Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic agriculture, and in particular to a mango U6 promoter and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, genome editing technology has developed rapidly. CRISPR / Cas genome editing technology is a highly efficient genome editing tool. The core components of the CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing system include a Cas9 protein with double-strand break ability and an artificially fused small guide RNA. Among them, sgRNA is responsible for targeted binding to the target gene site, and Cas9 protein cuts the target DNA under the guidance of sgRNA. Therefore, selecting a suitable promoter to efficiently drive the transcription of sgRNA is crucial for the study of the CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing system. The U6 promoter is an RNA polymerase III (Pol III) dependent promoter with a clear transcription initiation site, can recognize a highly conserved sequence starting with 'G', and is widely used to drive the efficient expression of plant sgRNA. In the CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing system, the heterologous expression of sgRNA is usually driven by Arabidopsis U6 (AtU6) and rice U6 (OsU6) promoters.

[0003] The U6 promoter applied across species is usually limited to closely related plants. The endogenous U6 promoters of wheat, soybean, chicory, cotton and grape plants can significantly improve the expression efficiency of sgRNA and the genome editing effect. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of CRISPR / Cas9 in plant genome editing, the plant endogenous U6 promoter should be selected first.

[0004] Mango is an evergreen fruit tree of the Anacardiaceae family, is an important tropical and subtropical fruit, and has the reputation of "King of Tropical Fruits". Currently, there is no related content of mango U6 promoter disclosed. In order to create new mango germplasm using CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing technology, an efficient MiU6 promoter is needed to lay the foundation for mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a mango U6 promoter and application thereof, which is realized by the following technical scheme: A mango U6 promoter, the mango U6 promoter is one of MiU6-6P-3, MiU6-7P-2, and the specific sequence is as follows: MiU6-6P-3: AATAAAATAATGATTTTATTCCTGCTTTTAACAAAAATTTTAACTTAAATTAATTAATGAATAAAATTTTGAATTTTTTAAACTCTGTAAATATGAGTTTGAAAACATATTAAAACTTGGGCCTTTGGCCAAAAATTAATAATAAGAATGGTCACATTATTACCTGGCTTTGGTGTAGATTTGTCGGGCTTCGAGCCCAACATCAGGACTACTCAAATTCATTTAAAAGTGAACAGATCACGTGACGTGTAGAATGAGTCATCTAGTTAGAAACCAACTATGCCTCCCACATCGTCCAGTTGAGAAACAGATGAATATATTATAAGCAAAGACAAGGTATCAGGTTACTG; MiU6-7P-2: ATTACGGGAGATGTGATAACATTATTTTCCATTTTCGGTTACCGGAAAGCAAGAAAATTGGAGGAAATGACGTTCGCCGTGGGATTGCCGTGGGATGTGGGAAAAATTCGAATTTTCTTTGAATTGCACAGTGAAAATTTGCTGTGTTTATATATGGGGGCAGTTTCGTCATTTCACAAAACATGGGCATTTTTGCTTTAACCTGAATTTTTTGGGCAATTTCGCTTAGACCCCTTTAATTTTGTCTAGTTTTTAAAATTTCCCAGTTAGAAACGAACTATCCCACATTGTTTAGTTGCGAAACAGTGCGATGGTTTATAAACAAAGAAGAAGCGGCAGGAGAGTG.

[0006] Further, the mango U6 promoter is MiU6-6P-3.

[0007] The mango U6 promoter described above is applied in CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing.

[0008] Further, the application in CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing is specifically driving the transcription of sgRNA.

[0009] Further, the CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing is mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing.

[0010] A mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing vector, a MiU6 promoter sequence is introduced into a pBI121 vector to obtain a MiU6 promoter expression vector.

[0011] The mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing vector is applied to mango gene editing.

[0012] A mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing method, the promoter sequence is introduced into the mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing vector, and then the vector is transformed into Agrobacterium, and finally introduced into a mango plant through immersion.

[0013] Further, the mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing vector is the vector of claim 6.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present application are embodied in: Based on the genome data of 'Sijimi mango', seven U6 promoter sequences are screened from the mango genome using the conserved sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana U6 promoter, the full length of the conserved region of which is 102 bp, and sequence alignment shows that the conserved sequences of the seven MiU6 promoters of mango are highly similar to the U6 promoter sequences of other species, but the flanking sequences are quite different. A fusion expression vector driven by the MiU6 promoter to drive the GUS reporter gene is constructed, and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana is transformed by inflorescence infection. The GUS staining and enzyme activity identification results show that among the seven MiU6 promoters, MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-6P-1, MiU6-6P-3 and MiU6-7P-2 successfully drive the GUS reporter gene to express in Arabidopsis thaliana, among which MiU6-6P-3 has the highest transcriptional activity, followed by MiU6-7P-2 and MiU6-2P-1. Further transient expression in transgenic tobacco and mango leaves is detected, and it is found that the GUS activity of MiU6-6P-3 and MiU6-7P-2 is higher. Combined with the GUS activity detection of the three different transgenic plants, MiU6-6P-3 is preferred as the U6 promoter, followed by MiU6-7P-2. This study provides a candidate U6 promoter for editing mango using CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] Screening and activity analysis of mango U6 promoter 1RESULTS 1.1MiU6 promoter sequence analysis (1) MiU6 promoter sequence analysis Based on the BLAST analysis of the 'Four Seasons Honey Mango' genome, 7 MiU6 promoter sequences were screened, and the full length of the conserved region was 102 bp. By comparing the sequences of these MiU6 promoters with AtU6 from Arabidopsis, MdU6 from apple, proHbU6 from corn and SlU6 promoter from tomato, Figure 1), it was found that MiU6 and other species U6 promoters all have a TATA-like Box (5'-CTTATATA-3') at -30 site and a USE (5'-GTCCCACATCG-3') at -60 site, and the distance between the two elements is fixed at about 30 bp. The transcription start site of all U6 promoters is 'G' base, in which the TATA-like Box is responsible for the recognition and binding of RNA polymerase III, and the USE directly affects the transcription activity of the promoter. In this study, the first base at the 5' end of each mango U6 snRNA and the sequence of about 350 bases upstream of the transcription start site were used as candidate promoter sequences for MiU6 promoter, and the seven promoter sequences were named MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-4P-1, MiU6-6P-1, MiU6-6P-2, MiU6-6P-3, MiU6-7P-1 and MiU6-7P-2, respectively.

These mainly include promoter CAAT frames (for enhancing transcriptional activity), light-related elements, and elements responding to drought, abscisic acid, anaerobic conditions, gibberellin, and low temperature. Among these, the CAAT frames related to promoter-enhanced transcriptional activity are the most numerous.

[0025] 1.2 Analysis of transcriptional activity of the MiU6 promoter at different developmental stages in Arabidopsis thaliana Seven fusion expression vectors of MiU6 promoter driving GUS genes were constructed, and the positive plants were obtained by transforming Arabidopsis thaliana through floral dip method, antibiotic screening culture and PCR identification.

In 7-day-old seedlings, except for the positive control 35S:GUS, other plants were not stained, indicating that the MiU6 promoter had no activity in 7-day-old seedlings. In 14-day-old and 21-day-old seedling leaves, MiU6-6P-3 showed blue throughout the plant, indicating the highest transcriptional activity; followed by MiU6-7P-2, which showed light blue. MiU6-2P-1 showed blue in the petiole of seedling leaves, and MiU6-6P-1 showed activity in the growth point. In contrast, MiU6-4P-1, MiU6-6P-2 and MiU6-7P-1 had the lowest activity, and no blue was observed.

[0027] 1.3 Analysis of transcriptional activity of MiU6 promoter in different tissue organs of Arabidopsis thaliana during flowering GUS staining was carried out during the flowering period of Arabidopsis thaliana, and the experimental results are shown in Figure 4 . The tissue organs of the positive control strain showed blue, while the negative control group did not show blue. MiU6-6P-3 showed the deepest staining in leaves, stems, seed pods, flowers and roots, showing the highest transcriptional activity; followed by MiU6-7P-2, which showed light blue in each tissue organ. MiU6-2P-1 only showed blue in the petiole of leaves, but no staining was observed in stems, seed pods, flowers and roots. MiU6-6P-1 only showed blue in flowers, similar to MiU6-7P-2, but did not stain in leaves, stems, seed pods and roots. In contrast, MiU6-4P-1, MiU6-6P-2 and MiU6-7P-1 did not show blue staining in all detected tissue organs.

[0028] 1.4 GUS activity detection The leaves, inflorescences and roots of positive promoter transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana were selected as three groups of measurement samples, and the 4-MU (4-Methylumbelliferone, 4-MU) fluorescence quantitative detection method was used to quantitatively analyze the expression intensity of GUS genes in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.

[0029] GUS The results of protein activity detection are shown in Table 2. Figure 5 The activities of MiU6 promoters in different organs of Arabidopsis were significantly different. The highest GUS activity was detected in MiU6-6P-3, followed by MiU6-2P-1, both of which were higher than the positive control (35S:GUS). Lower activities were detected in MiU6-4P-1, MiU6-6P-2 and MiU6-7P-2, while no activity was detected in the negative control (WT), MiU6-6P-1 and MiU6-7P-1. In Arabidopsis siliques, the highest GUS activity was detected in the positive control (35S:GUS), followed by MiU6-6P-3, then MiU6-7P-2. Lower activities were detected in MiU6-6P-2, MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-7P-1 and MiU6-6P-1, while no activity was detected in the negative control (WT) and MiU6-4P-1. In Arabidopsis roots, the highest GUS activity was detected in the positive control (35S:GUS), followed by MiU6-6P-3, then MiU6-2P-1. Lower activities were detected in MiU6-7P-2, MiU6-6P-2, MiU6-7P-1 and MiU6-6P-1, while no activity was detected in the negative control (WT) and MiU6-4P-1. Overall, MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-6P-3 and MiU6-7P-2 promoters showed higher activities in Arabidopsis leaves, siliques and roots, with significant differences.

[0030] 1.5 Transcriptional activity analysis of MiU6 promoters in tobacco and mango leaves Previous studies have shown that MiU6-6P-3, MiU6-7P-2 and MiU6-2P-1 have high transcriptional activity in transgenic Arabidopsis. To further verify the function of these promoters, these promoters were introduced into tobacco and mango leaves by transient expression technology. The results of GUS staining analysis are shown in Table 3. Figure 6 The tobacco and mango leaves in the negative control group did not show blue staining, while the positive control group showed blue staining in all tested tissues. The leaves of MiU6-6P-3 showed the deepest staining, indicating the highest transcriptional activity. The staining of MiU6-7P-2 was lighter and smaller in area, while MiU6-2P-1 showed almost no staining, indicating the lowest activity.

[0031] 2 Discussion and conclusion In this study, the transcriptional activity of the mango U6 promoter was analyzed after being truncated to about 350 bp. The results showed that MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-6P-1, MiU6-6P-3 and MiU6-7P-2 successfully drove the expression of GUS in Arabidopsis leaves, siliques and roots, with significant differences. GUSThe expression of the reporter gene, in which MiU6-6P-3 has the highest transcriptional activity. This study further confirmed that MiU6-6P-3 promoter exhibited extremely high transcriptional activity through quantitative detection, which was highly similar to the results of GUS staining.

[0032] In summary, this study screened 7 mango U6 promoters, and truncated the MiU6 promoter to about 350 bp in length, and then analyzed the transcriptional activity of the promoter. The results showed that MiU6-2P-1, MiU6-6P-1, MiU6-6P-3 and MiU6-7P-2 could successfully drive GUS The expression of the reporter gene, in which MiU6-6P-3 has the highest transcriptional activity. Through verification experiments in mango and tobacco, the functionality and applicability of these promoters were further confirmed. The research results provide important promoter resources for the optimization of the mango CRISPR / Cas9 genome editing system, especially MiU6-6P-3 can be used as an ideal candidate for driving sgRNA transcription. Future research can further verify the applicability of these promoters in different mango varieties and tissues, and combine molecular breeding techniques to promote mango functional genomics research and genetic improvement.

After bolting, Arabidopsis thaliana genomic DNA was extracted using the CTAB method (Yu et al., 2016). Promoter-specific upstream primers and... GUS PCR detection was performed using downstream primers for the gene; the PCR primer sequences are shown in Table 1. After detecting the target band, the samples were sent to Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for sequencing. Positive seedlings were then screened and harvested individually until the T3 generation.

[0039] 3.5 Transient expression in tobacco and mango leaves The fusion expression vector pBI12-MiU6::GUS was used as the experimental group, pBI12-35S::GUS as the positive control, and the empty vector as the negative control.

The darker the staining, the stronger the promoter activity. The staining solution (0.1 mol / L NaH2PO2, 0.1 mol / L Na2HPO2, 0.01 mol / L EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.005 mol / L K4Fe(CN)6·3H2O, 0.005 mol / L K3 / 4Fe(CN)6, 1000 mg / L X-Gluc) is prepared and used immediately, and stored in the dark. Fresh plant tissue is immersed in GUS staining solution, vacuum pumping for 20 min, incubated in 37℃ oven overnight, and then decolorized with 75% ethanol until chlorophyll is removed. After decolorization, super-zoom 3D microscope is used for photography and observation.

The samples are divided into three groups of leaves, inflorescences and roots, each group is measured three times, and each group sets three parallel samples. GUS activity is determined by GUS fluorescence quantitative analysis, and Bradford protein concentration determination kit (Coolaber, China) and GUS gene quantitative kit (Coolaber, China) are used for detection. The calculation of GUS enzyme activity is based on the amount of fluorescent product generated per unit mass of total plant protein per unit time. Each sample is repeated 3 times.
