Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Specifically, it is a primer, detection system, detection method and kit for detecting Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on fruits and vegetables based on Cas9. BACKGROUND

[0002] Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogenic fungus that harms global agriculture. It has a wide host range and can infect over 200 crops of fruits and vegetables, causing serious economic losses. The infection mechanism of this pathogen is complex, and the latent period is short, posing a serious threat to the yield and quality of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a rapid and accurate detection technology for the effective prevention and control of this disease.

[0003] Traditional morphological identification methods for this pathogen are time-consuming and low in accuracy, making it difficult to meet the needs of early rapid diagnosis. Although molecular techniques based on PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) have improved specificity, they are limited by laboratory equipment and professional operation, and cannot be applied to on-site rapid detection. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid and highly sensitive detection method for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

[0004] In recent years, the combination of isothermal amplification technology and CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system has provided a new path for rapid detection of plant pathogens. Among them, the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology can realize the rapid amplification of nucleic acids under constant temperature conditions of 37-42℃, greatly reducing the requirements for equipment. By combining RPA with CRISPR system, an integrated detection system can be constructed, which can further increase the detection specificity and achieve high sensitivity and specificity detection of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This provides reliable technical support for timely and effective prevention and control of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and has important significance for safeguarding agricultural production and food security.

[0038] The materials and reagents involved in this embodiment are as follows: 6 strains of *Colletotrichum gloeosporioides*, 6 other anthracnose complex strains, and 15 other plant pathogenic fungi of various genera. The Magnetic Bead Method Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (DP342), enzyme-free sterile water, and RNase inhibitor (40 U / µL, NG209) were purchased from Tiangen Biotech (Beijing) Co., Ltd.; the Qubit® dsDNA HS Assay Kit was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA; the Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) Kit (TwistAmp® Basic) was purchased from TwistDX, UK; the Lateral Chromatography Test Strip (LFA strip) was purchased from Beijing Lanbolide Trading Co., Ltd.; dCas9 protein, pET28a plasmid, AviTag (short peptide tag), and BirA (biotin ligase) were purchased from Shanghai Jinan Technology Co., Ltd.; and the Guideit™ Complete sgRNA Screening System was purchased from Beijing Liuhetong Economic and Trade Co., Ltd.

[0039] In addition to the biological materials and reagents described above, all other materials and reagents mentioned in this invention can be purchased from commercial channels at home and abroad, and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] 1. Genome extraction

[0041] Genomic DNA was extracted from all tested strains using the Magnetic Bead Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (DP342). DNA concentration was quantified using a Qubit® 2.0 fluorometer and a Qubit® dsDNA HS Assay Kit. DNA samples were stored at -20°C until use.

[0042] 2. Design and screening of RPA primers and sgRNA

[0043] (1) RPA primer design

[0044] The target strain and anthrax complex were analyzed by amplification and sequencing of the β-tubulin gene (TUB). The obtained sequences were compared with the TUB gene sequences of 20 strains of 12 anthrax complexes (including *Colletotrichum gloeosporioides*) in the NCBI database, and sequence analysis was performed using SnapGene and Primer 6 software. Based on the differential sites of the TUB gene between *Colletotrichum gloeosporioides* and other strains, RPA-specific primers were designed and synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0045] (2) RPA primer screening

[0046] The designed RPA-specific primers were subjected to RPA amplification to screen primers. Following the instructions of the TwistAmp® Basic kit (TwistDx), each reaction system was 50 µL, containing 29.5 µL TwistAmp rehydration buffer, 8.65 µL enzyme-free sterile water, 2.4 µL (10 µM) each of forward and reverse primers, an appropriate amount of purified DNA template (anthrax DNA), and 2.5 µL magnesium acetate (MgAc). The reaction system was incubated at 37°C for 20 min in a nucleic acid amplification instrument before the RPA reaction. The amplified products were observed by electrophoresis on a 2% agarose gel, and the results are shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the primer pair (forward primer: Cg-tub-6F, reverse primer: Cg-tub-6R) is specific for *Colletotrichum gloeosporioides*. The forward primer of the primer pair was labeled with FAM (Follicular Unit Extraction), which was synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Specific sequence information is shown in Table 1.

[0047] (3) sgRNA design

[0048] The sgRNA design for the CRISPR-dCas9 detection system uses RPA amplification products containing protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs) as templates. The specific PAM sequence of the Cas9 protein is NGG. The amplification fragment of the RPA-specific primers (Cg-tub-6F / Cg-tub-6R) is 175 bp. Based on this fragment and the PAM sequence position, the target sequence (ACTGCTGCTTTTCTGTCTAC) was designed. The sgRNA was synthesized by Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Specific sequence information is shown in Table 1.

[0050]

[0051] 3. Biotinylation of dCas9 protein

[0052] First, the AviTag coding sequence (GLNDIFEAQKIEWHE, 15 amino acids) was fused in-frame with the dCas9 sequence in the pET28a plasmid to construct the pET28a-dCas9-AviTag recombinant plasmid. This plasmid and the BirA plasmid were co-transformed into *E. coli* BL21(DE3) competent cells. Protein expression was induced using 2×YT medium supplemented with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG), and biotin was added to the medium to complete biotinylation modification. After cell lysis, the target protein was isolated and purified using the AKTA Pure protein purification system. Finally, the biotinylated dCas9 protein (i.e., bio-dCas9 protein), which passed SDS-PAGE and Western blot validation, was aliquoted and stored at -80℃.

[0053] 4. sgRNA activity verification

[0054] Using the primer pairs C-tub-PCR-F / C-tub-PCR-R listed in Table 2, PCR amplification was performed according to the Guide-it™ sgRNA kit instructions to obtain the target DNA fragment. For the cleavage reaction, sgRNA was pre-incubated with Cas9 nuclease at 37°C for 5 minutes to form a complex. Subsequently, 2 µL of the amplified product was mixed with 1 µL of 15X Cas9 reaction buffer, 1 µL of 15X BSA solution, 9.5 µL of RNase-free water, and 1.5 µL of the aforementioned complex to form a 15 µL reaction system, which was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After the reaction, the enzyme was inactivated by heating at 80°C, and RNase was added to degrade the RNA. The cleavage product was verified by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis; the results are shown in the table below. Figure 2 ;from Figure 2As can be seen, when only dCas9 and target DNA are present, or only target DNA is present, the DNA band remains intact. However, when sgRNA, dCas9, and target DNA are present simultaneously, the target DNA band is successfully cleaved.

Remove the test strip immediately after the control line develops color, record the result within 2 minutes, and take a photograph within 5 minutes.

[0072] 6. Optimization of the one-tube detection system for Colloidal anthrax

[0073] (1) Optimization of RPA primer concentration:

[0074] In the "(1) Construction of RPA Pre-amplification Reaction System", the concentrations of the "2.4 μL FAM-labeled upstream and downstream primers" were set at five gradients: 2 μM, 4 μM, 6 μM, 8 μM, and 10 μM. The optimal reaction concentration was determined by the brightness and clarity of the bands using 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that the bands were brightest and clearest when the primer concentration was 6 µM. (See...) Figure 3 .

[0075] (2) RPA reaction time optimization:

[0076] In the "(3) Operation Procedure for the One-Tube Detection System of Colloidal Anthrax", step e) of the incubation time at 37℃ was set to five time points: 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min. The amplification effect was observed by gel electrophoresis. The results showed that bright and clear bands were visible after 25 min of reaction. Figure 4 .

[0077] (3) Optimization of bio-dCas9 concentration:

[0078] The concentrations of "15 μL bio-dCas9 protein" added in "(2) Preparation of CRISPR-dCas9 Detection Mixture" were set at seven concentration gradients: 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, and 800 nM. The results showed that a clear and distinct band was visible in the test line when the bio-dCas9 concentration was 200 nM. Figure 5 .

[0079] (4) Optimization of bio-dCas9 / sgRNA:

[0080] The optimal bio-dCas9 / sgRNA mass ratio was optimized by adjusting the concentration of sgRNA in step (2) CRISPR-dCas9 detection mixture preparation, setting six different ratios (0 / 0, 1 / 0.2, 1 / 0.5, 1 / 1, 1 / 2, and 1 / 5). The results showed that a clear and distinct band was visible in the test line when the bio-dCas9 / sgRNA mass ratio was 1:1 (i.e., the sgRNA concentration was 300 nM). Figure 6 .

[0081] (5) Optimization of CRISPR-dCas9 reaction time:

[0082] The incubation time (i.e., the CRISPR / dCas9 detection reaction time) in "Step f" of the "(3) Operation Procedure of the One-Tube Detection System for Colloidal Anthracnose" was set to 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10 min, respectively. The results showed that a clear and distinct band was visible in the test line at a reaction time of 4 min. (See attached table for details.) Figure 7 .

[0083] 7. Application Testing and Evaluation of the One-Tube Detection System for Colloidal Anthrax

[0084] (1) Sensitivity test
