Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a tool for deleting large DNA fragments of Streptomyces, a recombinant plasmid thereof and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Editing large fragments of microbial genomic DNA is an important technical means for genome simplification, metabolic pathway optimization and genetic research. Streptomyces is the largest genus among actinomycetes. It is considered to be a group with great development value because it can produce a large number of valuable active secondary metabolites and its genome also contains rich silent biosynthetic gene clusters. However, due to its large genome (8-10Mb) and high GC content (generally GC content exceeds 70%), genetic operations such as gene editing of Streptomyces are very difficult compared to other microorganisms. The means of genetic manipulation are very limited, especially when editing large fragments of the genome, there is a lack of effective tools.
[0003] The TnpB protein is a programmable nuclease recently discovered in transposon systems. It may be an evolutionary ancestor of the Cas12 protein. It is guided by a long noncoding RNA of approximately 231 nt to cleave a DNA sequence near the 5' end of the TTGAT target. Its size is only about one-third that of the Cas protein (approximately 400 amino acids), making it a highly sought-after target by researchers both domestically and internationally. To date, TnpB nucleases have been successfully applied to endogenous gene editing in a variety of species, including human cells, mouse embryos, and monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Researchers have also conducted large-scale, systematic research and study on the widespread distribution of TnpB nucleases in organisms, identifying multiple TnpB species with targeted editing activity. However, compared to Cas9, TnpB, like other compact gene editing tools, suffers from low editing efficiency. More importantly, existing small editors have not yet been reported for gene editing in Streptomyces.
[0004] Patent CN113528408B discloses a method and application for efficient large-scale genome deletion based on the CRISPR-nCas3 system, which is mainly applied to Zymomonas mobilis and similar cells. Zymomonas mobilis and similar bacteria have significant differences in physiological characteristics from Streptomyces. Zymomonas mobilis and similar bacteria are Gram-negative bacteria with small genomes (~2-3Mbp), while Streptomyces are Gram-positive bacteria with large genomes (~8-12Mbp), GC content of more than 70%, and multi-copy genes and repetitive sequences. There are significant challenges in applying CRISPR-nCas3-based large-scale deletion technology to Streptomyces genome editing. Multiple obstacles such as delivery efficiency, genome complexity, and genetic tool compatibility need to be overcome, resulting in its high difficulty in application in Streptomyces. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the current situation that there is still a lack of large-fragment genome editing tools in Streptomyces, the present invention deeply analyzes the core elements and action mechanisms of the small-volume, programmable TnpB nuclease for gene editing. By utilizing the TnpB system and homologous recombination system, an efficient large-fragment gene editing tool suitable for Streptomyces is developed, thereby achieving efficient editing of large-fragment gene regions in Streptomyces. This provides a powerful set of tools for conducting basic and applied research in Streptomyces, and promotes the development of metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a tool for deleting large DNA fragments of Streptomyces, a recombinant plasmid thereof and its application.

[0012] As some specific embodiments of the present invention, the TnpB nuclease is a codon-optimized TnpB nuclease that can be expressed in Streptomyces, and its DNA similarity with its wild-type TnpB derived from Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2 is 79.74%; the amino acid sequence of the TnpB nuclease is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a recombinant plasmid comprising the Streptomyces DNA large fragment deletion tool described above. The recombinant plasmid is a Streptomyces DNA large fragment deletion plasmid containing an apramycin resistance selection marker.
[0014] As some specific embodiments of the present invention, the recombinant plasmid is constructed by inserting TnpB nuclease, guide RNA, and DNA large fragment deletion cassette into the Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle plasmid.

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments 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, for those skilled in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] The present invention uses the model strain Streptomyces coelicolor M145 as the target strain, whose genome sequence number is GeneBank: GCA_008931305.1. The present invention uses SCO5087 (actI), a key gene for actinoporin synthesis in this strain, as the endogenous gene target, with the goal of deleting the actinoporin synthesis gene cluster to test the editing efficiency of the present invention.
[0039] Example 1: Construction of a tool for deleting large DNA fragments in Streptomyces
[0040] 1.1 Plasmid design and construction
[0041] Based on the codon preference of Streptomyces, the TnpB nuclease from Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2 was codon-optimized. The optimized TnpB nuclease has a DNA similarity of 79.74% with the TnpB nuclease from the wild type of Deinococcus radiodurans ISDra2. The amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.
[0042] The guide RNA, named reRNA, consists of the following core components, arranged from the 5' to the 3' end: an RNA backbone (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3), a gene-targeting region (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 4 when targeting the SCO5087 gene as described above), and a hepatitis D virus (HDV) ribozyme (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 5). All of these gene fragments were synthesized by GenScript Biotech Co., Ltd.
[0043] The codon-optimized TnpB nuclease and reRNA-ZH 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-reRNA.
[0044] The plasmid pTnpB-reRNA was then digested with SphI endonuclease to obtain linearized pTnpB-reRNA. The gene knockout cassette consisting of the upstream and downstream homology arms of the target gene was then seamlessly cloned and assembled with the linearized plasmid vector pTnpB-reRNA (the kit was purchased from Vazyme, ClonExpress Ultra One Step Cloning Kit) to obtain the plasmid pSTAGE-BGC (plasmid map shown in Figure 2). Figure 1 shown).
[0045] The present invention uses the key gene SCO5087 (actI) for actinorhodin synthesis as an endogenous gene target, designs and constructs plasmids pSTAGE-BGC with upstream and downstream homology arms of approximately 1.0 kb, 1.5 kb, 2.0 kb, and 2.5 kb, respectively, and names them pSTAGE-BGC-1.0 kb, pSTAGE-BGC-1.5 kb, pSTAGE-BGC-2.0 kb, and pSTAGE-BGC-2.5 kb for knocking out the actinorhodin synthesis gene cluster (17.4 kb). Among them, the upstream homology arm sequence of approximately 1.0 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 6, and the downstream homology arm sequence of approximately 1.0 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 7; the upstream homology arm sequence of approximately 1.5 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 8, and the downstream homology arm sequence of approximately 1.5 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 9; the upstream homology arm sequence of approximately 2.0 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 10, and the downstream homology arm sequence of approximately 2.0 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 11; the upstream homology arm sequence of approximately 2.5 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 12, and the downstream homology arm sequence of approximately 2.5 kb in length is shown in SEQ ID NO. 13. All constructed plasmids were subjected to Sanger sequencing to ensure complete accuracy.
[0046] Example 2: Application of the Streptomyces Efficient Ultra-mini Editing System
[0047] 2.1 Conversion
[0048] The target plasmid constructed in Example 1 was transformed into E. coli ET12567 / pUZ8002 (https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / 0378-1119(92)90549-5) competent cells for plasmid amplification. The specific method is as follows:
[0049] 200 ng of plasmid was added to 100 μL of thawed homemade competent cells E. coli ET12567 / pUZ8002, and the tube wall was gently tapped to mix; after standing on ice for 30 minutes, it was placed in a 42°C water bath for 45 seconds, and then immediately placed on ice for 2-3 minutes; then, antibiotic-free LB liquid medium was added, and cultured at 200 rpm and 37°C for 1 hour; then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes, and 900 μL of supernatant was discarded; the cells were resuspended in the remaining culture medium and added to a 1% PBS containing kanamycin (25 μg / mL), chloramphenicol (12.5 μg / mL) and apramycin (50 μg / mL). mL) solid LB plates and gently spread evenly with a sterile spreader; after overnight incubation at 37°C, single colonies were picked and cultured in 20 mL of LB liquid medium containing 25 μg / mL kanamycin, 12.5 μg / mL chloramphenicol, and 50 μg / mL apramycin. When the culture OD600 reached approximately 0.4, the cells were collected by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes; 20 mL of antibiotic-free LB liquid medium was added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and this step was repeated twice; finally, the cells were resuspended in 2 mL of LB liquid medium.
[0050] 2.2. Binding transfer and resistance screening
[0051] Under non-inducing conditions, the plasmid from E. coli in step 2.1 was transferred into Streptomyces coelicolor M145 by conjugation as follows:
[0052] Take the previously collected Streptomyces spores, centrifuge at 5000rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, resuspend the bacteria in 2mL 2×YT liquid medium, place the centrifuge tube containing the spores in a 50℃ water bath for 10 minutes, and then pre-germinate in a shaker at 200rpm and 30℃ for 30 minutes; take 500μL of the E. coli culture collected in step 2.1 and place it in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube containing 200μL of Streptomyces spore suspension, mediate and mix; take 200μL of the mixture and evenly spread it on an MS plate; invert the MS plate and culture it in a 30℃ incubator. After 18 hours, cover the surface of the culture medium with 1mg / mL apramycin and 1mg / mL nalidixic acid. After the surface is dry, continue to invert the MS plate at 30℃ and culture it until the conjugate grows (about 5 days). At this point, the successfully edited conjugate is obtained.
[0053] Example 3: Evaluation of gene editing efficiency
[0054] The single clones obtained in step 2.2 were randomly picked and streaked onto ISP2 solid medium containing plasmid resistance antibiotics (50 μg / mL apramycin, 100 μg / mL nalidixic acid) and 0.5 μg / mL thiostrepton. The culture was inverted and cultured at 30°C for 14 days. The phenotypic changes were observed to evaluate the editing efficiency of different large DNA fragment knockout systems. Some results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 From left to right, the images represent randomly selected colonies from E. coli strains harboring pSTAGE-BGC-1.0kb, pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb, pSTAGE-BGC-2.0kb, and pSTAGE-BGC-2.5kb plasmids, respectively, after transfer into S. coelicolor M145. If the actinomycetourin biosynthesis gene cluster is successfully knocked out, the mutant strain will be unable to synthesize rhodopsin, resulting in colorless or lighter colonies. After 14 days of culture, the number of randomly selected colonies growing on solid resistance selection medium that were colorless or lighter increased with increasing homology arm length, demonstrating that pSTAGE-BGC can successfully knock out large target gene fragments in the Streptomyces model strain S. coelicolor M145. Extending the homology arm length improves the efficiency of large fragment knockout in Streptomyces.
[0055] The monoclonal clones edited with pSTAGE-BGC-1.0kb and pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb in step 2.2 were picked and streaked onto ISP2 solid medium containing plasmid-resistant antibiotics (50 μg / mL apramycin, 100 μg / mL nalidixic acid) and 0.5 μg / mL thiostrepton. The cells were inverted and cultured at 30°C until bacteria were visible. A small amount of bacteria was picked and placed in a PCR tube containing 20 μL DMSO. The tube was placed at 100°C for 15 minutes and then refrigerated at -20°C for 30 minutes. This step was repeated twice to fully lyse the cells and obtain cell lysate. Then, NEB was used to lyse the cells. The target site fragment was amplified by PCR using the High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (Cat. No.: M0492) kit. The primer design is shown in Table 1, the PCR reaction system is shown in Table 2, and the PCR reaction procedure is shown in Table 3.

[0061]
[0062] The PCR amplification products were subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the randomly picked colonies grown in the resistance solid screening medium have PCR products and the size is consistent with the theoretical one, indicating that the single clone has successfully knocked out the large fragment of the target gene. Figure 4 Lane 1-8 and Figure 5 Lanes 1-7 show some randomly picked single clones after E. coli containing pSTAGE-BGC-1.0kb plasmid and pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb plasmid were combined and transferred with S. coelicolor M145. If the target gene large fragment is successfully knocked out, the theoretical PCR band size should be 1702bp ( Figure 3 ), if the actinomycin synthesis gene cluster was not knocked out, the corresponding PCR product could not be detected in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis.
[0063] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the pSTAGE-BGC-1.0kb plasmid editing group, no PCR product that met the theoretical size (1702bp) was detected in any of the 8 single clones, indicating that pSTAGE-BGC-1.0kb failed to efficiently knock out the large fragment of the target gene (actinopurpurogenous gene cluster). Figure 5 As shown, among the 7 single clones in the pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb editing group, 5 detected PCR products that met the theoretical size (1702bp). These 5 single clones successfully knocked out the actinomycetoma rhodopsin synthesis gene cluster. Therefore, pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb can successfully knock out large fragments of the target gene in the Streptomyces model strain S. ceolicolor M145. Figure 5 Only the PCR test results of some randomly selected monoclonal clones are shown. Analysis of all randomly selected pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb binder monoclonal clones showed that the number of strain clones with successful knockout of the actinomycetoma rhodopsin synthesis gene cluster was approximately 50%, indicating that the knockout efficiency of pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb was 50%.
[0064] The PCR product was then purified and recovered using the WeiZan Plasmid Purification Kit (Cat. No. DC201) and sent to Suzhou Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for Sanger sequencing analysis. Figure 6 The figure shows the Sanger sequencing results of some monoclonal fragments of the target gene in the pSTAGE-BGC-1.5kb knockout Streptomyces model strain S.ceolicolor M145. Figure 6 Only mutant 1 and mutant 5 (corresponding to Figure 5 The sequencing results of Lane 1 and Lane 5 in the sequence of the PCR product indicated that the large gene fragment of the actinorhodin synthesis gene cluster with a length of 1702 bp was successfully knocked out.
[0065] In summary, the length of the homology arms is crucial for knocking out large fragments of the target gene, and the length of the upstream and downstream homology arms needs to be around 1.5 kb or longer. The above results fully demonstrate that the Streptomyces gene large fragment deletion tool obtained by the present invention can effectively mediate the deletion of large fragments of Streptomyces genes.
[0066] The culture medium used in the above examples is as follows:
[0067] LB medium: Weigh 10 g tryptone, 5 g yeast extract, and 10 g sodium chloride, dissolve in 1 L ddH2O, sterilize at 115°C for 30 minutes, and store at room temperature until ready to use. If preparing solid medium, add 2% agar powder.
