Description

Bacillus anthracis marker detection method based on DNAzyme and CRISPR/Cas12a
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bacillus anthracis detection, and particularly relates to a bacillus anthracis marker detection method based on DNAzyme and CRISPR/Cas12 a.
Background
Bacillus anthracis (Bacillus anthracis), which is a gram-positive aerobic bacterium, is a dangerous strain that can cause anthrax acute infections in domestic animals, wild animals and humans. 2, 6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) is a chemical substance released by bacillus anthracis spores during germination, hydrolysis and heating, accounting for 5-15% of the total dry weight of the spores, and is absent from other natural and synthetic materials and can be used as a biomarker for bacillus anthracis presence. Therefore, the dynamic level of bacillus anthracis can be indirectly measured by accurately detecting the DPA content in a complex sample, and the method has profound significance for preventing and controlling anthracis. Currently, methods for analytical determination of bacillus anthracis mainly include whole genome sequencing, antibody detection and DPA assay.
Wherein, the method for detecting bacillus anthracis by measuring DPA content comprises surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the like. However, these methods have disadvantages of long time, high cost, complicated operation, expensive equipment and professional operations. In addition, DPA analysis is achieved by synthesizing different fluorescent probes. According to the invention patent CN114957679A, DPA is analyzed and measured by synthesizing a metal organic framework material as a fluorescent probe; CN115109584a realizes the analysis and determination of DPA by synthesizing a fluorescent nano-probe composite material; CN106959290a realizes analysis and measurement of DPA by synthesizing a ratio-type rare earth fluorescent probe. Although the detection speed is high, the synthesis of the fluorescent probe is complex, and the operation difficulty is high. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for performing the analytical measurement of DPA that is easy to operate, has high sensitivity and good selectivity, and has no fluorescence labeled.
Deoxyribozymes (dnazymes) are a class of single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules obtained by screening that have catalytic and structural recognition functions and produce a catalytic activity similar to that of proteases under the action of cofactors. DNAzyme mainly comprises two binding sequences at two ends and a middle catalytic active center, and the two binding sequences are hybridized through a base complementary pairing principle; the middle catalytic active center is in a ring-shaped or hairpin structure, and the cofactor is combined to generate the catalytic capability. In the presence of cofactors, the catalytically active sites are activated, intoAnd the substrate chain is cut, and the released enzyme chain enters the next round of cutting reaction, so that the amplification of a target signal is realized. Wherein Cu is 2+ The specific DNAzyme has the advantages of simple preparation, high metal ion selectivity, good programmability, excellent stability, easy modification, stability under severe conditions and the like, and becomes ideal Cu 2+ The platform is identified. DPA and Cu are reported 2+ Has strong chelation, thus Cu can be utilized 2+ The DPA is quantitatively detected by specific DNAzyme. However, considering that a single signal amplification method cannot meet the requirement of micro marker detection, a novel amplification technology needs to be added to further improve the detection sensitivity.
The regularly spaced clustered short palindromic repeats (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR-Associated Protein, cas) system is an adaptive immune system found in most archaea and many bacteria. Wherein the CRISPR/Cas12a system may exhibit trans-cleaving activity on non-target ssDNA after activation by target single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Therefore, the CRISPR/Cas12a system can be used as a high-efficiency signal amplification technology, has shorter reaction time and stronger cutting efficiency, and is used for detecting biomarkers. Currently, most fluorescence analysis methods using CRISPR/Cas12a directly utilize the trans-cleavage property of Cas12a protein, and after target DNA binds to Cas12a-crRNA complex, the ssDNA probe (Reporter) labeled with fluorophore and quencher is trans-cleaved for fluorescence signal output. Chinese patent No. CN112522429A constructs a fluorescent biosensor for detecting bacillus anthracis based on a Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) technology and CRISPR/Cas12 a. After RPA amplification is carried out on bacillus anthracis genome, the product is combined with Cas12a-crRNA complex to cut a Reporter in a trans-form, and analysis and determination of bacillus anthracis are realized by measuring the fluorescence intensity in a system. The method has higher sensitivity, the lowest concentration of the detection template reaches 1 copy/mu L, but the RPA amplification operation adopted by the method is complex and is easy to generate false positive results, and the problem of higher cost, harsh storage conditions and poor stability exists in a Reporter. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop a label-free fluorescence detection method.
G-quadruplexes are stable, non-B-type DNA secondary structures formed by guanine-rich DNA sequences through Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding, and are widely used in the construction of label-free fluorescent biosensors because of their unique fluorescence enhancement properties upon binding to certain fluorescent dyes such as thioflavin T (ThT). Chinese patent No. CN113444816B constructs a colorimetric biosensor based on the activity of the trans-cleavage G-quadruplex of RPA and CRISPR/Cas12a, and is used for detecting bacillus anthracis. The method uses the genome DNA of bacillus anthracis as a template to carry out RPA amplification, and after the RPA amplification product is combined with a Cas12a-crRNA complex, the G-quadruplex is trans-cut, and after the G-quadruplex is combined with methemoglobin (Hemin), the G-quadruplex has peroxidase activity and is expressed in H 2 O 2 The ABTS substrate, which is capable of catalyzing colorless in the presence, appears green. Therefore, the bacillus anthracis can be visually detected according to the color change of the reaction liquid. The method is simple and portable, is suitable for rapid detection of on-site and clinical specimens, but only realizes qualitative detection of bacillus anthracis, and does not further carry out quantitative analysis and determination on bacillus anthracis. Based on the research foundation, the construction of a fluorescent biosensing platform for detecting bacillus anthracis by utilizing the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a on the G-quadruplex has certain feasibility.

s3, DPA-Cu of the step S1 2+ Chelate and Cu of step S2 2+ Mixing the specific DNAzyme, and adding Ascorbic Acid (AA) to make Cu 2+ Is reduced to Cu + And Cu is obtained by copper enzyme catalytic cutting reaction 2+ Specific DNAzyme cleavage products;
s4, uniformly mixing the Cas12a with crRNA shown in SEQ ID No.3, and incubating to form a Cas12a-crRNA complex;
s5, cu in the step S3 2+ Uniformly mixing the specific DNAzyme cleavage product with the Cas12a-crRNA complex in the step S4, adding a cleavage buffer solution, and continuously incubating a guanine (G-rich) rich Sequence (G-rich Sequence) and thioflavin T (ThT) shown in SEQ ID No.4 to perform a CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage reaction and a binding reaction of the G-rich Sequence and the ThT; in the absence of DPA, cu 2+ Specific DNAzyme is activated to cleave cu_sub, cleaved cu_sub cannot bind to Cas12a-crRNA complex, cas12a protein cannot be activated, G-rich Sequence remains intact to form G-quadruplex-ThT complex with ThT, showing a distinct fluorescence intensity at 490 nm; after DPA addition, cu 2+ Chelation with DPA results in deactivation of DNAzyme, binding of intact cu_sub to Cas12a-crRNA complex, activation of trans cleavage activity of Cas12a protein, cleavage of G-rich Sequence, failure to form complex with ThT, and significant decrease in fluorescence intensity.

When DPA is added into the reaction system, since DPA can be mixed with Cu 2+ Chelating reactions occur, resulting in Cu 2+ The specific DNAzyme cannot catalyze cleavage of Cu_sub, the complete Cu_sub specifically binds to Cas12a-crRNA complex, and disruption of trans-cleavage of G-rich Sequence, results in failure to form a complex with ThT, thereby significantly reducing fluorescence intensity.
