Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and relates to fusion protein and the DNA sequence for coding the fusion protein, in particular to the Cas9 fusion protein with a Cas9 segment and a Ubiquitin segment, and the coding sequence of the Cas9 fusion protein. On one hand, the Cas9 protein can be rapidly degraded after playing a targeting role in an embryonic cell, and therefore the chimerism mutation effect on embryonic development is reduced. More importantly, by means of the Ubiquitin-i-cas9 protein, the homozygosis efficiency of a gene targeting embryo can be improved, wherein i is the first-place amino acid of a connector for connecting Ubiquitin and Cas9 and can be arginine (R) or proline (P) or leucine (L). Especially, the targeting efficiency of the particularly-preferential Ubiquitin-R-Cas9 protein for a wild type Cas9 protein gene is improved by 3.51 times and is beyond the expectation of technicians.

Description

Cas9 fusion protein and coded sequence thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, relate to the DNA sequence of a kind of fusion protein and encoding fusion protein.
Technical background
Animal disease model serves pivotal role in research human diseases pathogenesis and drug screening. Non-human primate is highly similar to the mankind on biology, hereditism, if macaque and human genome homology are up to 93% (Gibbsetal., 2007), thus becomes the important animal model of mankind's major disease research and drug screening. But, owing to lacking the embryonic stem cell line of big animal, traditional gene targeting is difficult to for setting up primate disease model. And gene is carried out having shown huge potentiality in accurately modification in orientation by the gene editing new technique CRISPR/Cas9 of development in recent years, have been widely used for different genera and carry out genome manipulation and genetic modification. Meanwhile, this new technique be also attempted for treat some diseases caused because of genetic flaw (Schwanketal., 2013; Wuetal., 2013). But, CRISPR/Cas9 technology still awaits improving on the precision of genetic modification.
CRISPR/Cas9 is a kind of new technique being instructed Cas albumen gene to be edited and modifies by RNA deriving from antibacterial acquired immunity. CRISPR/Cas9 system is carried out artificial reconstructed allowing the system to more simply and easily for gene editing (Jineketal., 2013) by Jinek etc. The DNA of specific site is cut by Cas9 restriction endonuclease under the guiding of guide RNA molecule, forms double-stranded DNA breach, and then the DNA of fracture can be repaired by cell by homologous recombination machinery or non-homologous end joining mechanism. If cell is repaired by homologous recombination machinery, the DNA breach of fracture can be filled up by other section of DNA fragment, thus one section of " new " hereditary information can be introduced. At present, the Cas9 system of RNA mediation can success mediating bacterial, plant cell, zebrafish embryo, mice, human archeocyte, the discarded embryo of non-human primate machin embryo, the even mankind etc. genome editor (Choetal., 2013;Congetal., 2013; Jineketal., 2013; Malietal., 2013; Niuetal., 2014; Plattetal., 2014; Shanetal., 2013; Chenetal., 2015). And this technology successfully correct also by gene knock-in diseased n animal dcc gene (Schwanketal., 2013; Wuetal., 2013) or be reorganized as viral vector and set up animal model for cancer (Plattetal., 2014) etc., previous achievement in research is all that the treatment that this technology will be applied to human inheritance's deficiency disorders future provides hope.
Developing rapidly so that the foundation of animal disease model is no longer limited to the model organism of minority of CRISPR/Cas9 system so that realize genome editor in all species and be possibly realized. This technology is easy to use, simple and target practice efficiency is higher, it is possible to realizes that pair of alleles is carried out shearing and obtains homozygous mutation, also can design multiple gRNA in multiple sites of genes of interest to reach to knock out completely purpose. But currently also there is the weak points such as the latent gene chimeric polymorphism of sudden change, effect of missing the target, gene knock-in homologous recombination efficiency be relatively low in this technology. Chimeric effect problem for gene targeting, owing to small animal model growth cycle is shorter, can be screened by embryonic stem cell or constantly hybridization is gone down to posterity and obtained Mutants homozygous, but for the primate being closer to the mankind, its sexual maturity time is accomplished by 4 to 5 years, pregnant time was up to 165 days, and still lacked at present monkey embryonic stem cell line, and therefore chimeric effect has huge challenge on homozygous gene sudden change monkey model setting up.
Chimeric mutational effect is likely to be due to Cas9mRNA and the sgRNA of injection still continuous expression after germ cell embryo divides, and injection Cas9 albumen also occur this chimerism (Plattetal., 2014; Sungetal., 2014) (SungYH, 2014; KimS, 2014), show that Cas9 albumen is longer thus when causing that fertilized egg cell splits into four cells, eight cells even blastaea periods in the intracellular half-life, each cell forms several genes modified types in various degree because of random assortment Cas9 albumen in various degree, and the embryonal tissue formed and the animal of new life can be carried different genetic modification types in different cell or tissues or have the genetic modification of (strand or double-stranded DNA) in various degree. Additionally, the DNA damage repair mechanism of cell self or the non-homogeneous recombination repair of DNA etc. also can affect gene targeting efficiency and chimeric effect.
Every kind of protein in protokaryon and eukaryote body has its life characteristics, is also called the half-life. the half-life of protein is relevant with the aminoacid of its polypeptide chain N-terminal specific, i.e. N-hold-carrying then (Bachmairetal., 1986). therefore available N-hold-carrying is then with the amino acid whose ubiquitin fusion protein (ubiquitinfusiondegradation of variety classes, UFD) degraded signal changes the protein half life depending on ubiquitination degradation pathway, such as N end is connected with Arginine (Ub-R-tragetedprotein), Leucine (Ub-L--tragetedprotein), Proline (Ub-P--tragetedprotein) or Lys (Ub-K--tragetedprotein) can substantially reduce the stability of destination protein thus accelerated degradation, and it is connected with Met, Ser, Ala then makes the more stable (Johnsonetal. of destination protein, 1995). and meeting its degraded of N-end gauage albumen then, to depend on aminoacid of the 15th or 17 be lysine, therefore the lysine of destination protein can be made to occur in the 17th going to insert one section of random amino acid sequence between stable degraded signal and destination protein.If the 3rd lysine connected on the linker going between stable degraded signal and destination protein then can further enhance ubiquitination efficiency (Bachmairetal., 1986; Dantumaetal., 2000).
