Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a dicamba monooxygenase mutant DicX4M2, a gene encoding the dicamba monooxygenase mutant DicX4M2, a recombinant vector into which the gene is inserted, a transformant into which the gene is transformed, a method for improving dicamba monooxygenase activity, a method for preparing the dicamba monooxygenase mutant DicX4M2, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Herbicides are widely used to control harmful plants such as weeds, shrubs, and trees in farmland, orchards, flower nurseries, and grasslands. The invention and use of herbicides have greatly promoted the development of modern agriculture, especially in crop production where herbicides are used extensively. This has significantly reduced the cost of manual weeding, mitigated the risk of crop yield reduction due to competition from weeds, and improved agricultural production efficiency. However, herbicides lack selectivity, sometimes causing phytotoxicity to the primary crop, subsequent crops, or other crops in adjacent fields. Highly selective herbicides, on the other hand, often have a narrow spectrum of activity, failing to control multiple weeds simultaneously. These limitations restrict their application. With the development of biotechnology, the use of plant genetic engineering to create herbicide-tolerant crops has largely solved these problems, significantly changing agricultural production patterns.

[0003] Dicamba, also known as dicamba herbicide, is a selective and systemic post-emergence auxin herbicide. Developed in 1961 by Velscool Chemical Corporation in the United States, its chemical name is 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS: 1918-00-9), and its molecular weight is 221.04. At room temperature, its solubility in water is 6.5 g / L. It should be stored in a dry, airtight, cool, and dark place. It is chemically stable. Dicamba is a broad-spectrum broadleaf herbicide used for post-emergence spraying. It is rapidly absorbed by the leaves, stems, and roots of weeds and translocated upwards and downwards through the phloem and xylem. It inhibits the normal activity of plant hormones, causing physiological disorders in weeds, stem twisting and deformities, leaf wrinkling and discoloration, ultimately leading to weed death. It is particularly effective in controlling annual and perennial broadleaf weeds during crop growth. Because dicamba is effective, has low production costs, is environmentally friendly, and is virtually non-toxic to wild organisms and humans, it has been widely used to control weeds in fields.

[0004] However, dicamba may also cause herbicide damage to crops in the main field, or to subsequent crops and other crops in adjacent fields, affecting crop growth.

[0005] dicThe X4 gene (described in patent 201910977573.2) is a gene encoding dicamba monooxygenase obtained from microbial metagenomic data of soil samples around a pharmaceutical factory in southern China.

[0037] The present disclosure will be further illustrated by the following examples, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0038] All raw materials used in the embodiments can be obtained through commercial purchase.

[0039] Example 1 This embodiment is used to illustrate BW- ddm A1- ddm Construction of recombinant Escherichia coli B: Dicamba O-demethylase (DMO) consists of three components (reductase DIC (…)). ddm A1), iron-sulfur protein DIC ( ddm B) and oxygenase DIC ( dic X4), only when all three components are combined can significant O-demethylase activity be detected. Since *E. coli* lacks reductase and iron-sulfur protein components, these two components need to be integrated into the *E. coli* genome. dic After X4 was mutated, a recombinant vector was constructed and transformed into E. coli to screen for suitable mutants.

[0040] Genes ddm A1 and ddm B is integrated into the E. coli genome and mainly consists of two parts: 1. Based on CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, the target site of the BW25113 genome in chassis cells was cut, resulting in double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) at the target site. 2. The target gene is knocked into the genome via homologous recombination at the DSB using the λ-RED homologous recombination system. This system mainly consists of two plasmids: pTargetF and pCas#62225. The pTargetF plasmid primarily expresses gRNA to guide the Cas9 protein in targeting and cleaving the BW25113 genome; the pCas#62225 plasmid primarily expresses the Cas9 protein and the λ-RED homologous recombination system for targeted cleavage and subsequent homologous recombination knock-in of the fusion fragment.

[0041] The main experimental steps are as follows: S1. Take the frozen product stored at -80℃. Escherichia coli BW25113 ( E. coli BW25113 was inoculated onto LB solid medium using the streak plate method and incubated upside down in a 37°C incubator for 18 hours to grow single colonies.

Finally, resuspend the bacterial cells in 100μL of pre-chilled 12% glycerol. At this point, the bacterial cells are obtained. E.coli BW25113 competent cells are ready for immediate transformation. They can be used experimentally or stored at -80°C. S3, in E.coli Add 400 ng of pCas#62225 plasmid to BW25113 competent cells, mix gently, and add to a pre-chilled 0.2 cm electroporation cuvette. Electroporate at 2000 V, 25 μF, and 200 Ω. Then add 900 μL of LB liquid medium to the electroporated cells and incubate at 30°C and 220 rpm for 2-3 hours. Spread the culture onto LB (Kan) agar plates and incubate upside down at 30°C for 24 hours to obtain cells containing pCas#62225 plasmid. E. coli BW25113 strain BW-pCas; S4. Pick single colonies of BW-pCas and incubate them in LB (Kan) liquid medium at 30°C and 220 rpm until OD. 600=Approximately 0.4, add 0.1mM IPTG and culture for 1 hour to induce expression of the λ-RED homologous recombination system. Then, prepare BW-pCas into competent cells using the same method as step S2. The competent cells can be used directly or stored in a -80℃ freezer. S5. Take BW-pCas competent cells induced by arabinose, add 400 ng of gene fusion fragment (gene + upstream and downstream homologous arms) and 200 ng of pTargetF- yjiP_yjiR After plasmidization, electroporation can be performed. The electroporation program settings and subsequent incubation process are the same as shown in step S3. The incubated culture is spread on LB (Kan+Spec) solid plates and incubated upside down at 30°C for 24 hours to obtain single colonies after electroporation. S6. Colony PCR screening was conducted to identify positive clones with the target fragment successfully knocked into them. The PCR products were then sequenced to further confirm the positive clones. S7. Plasmid elimination was performed on the selected positive clones. First, single colonies were picked and incubated in LB (Kan) liquid medium supplemented with 0.2% arabinose for 12 hours at 30°C and 220 rpm to eliminate the pTargetF plasmid. Then, the bacterial culture was transferred to LB liquid medium at a 1% inoculum and incubated at 37°C and 220 rpm for 18 hours to eliminate the pCas#62225 plasmid, resulting in integrated plasmids. ddm A1 and ddm B gene strain BW- ddm A1 -ddm B.

Wild-type *E. coli* showed no growth susceptibility at 50 mM dicamba concentration, but its tolerance to 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid (DCSA, a dicamba degradation product) was an order of magnitude lower. If dicamba monooxygenase in the strain degrades dicamba to DCSA, leading to intracellular DCSA accumulation, it will inhibit cell growth.
