Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular biology, in particular to a cell-free cloning reaction system, a kit and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Molecular cloning is an indispensable step in the process of constructing recombinant expression vectors, and efficient and simple DNA fragment splicing and assembly technology directly affects the research efficiency and cost in the field of genetic engineering, synthetic biology and related fields. A current mainstream seamless DNA assembly technology is Gibson Assembly (Gibson cloning), which relies on the overlapping region between DNA fragments, and realizes seamless splicing of multiple DNA fragments through the synergistic effect of T5 exonuclease (Exo), DNA polymerase and DNA ligase in the same reaction system.

[0003] Although Gibson cloning shows strong adaptability and wide application scenarios in multi-fragment DNA splicing, it still has the following significant limitations in actual use: (1) design complexity and operation limitation: Gibson cloning requires that the DNA fragments to be spliced be pre-designed and constructed with 20-42 bp length of homologous overlapping region. With the increase of the number of spliced fragments, the difficulty of fragment design and primer synthesis is significantly improved, which reduces the flexibility and universality of operation; (2) reagent dependence and high cost: this method relies on commercial enzyme mixtures (usually containing T5 Exonuclease, Phusion DNA polymerase and Taq DNA ligase), and the overall reaction cost is high, especially when high-throughput and parallel construction is carried out, the economic burden is significant; (3) mutation rate and error splicing risk: each junction region in Gibson cloning may introduce mutations or mismatches due to inaccurate polymerase amplification or ligase splicing, especially in multi-fragment splicing or high GC content templates, the error rate and empty clone proportion are significantly increased; (4) splicing scale is limited: this technology has obvious efficiency decline when dealing with large fragments (>10 kb) or multi-fragment (>5) assembly, the success rate is nonlinearly attenuated with the number of splicing, which limits the application ability in complex pathway construction; (5) cell toxicity sequence is not easy to handle: Gibson cloning needs to obtain positive clones through cell transformation, if the inserted sequence encodes a cytotoxic protein or causes host burden, it is easy to cause cloning failure or low positive rate, which further increases the experimental period and cost; (6) strong dependence on reaction conditions: Gibson cloning is sensitive to DNA concentration, fragment ratio, overlapping region GC content, structure stability and other parameters, which puts high requirements on experimental design and system stability, and it is difficult to realize "ready-to-use" rapid splicing reaction.

[0004] Therefore, a rapid, low-cost, high-stability, and multi-scene adaptive cell-free cloning system continues to be developed. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present application provides a cell-free cloning reaction system, a kit and an application thereof. The present application significantly improves the positive rate and splicing efficiency of DNA splicing by optimizing the components of the cell lysis solution and the expression system, and exhibits better performance than Gibson cloning in complex situations such as multi-fragment splicing, and is expected to be widely popularized as the next generation of molecular cloning platform in scientific research and industry.

[0006] The present application provides a cell-free cloning reaction system, comprising a cell lysis solution, an inserted DNA fragment and a linear vector.

[0007] The cell lysis solution is obtained by lysing Escherichia coli after induction expression, and the Escherichia coli expresses a lambda Red system and a ligase system.

[0008] The lambda Red system comprises Exo protein, Beta protein and Gam protein.

[0009] The nucleotide sequence encoding the Exo protein is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, the nucleotide sequence encoding the Beta protein is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, and the nucleotide sequence encoding the Gam protein is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3.

[0010] The ligase system comprises DNA ligase.

[0011] The expression of the lambda Red system is controlled by an RBS sequence, and the nucleotide sequence of the RBS sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4.

[0012] In some embodiments, the Escherichia coli is selected from any one of DH10B, DH5α, BW25113, BL21(DE3), JM1165 or a genetically engineered strain thereof; preferably DH10B. The lysis solution prepared by the expression of Escherichia coli DH10B has the best cell-free splicing effect, can reduce non-specific recombination and endonuclease degradation of exogenous DNA, thereby improving the stability of the inserted fragment and the vector; the metabolic and protein folding environment of DH10B is more suitable for the activity of Exo, Beta, Gam and DNA ligase, and exhibits unique high-efficiency splicing effect in the system.

[0013] In some embodiments, the DNA ligase is selected from any one of T4 DNA ligase, T3 DNA ligase and T7 DNA ligase; preferably T4 DNA ligase, which has strong catalytic activity and substrate adaptability, can efficiently catalyze the ligation of cohesive ends and blunt ends of DNA, and still maintains high activity under conditions of low ATP or complex fragment splicing, thus the selection of T4 DNA ligase can provide more stable and efficient ligation reaction, thereby significantly improving the overall splicing effect.

[0014] In some embodiments, the number of inserted DNA fragments is ≥1, preferably 1-6, when the number of inserted DNA fragments is 1-6, the splicing efficiency and positive rate of the system can be maintained at a high level, which is more in line with the controllability and application requirements of experiments.

[0015] In some embodiments, the ligase system is expressed by a plasmid containing a p15A replication origin; the p15A replication origin is a medium copy number plasmid replication element, which can ensure sufficient expression of the ligase in the host cell, and can also avoid the burden on the host metabolism caused by too high copy number or protein misfolding; in addition, medium copy number is conducive to the stability of protein concentration in the lysate, thereby improving the controllability and repeatability of cell-free splicing reaction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the inserted DNA fragment comprises a homologous arm fragment, and the length of the homologous arm fragment is 15-45 bp; too short homologous arm may lead to decreased recombination efficiency, increasing the risk of error splicing or non-splicing; while too long homologous arm will increase the cost of DNA synthesis, the difficulty of fragment preparation and the complexity of the reaction system; preferably the length of 15-45 bp homologous arm can ensure the splicing efficiency and specificity, while taking into account the simplicity and economy of experimental operation.

[0017] In some embodiments, the reaction condition of the cell-free cloning reaction system is incubation at 25-37℃ for 10-60 min. The temperature range can ensure the activity of Exo, Beta, Gam protein and DNA ligase in the system, and can also maintain the stability of the reaction system; the incubation time takes into account the reaction sufficiency and operation efficiency, which can complete the efficient splicing of the inserted fragment and the linear vector in a short time, while avoiding DNA fragment degradation or side reactions caused by long time incubation.

[0018] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the cell lysate comprises the following steps:

[0019] (1) placing the RBS sequence upstream of the start codon of the Exo protein, Beta protein and Gam protein coding sequence to obtain a λRed expression plasmid;

[0020] (2) inoculate the host strain of the lambda Red expression plasmid and the ligase expression plasmid into LB liquid medium containing antibiotics for pre-culture;

[0021] (3) dilute and inoculate the bacterial liquid after culture in (2) into LB liquid medium and culture until OD 600 is 0.5-1, to obtain bacterial liquid 1;

[0022] (4) add IPTG to the bacterial liquid 1, and harvest the bacterial body after continuous induction for 8-12 hours;

[0023] (5) use Tris-HCl buffer containing triton X-100 to lyse the bacterial body obtained in (4) to obtain the cell lysate.

[0024] In some embodiments, in step (4), the concentration of IPTG is 0.5-1 mM.

[0025] The application also provides a cell-free cloning reaction kit comprising the cell lysate.

[0026] The application also provides the application of the cell-free cloning reaction system in molecular cloning, plasmid construction, library construction or gene path assembly.

[0027] In summary, compared with the prior art, the application achieves the following technical effects:

[0028] 1. The application provides a rapid, inexpensive and efficient cell-free cloning reaction system based on the lambda Red system and the ligase system, which comprises the following steps: through codon optimization of key proteins of the lambda Red system, fine regulation of the RBS sequence, and synergistic design with the ligase system, an engineered cell lysate is constructed, the lysate contains Exo, Beta, Gam proteins and DNA ligase after expression, no additional single-component enzyme or enzyme mixture needs to be added, the experimental process is simplified, human errors and compatibility problems between enzymes are avoided; the prepared lysate can be mixed with glycerol for cryopreservation, only 1 μL needs to be thawed for direct use, which is convenient for laboratory daily use and high-throughput automated splicing platform construction.

[0029] 2. The optimized lambda Red system and the high-efficiency DNA ligase system can complete the high-efficiency splicing of multiple DNA fragments in 15 minutes at 37℃, and still maintain a high positive rate in multiple fragment assembly systems, wherein in a splicing cloning of up to 6 fragments, the positive rate can be as high as 99%, which is better than Gibson cloning, effectively reducing the workload of subsequent verification and screening, and improving the overall experimental efficiency and reliability.

[0030] 3. The cell lysis buffer used in this invention is obtained by fermentation and low-cost lysis of common E. coli, avoiding the use of expensive commercial enzyme mixtures. The overall reaction cost is reduced by nearly 100 times compared to the Gibson reaction, making it more suitable for large-scale construction or high-throughput screening platforms.

[0031] 4. This invention solves the problem of inconsistent enzyme expression in different batches of cell lysates by expressing ligase on plasmids containing the p15A replication origin, effectively improving system stability and batch-to-batch consistency, making it suitable for industrial and commercial preparation.

[0045] In order to make the personnel in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely, obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] Although the cell lysate of RecA deletion type E. coli such as DH10B, DH5a, BW25113, BL21(DE3), JM1165, etc. has certain in vitro homologous recombination activity in nature, which can be used to clone PCR fragments with short homologous arms into vectors as an alternative to Gibson assembly, but the method has low assembly efficiency under the condition of short homologous arms (such as 15-20 bp), which is mainly limited by low colony formation rate, and it is difficult to meet the demand of efficient and rapid molecular cloning. The present application significantly improves the assembly efficiency and stability of the lysate in multi-fragment seamless assembly by introducing and expressing the optimized lambda Red system and DNA ligase system from different sources. The lambda Red system comprises three core protein components: Exo protein, Beta protein and Gam protein, which are indispensable. Among them, the Gam protein prevents the endogenous RecBCD and SbcCD nucleases from digesting the linear DNA introduced into E. coli; Exo protein: has 5' to 3' exonuclease activity, which specifically degrades the 5' end of double-stranded DNA, can gradually degrade the 5' end of the exogenous linear double-stranded DNA, and produce a partial double-stranded structure with a 3' single-stranded overhang, or directly form complete single-stranded DNA when the DNA fragment is short. These processed DNAs are necessary intermediates for subsequent Beta protein recognition and annealing; Beta protein protects the single-stranded DNA produced by Exo and promotes its annealing with the complementary single-stranded DNA target in the cell. Only the expression of Beta is required for recombination with ssDNA oligonucleotide substrates. The components are codon-optimized and ribosome binding site (RBS) regulatory sequences are optimized, wherein the optimized RBS sequence is: TTTTTATAAGCGTCGACTGTTTCCTGTGTGAAA (SEQ ID NO. 4).

[0047] The cell lysate system constructed in the present application can complete seamless assembly within 15 minutes, maintain a positive rate of >99% in cloning tasks of up to 6 fragments, and the overall cost is reduced by nearly 100 times compared with Gibson reaction, which is a new type of cell-free cloning platform with high efficiency, low cost and fast response characteristics.

[0048] The experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The materials, reagents, etc. used are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0049] Example 1 Construction and induced expression of lambda Red system

[0050] The construction and induced expression of the optimized lambda Red system include Figure 1 as shown, comprising the following steps:

[0051] First, the plasmid containing the optimized Exo, Beta, Gam three lambda Red recombination elements (as shown in Figure 10 ) and the plasmid carrying pET-T4 ligase (T4 DNA ligase, nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 5) (plasmid map as shown in Figure 11 ) were co-transfected into the target DH10B E. coli strain to obtain the transformed bacteria. The transformed bacteria were inoculated on a double-antibiotic plate containing Carbenicillin (100 μg / mL) and Chloramphenicol (50 μg / mL), and incubated at 37°C overnight to screen single colonies. The positive single colony was selected and inoculated into 5 mL of LB liquid medium, and incubated at 37°C, 220 rpm overnight. The next day, the bacterial solution was diluted 1:100 into 50 mL of fresh LB medium, and continued to be incubated at 37°C, 220 rpm. When the OD 600 reached 0.5-1.0, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1 mM, and the induction was continued at 25°C, 220 rpm overnight to promote the full expression of lambda Red protein and T4 DNA ligase.

[0052] The induced bacterial solution was centrifuged at 4°C, 5000 rcf for 15 minutes to remove the supernatant, and the cell pellet was collected. The pellet can be used immediately or stored at -80°C for later use. For the reaction required bacterial solution, 1.2 mL of lysis solution was used to incubate the cell pellet at room temperature for 10 minutes to lyse the cells completely. The lysis solution was Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) containing 5% v / v Triton X-100. Then, 300 μL of 100% glycerol was added in equal volume, and the final glycerol concentration in the lysis solution was 50% v / v. The cell lysate can be aliquoted 50 μL / tube and stored at -20°C for at least 6 months, and only 1 μL is needed for each DNA assembly.

[0070] Each group was incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes, and the reaction solution was directly used for competent transformation and plate culture. After plate culture, the number of positive clones was counted, and clones were randomly picked for specific PCR confirmation, and the positive rate was calculated.

[0077] The results are shown in Figure 8 As shown, the multi-fragment GBA can be successfully assembled, and T4 has a very significant difference with WT, but unlike before, the assembly efficiency of λRed system and T4 Ligase is not as good as that of T4 Ligase alone. In general, the presence of T4 Ligase promotes the assembly of multi-DNA fragments, which is significantly better than WT, P Value <0.0001; during the multi-fragment assembly process, the positive clone rate of this embodiment is significantly better than that of GBA.
