomly selected conjugate was edited, as detailed in Example 3. The results of the target gene inactivation by the engineered TnpB nuclease (TnpB (S57V)) are shown in Figure 4 ; The strains with target gene mutations were cultured on the above-mentioned resistance plates for 2 weeks, and no blue pigment was secreted. This further illustrates that the engineered TnpB system combined with Streptomyces' own non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair method caused gene deletion or gene knock-in and replacement near the target site, resulting in a frameshift mutation in the target gene, thereby inactivating the target gene.

8. A recombinant expression plasmid vector for expressing the Streptomyces mini-gene editing system according to any one of claims 4 to 6.

9. An application of the Streptomyces mini gene editing system according to any one of claims 4 to 6 in Streptomyces genome editing based on double-strand breaks and Streptomyces self-repair system.

10. A gene editing method applicable to Streptomyces, characterized in that: Under non-inducing conditions, the Streptomyces mini gene editing system according to any one of claims 6 to 8 is transferred into the target Streptomyces host by conjugative transfer, so that gene deletion or gene knock-in or replacement occurs near the target site of the host, causing frameshift mutation, thereby inactivating the target gene.
