Description
- This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/124,021, filed Nov. 9, 2016; which is the U.S. national phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/JP2015/056436, filed Mar. 4, 2015; which claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-043348, filed on Mar. 5, 2014, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-201859, filed on Sep. 30, 2014, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.
- Incorporated by reference in its entirety herein is a computer-readable nucleotide/amino acid sequence listing submitted concurrently herewith and identified as follows: 96.9 KB ASCII (Text) file named “150161_401C1_SEQ_LISTING.txt” created Mar. 30, 2020.
- The present invention relates to a modification method of a genome sequence, which enables modification of a nucleic acid base in a particular region of a genome, without cleaving double-stranded DNA (with no cleavage or single strand cleavage), and without inserting a foreign DNA fragment, and a complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme used therefor.
- In recent years, genome editing is attracting attention as a technique for modifying the target gene and genome region of interest in various species. Conventionally, as a method of genome editing, a method utilizing an artificial nuclease comprising a combination of a molecule having a sequence-independent DNA cleavage ability and a molecule having a sequence recognition ability has been proposed (non-patent document 1).
- For example, a method of performing recombination at a target gene locus in DNA in a plant cell or insect cell as a host, by using a zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) wherein a zinc finger DNA binding domain and a non-specific DNA cleavage domain are linked (patent document 1); a method of cleaving or modifying a target gene in a particular nucleotide sequence or a site adjacent thereto by using TALEN wherein a transcription activator-like (TAL) effector, which is a DNA binding module that the plant pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas has, and a DNA endonuclease are linked (patent document 2); a method utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 system wherein DNA sequence CRISPR (Clustered Regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), that functions in an acquired immune system possessed by eubacterium and archaebacterium, and nuclease Cas (CRISPR-associated) protein family having an important function along with CRISPR are combined (patent document 3) and the like have been reported. Furthermore, a method of cleaving a target gene in the vicinity of a particular sequence, by using artificial nuclease wherein a PPR protein configured to recognize a particular nucleotide sequence by a series of PPR motifs each consisting of 35 amino acids and recognizing one nucleic acid base, and nuclease are linked (patent document 4) has also been reported.

- The genome editing techniques heretofore been proposed basically presuppose double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB). However, since they involve unexpected genome modifications, side effects such as strong cytotoxicity, chromosomal rearrangement and the like occur, and they have common problems of impaired reliability in gene therapy, extremely small number of surviving cells by nucleotide modification, and difficulty in genetic modification itself in primate ovum and unicellular microorganisms.
- Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel method of genome editing for modifying a nucleic acid base of a particular sequence of a gene without DSB or insertion of foreign DNA fragment, i.e., by non-cleavage of a double stranded DNA or single strand cleavage, and a complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme therefor.
- The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems and taken note of adopting base conversion by a conversion reaction of DNA base, without accompanying DSB. The base conversion reaction by a deamination reaction of DNA base is already known; however, targeting any site by recognizing a particular sequence of DNA, and specifically modifying the targeted DNA by base conversion of DNA bases has not been realized yet.
- Therefore, deaminase, that catalyzes a deamination reaction, was used as an enzyme for such conversion of nucleic acid bases, and linked to a molecule having a DNA sequence recognition ability, thereby a genome sequence was modified by nucleic acid base conversion in a region containing a particular DNA sequence.
- Specifically, CRISPR-Cas system (CRISPR-mutant Cas) was used. That is, a DNA encoding an RNA molecule, wherein genome specific CRISPR-RNA:crRNA (gRNA) containing a sequence complementary to a target sequence of a gene to be modified is linked to an RNA for recruiting Cas protein (trans-activating crRNA: tracrRNA) was produced. On the other hand, a DNA wherein a DNA encoding a mutant Cas protein (dCas), wherein cleavage ability of one or both strands of a double stranded DNA is inactivated and a deaminase gene are linked, was produced. These DNAs were introduced into a host yeast cell which comprises a gene to be modified. As a result, mutation could be introduced randomly within the range of several hundred nucleotides of the gene of interest including the target sequence. Compared to when a double mutant Cas protein, which do not cleave both of DNA strands in the double stranded DNA, was used, the mutation introduction efficiency increased when a mutant Cas protein which cleave of either one of the strands was used. In addition, it was clarified that the area of mutation region and variety of mutation vary depending on which of the DNA double strand is cleaved. Furthermore, mutation could be introduced extremely efficiently by targeting a plurality of regions in the target gene of interest. That is, a host cell introduced with DNA was seeded in a nonselective medium, and the sequence of the target gene of interest was examined in randomly selected colonies. As a result, introduction of mutation was confirmed in almost all colonies. It was also confirmed that genome editing can be simultaneously performed at a plurality of sites by targeting certain region in two or more target genes of interest. It was further demonstrated that the method can simultaneously introduce mutation into alleles of diploid or polyploid genomes, can introduce mutation into not only eukaryotic cells but also prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli, and is widely applicable irrespective of species. It was also found that editing of essential gene, which showed low efficiency heretofore, can be efficiently performed by transiently performing a nucleic acid base conversion reaction at a desired stage.
- The present inventors have conducted further studies based on these findings and completed the present invention.
- Accordingly, the present invention is as described below.
- [1] A method of modifying a targeted site of a double stranded DNA, comprising a step of contacting a complex wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module that specifically binds to a target nucleotide sequence in a selected double stranded DNA and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are linked, with said double stranded DNA, to convert one or more nucleotides in the targeted site to other one or more nucleotides or delete one or more nucleotides, or insert one or more nucleotides into said targeted site, without cleaving at least one strand of said double stranded DNA in the targeted site.

- [17] The method of any of [9]- [16], wherein the cell is a polyploid cell, and a site in any targeted allele on a homologous chromosome is modified.
- [18] The method of any of [8]- [17], comprising a step of introducing an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding the complex in a form permitting control of an expression period into the cell, and a step of inducing expression of the nucleic acid for a period necessary for stabilizing the modification of the targeted site in the double stranded DNA.

- [21] A nucleic acid encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of [20].
- According to the genome editing technique of the present invention, since it is not associated with insertion of a foreign DNA or double-stranded DNA breaks, the technique is superior in safety. The technique has some possibility of providing a solution in cases where conventional methods were considered as a gene recombination, and thus biologically or legally controversial. It is also theoretically possible to set a wide range of mutation introduction from a pin point of one base to several hundred bases, and the technique can also be applied to local evolution induction by introduction of random mutation into a particular limited region, which has been almost impossible heretofore.

The method characteristically comprises a step of contacting a complex wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module that specifically binds to the target nucleotide sequence in the double stranded DNA and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are linked, with the double stranded DNA to convert the targeted site, i.e., the target nucleotide sequence and nucleotides in the vicinity thereof, to other nucleotides.
- In the present invention, the “modification” of a double stranded DNA means that a nucleotide (e.g., dC) on a DNA strand is converted to another nucleotide (e.g., dT, dA or dG), or deleted, or a nucleotide or a nucleotide sequence is inserted between certain nucleotides on the DNA strand. While the double stranded DNA to be modified is not particularly limited, it is preferably a genomic DNA. The “targeted site” of a double stranded DNA means the entire or partial “target nucleotide sequence”, which a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module specifically recognizes and binds to, or the vicinity of the target nucleotide sequence (one or both of 5′ upstream and 3′ downstream), and the length thereof can be appropriately adjusted between 1 base and several hundred bases according to the object.
- In the present invention, the “nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module” means a molecule or molecule complex having an ability to specifically recognize and bind to a particular nucleotide sequence (i.e., target nucleotide sequence) on a DNA strand. Binding of the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module to a target nucleotide sequence enables a nucleic acid base converting enzyme linked to the module to specifically act on a targeted site of a double stranded DNA.
- In the present invention, the “nucleic acid base converting enzyme” means an enzyme capable of converting a target nucleotide to another nucleotide by catalyzing a reaction for converting a substituent on a purine or pyrimidine ring on a DNA base to another group or atom, without cleaving the DNA strand.
- In the present invention, the “nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex” means a molecular complex comprising a complex of the above-mentioned nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module linked with a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, wherein the complex has nucleic acid base converting enzyme activity and is imparted with a particular nucleotide sequence recognition ability. The “complex” used herein encompasses not only one composed of a plurality of molecules, but also a single molecule having a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme such as a fusion protein.
- The nucleic acid base converting enzyme used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can catalyze the above-mentioned reaction, and examples thereof include deaminase belonging to the nucleic acid/nucleotide deaminase superfamily, which catalyzes a deamination reaction that converts an amino group to a carbonyl group. Preferable examples thereof include cytidine deaminase capable of converting cytosine or 5-methylcytosine to uracil or thymine, respectively, adenosine deaminase capable of converting adenine to hypoxanthine, guanosine deaminase capable of converting guanine to xanthine and the like. As cytidine deaminase, more preferred is activation-induced cytidine deaminase (hereinafter also referred to as AID), which is an enzyme that introduces a mutation into an immunoglobulin gene in the acquired immunity of vertebrate or the like.
- While the origin of nucleic acid base converting enzyme is not particularly limited, for example, PmCDA1 (Petromyzon marinus cytosine deaminase 1) from Petromyzon marinus, or AID (Activation-induced cytidine deaminase; AICDA) from mammal (e.g., human, swine, bovine, horse, monkey etc) can be used. The base sequence and amino acid sequence of CDS of PmCDA1 are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2, respectively, and the base sequence and amino acid sequence of CDS of human AID are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 4, respectively.
- A target nucleotide sequence in a double stranded DNA to be recognized by the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module in the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the module specifically binds to any sequence in the double stranded DNA. The length of the target nucleotide sequence only needs to be sufficient for specific binding of the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module. For example, when mutation is introduced into a particular site in the genomic DNA of a mammal, it is not less than 12 nucleotides, preferably not less than 15 nucleotides, more preferably not less than 17 nucleotides, according to the genome size thereof. While the upper limit of the length is not particularly limited, it is preferably not more than 25 nucleotides, more preferably not more than 22 nucleotides.
- As the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module in the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention, CRISPR-Cas system wherein at least one DNA cleavage ability of Cas is inactivated (CRISPR-mutant Cas), zinc finger motif, TAL effector and PPR motif and the like, as well as a fragment containing a DNA binding domain of a protein that specifically binds to DNA such as restriction enzyme, transcription factor, RNA polymerase or the like, and not having a DNA double strand cleavage ability and the like can be used, but the module is not limited thereto. Preferably, the modules include CRISPR-mutant Cas, zinc finger motif, TAL effector, PPR motif and the like.
- A zinc finger motif is constructed by linking 3-6 different Cys2His2 type zinc finger units (1 finger recognizes about 3 bases), and can recognize a target nucleotide sequence of 9-18 bases. A zinc finger motif can be produced by a known method such as Modular assembly method (Nat Biotechnol (2002) 20: 135-141), OPEN method (Mol Cell (2008) 31: 294-301), CoDA method (Nat Methods (2011) 8: 67-69), Escherichia coli one-hybrid method (Nat Biotechnol (2008) 26:695-701) and the like. The above-mentioned
patent document 1 can be referred to as for the detail of the zinc finger motif production. - A TAL effector has a module repeat structure with about 34 amino acids as a unit, and the 12th and 13th amino acid residues (called RVD) of one module determine the binding stability and base specificity. Since each module is highly independent, TAL effector specific to a target nucleotide sequence can be produced by simply linking the modules. For TAL effector, production methods utilizing an open resource (REAL method (Curr Protoc Mol Biol (2012) Chapter 12: Unit 12.15), FLASH method (Nat Biotechnol (2012) 30: 460-465), and Golden Gate method (Nucleic Acids Res (2011) 39: e82) etc) have been established, and a TAL effector for a target nucleotide sequence can be designed relatively easily. The above-mentioned
patent document 2 can be referred to as for the detail of the production of TAL effector. - PPR motif is constructed such that a particular nucleotide sequence is recognized by a series of PPR motifs each consisting of 35 amino acids and recognizing one nucleic acid base, and recognizes a target base only by 1, 4 and ii(−2) amino acids of each motif. Motif configuration has no dependency, and is free of interference of motifs on both sides. Therefore, similar to TAL effector, a PPR protein specific to the target nucleotide sequence can be produced by simply linking PPR motifs. The above-mentioned
patent document 4 can be referred to as for the detail of the production of PPR motif. - When a fragment of a restriction enzyme, transcription factor, RNA polymerase or the like is used, since the DNA binding domains of these proteins are well known, a fragment containing said domain and not having a DNA double strand cleavage ability can be easily designed and constructed.
- Any of the above-mentioned nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module can be provided as a fusion protein with the above-mentioned nucleic acid base converting enzyme, or a protein binding domain such as SH3 domain, PDZ domain, GK domain, GB domain and the like and a binding partner thereof may be fused with a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, respectively, and provided as a protein complex via an interaction of the domain and a binding partner thereof. Alternatively, a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme may be each fused with intein, and they can be linked by ligation after protein synthesis.
- The nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention containing a complex (including fusion protein), wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are linked, may be contacted with a double stranded DNA as an enzyme reaction in a cell-free system. In view of the main object of the present invention, it is desirable to perform the contact by introducing a nucleic acid encoding the complex into a cell having the double stranded DNA of interest (e.g., genomic DNA).
- Therefore, the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and the nucleic acid base converting enzyme are preferably prepared as a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein thereof, or as nucleic acids encoding each of them in a form capable of forming a complex in a host cell after translation into a protein by utilizing a binding domain, intein or the like. The nucleic acid here may be a DNA or an RNA. When it is a DNA, it is preferably a double stranded DNA, and provided in the form of an expression vector disposed under regulation of a functional promoter in a host cell. When it is an RNA, it is preferably a single stranded RNA.
- Since the complex of the present invention wherein a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are linked, is not associated with double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB), genome editing with low toxicity is possible, and the genetic modification method of the present invention can be applied to a wide range of biological materials. Therefore, the cells into which nucleic acid encoding nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or nucleic acid base converting enzyme is introduced can encompass cells of any species, from cells of microorganisms, such as bacterium,such as Escherichia coli and the like which are prokaryotes, such as yeast and the like which are lower eukaryotes, to cells of higher eukaryotes such as insect, plant and the like, and cells of vertebrates including mammals such as human and the like.
- A DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module such as zinc finger motif, TAL effector, PPR motif and the like can be obtained by any method mentioned above for each module. A DNA encoding a sequence-recognizing module of restriction enzyme, transcription factor, RNA polymerase and the like can be cloned by, for example, synthesizing an oligoDNA primer covering a region encoding a desired part of the protein (part containing DNA binding domain) based on the cDNA sequence information thereof, and amplifying by the RT-PCR method using, the total RNA or mRNA fraction prepared from the protein-producing cells as a template.
- A DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can also be cloned similarly by synthesizing an oligoDNA primer based on the cDNA sequence information thereof, and amplifying by the RT-PCR method using, the total RNA or mRNA fraction prepared from the enzyme-producing cells as a template. For example, a DNA encoding PmCDA1 of Petromyzon marinus can be cloned by designing suitable primers for the upstream and downstream of CDS based on the cDNA sequence (accession No. EF094822) registered in the NCBI database, and cloning from mRNA Petromyzon marinus by the RT-PCR method. A DNA encoding human AID can be cloned by designing suitable primers for the upstream and downstream of CDS based on the cDNA sequence (accession No. AB040431) registered in the NCBI database, and cloning from, for example, mRNA from human lymph node by the RT-PCR method.
- The cloned DNA may be directly, or after digestion with a restriction enzyme when desired, or after addition of a suitable linker and/or a nuclear localization signal (each organelle transfer signal when the target double stranded DNA of interest is mitochondria or chloroplast DNA), ligated with a DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module to prepare a DNA encoding a fusion protein. Alternatively, a DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module, and a DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme may be each fused with a DNA encoding a binding domain or a binding partner thereof, or both DNAs may be fused with a DNA encoding a separation intein, whereby the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing conversion module and the nucleic acid base converting enzyme are translated in a host cell to form a complex. In these cases, a linker and/or a nuclear localization signal can be linked to a suitable position of one of or both DNAs when desired.
- A DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be obtained by chemically synthesizing the DNA strand, or by linking partly overlapping synthesized oligoDNA short strands by utilizing the PCR method and the Gibson Assembly method to construct a DNA encoding the full length thereof. The advantage of constructing a full-length DNA by chemical synthesis or a combination of PCR method or Gibson Assembly method is that the codon used can be designed in CDS full-length according to the host into which the DNA is introduced. In the expression of a heterologous DNA, the protein expression level is expected to increase by converting the DNA sequence thereof to a codon which is highly frequently used in the host organism. As the data of codon use frequency in host used, for example, the genetic code use frequency database (www.kazusa.or.jp/codon/index.html) disclosed in the home page of Kazusa DNA Research Institute can be used, or documents showing the codon use frequency in each host may be referred to. By reference to the obtained data and the DNA sequence to be introduced, codons showing low use frequency in the host from those used for the DNA sequence may be converted to a codon coding the same amino acid and showing high use frequency.
- An expression vector containing a DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be produced, for example, by linking the DNA to the downstream of a promoter in a suitable expression vector.
- As the expression vector, plasmids from Escherichia coli (e.g., pBR322, pBR325, pUC12, pUC13); plasmids from Bacillus subtilis (e.g., pUB110, pTP5, pC194); plasmids from yeast (e.g., pSH19, pSH15); insect cell expression plasmids (e.g., pFast-Bac); animal cell expression plasmids (e.g., pA1-11, pXT1, pRc/CMV, pRc/RSV, pcDNAI/Neo); bacteriophages such as λ phage and the like; insect virus vectors such as baculovirus and the like (e.g., BmNPV, AcNPV); animal virus vectors such as retrovirus, vaccinia virus, adenovirus and the like, are used.
- As the promoter, any promoter appropriate for a host used for gene expression can be used. In a conventional method involving DSB, since the survival rate of the host cell sometimes decreases markedly due to the toxicity, it is desirable to increase the number of cells by the start of the induction by using an inductive promoter. However, since sufficient cell proliferation can also be achieved by expressing the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention, a constitutive promoter can also be used without limitation.
- For example, when the host is an animal cell, SRa promoter, SV40 promoter, LTR promoter, CMV (cytomegalovirus) promoter, RSV (Rous sarcoma virus) promoter, MoMuLV (Moloney mouse leukemia virus) LTR, HSV-TK (simple herpes virus thymidine kinase) promoter and the like are used. Of these, CMV promoter, SRa promoter and the like are preferable.
- When the host is Escherichia coli, trp promoter, lac promoter, recA promoter, λPL promoter, Ipp promoter, T7 promoter and the like are preferable.
- When the host is genus Bacillus, SPO1 promoter, SPO2 promoter, penP promoter and the like are preferable.
- When the host is a yeast, Ga1/10 promoter, PHO5 promoter, PGK promoter, GAP promoter, ADH promoter and the like are preferable.
- When the host is an insect cell, polyhedrin promoter, P10 promoter and the like are preferable.
- When the host is a plant cell, CaMV35S promoter, CaMV19S promoter, NOS promoter and the like are preferable.
- As the expression vector, besides those mentioned above, one containing enhancer, splicing signal, terminator, polyA addition signal, a selection marker such as drug resistance gene, auxotrophic complementary gene and the like, replication origin and the like on demand can be used.
- An RNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be prepared by, for example, transcription to mRNA in an in vitro transcription system known per se by using a vector encoding DNA encoding the above-mentioned nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme as a template.
- A complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be intracellularly expressed by introducing an expression vector containing a DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme into a host cell, and culturing the host cell.
- As the host, genus Escherichia, genus Bacillus, yeast, insect cell, insect, animal cell and the like are used.
- As the genus Escherichia, Escherichia coli K12- DH1 [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 60, 160 (1968)], Escherichia coli JM103 [Nucleic Acids Research, 9, 309 (1981)], Escherichia coli JA221 [Journal of Molecular Biology, 120, 517 (1978)], Escherichia coli HB101 [Journal of Molecular Biology, 41, 459 (1969)], Escherichia coli C600 [Genetics, 39, 440 (1954)] and the like are used.
- As the genus Bacillus, Bacillus subtilis M1114 [Gene, 24, 255 (1983)], Bacillus subtilis 207-21 [Journal of Biochemistry, 95, 87 (1984)] and the like are used.
- As the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae AH22, AH22R-, NA87-11A, DKD-5D, 20B-12, Schizosaccharomyces pombe NCYC1913, NCYC2036, Pichia pastoris KM71 and the like are used.
- As the insect cell when the virus is AcNPV, cells of established line from cabbage armyworm larva (Spodoptera frugiperda cell; Sf cell), MG1 cells from the mid-intestine of Trichoplusia ni, High Five™ cells from an egg of Trichoplusia ni, cells from Mamestra brassicae, cells from Estigmena acrea and the like are used. When the virus is BmNPV, cells of established line from Bombyx mori (Bombyx mori N cell; BmN cell) and the like are used as insect cells. As the Sf cell, for example, Sf9 cell (ATCC CRL1711), Sf21 cell [all above, In Vivo, 13, 213-217 (1977)] and the like are used.
- As the insect, for example, larva of Bombyx mori, Drosophila, cricket and the like are used [Nature, 315, 592 (1985)].
- As the animal cell, cell lines such as monkey COS-7 cell, monkey Vero cell, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell, dhfr gene-deficient CHO cell, mouse L cell, mouse AtT-20 cell, mouse myeloma cell, rat GH3 cell, human FL cell and the like, pluripotent stem cells such as iPS cell, ES cell and the like of human and other mammals, and primary cultured cells prepared from various tissues are used. Furthermore, zebrafish embryo, Xenopus oocyte and the like can also be used.
- As the plant cell, suspend cultured cells, callus, protoplast, leaf segment, root segment and the like prepared from various plants (e.g., grain such as rice, wheat, corn and the like, product crops such as tomato, cucumber, egg plant and the like, garden plants such as carnation, Eustoma russeffianum and the like, experiment plants such as tobacco, arabidopsis thaliana and the like) are used.
- All the above-mentioned host cells may be haploid (monoploid), or polyploid (e.g., diploid, triploid, tetraploid and the like). In the conventional mutation introduction methods, mutation is, in principle, introduced into only one homologous chromosome to produce a heterologous geno-type. Therefore, the desired feature is not expressed unless it is a dominant mutation, and making it homologous inconveniently requires labor and time. In contrast, according to the present invention, since mutations can be introduced into all alleles on the homologous chromosome in the genome, desired feature can be expressed in a single generation even in the case of recessive mutation (
FIG. 10 ), which is extremely useful since the problem of the conventional method can be solved. - An expression vector can be introduced by a known method (e.g., lysozyme method, competent method, PEG method, CaCl2 coprecipitation method, electroporation method, the microinjection method, the particle gun method, lipofection method, Agrobacterium method and the like) according to the kind of the host.
- Escherichia coli can be transformed according to the methods described in, for example, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 69, 2110 (1972), Gene, 17, 107 (1982) and the like.
- A vector can be introduced into the genus Bacillus according to the methods described in, for example, Molecular & General Genetics, 168, 111 (1979) and the like.
- A vector can be introduced into a yeast according to the methods described in, for example, Methods in Enzymology, 194, 182-187 (1991), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 75, 1929 (1978) and the like.
- A vector can be introduced into an insect cell and an insect according to the methods described in, for example, Bio/Technology, 6, 47-55 (1988) and the like.
- A vector can be introduced into an animal cell according to the methods described in, for example, Cell Engineering
additional volume 8, New Cell Engineering Experiment Protocol, 263-267 (1995) (published by Shujunsha), and Virology, 52, 456 (1973). - A cell introduced with a vector can be cultured according to a known method according to the kind of the host.
- For example, when Escherichia coli or genus Bacillus is cultured, a liquid medium is preferable as a medium used for the culture. The medium preferably contains a carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic substance and the like necessary for the growth of the transformant. Examples of the carbon source include glucose, dextrin, soluble starch, sucrose and the like; examples of the nitrogen source include inorganic or organic substances such as ammonium salts, nitrate salts, corn steep liquor, peptone, casein, meat extract, soybean cake, potato extract and the like; and examples of the inorganic substance include calcium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium chloride and the like. The medium may contain yeast extract, vitamins, growth promoting factor and the like. The pH of the medium is preferably about 5-about 8.
- As a medium for culturing Escherichia coli, for example, M9 medium containing glucose, casamino acid [Journal of Experiments in Molecular Genetics, 431-433, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York 1972] is preferable. Where necessary, for example, agents such as 3β-indolylacrylic acid may be added to the medium to ensure an efficient function of a promoter. Escherichia coli is cultured at generally about 15-about 43° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- The genus Bacillus is cultured at generally about 30-about 40° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- Examples of the medium for culturing yeast include Burkholder minimum medium [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77, 4505 (1980)], SD medium containing 0.5% casamino acid [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81, 5330 (1984)] and the like. The pH of the medium is preferably about 5-about 8. The culture is performed at generally about 20° C.-about 35° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- As a medium for culturing an insect cell or insect, for example, Grace's Insect Medium [Nature, 195, 788 (1962)] containing an additive such as inactivated 10% bovine serum and the like as appropriate and the like are used. The pH of the medium is preferably about 6.2-about 6.4. The culture is performed at generally about 27° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- As a medium for culturing an animal cell, for example, minimum essential medium (MEM) containing about 5-about 20% of fetal bovine serum [Science, 122, 501 (1952)], Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) [Virology, 8, 396 (1959)], RPMI 1640 medium [The Journal of the American Medical Association, 199, 519 (1967)], 199 medium [Proceeding of the Society for the Biological Medicine, 73, 1 (1950)] and the like are used. The pH of the medium is preferably about 6-about 8. The culture is performed at generally about 30° C.-about 40° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- As a medium for culturing a plant cell, for example, MS medium, LS medium, B5 medium and the like are used. The pH of the medium is preferably about 5-about 8. The culture is performed at generally about 20° C.-about 30° C. Where necessary, aeration and stirring may be performed.
- As mentioned above, a complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, i.e., nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex, can be expressed intracellularly.
- An RNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be introduced into a host cell by microinjection method, lipofection method and the like. RNA introduction can be performed once or multiple times (e.g., 2-5 times) at suitable intervals.
- When a complex of a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme is expressed by an expression vector or RNA molecule introduced into the cell, the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module specifically recognizes and binds to a target nucleotide sequence in the double stranded DNA (e.g., genomic DNA) of interest and, due to the action of the nucleic acid base converting enzyme linked to the nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module, base conversion occurs in the sense strand or antisense strand of the targeted site (whole or partial target nucleotide sequence or appropriately adjusted within several hundred bases including the vicinity thereof) and a mismatch occurs in the double stranded DNA (e.g., when cytidine deaminase such as PmCDA1, AID and the like is used as a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, cytosine on the sense strand or antisense strand at the targeted site is converted to uracil to cause U:G or G:U mismatch). When the mismatch is not correctly repaired, and when repaired such that a base of the opposite strand forms a pair with a base of the converted strand (T-A or A-T in the above-mentioned example), or when another nucleotide is further substituted (e.g., U→A, G) or when one to several dozen bases are deleted or inserted during repair, various mutations are introduced.
- As for zinc finger motif, production of many actually functional zinc finger motifs is not easy, since production efficiency of a zinc finger that specifically binds to a target nucleotide sequence is not high and selection of a zinc finger having high binding specificity is not easy. While TAL effector and PPR motif have a high degree of freedom of target nucleic acid sequence recognition as compared to zinc finger motif, a problem remains in the efficiency since a large protein needs to be designed and constructed every time according to the target nucleotide sequence.
- In contrast, since the CRISPR-Cas system recognizes the sequence of double stranded DNA of interest by a guide RNA complementary to the target nucleotide sequence, any sequence can be targeted by simply synthesizing an oligoDNA capable of specifically forming a hybrid with the target nucleotide sequence.
- Therefore, in a more preferable embodiment of the present invention, a CRISPR-Cas system wherein at least one DNA cleavage ability of Cas is inactivated (CRISPR-mutant Cas) is used as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing the double stranded DNA modification method of the present invention using CRISPR-mutant Cas as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module. - The nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module of the present invention using CRISPR-mutant Cas is provided as a complex of an RNA molecule consisting of a guide RNA complementary to the target nucleotide sequence and tracrRNA necessary for recruiting mutant Cas protein, and a mutant Cas protein.
- The Cas protein used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it belongs to the CRISPR system, and is preferably Cas9. Examples of Cas9 include, but are not limited to, Cas9 (SpCas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes, Cas9 (StCas9) from Streptococcus thermophilus and the like, preferably SpCas9. As a mutant Cas used in the present invention, either a Cas having cleavage ability of both strands of the double stranded DNA is inactivated, or a Cas having nickase activity wherein only one of the cleavage ability of only one of the strands is inactivated, can be used. For example, in the case of SpCas9, a Dl OA mutant wherein the 10th Asp residue is converted to an Ala residue and lacking cleavage ability of a strand opposite to the strand forming a complementary strand with a guide RNA, or H840A mutant wherein the 840th His residue is converted to an Ala residue and lacking cleavage ability of strand complementary to guide RNA, or a double mutant thereof can be used, and another mutant Cas can be used similarly.
- A nucleic acid base converting enzyme is provided as a complex with mutant Cas by a method similar to the linking scheme with the above-mentioned zinc finger and the like. Alternatively, a nucleic acid base converting enzyme and mutant Cas can also be linked by utilizing RNA scaffold with RNA aptamers MS2F6, PP7 and the like and binding proteins thereto. Guide RNA forms a complementary strand with the target nucleotide sequence, mutant Cas is recruited by the attached tracrRNA and mutant Cas recognizes DNA cleavage site recognition sequence PAM (protospacer adjacent motif) (when SpCas9 is used, PAM is 3 bases of NGG (N is any base), and, theoretically, can target any position on the genome). One or both DNAs cannot be cleaved, and, due to the action of the nucleic acid base converting enzyme linked to the mutant Cas, base conversion occurs in the targeted site (appropriately adjusted within several hundred bases including whole or partial target nucleotide sequence) and a mismatch occurs in the double stranded DNA. When the mismatch is not correctly repaired, and when repaired such that a base of the opposite strand forms a pair with a base of the converted strand, or when another nucleotide is further converted or when one to several dozen bases are deleted or inserted during repair, various mutations are introduced (see, e.g.,
FIG. 2 ). - Even when CRISPR-mutant Cas is used as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module, a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme are introduced, desirably in the form of a nucleic acid encoding same, into a cell having a double stranded DNA of interest, similar to when zinc finger and the like are used as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module.
- A DNA encoding Cas can be cloned by a method similar to the above-mentioned method for a DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, from a cell producing the enzyme. A mutant Cas can be obtained by introducing a mutation to convert an amino acid residue of the part important for the DNA cleavage activity (e.g., 10th Asp residue and 840th His residue for Cas9, though not limited thereto) to another amino acid, into a DNA encoding cloned Cas, by a site specific mutation induction method known per se.
- Alternatively, a DNA encoding mutant Cas can also be constructed as a DNA having codon usage suitable for expression in a host cell to be used, by a method similar to those mentioned above for a DNA encoding a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, and in a combination with chemical synthesis or PCR method or Gibson Assembly method. For example, CDS sequence and amino acid sequence optimized for the expression of SpCas9 in eukaryotic cells are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 5 and 6. In the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 5, when “A” is converted to “C” in base No. 29, a DNA encoding a Dl OA mutant can be obtained, and when “CA” is converted to “GC” in base Nos. 2518-2519, a DNA encoding an H840A mutant can be obtained.
- A DNA encoding a mutant Cas and a DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme may be linked to allow for expression as a fusion protein, or designed to be separately expressed using a binding domain, intein or the like, and form a complex in a host cell via protein-protein interaction or protein ligation.
- The obtained DNA encoding a mutant Cas and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be inserted into the downstream of a promoter of an expression vector similar to the one mentioned above, according to the host.
- On the other hand, a DNA encoding guide RNA and tracrRNA can be obtained by designing an oligoDNA sequence linking guide RNA sequence complementary to the target nucleotide sequence and known tracrRNA sequence (e.g., gttttagagctagaaatagcaagttaaaataaggctagtccgttatcaacttgaaaaagtggcaccgagtcggtggtgctttt; SEQ ID NO: 7) and chemically synthesizing using a DNA/RNA synthesizer.
- While the length of the guide RNA sequence is not particularly limited as long as it can specifically bind to a target nucleotide sequence, for example, it is 15-30 nucleotides, preferably 18-24 nucleotides.
- While a DNA encoding guide RNA and tracrRNA can also be inserted into an expression vector similar to the one mentioned above, according to the host. As the promoter, pol III promoter (e.g., SNR6, SNR52, SCR1, RPR1, U6, H1 promoter etc.) and terminator (e.g., T6 sequence) are preferably used.
- An RNA encoding mutant Cas and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be prepared by, for example, transcription to mRNA in an in vitro transcription system known per se by using a vector encoding the above-mentioned mutant Cas and/or DNA encoding a nucleic acid base converting enzyme as a template.
- Guide RNA-tracrRNA can be obtained by designing an oligoDNA sequence in which a sequence complementary to the target nucleotide sequence and known tracrRNA sequence are linked, and chemically synthesizing using a DNA/RNA synthesizer.
- A DNA or RNA encoding mutant Cas and/or a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, guide RNA-tracrRNA or a DNA encoding same can be introduced into a host cell by a method similar to the above, according to the host.
- Since conventional artificial nuclease accompanies Double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB), inhibition of growth and cell death assumedly caused by disordered cleavage (off-target cleavage) of chromosome may occur by targeting a sequence in the genome. The effect thereof is particularly fatal for many microorganisms and prokaryotes, and prevents applicability. In the present invention, mutation is introduced not by DNA cleavage but by a conversion reaction of the substituent on the DNA base (particularly deamination reaction), and therefore, drastic reduction of toxicity can be realized. In fact, as shown in the comparison tests using a budding yeast as a host in the below-mentioned Examples, when Cas9 having a conventional type of DSB activity is used, the number of surviving cells decreases by induction of expression, whereas it was confirmed that the cells continued to grow and the number of surviving cells increased by the technique of the present invention using a combination of mutant Cas and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme in combination (
FIG. 3 ). - The modification of the double stranded DNA in the present invention does not preclude occurrence of cleavage of the double stranded DNA in a site other than the targeted site (appropriately adjusted within several hundred bases including whole or partial target nucleotide sequence). However, one of the greatest advantages of the present invention is avoidance of toxicity by off-target cleavage, which is generally applicable to any species. In one preferable embodiment, therefore, the modification of the double stranded DNA in the present invention is not associated with cleavage of DNA strand not only in a targeted site of a selected double stranded DNA but in other sites.
- As shown in the below-mentioned Examples, when Cas having a nickase activity capable of cleaving only one of the strands of the double stranded DNA is used as a mutant Cas (
FIG. 5 ), the mutation introduction efficiency increases as compared to when mutant Cas which is incapable of cleaving both strands is used. Therefore, for example, besides a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, linking a protein having a nickase activity, thereby cleaving only a DNA single strand in the vicinity of the target nucleotide sequence, the mutation introduction efficiency can be improved while avoiding the strong toxicity of DSB. - Furthermore, a comparison of the effects of mutant Cas having two kinds of nickase activity of cleaving different strand reveals that using one of the mutant Cas results in mutated sites accumulating near the center of the target nucleotide sequence, and using another mutant Cas results in various mutations which are randomly introduced into region of several hundred bases from the target nucleotide sequence (
FIG. 6 ). Therefore, by selecting a strand to be cleaved by the nickase, a mutation can be introduced into a particular nucleotide or nucleotide region at a pinpoint, or various mutations can be randomly introduced into a comparatively wide range, which can be properly adopted according to the object. For example, when the former technique is applied to genetically diseased iPS cell, a cell transplantation therapeutic agent with a lower risk of rejection can be produced by repairing mutation of the pathogenic gene in an iPS cell produced from the patients' own cell, and differentiating the cell into the somatic cell of interest. - Example 7 and the subsequent Examples mentioned below show that a mutation can be introduced into a particular nucleotide almost at a pinpoint. For pinpoint introduction of a mutation into a desired nucleotide, the target nucleotide sequence should be set to show certain regularity of the positional relationship between a nucleotide desired to be introduced with a mutation and the target nucleotide sequence. CRISPR-Cas system is used as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module and AID is used as a nucleic acid base converting enzyme, the target nucleotide sequence can be designed such that C (or G in the opposite strand) into which a mutation is desired to be introduced is at 2-5 nucleotides from the 5′-end of the target nucleotide sequence. As mentioned above, the length of the guide RNA sequence can be appropriately determined to fall between 15-30 nucleotides, preferably 18-24 nucleotides. Since the guide RNA sequence is a sequence complementary to the target nucleotide sequence, the length of the target nucleotide sequence changes when the length of the guide RNA sequence is changed; however, the regularity that a mutation is likely to be introduced into C or G at 2-5 nucleotides from the 5′-end irrespective of the length of the nucleotide, is maintained (
FIG. 12 ). Therefore, by appropriately determining the length of the target nucleotide sequence (guide RNA as a complementary strand thereof), the site of a base into which a mutation can be introduced can be shifted. As a result, restriction by DNA cleavage site recognition sequence PAM (NGG) can also be removed, and the degree of freedom of mutation introduction becomes higher. - As shown in the below-mentioned Examples, when sequence-recognizing modules are produced corresponding to a plurality of target nucleotide sequences in proximity, and simultaneously used, the mutation introduction efficiency drastically increases relative to when a single nucleotide sequence is used as a target (
FIG. 7 ). As the effect thereof, similar mutation induction is realized even when both target nucleotide sequences partly overlap or when the both are apart by about 600 bp. It can occur when both target nucleotide sequences are in the same direction (target nucleotide sequences are present on the same strand) (FIG. 7 ), and when they are opposed (target nucleotide sequences are present on each strand of double stranded DNA) (FIG. 4 ). - As shown in the below-mentioned Examples, the genome sequence modification method of the present invention can introduce mutation into almost all cells in which the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention has been expressed, by selecting a suitable target nucleotide sequence (
FIG. 8 ). Thus, insertion and selection of a selection marker gene, which are essential in the conventional genome editing, are not necessary. This dramatically facilitates and simplifies gene manipulation and extends the applicability to crop breeding and the like since a recombinant organism with foreign DNA is not produced. - Since the genome sequence modification method of the present invention shows extremely high mutation introduction efficiency, and does not require selection by markers, a plurality of DNA regions at completely different positions can be modified as targets (
FIG. 9 ). Therefore, in one preferable embodiment of the present invention, two or more kinds of nucleic acid sequence-recognizing modules that specifically bind to different target nucleotide sequences (which may be present in one target gene of interest, or two or more different target genes of interest, which may be present on the same chromosome or different chromosomes) can be used. In this case, each one of these nucleic acid sequence-recognizing modules and nucleic acid base converting enzyme form a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex. Here, a common nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be used. For example, when CRISPR-Cas system is used as a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module, a common complex of a Cas protein and a nucleic acid base converting enzyme (including fusion protein) is used, and two or more kinds of chimeric RNAs of tracrRNA and each of two or more guide RNAs that respectively form a complementary strand with a different target nucleotide sequences are produced and used as guide RNA-tracrRNAs. On the other hand, when zinc finger motif, TAL effector and the like are used as nucleic acid sequence-recognizing modules, for example, a nucleic acid base converting enzyme can be fused with a nucleic acid sequence-recognizing module that specifically binds to a different target nucleotide. - To express the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention in a host cell, as mentioned above, an expression vector containing a DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex, or an RNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex is introduced into a host cell. For efficient introduction of mutation, it is desirable to maintain an expression of nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex at a given level or above for not less than a given period. From such aspect, introduction of an expression vector autonomously replicatable in a host cell (plasmid etc.) is reliable. However, since the plasmid etc. are foreign DNAs, they are preferably removed rapidly after successful introduction of mutation. Therefore, although it varies depending on the kind of host cell and the like, for example, the introduced plasmid is desirably removed from the host cell after a lapse of 6 hr-2 days from the introduction of an expression vector by using various plasmid removal methods which are well known in the art.
- Alternatively, as long as sufficient expression of a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex for the introduction of mutation is achieved, it is also preferable to introduce mutation into the target double stranded DNA of interest by transient expression by using an expression vector without autonomous replicatability in a host cell (e.g., vector lacking replication origin that functions in a host cell and/or gene encoding protein necessary for replication etc.) or RNA.
- Expression of target gene is suppressed while the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is expressed in a host cell to perform a nucleic acid base conversion reaction. Therefore, it was difficult to directly edit a gene essential for the survival of the host cell as a target gene (result in side effects such as growth inhibition of host, unstable mutation introduction efficiency, mutation of site different from target and the like). In the present invention, direct editing of an essential gene has been successfully and efficiently realized by causing a nucleic acid base conversion reaction at a desired stage, and transiently expressing the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention in a host cell for a period necessary for stabilizing the modification of the targeted site. While the period necessary for a nucleic acid base conversion reaction and stabilizing the modification of the targeted site varies depending on the kind of the host cell, culture conditions and the like, host cells of 2-20 generations are generally considered to be necessary. For example, when the host cell is a yeast or bacterium (e.g., Escherichia coli), expression of a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex needs to be induced for 5-10 generations. Those of ordinary skill in the art can appropriately determine a preferable expression induction period based on the doubling time of the host cell under culture conditions used. For example, when a budding yeast is subjected to liquid culture in a 0.02% galactose inducer medium, the expression induction period is, for example, 20-40 hr. The expression induction period of the nucleic acid encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention may be extended beyond the above-mentioned “period necessary for establishing the modification of the targeted site” to the extent not causing side effects to the host cell.
- As a means for transiently expressing the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention at a desired stage for a desired period, a method comprising producing a construct (expression vector) containing a nucleic acid encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex (a DNA encoding a guide RNA-tracrRNA and a DNA encoding a mutant Cas and nucleic acid base substitution enzyme in the case of CRISPR-Cas system), in a manner that the expression period can be controlled, and introducing the construct into a host cell can be used. The “manner that the expression period can be controlled” is specifically, for example, a nucleic acid encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention placed under regulation of an inducible regulatory region. While the “inducible regulatory region” is not particularly limited, it is, for example, an operon of a temperature sensitive (ts) mutation repressor and an operator regulated thereby in microorganism cells of bacterium (e.g., Escherichia coli), yeast and the like. Examples of the ts mutation repressor include, but are not limited to, ts mutation of cl repressor from λ phage. In the case of λ phage cl repressor (ts), it is linked to an operator to suppress expression of gene in the downstream at not more than 30° C. (e.g., 28° C.). At a high temperature of not less than 37° C. (e.g., 42° C.), it is dissociated from the operator to allow for induction of gene expression (
FIGS. 13 and 14 ). Therefore, the period when the expression of the target gene is suppressed can be minimized by culturing a host cell introduced with a nucleic acid encoding nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex generally at not more than 30° C., raising the temperature to not less than 37° C. at an appropriate stage, performing culture for a given period to carry out a nucleic acid base conversion reaction and, after introduction of mutation into the target gene, rapidly lowering the temperature to not more than 30° C. Thus, even when an essential gene for the host cell is targeted, it can be efficiently edited while suppressing the side effects (FIG. 15 ). - When temperature sensitive mutation is utilized, for example, a temperature sensitive mutant of a protein necessary for autonomous replication of a vector is included in a vector containing a DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention. As a result, autonomous replication becomes impossible rapidly after expression of the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex, and the vector naturally falls off during the cell division. Examples of the temperature sensitive mutant protein include, but are not limited to, a temperature sensitive mutant of Rep101 ori necessary for the replication of pSC101 ori. Rep101 ori (ts) acts on pSC101 ori to enable autonomous replication of plasmid at not more than 30° C. (e.g., 28° C.), but loses function at not less than 37° C. (e.g., 42° C.), and plasmid cannot replicate autonomously. Therefore, a combined use with cl repressor (ts) of the above-mentioned A phage simultaneously enables transient expression of the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention, and removal of the plasmid.
- On the other hand, when a higher eukaryotic cell such as animal cell, insect cell, plant cell and the like is used as a host cell, a DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is introduced into a host cell under regulation of an inducible promoter (e.g., metallothionein promoter (induced by heavy metal ion), heat shock protein promoter (induced by heat shock), Tet-ON/Tet-OFF system promoter (induced by addition or removal of tetracycline or a derivative thereof), steroid-responsive promoter (induced by steroid hormone or a derivative thereof) etc.), the induction substance is added to the medium (or removed from the medium) at an appropriate stage to induce expression of the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex, culture is performed for a given period to carry out a nucleic acid base conversion reaction and, introduction of mutation into the target gene, transient expression of the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex can be realized.
- In Prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli and the like, inducible promoters can also be used. Examples of such inducible promoters include, but are not limited to, lac promoter (induced by IPTG), cspA promoter (induced by cold shock), araBAD promoter (induced by arabinose) and the like.
- Alternatively, the above-mentioned inducible promoters can also be utilized as a vector removal mechanism when higher eukaryotic cells such as animal cell, insect cell, plant cell and the like are used as a host cell. That is, a vector is loaded with a replication origin that can function in a host cell, and a nucleic acid encoding a protein necessary for replication thereof (e.g., SV40 ori and large T antigen, oriP and EBNA-1 etc. for animal cells), and the expression of the nucleic acid encoding the protein is regulated by the above-mentioned inducible promoter. As a result, while the vector is autonomously replicatable in the presence of an induction substance, when the induction substance is removed, autonomous replication does not occur, and the vector naturally falls off during cell division (conversely, autonomous replication becomes impossible by the addition of tetracycline and doxycycline in the case of Tet-OFF system vector).
- The present invention is explained in the following by referring to Examples, which are not to be construed as limitative.
- In the below-mentioned Examples 1-6, experiments were performed as follows.
- Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 strain (requiring leucine and uracil) was cultured in a standard YPDA medium or SD medium with a Dropout composition satisfying the auxotrophicity. The culture performed was standing culture in an agar plate or shaking culture in a liquid medium between 25° C. and 30° C. Transformation was performed by a lithium acetate method, and selection was made in SD medium matching appropriate auxotrophicity. For expression induction by galactose, after preculture overnight in an appropriate SD medium, culture in SR medium overnight with carbon source changed from 2% glucose to 2% raffinose, and further culture in SGal medium for 3 hr to about two nights with carbon source changed to 0.2-2% galactose were conducted for expression induction.
- For the measurement of the number of surviving cells and Can1 mutation rate, a cell suspension was appropriately diluted, and applied on SD plate medium and SD-Arg+60 mg/I Canavanine plate medium or SD+300 mg/I Canavanine plate medium, and the number of colonies that emerge 3 days later was counted as the number of surviving cells. Using the number of surviving colonies in SD plate as the total number of cells, and the number of surviving colonies in Canavanine plate as the number of resistant mutant strain, the mutation rate was calculated and evaluated. The site of mutation introduction was identified by amplifying DNA fragments containing the target gene region of each strain by a colony PCR method, performing DNA sequencing, and performing an alignment analysis based on the sequence of Saccharomyces Genome Database (www.yeastgenome.org).
- DNA was processed or constructed by any of PCR method, restriction enzyme treatment, ligation, Gibson Assembly method, and artificial chemical synthesis. For plasmid, as the yeast/⋅Escherichia coli shuttle vector, pRS315 for leucine selection and pRS426 for uracil selection were used as the backbone. Plasmid was amplified by Escherichia coli line XL-10 gold or DH5α, and introduced into yeast by the lithium acetate method.
- For inducible expression, budding yeast pGa1/10 (SEQ ID NO: 8), which is a bidirectional promoter inducible by galactose, was used. At the downstream of a promoter, a nuclear localization signal (ccc aag aag aag agg aag gtg; SEQ ID NO: 9(PKKKRV; encoding SEQ ID NO: 10)) was added to Cas9 gene ORF from Streptococcus pyogenes having a codon optimized for eukaryon expression (SEQ ID NO: 5) and ORF (SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3) of deaminase gene (PmCDA1 from Petromyzon marinus or hAID from human) was ligated via a linker sequence, and expressed as a fusion protein. As a linker sequence, GS linker (repeat of ggt gga gga ggt tct; SEQ ID NO: 11 (encoding GGGGS; SEQ ID NO: 12)), Flag® tag (gac tat aag gac cacgac gga gac tac aag gat cat gat att gat tac aaa gac gat gac gat aag; SEQ ID NO: 13 (encoding DYKDHDGDYKDHDIDYKDDDDK; SEQ ID NO: 14)), Strep-tag® (tgg agc cac ccg cag ttc gaa aaa; SEQ ID NO: 15 (encoding WSHPQFEK; SEQ ID NO: 16)), and other domains are selected and used in combination. Here, particularly, 2xGS, SH3 domain (SEQ ID NO: 17 and 18), and Flag® tag were ligated and used. As a terminator, ADH1 terminator from budding yeast (SEQ ID NO: 19) and Top2 terminator (SEQ ID NO: 20) were ligated. In the domain integration method, Cas9 gene ORF was ligated to SH3 domain via 2xGS linker to give one protein, deaminase was added with SH3 ligand sequence (SEQ ID NOs: 21 and 22) as another protein, and they were ligated to Ga1/10 promoter on both sides. And they were simultaneously expressed. These were incorporated into pRS315 plasmid.
- In Cas9, mutation to convert the 10th aspartic acid to alanine (D10A, corresponding DNA sequence mutation a29c) and mutation to convert the 840th histidine to alanine (H840A, corresponding DNA sequence mutation ca2518gc) were introduced to remove cleavage ability of either side of DNA strand.
- gRNA as a chimeric structure with tracrRNA (from Streptococcus pyogenes; SEQ ID NO: 7) was disposed between SNR52 promoter (SEQ ID NO: 23) and Sup4 terminator (SEQ ID NO: 24), and incorporated into pRS426 plasmid. As gRNA target base sequence, CAN1 gene ORF, 187-206 (gatacgttctctatggagga; SEQ ID NO: 25) (target 1), 786-805 (ttggagaaacccaggtgcct; SEQ ID NO: 26) (target 3), 793-812 (aacccaggtgcctggggtcc; SEQ ID NO: 27) (target 4), 563-582 (ttggccaagtcattcaattt; SEQ ID NO: 28) (target 2) and complementary strand sequence of 767-786 (ataacggaatccaactgggc; SEQ ID NO: 29) (target 5r) were used. For simultaneous expression of a plurality of targets, using a sequence from a promoter to a terminator as one set, and a plurality of the sets were incorporated into the same plasmid. They were introduced into cells along with Cas9-deaminase expression plasmid, intracellularly expressed, and a complex of gRNA-tracrRNA and Cas9-deaminase was formed.
- To test the effect of genome sequence modification technique of the present invention by utilizing deaminase and CRISPR-Cas nucleic acid sequence recognition ability, introduction of mutation into CAN1 gene encoding canavanine transporter, whose gene deficit results in canavanine-resistance, was attempted. As gRNA, a sequence complementary to 187-206 (target 1) of CAN1 gene ORF was used, a chimeric RNA expression vector obtained by linking thereto tracrRNA from Streptococcus pyogenes, and a vector expressing a protein obtained by fusing dCas9 with impaired nuclease activity by introducing mutations (D10A and H840A) into Cas9 (SpCas9) from Streptococcus pyogenes with PmCDA1 from Petromyzon marinus as deaminase were constructed, introduced into the budding yeast by the lithium acetate method, and coexpressed. The results are shown in
FIG. 2 . When cultured on a canavanine-containing SD plate, only the cells subjected to introduction and expression of gRNA-tracrRNA and dCas9-PmCDA1 formed colony. The resistant colony was picked up and the sequence of CAN1 gene region was determined. As a result, it was confirmed that a mutation was introduced into the target nucleotide sequence (target 1) and the vicinity thereof. - In conventional Cas9 and other artificial nucleases (ZFN, TALEN), inhibition of growth and cell death assumedly caused by disordered cleavage of chromosome occur by targeting a sequence in the genome. The effect thereof is particularly fatal for many microorganisms and prokaryotes, and prevents applicability.
- Therefore, to verify the safety and cell toxicity of the genome sequence modification technique of the present invention, a comparative test with conventional CRISPR-Cas9 was performed. Using sequences (
targets 3, 4) in the CAN1 gene as gRNA target, the surviving cells were counted immediately after the start of expression induction by galactose and at 6 hr after the induction based on the colony forming ability on an SD plate. The results are shown inFIG. 3 . In conventional Cas9, the growth was inhibited and cell death was induced, which decreased the number of surviving cells. In contrast, by the present technique (nCas9 D10A-PmCDA1), the cells could continue to grow, and the number of surviving cells drastically increased. - Whether mutation can be introduced into a targeted gene even when Cas9 and deaminase are not used as a fusion protein but when a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex is formed via a binding domain and a ligand thereof was examined. As Cas9, dCas9 used in Example 1 was used and human AID instead of PmCDA1 was used as deaminase. SH3 domain was fused with the former, and a binding ligand thereof was fused with the latter to produce various constructs shown in
FIG. 4 . In addition, sequences (target 4,5r) in the CAN1 gene were used as gRNA targets. These constructs were introduced into a budding yeast. As a result, even when dCas9 and deaminase were linked via the binding domain, mutation was efficiently introduced into the targeted site of the CAN1 gene (FIG. 4 ). The mutation introduction efficiency was remarkably improved by introducing a plurality of binding domains into dCas9. The main site of mutation introduction was 782nd (g782c) of ORF. - In the same manner as in Example 1 except that D10A mutant nCas9 (D10A) that cleaves only a strand complementary to gRNA, or H840A mutant nCas9 (H840A) that cleaves only a strand opposite to a strand complementary to gRNA was used instead of dCas9, mutation was introduced into the CAN1 gene, and the sequence in the CAN1 gene region of the colony generated on a canavanine-containing SD plate was examined. It was found that the efficiency increases in the former (nCas9 (D10A)) as compared to dCas9 (
FIG. 5 ), and the mutation gathers in the center of the target sequence (FIG. 6 ). Therefore, this method enables pinpoint introduction of mutation. On the other hand, it was found in the latter (nCas9 (H840A)) that a plurality of random mutations were introduced into a region of several hundred bases from the targeted nucleotide (FIG. 6 ) along with an increase in the efficiency as compared to dCas9 (FIG. 5 ). - Similar remarkable introduction of mutation could be confirmed even when the target nucleotide sequence was changed. In this genome editing system using CRISPR-Cas9 system and cytidine deaminase, it was confirmed as shown in Table 1 that cytosine present within the range of about 2-5 bp from the 5′-side of the target nucleotide sequence (20 bp) were preferentially deaminated. Therefore, by setting the target nucleotide sequence based on this regularity and further combining with nCas9 (D10A), precise genome editing of 1 nucleotide unit is possible. On the other hand, a plurality of mutations can be simultaneously inserted within the range of about several hundred bp in the vicinity of the target nucleotide sequence by using nCas9 (H840A). Furthermore, site specificity may possibly be further varied by changing the linking scheme of deaminase.
- These results show that the kind of Cas9 protein can be changed properly according to the object.

FIG. 7 ). In fact, 10-20% of cells had canavanine-resistant mutation (targets 3, 4). In the Figure, gRNA1 andgRNA2 target target 3 andtarget 4, respectively. As deaminase, PmCDA1 was used. The effect thereof was confirmed to occur not only when the sequences partly overlapped (targets 3, 4), but also when they were apart by about 600 bp (targets 1, 3). The effect was found both when the DNA sequences were in the same direction (targets 3, 4) and opposing (targets 4, 5) (FIG. 4 ). - As for the cells (
Targets 3, 4) in which target 3 andtarget 4 were targeted in Example 5, 10 colonies were randomly selected from those grown on a non-selected (canavanine-free) plate (SD plate not containing Leu and Ura) and the sequences of the CAN1 gene region were determined. As a result, mutation was introduced into the targeted site of the CAN1 gene in all examined colonies (FIG. 8 ). That is, editing can be expected in almost all expressed cells by selecting a suitable target sequence according to the present invention. Therefore, insertion of a marker gene and selection, which are essential for the conventional gene manipulation, are not necessary. This dramatically facilitates and simplifies gene manipulation and extends the applicability to crop breeding and the like since a recombinant organism with foreign DNA is not produced. - In the following Examples, experiment techniques shared by Examples 1-6 were performed in the same manner as above.
- In a general gene manipulation method, mutation of only one site is generally achieved by one operation due to various restrictions. Thus, whether a simultaneous mutation operation of a plurality of sites is possible using the method of the present invention was tested.
- Using the ORF of
positions 3 to 22 of Ade1 gene of budding yeast BY4741 strain as the first target nucleotide sequence (Ade1 target 5:GTCAATTACGAAGACTGAAC; SEQ ID NO: 30), and the ORF of positions 767-786 (complementary strand) of Can1 gene as the second target nucleotide sequence (Can1 target8 (786-767; ATAACGGAATCCAACTGGGC; SEQ ID NO: 29), both DNAs encoding chimeric RNAs of two kinds of gRNAs each containing a nucleotide sequence complementary thereto and tracrRNA (SEQ ID NO: 7) were placed on the same plasmid (pRS426), and introduced into BY4741 strain together with plasmid nCas9 D10A-PmCDA1 containing a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein of mutant Cas9 and PmCDA1, and expressed, and introduction of mutation into the both genes was verified. The cells were cultured in an SD drop-out medium (uracil and leucine deficient; SD-UL) as a base, which maintains plasmid. The cells were appropriately diluted, applied on SD-UL and canavaine addition medium and allowed to form a colony. After 2 days of culture at 28° C., colonies were observed, and the incidence of red colony due to Ade1 mutation, and the survival rate in a canavanine medium were respectively counted. The results are shown in Table 2. -
TABLE 2 survival rate in incidence of red Canavanine red colony and medium colony medium (Can) Can survival rate SD-UL 0.54 ± 0.04 +canavanine 0.64 ± 0.14 0.51 ± 0.15 0.31 ± 0.04 - As a phenotype, the proportion of introduction of mutation into both Ade1 gene and Can1 gene was high and about 31%.
- Then, a colony on an SD-UL medium was subjected to PCR amplification followed by sequencing. Regions containing ORF of each of Ade1 and Can1 were amplified, and sequence information of about 500 b sequences surrounding the target sequence was obtained. To be specific, 5 red colonies and 5 white colonies were analyzed to find conversion of the 5th C of Ade1 gene ORF to G in all red colonies and the 5th C to T in all white colonies (
FIG. 9 ). While the mutation rate of the target is 100%, as the mutation rate in light of the object of gene destruction, the desired mutation rate is 50% since the 5th C needs to be changed to G to be a stop codon. Similarly, as for the Can1 gene, mutation was confirmed in the 782nd G of ORF in all clones (FIG. 9 ); however, since only the mutation to C affords canavanine-resistance, the desired mutation rate is 70%. Desired mutations in both genes were simultaneously obtained in 40% clones (4 clones out of 10 clones) by investigation, and practically high efficiency was obtained. - Many organisms have diploid or polyploid genome. In the conventional mutation introduction methods, mutation is, in principle, introduced into only one homologous chromosome to produce a heterologous geno-type. Therefore, desired feature is not obtained unless it is a dominant mutation, and making it homologous requires labor and time. Thus, whether the technique of the present invention can introduce mutation into all target alleles on the homologous chromosome in the genome was tested.
- That is, simultaneous editing of Ade1 and Can1 genes was performed in budding yeast YPH501 strain as a diploid strain. The phenotype of these gene mutations (red colony and canavanine-resistant) is a recessive phenotype, and therefore, these phenotypes do not appear unless both mutations of homologous gene (homologous mutation) are introduced.
- Using the ORF of positions 1173-1154 (complementary strand) of Ade1 gene (Ade1 target 1: GTCAATAGGATCCCCTTTT; SEQ ID NO: 31) or of positions 3-22 (Ade1 target 5: GTCAATTACGAAGACTGAAC; SEQ ID NO: 30) as the first target nucleotide sequence, and the ORF of positions 767-786 (complementary strand) of Can1 gene as the second target nucleotide sequence (Can1 target8: ATAACGGAATCCAACTGGGC; SEQ ID NO: 29), both DNAs encoding chimeric RNAs of two kinds of gRNAs each containing a nucleotide sequence complementary thereto and tracrRNA (SEQ ID NO: 7) were placed on the same plasmid (pRS426), and introduced into BY4741 strain together with plasmid nCas9 D10A-PmCDA1 containing a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein of mutant Cas9 and PmCDA1, and expressed, and introduction of mutation into each gene was verified.
- As a result of colony count, it was found that each characteristic of phenotype could be obtained at a high probability (40% - 70%) (
FIG. 10A ). - To confirm mutation, Ade1 target region of each of white colony and red colony was sequenced to confirm overlapping of sequence signals indicating heterologous mutation in the target site of white colony (
FIG. 10B , upper panel, G and T signals overlap at ↓). Phenotype was confirmed to be absent in colony with heterologous mutation. On the other hand, homologous mutation free of overlapping signal was confirmed in red colony (FIG. 10B , lower panel, T signal at ↓). - In this Example, it is demonstrated that this technique effectively functions in Escherichia coli, which is a representative bacterium model organism. Particularly, conventional nuclease type genome editing technique is fatal for bacteria, and the application is difficult. Thus, the superiority of this technique is emphasized. In combination with yeast, which is an eukaryote model cell, it is shown that this technique is widely applicable to any species irrespective of prokaryon and eukaryon.
- Amino acid mutation of DlOA and H840A were introduced (dCas9) into Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 gene containing bidirectional promoter region, and a construct to be expressed as a fusion protein with PmCDA1 via a linker sequence was constructed, and chimeric gRNAs encoding a sequence complementary to each of the target nucleotide sequences was simultaneously included in a plasmid (full-length nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 32, in which sequence, a sequence complementary to each of the target sequences is introduced into the site of n20) (
FIG. 11A ). - First, the ORF of positions 426-445 (T CAA TGG GCT AAC TAC GTT C; SEQ ID NO: 33) of Escherichia coli galK gene was introduced as a target nucleotide sequence into a plasmid, various Escherichia coli strains (XL10-gold, DH5a, MG1655, BW25113) were transformed with the plasmid by calcium method or electroporation method, SOC medium was added, recovery culture was performed overnight, plasmid carrying cells were selected from ampicillin-containing LB medium, and colony was formed. Introduction of mutation was verified by direct-sequence from colony PCR. The results are shown in
FIG. 11B . - Independent colony (1-3) was selected randomly, and sequence was analyzed. As a result, the 427-position C of ORF was converted to T (
clones 2, 3) at a probability of not less than 60%, and the occurrence of gene destruction generating a stop codon (TAA) was confirmed. - Then, with a complementary sequence (5′-GGTCCATAAACTGAGACAGC-3′; SEQ ID NO: 34) of 1530-1549 base region of rpoB gene ORF, which is an essential gene, as a target, particular point mutation was introduced by a method similar to the above-mentioned method to try to impart rifampicin-resistant function to Escherichia coli. The sequences of colonies selected in a nonselective medium (none), a 25 μg/ml rifampicin (Rif25) and 50 μg/ml rifampicin (Rif50)-containing medium were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that conversion of the 1546-position G of ORF to A introduced amino acid mutation from Asp(GAC) to Asn(AAC), and rifampicin-resistance was imparted (
FIG. 11C , upper panel). A 10-fold dilution series of the cell suspension after transformation treatment was spotted on a nonselective medium (none), a 25 μg/ml rifampicin (Rif25) and 50 μg/ml rifampicin (Rif50)-containing medium and cultured. As a result, it is estimated that rifampicin-resistant strain was obtained at about 10% frequency (FIG. 11C , lower panel). - As shown above, by this technique, a new function can be added by particular point mutation, rather than simple gene destruction. This technique is superior since essential gene is directly edited.
- Conventionally, the gRNA length relative to a target nucleotide sequence was 20b as basic, and cytosine (or guanine in opposite strand) in a site of 2-5b from the 5′-terminus thereof (15-19b upstream of PAM sequence) is used as a mutation target. Whether expression of different gRNA length can shift the site of the base to be the target was examined (
FIG. 12A ). - Experimental Example performed on Escherichia coli is shown in
FIG. 12B . A site containing many cytosines on Escherichia coli genome was searched for, and the experiment was performed using gsiA gene, which is a putative ABC-transporter. Substituted cytosine was examined while changing the length of the target to 24 bp, 22 bp, 20 bp, 18 bp to find that the 898th, 899th cytosine was substituted by thymine in the case of 20 bp (standard length). When the target site is longer than 20 bp, the 896th and 897th cytosines were also substituted, and when the target site was shorter, the 900th and 901st cytosines were also substituted. In fact, the target site could be shifted by changing the length of the gRNA. - A plasmid that induces expression of the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention under high temperature conditions was designed. While optimizing efficiency by limitatively controlling the expression state, reduction of side effects (growth inhibition of host, unstable mutation introduction efficiency, mutation of site different from target and the like) was aimed. Simultaneously, a simultaneous and easy removal of plasmid after editing was intended by combining a mechanism for ceasing the replication of plasmid at a high temperature. The detail of the experiment is shown below.
- With temperature sensitive plasmid pSC101-Rep101 system (sequence of pSC101 ori is shown in SEQ ID NO: 35, and sequence of temperature sensitive Rep101 is shown in SEQ ID NO: 36) as a backbone, temperature sensitive A repressor (c1857) system was used for expression induction. For genome editing, G113E mutation imparting RecA resistance was introduced into A repressor, to ensure normal function even under SOS response (SEQ ID NO: 37). dCas9-PmCDA1 (SEQ ID NO: 38) was ligated to Right Operator (SEQ ID NO: 39), and gRNA (SEQ ID NO: 40) was ligated to the downstream of Left Operator (SEQ ID NO: 41) to regulate the expression (full-length nucleotide sequence of the constructed expression vector is shown in SEQ ID NO: 42). During culture at not more than 30° C., transcription of gRNA and expression of dCas9-PmCDA1 are suppressed, and the cells can grow normally. When cultured at not less than 37° C., transcription of gRNA and expression of dCas9-PmCDA1 are induced, and replication of plasmid is suppressed simultaneously. Therefore, a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex necessary for genome editing is transiently supplied, and plasmid can be removed easily after editing (
FIG. 13 ). - Specific protocol of the base substitution is shown in
FIG. 14 . - The culture temperature for plasmid construction is set at around 28° C., and an Escherichia coli colony retaining the desired plasmid is first established. Then, the colony is directly used, or after plasmid extraction when the strain is changed, transformation with the target strain is performed again, and the obtained colony is used. Liquiud culture at 28° C. is performed overnight. Thereafter, the colony is diluted with the medium, induction culture is performed at 42° C. for 1 hr to overnight, the cell suspension is appropriately diluted and spread or spotted on a plate to acquire a single colony.
- As a verification experiment, point mutation introduction into essential gene rpoB was performed. When rpoB, which is one of the RNA polymerase-constituting factors, is deleted or its function is lost, the Escherichia coli will not survive. On the other hand, it is known that resistance to antibiotic rifampicin (Rif) is acquired when point mutation is entered at a particular site. Therefore, aiming at such introduction of point mutation, a target site is selected and assay was performed.
- The results are shown in
FIG. 15 . In the upper left panel, the left shows an LB (chloramphenicol addition) plate, and the right shows a rifampicin-added LB (chloramphenicol addition) plate, and samples with or without chloramphenicol were prepared and cultured at 28° C. or 42° C. When cultured at 28° C., the rate of Rif resistance is low; however, when cultured at 42° C., rifampicin resistance was obtained with extremely high efficiency. When the colonies (non-selection) obtained on LB were sequenced by 8 colonies, the 1546th guanine (G) was substituted by adenine (A) in not less than 60% of the strain cultured at 42° C. (lower and upper left panels). It is clear that the base is also completely substituted in actual sequence spectrum (lower right panel). - Similarly, base substitution of galK, which is one of the factors involved in the galactose metabolism, was performed. Since metabolism of 2-deoxy-galactose (2DOG), which is an analogue of galactose, by galK is fatal to Escherichia coli, this was used as a selection method. Target site was set such that missense mutation is induced in
target 8, and that stop codon is entered in target 12 (FIG. 16 lower right). - The results are shown in
FIG. 16 . In the upper left and lower left panels, the left shows an LB (chloramphenicol addition) plate, and the right shows a 2-DOG-added LB (chloramphenicol addition) plate, and samples with or without chloramphenicol were prepared and cultured at 28° C. or 42° C. Intarget 8, colony was produced only slightly on a 2-DOG addition plate (upper left panel), 3 colonies on LB (red frame) were sequenced to determine that the 61st cytosine (C) was substituted by thymine (T) in all colonies (upper right). This mutation is assumed to be insufficient to lose function of galK. On the other hand, intarget 12, colony was obtained on 2-DOG addition plate by culture at 28° C. and 42° C. (lower left panel). 3 colonies on LB were sequenced to determine that the 271st cytosine was substituted by thymine in all colonies (lower right). It was shown that mutation can be also introduced stably and highly efficiently in such different targets. - The contents disclosed in any publication cited herein, including patents and patent applications, are hereby incorporated in their entireties by reference, to the extent that they have been disclosed herein.
- This application is based on patent application Nos. 2014-43348 and 2014-201859 filed in Japan (filing dates: Mar. 5, 2014 and Sep. 30, 2014, respectively), the contents of which are incorporated in full herein.
- The present invention makes it possible to safely introduce site specific mutation into any species without insertion of a foreign DNA or double-stranded DNA breaks. It is also possible to set a wide range of mutation introduction from a pin point of one base to several hundred bases, and the technique can also be applied to topical evolution induction by introduction of random mutation into a particular restricted region, which has been almost impossible heretofore, and is extremely useful.
