Specifically, the invention relates to a base mutation-containing direct repeat sequence and application thereof, and particularly relates to a gRNA (ribonucleic acid) containing the base mutation-containing direct repeat sequence and suitable for a Cas12 protein family and application thereof.
Background
The CRISPR/Cas system is an acquired immune system in bacteria, which is used against foreign DNA, plasmids and phages of the invading bacteria. The CRISPR/Cas system is used for gene editing, has the characteristics of accuracy, low price and easy use, and is widely applied to gene engineering.
CRISPR/Cas systems are divided into 3 classes, the most common being class 2 CRISPR/Cas systems, whose programmable single effector nucleases become convenient tools for gene editing and nucleic acid detection. The single-effect nuclease-Cas protein in the CRISPR/Cas system of the class 2 can cut nucleic acid under the guidance of guide RNA, and the cutting site is mainly positioned near PAM. The guide RNA is double-stranded RNA formed by base pairing of crRNA and tracrRNA, or a gRNA formed by combining crRNA and tracrRNA by artificial modification, and is required to form a stem-loop structure for the guide function. The stem-loop structure is the backbone region where the guide RNA binds to the Cas enzyme. The class 2 CRISPR/Cas system is divided into a type II, a type V and a type VI and is respectively based on a Cas9 protein, a Cas12 protein and a Cas13 protein, wherein the Cas12 protein of the type V CRISPR/Cas system has specific cis cleavage activity and non-specific trans cleavage activity, and the activity provides a new research idea for nucleic acid detection or clinical diagnosis.

Also, the procedures of molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell culture, microbiology, cell biology, genomics, and recombinant DNA, etc., used herein, are all conventional procedures widely used in the corresponding field. Meanwhile, in order to better understand the present invention, the definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.
Cas protein
In the present invention, the expression "Cas protein" refers to a CRISPR protein, the terms "CRISPR/Cas protein", "Cas effector protein", "Cas protein", "single-acting nuclease" are used interchangeably.
The Cas protein, once bound to the signature sequence (target sequence) to be detected (i.e., forming a ternary complex of Cas protein-gRNA-target sequence), can induce its trans cleavage activity, i.e., random cleavage of non-targeted single-stranded nucleotides (i.e., single-stranded nucleic acid detector described herein, preferably single-stranded DNA (ssdna), single-stranded DNA-RNA hybrids, single-stranded RNA). When the Cas protein is combined with the characteristic sequence, the protein can cut or not cut the characteristic sequence to induce the trans cutting activity; preferably, it induces its trans cleavage activity by cleaving the signature sequence; more preferably, it induces its trans activity by cleaving the single-stranded signature sequence. The Cas protein recognizes the characteristic sequence by recognizing PAM (protospacer adjacenttoment motif) adjacent to the characteristic sequence.
The Cas protein of the present invention is a protein having at least trans cleavage activity, preferably, the Cas protein is a protein having cis cleavage activity and trans cleavage activity. The cis cleavage activity refers to the activity that the Cas protein can recognize a PAM site and specifically cleave a target sequence under the action of the gRNA.
The Cas protein is selected from any one or any combination of V-type Cas family proteins; preferably, the Cas family protein is selected from one or any combination of Cas12i, Cas12j, Cas12a, Cas12b, Cas12d, Cas12e, Cas12f, Cas12g and Cas12 h; more preferably, the Cas protein is one or a combination of any two of Cas12i, Cas12j, Cas12a and Cas12 b. More preferably, the Cas protein is Cas12i or Cas12 j.
CRISPR/Cas system
As used herein, the terms "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas)", "CRISPR system", "CRISPR/Cas" are used interchangeably and have the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art, which typically comprise a transcript or other element that is associated with the expression of a CRISPR-associated ("Cas") gene, or a transcript or other element that is capable of directing the activity of said Cas gene.
Guide RNA (guide RNA, gRNA)
As used herein, the terms "guide RNA", "mature crRNA", "guide sequence" are used interchangeably and have the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The gRNA may be a double-stranded RNA formed by base pairing of crRNA and tracrRNA, or a gRNA formed by combining crRNA and tracrRNA into one gRNA through artificial modification.
In general, the guide RNA may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of a Direct Repeat (DR) and a guide sequence (also referred to as a spacer (spacer) in the context of an endogenous CRISPR system).
The direct repeat sequence is also called "framework region", "protein binding segment", "protein binding sequence"; the guide sequence may also be referred to as a "targeting sequence for targeting a nucleic acid" or a "targeting segment of a targeting nucleic acid.
The targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid or the targeting segment of the targeting nucleic acid comprises a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a sequence in the target nucleic acid. In other words, the targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid or the targeting segment of the targeting nucleic acid interacts with the target nucleic acid in a sequence-specific manner through hybridization (i.e., base pairing). Thus, the targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid or the targeting segment of the targeting nucleic acid may be altered or modified to hybridize to any desired sequence within the target nucleic acid. The nucleic acid is selected from DNA or RNA.
The percent complementarity between the targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid or the targeting segment of the targeting nucleic acid and the target sequence of the target nucleic acid can be at least 60% (e.g., at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%).
The "framework region," "protein-binding segment," "protein-binding sequence," or "direct repeat" of a gRNA can interact with a CRISPR protein (or, Cas protein). In the present invention, the direct repeat sequence may form a stem-loop structure, the stem-loop structure is capable of binding with the Cas protein, and the parent direct repeat sequence and the direct repeat sequence with base mutation comprise a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment connected in sequence from 5 'to 3', and the second segment and the fourth segment may form a stem region of the stem-loop structure through base pairing. The gRNA, through the action of the targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid, directs its interacting Cas protein to a specific nucleotide sequence within the target nucleic acid.
Preferably, the guide RNA comprises in the 5 'to 3' direction a direct repeat (direct repeat) and a guide sequence.
In the present invention, the targeting sequence of the targeting nucleic acid or the targeting segment of the targeting nucleic acid is preferably a targeting sequence of the targeting DNA or a targeting segment of the targeting DNA.
In certain instances, the guide sequence is any polynucleotide sequence that is sufficiently complementary to the target sequence to hybridize to the target sequence and direct specific binding of the CRISPR/Cas complex to the target sequence. In one embodiment, the degree of complementarity between a guide sequence and its corresponding target sequence is at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99%, when optimally aligned. Determining the optimal alignment is within the ability of one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, there are published and commercially available alignment algorithms and programs such as, but not limited to, ClustalW, the Smith-Waterman algorithm in matlab (Smith-Waterman), Bowtie, Geneius, Biopython, and SeqMan.
In the context of forming a CRISPR/Cas complex, a "target sequence" refers to a polynucleotide targeted by a guide sequence that is designed to be targeted, e.g., a sequence that is complementary to the guide sequence, wherein hybridization between the target sequence and the guide sequence will promote formation of the CRISPR/Cas complex. Complete complementarity is not necessary as long as there is sufficient complementarity to cause hybridization and promote formation of a CRISPR/Cas complex. The target sequence may comprise any polynucleotide, such as DNA or RNA. In some cases, the target sequence is located intracellularly or extracellularly. In some cases, the target sequence is located in the nucleus or cytoplasm of the cell. In some cases, the target sequence may be located within an organelle of the eukaryotic cell, such as a mitochondrion or chloroplast. Sequences or templates that can be used for recombination into a target locus containing the target sequence are referred to as "editing templates" or "editing polynucleotides" or "editing sequences". In one embodiment, the editing template is an exogenous nucleic acid. In one embodiment, the recombination is homologous recombination.
Single-stranded nucleic acid detector
The single-stranded nucleic acid detector of the present invention refers to a sequence containing 2 to 200 nucleotides, preferably, 2 to 150 nucleotides, preferably, 3 to 100 nucleotides, preferably, 3 to 30 nucleotides, preferably, 4 to 20 nucleotides, and more preferably, 5 to 15 nucleotides. Preferably a single-stranded DNA molecule, a single-stranded RNA molecule or a single-stranded DNA-RNA hybrid.
The single-stranded nucleic acid detector comprises different reporter groups or marker molecules at both ends, and does not present a reporter signal when in an initial state (i.e., an uncleaved state), and presents a detectable signal when the single-stranded nucleic acid detector is cleaved, i.e., presents a detectable difference after cleavage from before cleavage. In the present invention, if a detectable difference can be detected, it is reflected that the target nucleic acid contains a characteristic sequence to be detected; alternatively, if the detectable difference is not detectable, it indicates that the target nucleic acid does not contain the signature sequence to be detected.
Parent or wild type
As used herein, the term "parent" or "wild-type" has the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art to mean a typical form of an organism, strain, gene, or characteristic that, when it exists in nature, is distinguished from a mutant or variant form, which may be isolated from a source in nature and which has not been intentionally modified by man.
Carrier
The term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid molecule to which it is linked. Vectors include, but are not limited to, single-stranded, double-stranded, or partially double-stranded nucleic acid molecules; nucleic acid molecules comprising one or more free ends, free ends (e.g., circular); nucleic acid molecules comprising DNA, RNA, or both; and other various polynucleotides known in the art. The vector may be introduced into a host cell by transformation, transduction, or transfection, and the genetic material elements carried thereby are expressed in the host cell. A vector can be introduced into a host cell to thereby produce a transcript, protein, or peptide, including from a protein, fusion protein, isolated nucleic acid molecule, etc. (e.g., a CRISPR transcript, such as a nucleic acid transcript, protein, or enzyme) as described herein. A vector may contain a variety of elements that control expression, including, but not limited to, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. In addition, the vector may contain a replication initiation site.
One type of vector is a "plasmid," which refers to a circular double-stranded DNA loop into which additional DNA segments can be inserted, for example, by standard molecular cloning techniques.
Another type of vector is a viral vector, in which the virus-derived DNA or RNA sequences are present in a vector for packaging of viruses (e.g., retroviruses, replication-defective retroviruses, adenoviruses, replication-defective adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses). Viral vectors also comprise polynucleotides carried by viruses for transfection into a host cell. Certain vectors (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors) are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced.
Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) are integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. Moreover, certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operably linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as "expression vectors".
Host cell
As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell that can be used to introduce a vector, and includes, but is not limited to, prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, eukaryotic cells such as microbial cells, fungal cells, animal cells, and plant cells.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the design of an expression vector may depend on factors such as the choice of host cell to be transformed, the level of expression desired, and the like.
Regulatory element
As used herein, the term "regulatory element" is intended to include promoters, enhancers, Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRES), and other expression control elements (e.g., transcription termination signals such as polyadenylation signals and poly-U sequences), which are described in detail with reference to gordel (Goeddel), "gene expression technology: METHODS IN ENZYMOLOGY (GENE EXPRESSION TECHNOLOGY: METHOD IN ENZYMOLOGY)185, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif. (1990). In some cases, regulatory elements include those sequences that direct constitutive expression of a nucleotide sequence in many types of host cells as well as those sequences that direct expression of the nucleotide sequence only in certain host cells (e.g., tissue-specific regulatory sequences). Tissue-specific promoters may primarily direct expression in a desired tissue of interest, such as muscle, neuron, bone, skin, blood, a particular organ (e.g., liver, pancreas), or a particular cell type (e.g., lymphocyte). In certain instances, the regulatory element may also direct expression in a time-dependent manner (e.g., in a cell cycle-dependent or developmental stage-dependent manner), which may or may not be tissue or cell type specific. In certain instances, the term "regulatory element" encompasses enhancer elements, such as WPRE; a CMV enhancer; the R-U5' fragment in the LTR of HTLV-I ((mol. cell. biol., Vol.8 (1), pp.466-472, 1988); the SV40 enhancer; and the intron sequence between exons 2 and 3 of rabbit β -globin (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., Vol.78 (3), pp.1527-31, 1981).
Promoters
As used herein, the term "promoter" has a meaning well known to those skilled in the art and refers to a non-coding nucleotide sequence located upstream of a gene that promotes expression of a downstream gene. Constitutive (constitutive) promoters are nucleotide sequences that: when operably linked to a polynucleotide that encodes or defines a gene product, it results in the production of the gene product in the cell under most or all physiological conditions of the cell. An inducible promoter is a nucleotide sequence that, when operably linked to a polynucleotide that encodes or defines a gene product, causes the gene product to be produced intracellularly substantially only when an inducer corresponding to the promoter is present in the cell. A tissue-specific promoter is a nucleotide sequence that: when operably linked to a polynucleotide that encodes or defines a gene product, it results in the production of the gene product in the cell substantially only if the cell is of the tissue type to which the promoter corresponds.
Is operably connected to
As used herein, the term "operably linked" is intended to mean that the nucleotide sequence of interest is linked to the one or more regulatory elements in a manner that allows for expression of the nucleotide sequence (e.g., in an in vitro transcription/translation system or in a host cell when the vector is introduced into the host cell).
Complementarity
As used herein, the term "complementarity" refers to the ability of a nucleic acid to form one or more hydrogen bonds with another nucleic acid sequence by means of a conventional watson-crick or other unconventional type. Percent complementarity refers to the percentage of residues (e.g., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 out of 10 are 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% complementary) in a nucleic acid molecule that can form hydrogen bonds (e.g., watson-crick base pairing) with a second nucleic acid sequence. "completely complementary" means that all consecutive residues of one nucleic acid sequence hydrogen bond with the same number of consecutive residues in a second nucleic acid sequence. As used herein, "substantially complementary" refers to a degree of complementarity of at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% over a region of 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 or more nucleotides, or to two nucleic acids that hybridize under stringent conditions.
Stringent conditions
As used herein, "stringent conditions" for hybridization refer to conditions under which a nucleic acid having complementarity to a target sequence predominantly hybridizes to the target sequence and does not substantially hybridize to non-target sequences. Stringent conditions are generally sequence dependent and vary depending on a number of factors. In general, the longer the sequence, the higher the temperature at which the sequence specifically hybridizes to its target sequence. Non-limiting examples of stringent conditions are described In Thyson (Tijssen) (1993) Laboratory technology-Nucleic Acid Probe Hybridization In biochemistry and Molecular Biology, section I, chapter II, "brief summary of Hybridization principles and Nucleic Acid Probe analysis strategy" ("Overview of principles of Hybridization and Hybridization of Nucleic Acid Probe assay"), Emericella (Elsevier), New York.
Hybridization of
As used herein, the term "hybridization" refers to a reaction in which one or more polynucleotides react to form a complex that is stabilized via hydrogen bonding of bases between the nucleotide residues. Hydrogen bonding can occur by means of watson-crick base pairing, Hoogstein binding, or in any other sequence specific manner. The complex may comprise two strands forming a duplex, three or more strands forming a multi-stranded complex, a single self-hybridizing strand, or any combination of these. The hybridization reaction may constitute a step in a broader process, such as the initiation of PCR, or the cleavage of a polynucleotide by an enzyme. Sequences that are capable of hybridizing to a given sequence are referred to as "complements" of the given sequence.
Expression of
As used herein, the term "expression" refers to the process by which a polynucleotide is transcribed from a DNA template (e.g., into mRNA or other RNA transcript) and/or the process by which transcribed mRNA is subsequently translated into a peptide, polypeptide, or protein. The transcripts and encoded polypeptides may be collectively referred to as "gene products". If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, expression may include splicing of mRNA in eukaryotic cells.
Joint
As used herein, the term "linker" refers to a linear polypeptide formed from a plurality of amino acid residues joined by peptide bonds. The linker of the present invention may be an artificially synthesized amino acid sequence, or a naturally occurring polypeptide sequence, such as a polypeptide having a hinge region function. Such linker polypeptides are well known in the art (see, e.g., Holliger, P. et al (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 6444-.
Animal(s) production
For example, a mammal, such as a bovine, equine, ovine, porcine, canine, feline, lagomorph, rodent (e.g., mouse or rat), non-human primate (e.g., macaque or cynomolgus monkey), or human. In certain embodiments, the subject (e.g., human) has a disorder (e.g., a disorder resulting from a deficiency in a disease-associated gene).
Plant and method for producing the same
The term "plant" is to be understood as including any differentiated multicellular organism capable of photosynthesis, in including crop plants at any stage of maturity or development, in particular monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous plants, vegetable crops, including artichokes, corm cabbages, sesames, leeks, asparagus, lettuce (e.g. head lettuce, leaf lettuce), bok choy, yellow croaker, melons (e.g. melons, watermelons, crow's melon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe), rape crops (e.g. brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, collards, headless cabbages, chinese cabbages, cephalanoplos, carrots, cabbage (napa), okra, onions, celery, chickpea, parsnip, endive, potato, cucurbits (e.g. zucchini, cucurbits, etc, Squash, pumpkin), radish, dried onion, turnip cabbage, purple eggplant (also called eggplant), salsify, endive, shallot, endive, garlic, spinach, green onion, squash, leafy vegetables (greens), beets (sugar and feed beets), sweet potato, lettuce, horseradish, tomato, turnip, and spices; fruit and/or vine crops such as apple, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, pear, plum, prune, cherry, quince, almond, chestnut, hazelnut, pecan, pistachio, walnut, citrus, blueberry, boysenberry (boysenberry), raspberry, gooseberry, loganberry, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, grape, avocado, banana, kiwi, persimmon, pomegranate, pineapple, tropical fruit, pome, melon, mango, papaya, and lychee; field crops, such as clover, alfalfa, evening primrose, meadowfoam, corn/maize (fodder corn, sweet corn, popcorn), hops, jojoba, peanuts, rice, safflower, small grain crops (barley, oats, rye, wheat, etc.), sorghum, tobacco, kapok, legumes (beans, lentils, peas, soybeans), oleaginous plants (oilseed rape, mustard, poppy, olives, sunflowers, coconut, castor oil plants, cocoa beans, groundnuts), arabidopsis, fibrous plants (cotton, flax, hemp, jute), lauraceae (cinnamon, camphor), or a plant such as coffee, sugar cane, tea, and natural rubber plants; and/or bedding plants, such as flowering plants, cactus, fleshy plants and/or ornamental plants, and trees, such as forests (broad leaf and evergreen trees, such as conifers), fruit trees, ornamental trees, and nut-bearing trees, as well as shrubs and other plantlets.

Example 1 optimization of gRNA for Cas12 protein
In this example, in order to improve the activity of Cas12i (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 14), base mutation is performed on the direct repeat sequence of its gRNA, the direct repeat sequence of the different grnas after mutation is shown in SEQ ID nos. 2-11, and the sites of the mutation of the different direct repeat sequences are shown in the following table:
TABLE 1 direct repeat sequences of different types of gRNAs
The wild-type direct repeat (DR-WT) can form a stem-loop structure as shown in FIG. 1, whose sequence from 5 'to 3' end is AGAGAAUGUGUGCAUAGUCACAC; the device sequentially comprises a first section AGAGAAU, a second section GUGUG, a third section CAUAGU and a fourth section CACACAC; wherein the second segment and the fourth segment may form a stem region of a stem-loop structure. DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17, and DR-18 have 1 base mutation at different bases of the fourth segment, respectively, compared with DR-WT, resulting in 1 mismatched base pair in the stem region portion of the stem-loop structure formed by them.
Example 2 agarose gel electrophoresis method to detect cis cleavage activity of Cas12i under the action of different gRNAs
1. Design of target sequences
Amplifying a sequence shown as SEQ ID No.12 by PCR to obtain a PCR double-chain product; and selecting a targeting sequence of gRNA on the PCR product as follows: AUGCAGAGUUCACUUUUG, respectively; the gRNA containing DR area shown in SEQ ID No.1-11 is adopted, the homodromous repetitive sequence is connected with the target sequence to obtain different gRNAs, and the homodromous repetitive sequence is arranged at the 5' end of the target sequence.
Cis cleavage Activity detection
Samples were loaded as follows except that different grnas comprising DR regions as shown in SEQ ID nos. 1 to 11 were added to the samples, respectively. After the completion of the sample addition, the reaction was carried out at 37 ℃ for 30min, and then the protein was inactivated at 80 ℃ for 20 min.
After completion of the reaction, gels were run on a 2% PAGE gel and the results are shown in FIG. 2:
the top band is the PCR product which is not cut by the Cas protein, the total length is 613bp, the middle band and the bottom band are the products of the PCR product which is cut by the Cas protein, and the middle band and the bottom band are respectively about 400bp and about 210bp, which are in line with the expectation of the designed target sequence. The rightmost lane is the PCR product control, only the top band, and very dark, no other miscellaneous bands, can prove the middle band and the lowest band is PCR product cutting and formation.
Comparing different lanes corresponding to different gRNAs, after the same time of cleavage reaction, PCR products of DR-WT (i 3-WT in the figure) and DR-7, DR-8, DR-9, DR-10 and DR-11 all have three bands, but only one obvious bright band is existed in DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17 and DR-18, namely, full-length PCR products, and the cleavage product band is very weak. That is, the cis-cleavage activity of Cas12i did not change much for grnas comprising mutations DR-7, DR-8, DR-9, DR-10, DR-11 when used with Cas12i for gene editing compared to wild-type grnas; gRNAs comprising mutated DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17, DR-18 have significantly reduced cis cleavage activity of Cas12i when used with Cas12i for gene editing.
Example 3 fluorescence assay to detect trans cleavage activity of Cas12i by different gRNAs
This embodiment employs the following protocol to detect changes in trans cleavage activity of Cas12i under the action of different grnas. The present embodiment is based on the principle that the gRNA is used to guide Cas12i protein to recognize and bind to a target nucleic acid; subsequently, the Cas12i protein activates trans cleavage activity, a single-stranded nucleic acid detector in the cleavage system; the two ends of the single-stranded nucleic acid detector are respectively provided with a fluorescent group and a quenching group, if the single-stranded nucleic acid detector is cut, fluorescence is excited, and the trans cutting activity of the Cas12i is reflected by a fluorescence value.
1. Design of target sequences
The targeting sequence of gRNA is: AUGCAGAGUUCACUUUUG are provided. The gRNA containing DR area shown in SEQ ID No.1-11 is adopted, the homodromous repetitive sequence is connected with the target sequence to obtain different gRNAs, and the homodromous repetitive sequence is arranged at the 5' end of the target sequence.
Trans cleavage Activity detection
Samples were loaded as follows except that different gRNAs containing DR regions as shown in SEQ ID NOS: 1-11 were added to the samples, respectively. After the completion of the sample addition, the reaction was carried out at 37 ℃ for 30min, and fluorescence was taken every one minute using a fluorescent PCR instrument.
In this embodiment, dsDNA (shown in SEQ ID No. 12) and ssDNA (shown in SEQ ID No. 13) are used to detect trans cleavage activity against a double-stranded target nucleic acid (dsDNA) and a single-stranded target nucleic acid (ssDNA) of different grnas, respectively.
The Reporter is a single-stranded nucleic acid detector.
The results are shown in FIG. 3: each gRNA corresponds to three fluorescent strips, NTC is the fluorescence value of the blank, the fluorescence value of ssDNA represents the trans activity of Cas protein with ssDNA as target nucleic acid, and the fluorescence value of dsDNA represents the trans activity of Cas protein with dsDNA as target nucleic acid.
Comparing fluorescence values corresponding to different gRNAs, fluorescence values of dsDNA corresponding to DR-WT (WT in the drawing) and DR-7, DR-8, DR-9, DR-10 and DR-11 are not obviously different from fluorescence values of ssDNA; however, the fluorescence values of dsDNA of DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17, DR-18 decreased significantly compared to DR-WT (WT in the figure), but the fluorescence values of ssDNA remained or decreased slightly.
In connection with examples 2-3, it was shown that grnas comprising mutations DR-7, DR-8, DR-9, DR-10, DR-11 did not significantly change the cis and trans cleavage activity of Cas12i when used with Cas12i for gene editing, compared to wild-type grnas.
gRNAs comprising mutated DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17, DR-18, when used with Cas12i for gene editing, significantly reduced cis cleavage activity of Cas12i (FIG. 2); however, the trans activity can be largely retained, at least the trans activity is reduced to a much lower extent than the cis activity, especially at least 60% when ssDNA is used as the target nucleic acid. To some extent, when the gRNA containing the mutated DR-14, DR-15, DR-16, DR-17, DR-18 is used together with Cas12i for gene editing, the ratio of trans cleavage activity to cis cleavage activity of Cas12i (trans cleavage activity/cis cleavage activity) is significantly increased, which can expand the application space of the Cas protein, especially for the application scenario when the cis activity of the Cas protein needs to be inhibited while the trans activity thereof is retained.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, those skilled in the art will understand that: various modifications and changes in detail can be made in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure, and such changes are intended to be within the scope of the present invention. A full appreciation of the invention is gained by taking the entire specification as a whole in the light of the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.
