Description

A mutant of phi29 DNA polymerase with reduced polymerization rate, its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a phi29 DNA polymerase mutant with reduced polymerization rate, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Phi29 DNA polymerase, derived from bacteriophage phi 29 of Bacillus subtilis, is an important enzyme with outstanding properties. It not only possesses highly efficient and continuous synthesis capabilities and strong strand substitution ability, but can also synthesize DNA fragments up to 70kb in length. This makes it an ideal choice for in vitro isothermal DNA amplification processes, eliminating the need for traditional thermal cycling methods. The applications of Phi29 DNA polymerase are extremely wide-ranging, including but not limited to rolling circle amplification (RCA), multiple substitution amplification (MDA), amplification of pathogen genomes and metagenomics, detection of viruses and miRNAs, and sequencing analysis.

[0003] In the context of the development of third-generation sequencing technology, the importance of Phi29 DNA polymerase and its analogues is particularly prominent. Third-generation sequencing technology, with its significant characteristics such as high throughput and long reads, is changing the way we study genomes. The core of this technology lies in the principle of "sequencing while synthesizing," which achieves sequence determination by real-time monitoring of the addition of bases during the synthesis of new DNA strands by the DNA polymerase. In this process, the performance of the polymerase directly affects the success of sequencing. To ensure high-quality sequencing results, in addition to requiring the polymerase to have strong strand substitution capabilities and continuous synthesis capacity, strict requirements are also placed on its polymerization rate.

[0004] Excessively high polymerase rates can have several drawbacks. First, the sequencer may not be able to accurately record each base addition in a timely manner, affecting sequencing accuracy. Second, in cases where the DNA template has a complex structure or is damaged, a rapid synthesis rate can increase the probability of mismatches between the polymerase and the template, thus reducing the quality of sequencing data and blurring the line between false positives and results caused by polymerase errors. Furthermore, a major advantage of third-generation sequencing technology is its ability to directly detect chemical modifications on DNA, such as methylation. This process relies on the subtle pauses that occur when the polymerase encounters modified bases. However, if the polymerization rate is too high, these important pause signals may not be effectively captured, thus diminishing the technology's application value in epigenetic research.

[0005] Therefore, to maximize the advantages of third-generation sequencing technology and ensure the accuracy and reliability of sequencing results, it is essential to carefully regulate the polymerization rate of DNA polymerases involved in the sequencing reaction, finding an optimal balance between sequencing efficiency and high-quality output. This is of great significance for promoting the development of sequencing technology and deepening our understanding of life sciences. Technical issues

Due to the large number of mutant proteins, His-tagged protein purification beads were used for high-throughput purification of the mutant proteins.

[0084] 1. Induced expression of proteins

[0085] (1) Pick a single colony and inoculate it into LB liquid medium containing 100ug / mL Kana resistance, and incubate overnight at 37°C to activate it;

[0096] (2) Take an appropriate amount of Ni-Charged MagBeads into a centrifuge tube and place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic separator to collect the magnetic beads;

[0097] (3) Add 1 mL of Lysis buffer to (2) and invert the tube several times to mix. Collect the magnetic beads using a magnetic separator and discard the supernatant. Repeat this step twice;

[0104] (10) Inject the supernatant containing the eluted protein from (9) into an ultrafiltration tube, centrifuge at 3000xg, replace and concentrate the protein storage buffer, and store at -20℃.

[0105] (11) SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the protein purification status. If there was a single target band with the correct molecular weight, the purification was successful and the amino acid sequence of the phi29 DNA polymerase mutant, as shown in SEQ ID NO.54 to SEQ ID NO.104, was obtained.

[0106] Cy5-dA6P activity test:

[0107] Rolling circle amplification was performed using 72 Ad ssDNA as a template. 10 μM 72 Ad ssDNA and 10 μM 72 RCA Primer were mixed and incubated at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by annealing on ice for 5 min to form the template-primer complex. The template-primer complex, dNTPs (100 nM each of Cy5-dA6P, dTTP, dCTP, and dGTP), 10X phi29 reaction buffer, and commercial phi29 DNA polymerase (1 μM) were incubated at 30 °C for 30 min. The reaction was terminated by adding 0.5 M EDTA; the negative control was without Cy5-dA6P. The sample was mixed with 6x DNA loading buffer and electrophoresed slowly at 100 V for 50 min on a 1% agarose gel. As shown in Figure 2, gel imaging revealed that a large number of long nucleic acid fragments were formed under the above reaction system and conditions.

The stop-flow spectrometer was used, and a single mixing (reactants mixed at a 1:1 ratio) was employed before the reaction. The change in Cy5 fluorescence intensity was detected to determine the rate of change in fluorescence intensity of the first group of Cy5-dC6P. The reaction conditions were a circulating water bath at 30°C for 5 minutes. The stop-flow spectrometer settings were: Bandwidth, 10 nm; Pathlength, 2 mm; Excitation slit size, 2 nm; Excitation wavelength for Cy3 was 550 nm; and emission wavelength for Cy3 was selected using a 665 nm cutoff filter.
