The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and particularly relates to
a DNA aptamer for improving
CRISPR / Cas9 mediated exogenous
gene integration efficiency based on CtIP
protein and application of the
DNA aptamer, and the
nucleotide sequence of the
DNA aptamer is as shown in at least one of SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.10. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the
DNA aptamer for improving
CRISPR / Cas9 mediated exogenous
gene integration efficiency based on CtIP
protein. According to the invention, the key factor CtIP
protein in DNA double-strand breakage repair is taken as a target for the first time, two aptamers are screened, and the donor vector of a
CRISPR / Cas9
system is optimized by utilizing the aptamers, so that the integration efficiency of exogenous genes in HEK-293T cells and
Hela cells is improved. The affinity of the CtIP protein specific DNA aptamer obtained through screening reaches the nanomole level, and the Kd value ranges from 42.56 nM to 407.29 nM. An aptamer is inserted into the
tail end of a homologous arm of a donor carrier, and directional enrichment of a repair template is realized by utilizing an HMEJ mechanism. The aptamer A6913 and / or A13-32 significantly improves the integration efficiency of the exogenous
gene, and the integration efficiency is improved by more than 3 times compared with a control group.
