More specifically to nucleases, guide RNAs and nucleic acid constructs encoding the nucleic acid constructs thereof, as well as compositions, recombinant vectors, recombinant host cells and kits comprising nucleases. More specifically to methods for introducing double-strand breaks into targeted genes in host cells, methods for deleting, replacing or inserting targeted genes in host cells, and methods for obtaining host cells into which targeted genes are deleted, replaced or inserted.

[Background technology]

[0003] With the rapid development of modern biotechnology and the advent of the post-genomic era, people are entering the stage of rewriting or redesigning genetic information from the stage of reading biological genetic DNA information. The discovery of CRISPR / Cas9 technology has brought about a revolutionary breakthrough in gene editing technology. CRISPR / Cas9 is an RNA-mediated targeted gene editing tool, which can specifically recognize and cleave different endogenous DNA sequences through reprogramming of sgRNA. Cas9 has two nuclease domains, RuvC and HNH, which are respectively involved in the cleavage of either strand of DNA. By mutating any of these sites, Cas9 can be converted into single-stranded Cas9 nickase. All important new technologies related to Cas9, such as base editing and prime editing, are designed based on Cas9 nickase.

[0004] However, some drawbacks of CRISPR / Cas9 limit its application: First, the CDS sequence of spCas9 has a length exceeding 4.1 Kb, which exceeds the maximum effective packaging capacity of adenovirus (AAV). Therefore, adenovirus-mediated gene delivery is difficult; although lentivirus has a stronger packaging capacity than AAV (with a loading upper limit of about 9 kb), the protein ratio in spCas9 is still too high, limiting the possibility of subsequent operations. These drawbacks severely limit the application of spCas9 in clinical medicine. Subsequently, CRISPR / Cas12 or 12f systems with smaller molecular weights emerged, but the editing efficiency of proteins such as Cas12 is not better than that of spCas9. Therefore, spCas9 is still widely accepted and currently in use. Second, the PAM sequence of spCas9, which is the NGG sequence, is relatively simple and has a higher incidence rate in the genome. Its advantage lies in the flexibility to reprogram sgRNA to complete the recognition and cleavage of various DNA sequences. However, this flexibility also brings about off-target effects of suboptimal genome editing results.

[0005] Therefore, gene editing technologies realized using RNA-mediated endonucleases, namely, insertion sequences IscB and TnpB from the IS200 / IS605 family, emerged later. They are widely distributed in microorganisms and have a more compact protein structure with a size of about 400 aa, which is less than 1 / 3 of spCas9. Therefore, they have greater potential for operations related to enzyme applications. TnpB cleaves DNA adjacent to the 5’TTGAT transposon-related motif (TAM) via reRNA (right element RNA derived from the RE element in the ISDra2 transposon) mediation, thereby disrupting and mutating DNA sequences in the genome. The DNA cleavage function of TnpB needs to satisfy two conditions simultaneously: (1) the TAM sequence; (2) the sequence located at the 3’ end of reRNA compatible with the target gene. Different nucleases can recognize different TAMs. Therefore, the discovery of higher-activity nuclease tools and the verification and detection of their functions can provide more, better, and more flexible options for the development of gene editing strategies.

[0028] In this application, the terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably and refer to polymeric forms of nucleotides of any length, including deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, combinations thereof, and analogues thereof.

[0029] In this application, the terms "polypeptide" and "peptide" are used interchangeably and refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. Therefore, polypeptides, oligopeptides, proteins, antibodies, and enzymes are all included in the definition of polypeptide.

[0030] As described in this application, a “fragment” of a sequence refers to a part of a sequence. For example, a fragment of a nucleic acid sequence refers to a part of a nucleic acid sequence, and a fragment of an amino acid sequence refers to a part of an amino acid sequence.

[0031] As described in this application, a “variant” of a sequence is a polynucleotide or polypeptide that differs from a reference polynucleotide or polypeptide but retains essential properties. A typical variant of a polynucleotide has a nucleic acid sequence that differs from another reference polynucleotide, and this difference in nucleic acid sequence may or may not alter the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the reference polynucleotide. A typical variant of a polypeptide has an amino acid sequence that differs from another reference polypeptide. Generally, the differences are limited such that the sequences of the reference polypeptide and the variant are generally very similar and identical in many regions. The amino acid sequences of the variant polypeptide and the reference polypeptide may differ by one or more substitutions, additions, or deletions in any combination. The substituted or inserted amino acid residues may or may not be residues encoded by the genetic code. Variants of polynucleotides or polypeptides may be naturally occurring, such as allelic variants, or they may be naturally occurring variants that are unknown. Polynucleotide and polypeptide variants that do not exist naturally may be produced by mutagenesis techniques, direct synthesis, and other recombination methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Amino acids are typically classified according to the properties of their side chains. For example, the side chains may make the amino acid a weak acid (e.g., amino acids D and E) or a weak base (e.g., amino acids K, R, and H); if the side chain is polar, the amino acid becomes hydrophilic (e.g., amino acids L and I); or if the side chain is nonpolar, the amino acid becomes hydrophobic (e.g., amino acids S and C).

[0033] As described in this application, “aliphatic amino acids” have a side chain which is an aliphatic group. The aliphatic group makes the amino acid nonpolar and hydrophobic. The aliphatic group is preferably an unsubstituted branched or linear alkyl group. Non-limiting examples of aliphatic amino acids are A (alanine), V (valine), L (leucine), I (isoleucine), M (methionine), D (aspartic acid), E (glutamic acid), K (lysine), R (arginine), G (glycine), S (serine), T (threonine), C (cysteine), N (asparagine), and Q (glutamine).

[0034] As described in this application, "nonpolar amino acids" have nonpolar side chains that make the amino acid hydrophobic. Non-limiting examples of nonpolar amino acids include A (alanine), V (valine), L (leucine), I (isoleucine), F (phenylalanine), W (tryptophan), M (methionine), P (proline), and G (glycine).

[0035] As described in this application, “polar amino acids” have polar side chains that make the amino acid hydrophilic. Non-limiting examples of polar amino acids include T (threonine), S (serine), C (cysteine), N (asparagine), Q (glutamine), Y (tyrosine), K (lysine), R (arginine), H (histidine), D (aspartic acid), and E (glutamic acid). Polar amino acids can be classified as polar uncharged amino acids or polar charged amino acids.

[0036] As described in this application, “polar uncharged amino acids” have polar side chains of uncharged residues. Non-limiting examples of polar uncharged amino acids include T (threonine), S (serine), C (cysteine), N (asparagine), Q (glutamine), and Y (tyrosine).

[0037] As described in this application, “polar charged amino acids” have a polar side chain of at least one charged residue. Non-limiting examples of polar charged amino acids are K (lysine), R (arginine), H (histidine), D (aspartic acid), and E (glutamic acid). Polar charged amino acids can be classified as either positively charged or negatively charged amino acids.

[0038] As described in this application, a “positively charged amino acid” has a polar side chain of at least one positively charged residue. Non-limiting examples of positively charged amino acids are K (lysine), R (arginine), and H (histidine).

[0039] As described in this application, a “negatively charged amino acid” has a polar side chain of at least one negatively charged residue. Non-limiting examples of negatively charged amino acids are D (aspartic acid) and E (glutamic acid).

[0040] As used in this application, the term "family" refers to a group of nucleic acids or proteins that have high structural similarity and are produced by the same ancestor through replication and mutation, and which usually have related or identical functions.

[0041] The term "nuclease" as used in this application refers to an enzyme capable of cleaving phosphodiester bonds. Nucleases hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds in the nucleic acid backbone. The term "endonuclease" as used in this application refers to an enzyme capable of cleaving phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides.

[0042] The term “guide RNA” as used in this application refers to any RNA molecule capable of forming a complex with a nuclease as described in this application. For example, a guide RNA may be a molecule that recognizes a targeted gene. In some embodiments of this application, the guide RNA may comprise a reRNA and a targeted sequence, wherein the reRNA is capable of binding to a specific nuclease, and the targeted sequence may be designed to be complementary to the target strand of the targeted gene.

[0043] The term “transposon-associated motif” (TAM) as used in this application refers to a short nucleotide sequence adjacent to a target gene, which can be recognized by a complex formed by the nuclease and guide RNA described in this application. If the target gene is not adjacent to a transposon-associated motif, the nuclease cannot successfully recognize the target gene. The sequence and length of the transposon-associated motif in this application may vary depending on the nuclease.

[0044] The terms “targeted gene,” “targeted sequence,” “targeted nucleic acid,” “target gene,” “target sequence,” and “target nucleic acid” as used in this application are interchangeable and refer to nucleotide sequences on chromosomal DNA, chloroplast DNA, mitochondrial DNA, plasmid DNA, or any other DNA molecule in the cellular genome, which can be recognized, bound, and selectively cleaved by a complex formed by the nuclease and guide RNA described in this application.

[0045] The term “nucleic acid construct,” as used in this application, is defined herein as a single-stranded or double-stranded nucleic acid molecule, and preferably refers to an artificially constructed nucleic acid molecule. Optionally, a nucleic acid construct further includes one or more operablely linked regulatory sequences that can direct the expression of a coding sequence in a suitable host cell under suitable conditions. The term “expression” is understood to include any steps involved in the production of a protein or polypeptide, including, but not limited to, transcription, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational modification, and secretion. The term “regulatory sequence” includes all components necessary or advantageous for polypeptide / protein expression in this application. Each regulatory sequence may be naturally occurring or exogenous to the nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein or polypeptide. These regulatory sequences include, but are not limited to, leader sequences, polyadenylated sequences, propeptide sequences, promoters, signal sequences, and transcription terminators. At a minimum, a regulatory sequence should include promoters and termination signals for transcription and translation. Regulatory sequences having linkers may be provided for introduction into specific restriction sites for linking the regulatory sequence to the coding region of the nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein or polypeptide.

[0046] The term “promoter,” as used in this application, refers to a polynucleotide sequence capable of controlling the transcription of a coding sequence. A promoter sequence comprises a specific sequence sufficient to enable RNA polymerase to recognize, bind to, and initiate transcription. In addition, the promoter sequence may optionally include sequences that modulate the recognition, binding, and transcription initiation activity of RNA polymerase in the nucleic acid constructs provided in this application. A promoter may affect the transcription of genes located on the same nucleic acid molecule as the promoter or genes located on a different nucleic acid molecule than the promoter.

[0047] As used in this application, the term “host cell” includes, but is not limited to, animal cells, plant cells, algal cells, fungal cells, yeast cells, or bacterial cells. The term includes offspring of the original cell into which an exogenous nucleic acid fragment has been introduced. An example host cell is the human fetal kidney cell HEK293T. It is understood that, due to natural, accidental, or intentional mutation, offspring of a single parental cell may not necessarily be morphologically or, with respect to genomic or total DNA complement, identical to the original parent.

[0048] As used in this application, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid molecule to which it is ligated. Examples of vectors include, but are not limited to, plasmids, viruses, bacteria, phages, and insertable DNA fragments.

[Examples]

It should be understood that these are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

Therefore, those skilled in the art should be aware that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of this application. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below.

[0092] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents and equipment used in the following examples are commercially available conventional products. Unless otherwise specified, the experiments are conducted under conventional conditions recommended by the manufacturers.

[0093] Example 1: Construction of a nuclease activity detection system To verify the activity of candidate nucleases, we established a set of RGS bifluorescent surrogate reporter systems.

[0094] Plasmid 1 consists of a complete set of elements capable of transcribing and expressing a candidate nuclease protein, including a constitutive promoter CMV (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 405) that can initiate transcription in eukaryotic cells, a candidate nuclease sequence (as shown in Table 1), a 5'-nuclear localization signal peptide sequence (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 406), a 3'-nuclear localization signal peptide sequence (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 407), a poly(A) sequence that terminates transcription (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 408), and an ampicillin resistance gene sequence (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 409).

[0095] Method for constructing Plasmid 1: The amino acid sequence (or nucleotide sequence) of the candidate nuclease protein was synthesized via a conventional gene synthesized by BGI Tech Solutions (Beijing Liuhe) Co., Ltd., which has an ECoRI cleavage site inserted at the upstream 5' end of the sequence and a BamH1 cleavage site inserted at the downstream 3' end. Plasmid construction was also carried out by the company involved in gene synthesis, and the specific construction method was as follows: 1. Vector preparation. The plasmid backbone of the pcDNA3.1 plasmid vector was subjected to a double enzymatic digestion reaction using single restriction endonuclease cleavage sites ECoRI and BamHI on the plasmid vector. A linear plasmid vector fragment was obtained by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the enzymatic cleavage band was excised from the gel for recovery to obtain a purified linearized plasmid vector fragment. 2. Ligation. The nucleotide sequence of the candidate nuclease protein obtained by conventional gene synthesis was ligated with the linearized pcDNA3.1 vector fragment using T4 DNA ligase. 3. Transformation and validation. Monoclonal transformants were obtained via LB agar plates to screen for ampicillin resistance, and the exact clones identified by sequencing were used as candidate plasmids for later use.

[0096] Plasmid 2 contains a reRNA sequence (as shown in Table 1), a 20nt targeted sequence GCTCGGAGATCATCATTGCG inserted at the 3' end of the reRNA sequence, a U6 promoter (as shown in Sequence ID No. 410), a PBR322 origin of replication (as shown in Sequence ID No. 411), and an ampicillin resistance gene sequence (as shown in Sequence ID No. 409).

[0097] Method for constructing Plasmid 2: Guide reRNA was synthesized by Beijing Tsingke Biotech Co., Ltd. or General Biosystems (Anhui) Co., Ltd. through conventional gene synthesis. Plasmid construction was also carried out by the companies involved in gene synthesis, and the specific construction method was as follows: 1. Vector preparation. The pUC19-U6 vector was subjected to enzymatic cleavage using BbsI, and linearized plasmid vector fragments were obtained by agarose gel electrophoresis. The enzymatic cleavage bands were excised from the gel for recovery to obtain purified linearized plasmid vector fragments. 2. Ligation. The nucleotide sequence of the guide reRNA obtained through gene synthesis was ligated with the linearized pUC19-U6 vector fragment using a seamless cloning ligation method. 3. Transformation and validation. Monoclonal transformants were obtained through LB agar plates to screen for ampicillin resistance, and the exact clones identified by sequencing were used as candidate plasmids for later use.

[0098] Plasmid 3 contains a TAM sequence (as shown in Table 1), a 20nt targeted sequence GCTCGGAGATCATCATTGCG inserted at the 3' end of the TAM sequence, a CMV promoter (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 412), an ampicillin resistance gene sequence (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 409), and a surrogate reporter gene. The surrogate reporter gene can encode two fluorescent proteins (the RFP sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 413 and the GFP sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 414). Recognition of the TAM and the 20nt targeted sequence at the 3' end of the TAM is possible by inserting an endonuclease downstream of RFP and an endonuclease upstream of GFP. In the absence of endonuclease activity by the detection system, the reporter gene expresses only RFP to indicate the reference gene expression level of the reporter system, while GFP is designed outside the open reading frame (ORF) and therefore not expressed. If a candidate nuclease has endonuclease activity, it can induce a double-strand break at the targeting site prior to GFP. This results in a frameshift mutation in the leading frame when the DNA is repaired via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), causing GFP to shift from an out-of-frame state to an in-frame state and begin to be expressed. The stronger the nuclease's cleavage activity, the higher the percentage of GFP expressed after the frameshift. Therefore, GFP expression intensity is positively correlated with nuclease activity. The operating mode of the detection system is shown in Figure 1.

[0099] Method for constructing Plasmid 3: Through an oligo synthesis method, a 20nt targeted sequence containing TAM and an ECoRI enzymatic cleavage site inserted at the 5' end of the upstream sequence and a BamH1 enzymatic cleavage site inserted at the 3' end of the downstream sequence was totally synthesized. The specific construction was as follows: 1. Vector preparation. The plasmid backbone of the RGS-pcDNA3.1 plasmid vector was subjected to a double enzymatic digestion reaction using single restriction endonuclease cleavage sites ECoRI and BamHI on the plasmid vector. A linear plasmid vector fragment was obtained by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the enzymatic cleavage band was excised from the gel for recovery to obtain a purified linearized plasmid vector fragment. 2. Ligation. The nucleotide sequence of the guide reRNA obtained through gene synthesis was ligated with the linearized pUC19-U6 vector fragment using a seamless cloning ligation method. 3. Transformation and validation. Monoclonal transformants were obtained via LB agar plates to screen for ampicillin resistance, and the exact clones identified by sequencing were used as candidate plasmids for later use.

[0109] On the other hand, the majority of nucleases with inactive or low cleavage activity were also found during the screening process (e.g., TP_A_24, TP_A_54, TP_B_23, TP_D_44, and TP_F_76 in Table 1 of this application). Compared to these inactive or low-activity nucleases, the cleavage activity of the 197 nucleases of this application was significantly higher.

[0110] In addition, Figure 11 shows the evolutionary branching diagram of the nucleases in this application based on protein sequences. The results showed that these nucleases encompass different branches of the superfamily, including ISDra2.

[0116] Example 3: Detection of editing efficiency at endogenous gene loci 3.1 Plasmid Construction: Nuclease plasmid (plasmid 1) contains a complete set of elements capable of transcribing and expressing a candidate nuclease protein, including a constitutive promoter CMV (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 405) that can initiate transcription in eukaryotic cells, a candidate nuclease sequence (sequence shown in Table 1), a 5'-nuclear localization signal peptide sequence (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 406), a 3'-nuclear localization signal peptide sequence (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 407), a poly(A) sequence that terminates transcription (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 408), and an ampicillin resistance gene sequence (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 409). A method for constructing plasmid 1 is described in Example 1.

[0117] The reRNA-targeted sequence plasmid (plasmid 4) contains the reRNA sequence (as shown in Table 1), a 20nt targeted sequence of an endogenous gene inserted at the 3' end of the reRNA sequence (as shown in Table 3), a U6 promoter (as shown in Sequence ID No. 410), a PBR322 origin of replication (as shown in Sequence ID No. 411), and an ampicillin resistance gene sequence (as shown in Sequence ID No. 409). In addition, different targeted sequences of the endogenous gene (as shown in Table 2) can identify different targeted genes adjacent to the TAM sequence.

[0118] Method for constructing plasmid 4: 1. Vector preparation. An reRNA plasmid containing a BBSI-BBSI fragment (pUC19-U6-reRNA-BbsI_BbsI) was subjected to enzymatic cleavage using BbsI to obtain a linearized plasmid vector fragment by agarose gel electrophoresis. The enzymatic cleavage band was excised from the gel for recovery to obtain a purified linearized plasmid vector fragment. 2. Preparation of the 20nt target sequence of the endogenous gene. First, a 20bp DNA sequence adjacent to the 3' end of the TAM sequence was searched for in the endogenous gene sequence. Subsequently, oligonucleotides of the target sequence with BbsI excised ends were synthesized by primer synthesis. Finally, double-stranded oligonucleotides with sticky ends were synthesized by annealing. 3. Ligation. The target sequence of the endogenous gene was ligated with the linearized pUC19-U6-reRNA-BbsI_BbsI vector fragment using T4 ligase. 4. Transformation and validation. Monoclonal transformants were obtained via LB agar plates to screen for ampicillin resistance, and the exact clones identified by sequencing were used as candidate plasmids for later use.

[0119] 3.2 Cell processing: After culturing HEK293T cells (commercially purchased) until the logarithmic growth phase, they were typsinized into single cells with 0.25% trypsin (Thermo) and then transferred to 48-well cell culture plates pre-coated with PDL (Sigma) in 1 × 10⁶ wells. 5 The cells were added at the cell concentration per well and cultured overnight at 37°C in 5% CO2.

[0120] 3.3 Cell transfection: The two functional plasmids described in 3.1 (a nuclease plasmid and a reRNA-targeted sequence plasmid) were cotransfected into HEK293T cells. Here, 300 ng of the nuclease plasmid and 200 ng of the reRNA-targeted sequence plasmid were added to 48-well cell culture plates, and transfection was performed using lipofectamine™ 2000 (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11668019) in a transfection reagent volume (μL):plasmid mass (μg) ratio of 2:1.

[0121] 3.4 PCR amplification and NGS second-generation sequencing After transfection, cells were cultured for 48 hours, followed by typsinization, harvesting, and extraction of genomic DNA. PCR primers were designed near the target sequence of the endogenous gene, and a PCR product approximately 200 bp long containing a 20 nt target sequence was amplified. The PCR product was sequenced by next-generation sequencing.

[0122] 3.5 Detection Results The results for endogenous gene editing efficiency are shown in Figure 9 and Table 3.

[0123] By analyzing sequence data generated by next-generation sequencing technology, the endogenous gene editing activity of the nuclease was determined by counting the number of base insertions and deletions (indels) generated on the targeted sequence of the endogenous gene. The results showed that the nuclease in this application exhibits good editing efficiency on different endogenous genes.

[0130] Example 4: Detection of nuclease activity in rice protoplasts In this example, nuclease activity in rice protoplasts was evaluated using a pair of synthetic YFP gene reporting vectors (plasmids 5 and 6) constructed using the method described in Example 1 (as shown in Figure 13).

[0131] Plasmid 5 contains promoter ZmUBI (SEQ ID NO: 593), candidate nuclease sequences (as shown in Table 1), NOS terminator (SEQ ID NO: 594), promoter OsU6 (SEQ ID NO: 595), reRNA sequences corresponding to specific nucleases (as shown in Table 1), spacer sequences (SEQ ID NO: 596), and terminator (SEQ ID NO: 597).

[0132] In plasmid 6, the YFP sequence (SEQ ID NO: 598) was split by a spacer sequence (SEQ ID NO: 596) and a TAM sequence corresponding to a specific nuclease in plasmid 5 (as shown in Table 1). Furthermore, the first half of the YFP sequence overlapped with the second half. Plasmid 6 also contains promoter 35S (SEQ ID NO: 599) and terminator (SEQ ID NO: 600).

[0133] After co-transformation of rice protoplasts with plasmids 5 and 6, when the spacer sequence in plasmid 6 is cleaved by the nuclease, the partially overlapping fragment (derived from the central segment of YFP) promotes DSB repair via the homology-dependent DNA repair pathway, thus restoring the normal YFP gene (as shown in Figure 14). Therefore, the cleavage activity of the nuclease can be assessed by observing the number of YFP-positive cells.

[0134] The results of YFP fluorescence are as shown in Figs. 15 to 31, which indicate that 197 nucleases in this application have good cleavage activity in rice protoplasts (TP_A_1, TP_A_2, TP_A_8, TP_A_12, TP_A_18, TP_B_18, TP_B_41, TP_B_46, TP_B_70, TP_B_71, TP_B_72, TP_B_73, TP_C_23, TP_C_67, TP_C_70, TP_C_74, TP_D_1, TP_D_3, TP_D_4, TP_D_8, TP_D_17, TP_D_18, TP_D_23, TP_D_24, TP_D_25, TP_D_27, TP_D_30, TP_D_32, TP_D_40, TP_D_43, TP_D_51, TP_D_59, TP_D_61, TP_D_66, TP_D_67, TP_D_71, TP_D_72, TP_D_73, TP_E_2, TP_E_15, TP_E_17, TP_E_48, TP_F_56, TP_F_71, TP_F_77, TP_F_80, TP_F_83, TP_F_85, TP_G_14, TP_G_19, TP_G_20, TP_G_24, TP_G_43, TP_G_52, TP_G_53, TP_G_61, TP_G_66, TP_G_72, TP_G_75, TP_G_83, TP_G_84, TP_H_1, TP_H_3, TP_H_4, TP_H_5, TP_H_6, TP_H_9, TP_H_11, TP_H_12, TP_H_13, TP_H_15, TP_H_18, TP_H_19, TP_H_20, TP_H_21, TP_H_23, TP_H_24, TP_H_30, TP_H_31, TP_H_32, TP_H_34, TP_H_38, TP_H_39, TP_H_40, TP_H_43, TP_I_1, TP_I_2, TP_I_3, TP_I_4, TP_I_5, TP_I_6, TP_I_7, TP_I_8, TP_I_9, TP_I_10, TP_I_11, TP_I_12, TP_I_13, TP_I_15, TP_I_16, TP_I_17, TP_I_18, TP_I_19, TP_I_20, TP_I_21, TP_I_22, TP_I_24, TP_I_25, TP_I_26, TP_I_29, TP_I_31, TP_I_35, TP_I_37, TP_I_38, TP_I_40, TP_I_41, TP_I_44,TP_I_45, TP_I_46, TP_I_47, TP_I_48, TP_I_49, TP_I_50, TP_I_51, TP_I_52, TP_I_53, TP_I_55, TP_I_56, TP_I_58, TP_I_59, TP_I_61, TP_I_62, TP_I_64, TP_I_65, TP_I_66, TP_I_67, TP_I_7 0, TP_I_71, TP_I_76, TP_I_77, TP_I_79, TP_I_80, TP_I_82, TP_I_84, TP_I_85, TP_I_86, TP_I_87, TP_L_1, TP_L_4, TP_L_5, TP_L_8, TP_L_9, TP_L_10, TP_L_11, TP_L_12, TP_L_15, TP_L_16, TP _L_17, TP_L_21, TP_L_22, TP_L_24, TP_L_25, TP_L_26, TP_L_27, TP_L_28, TP_L_31, TP_L_32, TP_L_34, TP_L_36, TP_L_37, TP_L_39, TP_M_1, TP_M_3, TP_M_7, TP_M_11, TP_M_14, TP_M_17, TP_M _19, TP_M_20, TP_M_24, TP_M_31, TP_M_32, TP_M_33, TP_M_34, TP_M_35, TP_M_37, TP_M_40, TP_M_41, TP_M_43, TP_M_46, TP_M_49, TP_M_58, TP_M_65, TP_M_66, TP_M_67, TP_M_70 and TP_M_78).
