Description

T4 phage recombinase UvsX mutant with wide temperature applicability and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a method for carrying out site-directed mutagenesis on protein by utilizing a protein transformation technology based on genetic engineering, and forms a T4 phage recombinase UvsX mutant with wide temperature adaptability and application thereof.
Background
The isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology is a novel technology introduced after the PCR technology, and provides simplified culture conditions for in vitro nucleic acid amplification. Among them, the Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) has the advantages of simple equipment requirement, fast reaction time, high sensitivity, good specificity and the like due to isothermal property, and is developed very rapidly. The reaction mechanism of the method depends on the homologous recombination process of natural cells, takes a T4 phage DNA replication mechanism system as a blue book, and suggests that the reaction temperature is between 37 ℃ and 42 ℃ and the reaction time is 15-30 min.
The UvsX protein is a DNA recombinase encoded by T4 phage and plays an important role in repair of DNA double strand breaks and restarting of replication forks, and is combined with upstream and downstream primers to form nucleoprotein filaments in the RPA reaction process, the obtained complex searches for homologous sequences in double-stranded DNA, once the homologous sequences are positioned, the complex invades the double-stranded DNA to form a D-ring structure, and the primers hybridize with template chains to initiate a strand exchange reaction.
The current techniques for isothermal amplification of recombinant polymerase based on the development of the company TwistDx Inc in the United kingdom in 2006 (Recombinase Polymerase Amplification, RPA) are described in detail in the United kingdom under the company TwistDx Inc "Recombinase Polymerase Amplification ASSAY DESIGN" (https:// www.twistdx.co.uk/en/support /). The optimum temperature of the reaction is about 37 ℃, and the amplification speed and the sensitivity are reduced at other temperatures. The basic response mechanism of RPA relies on the process of homologous recombination in the natural cellular DNA metabolism, requiring T4 phage DNA recombinase (UvsX), recombinase cofactor (UvsY), single chain binding protein (SSB) three critical proteins. UvsX is combined with a primer with the aid of UvsY to form a nucleoprotein filament, the obtained complex searches for a homologous sequence in double-stranded DNA, once the complex is found, the complex invades the double-stranded DNA to displace one DNA strand to form a D-ring structure, hybridization of the primer and a template strand starts a subsequent strand exchange reaction, the rest of the DNA strand in the displacement is stabilized by SSB, at the moment, uvsX completes its task, and is unloaded from the DNA, so that polymerase completes subsequent nucleic acid amplification. UvsX can be well combined with single-stranded DNA at an adaptive temperature, so that the stable operation of the whole system is ensured, and the in-vitro isothermal nucleic acid amplification is completed.
In the RPA reaction process, the formation of a recombinase-primer complex is a main speed limiting step, the reaction temperature is the most important external determining factor in the RPA reaction, the recommended temperature is limited to 37-42 ℃, and too low or too high temperature can cause the loss of enzyme activity in the preparation, so that the final presented result of a reaction system is affected. In the practical application process, the RPA reaction is influenced by the environmental temperature and the use limitation of instruments, so that false negative or false positive phenomena occur in the RPA reaction, and the wider reaction temperature is needed to ensure that the RPA reaction is normally carried out under various conditions.
Since the UvsX protein of the RPA starting from the T4 phage is combined with the primer to form the nucleoprotein filament to search for a homologous sequence in the double-stranded DNA, in order to ensure that the protein has better applicability, the applicable temperature of the UvsX needs to be widened, if the diagnosis of a sample can be efficiently completed under wider environmental conditions, the field application of the protein is greatly promoted, and the detection efficiency is improved.
