The invention belongs to the technical field of biological
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to application of a PRKRA
gene as a target spot in inhibition of
peste des petits ruminants virus replication. The invention firstly finds that by inhibiting or silencing the host PRKRA
gene, the replication of the
peste des petits ruminants virus can be inhibited, and the PRKRA
gene can be used as a target spot for preparing the
medicine for inhibiting the replication of the
peste des petits ruminants virus; secondly, by taking the PRKRA gene as a target spot, the
small interfering RNA is designed, and the
small interfering RNA can interfere with the replication of the
peste des petits ruminants virus and can be used for preparing a
medicine for inhibiting the replication of the
peste des petits ruminants virus; moreover, the invention provides sgRNA for specifically targeting the PRKRA gene, the sgRNA can specifically target the PRKRA gene, complete knockout of the PRKRA gene is realized by combining with a
CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and the obtained
monoclonal cell line PRKRA-KOs has a resistance
phenotype to PPRV, can significantly inhibit duplication of PPRV in cells, and a research tool and a material are provided for further researching a
molecular mechanism of the PRKRA gene for regulating and controlling
pathogenic microorganism replication in cells.
