Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a high-fidelity DNA polymerase, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Synthetic biology, through the design of genetic elements or genomes, enables bioengineering or empowerment, and has enormous application potential in biology, medicine, agriculture, energy, and environmental protection. Current methods for directly synthesizing DNA have limitations in length; DNA assembly is fundamental to the synthesis of genetic elements, long DNA fragments, or genomes, and is a key technology in synthetic biology.
[0003] DNA polymerases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides to form DNA chains, playing an irreplaceable core role in DNA replication, repair, and molecular biology experiments. Their performance directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of gene amplification, sequencing, cloning, and genome assembly technologies, thus having significant application value in genetic engineering, biomedical research and development, agricultural breeding, and clinical diagnostics. DNA polymerases can efficiently and rapidly assemble oligonucleotide fragments together; Taq DNA polymerase is a commonly used example. However, Taq DNA polymerase lacks 3'→5' exonuclease proofreading activity, making it unsuitable for assembling long DNA fragments. For the assembly of long DNA fragments, DNA polymerases need to possess three characteristics: first, high-temperature stability, maintaining activity during multiple thermal cycles; second, high continuous synthesis capacity, capable of amplifying and enriching assembled long DNA fragments; and third, proofreading activity, correcting incorrectly incorporated bases during the polymerization reaction and reducing the error rate of assembled fragments.
[0004] Pfu DNA polymerase, derived from *Pyrococcus furiosus*, exhibits excellent thermostability: a half-life greater than 18 hours at 95°C; it possesses 3'→5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity, with an error rate approximately 10 times lower than Taq DNA polymerase (error rate approximately 1×10⁻⁶). -6 / base). However, Pfu DNA polymerase suffers from insufficient sustained synthesis capacity, with its elongation efficiency being nearly 6 times lower than that of Taq DNA polymerase.
[0005] The fusion of DNA-binding proteins with DNA polymerase to form a high-fidelity DNA polymerase can significantly enhance the binding stability of the enzyme to the DNA template and its continuous synthesis capacity. However, existing high-fidelity enzymes still need improvement in terms of amplification rate, continuous synthesis capacity, and tolerance to complex templates and inhibitors. This invention employs a metagenomic mining strategy to directly discover novel enzyme gene backbones with naturally high thermal stability and high efficiency from unculturable microorganisms in extreme environments. Then, through protein fusion engineering, the catalytic core is combined with the DNA-binding domain to design and screen a new high-fidelity DNA polymerase with high fidelity and high robustness, especially in the splicing and assembly of long DNA fragments, exhibiting strong stability and low error rate, and possessing high practical value.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention is further illustrated below with specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, the operating methods and equipment used in the following embodiments are conventional operating methods, and the materials and equipment used in each embodiment are the same.
[0042] Example 1: Design and preparation of high-fidelity DNA polymerase
[0043] 1. Design
[0044] Using the structure of the Sso7d protein (PDB ID: 1BNZ) as the query structure, the Foldseek protein structure search tool was used to perform structural homology searches in multiple protein structure databases (including AF50, AFDB-proteome, AFDB-swissport, Cath50, GMGCL, MGnify_ESM30, and PDB100). No more than 1000 matching records were retained from each database, resulting in a total of 3748 candidate protein structures. From the Foldseek alignment results, based on the starting position of the structural homology region, no more than 20 amino acid residues were extended from both ends to extract the corresponding protein amino acid sequence fragments.
[0045] The obtained candidate proteins were filtered as follows: records with a bitscore less than 50 in the Foldseek alignment results were removed; records with a probability value (prob) less than 0.5 were removed; and records with a query coverage (qcov) of less than 50% were removed. The preliminarily screened homologous protein sequences were then aligned with the Sso7d prototype protein sequence, and records with sequence similarity exceeding 75% were removed, retaining homologous proteins with sequence novelty.
[0046] Based on the key residue features of DNA recognition and binding, the homologous proteins obtained from the initial screening were further evaluated and screened, ultimately identifying four candidate DNA-binding proteins with the following sequences:
[0047] The amino acid sequence of DNA-binding protein 1 is shown in SEQ ID NO:1:

Four candidate DNA-binding proteins are fused to the C-terminus of Pfu DNA polymerase via a linker sequence. Figure 1 The four fusion proteins are candidate high-fidelity DNA polymerases (denoted as hfDNAP-1, hfDNAP-2, hfDNAP-3, and hfDNAP-4), and their nucleotide sequences, generated and optimized based on their amino acid sequences, are shown in SEQ ID NO:6-9.

[0067] 2. Plasmid vector construction:
[0068] Four genes were synthesized and assembled according to SEQ ID NO:6-9. They were constructed in the open reading frame region of the pET-28a expression vector (P0023, Miaoling Biotechnology). The four plasmid DNAs were transformed into BL21(DE3) competent cells. The transformed bacterial culture was plated on solid LB agar plates containing kanamycin and cultured overnight at 37°C. Single colonies were picked and verified using Sanger sequencing. Single colonies with completely correct sequences were selected, and the corresponding plasmids and bacterial cultures were preserved.
[0069] 3. Prepare the solution:
[0070] 1) Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) solution (1M): Weigh 2.38g IPTG and add it to 10mL of enzyme-free water. After dissolving, filter it through a 0.22µm filter membrane and store it at -20℃ for later use.
[0071] 2) Lysis buffer: 50mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 500mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40 and 0.1% Triton X-100.
[0072] 3) Imidazole solution stock solution (2M): Weigh 1.36g of imidazole and add it to 10mL of enzyme-free water. After dissolving, adjust the pH to 8 with hydrochloric acid and store at 4℃ for later use.
[0073] 4) Gradient elution buffer:
[0074] 10mM elution buffer: 50mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 500mM NaCl / 100mM NaCl, 0.05% NP-40, 5% glycerol, 5mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1mM benzalkonium chloride and 10mM imidazole.
[0075] 20mM elution buffer: 50mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl, 0.05% NP-40, 5% glycerol, 5mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1mM benzalkonium chloride and 20mM imidazole.
[0076] 50mM elution buffer: 50mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl, 0.05% NP-40, 5% glycerol, 5mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1mM benzalkonium chloride and 50mM imidazole.
[0077] 300mM elution buffer: 50mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl, 0.05% NP-40, 5% glycerol, 5mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1mM benzalkonium chloride and 300mM imidazole.
[0078] 5) Storage solution: 20mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 500mM NaCl.
[0079] 4. Protein-induced expression:
[0080] The four monoclonal bacterial cultures that were correctly sequenced were revived and inoculated into 200 mL of LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin. The cultures were then incubated with shaking at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD (outlet count) was reached. 600 When the pH reaches 0.8-1.0, add IPTG solution to the culture medium to a final concentration of 1 mM. Continue to induce culture at 37°C for 2 hours, then collect the bacterial cells by centrifugation.
[0081] 5. Protein purification:
[0082] The bacterial cells were washed twice with PBS, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. 4 mL of lysis buffer was added to the bacterial pellet, and the cells were resuspended thoroughly. 20 µL of lysozyme solution (100 mg / mL) was added, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed. The mixture was placed in a four-dimensional rotary mixer and rotated for 15 min at room temperature. The enzymatically digested bacterial suspension was heated in a 75°C water bath for 1 h, centrifuged at 16000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected. The mixture was filtered through a 0.22 µm filter membrane. 400 µL of glycerol and 1.4 µL of 100 mM benzidine were added to the filtrate, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed before use. Purification was performed using a nickel column (Ni-NTA). The nickel column was equilibrated with lysis buffer. 20 µL of imidazole stock solution (2 M) was added to the cell lysis buffer, mixed, and then bound to the nickel column. The target protein was eluted sequentially with a gradient of elution buffers from low to high concentration.
[0083] 6. Protein analysis, quantification, and storage:
[0084] The eluted fractions were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining. Based on the staining results, fractions with high target protein purity were collected for overnight dialysis. After dialysis, the fractions were concentrated using a 50 kDa ultrafiltration tube. The concentrate was collected for BCA quantification, and the purity was determined by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining. Figure 2 After being packaged, the product should be stored at -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
[0085] Example 2 Polymerase Activity Assay
[0086] The purified protein was uniformly diluted to 0.01 μg / μL, and the activity of the purified mutant enzyme was detected using a fluorescent polymerase activity assay kit (Biotium, USA, catalog number: #29051). The assay procedure was performed according to the kit instructions. Phusion® Ultra Fidelity DNA Polymerase (NEB, USA, catalog number: M0530S) was used to construct a standard curve. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the polymerase activities of the four candidate proteins were 62.18 ± 0.80, 55.47 ± 1.30, 84.10 ± 2.76 and 72.42 ± 5.58, respectively. Among them, hfDNAP-3 had the highest polymerase activity, and its amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:10.

[0089] Example 34. Detection of the error rate of 9k DNA fragment assembly
[0090] A DNA sequence of 4914 bp was selected, as shown in SEQ ID NO:11. Oligonucleotide sequences (SEQ ID NO:12-SEQ ID NO:137) for assembling this DNA fragment were designed using DNAWorks software. Each sequence was synthesized and mixed to prepare an Oligo Mix solution (10 µM). Six groups were set up for the experiment: the Phu-WT group used laboratory-expressed and purified Phusion high-fidelity DNA polymerase; the hfDNAP group used four candidate high-fidelity DNA polymerases; and the Positive Control group used imported commercial reagent Phusion® ultra-fidelity DNA polymerase (NEB Corporation, catalog number: M0530S).
