Description

Cas9 fusion proteins and its coded sequence
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, it is related to the DNA sequence dna of a kind of fusion protein and encoding fusion protein.
Technical background
Animal disease model serves key effect in research human diseases pathogenesis and drug screening.Inhuman spirit is long Class animal is highly similar to the mankind on biology, science of heredity, and such as macaque is up to 93% (Gibbs with human genome homology Et al., 2007), thus the important animal model as the research of mankind's major disease and drug screening.However, big due to lacking The embryonic stem cell line of animal, traditional gene targeting is difficult to for setting up primate disease model.And in recent years The gene editing new technology CRISPR/Cas9 of development carries out having shown huge potentiality in accurately modification in orientation to gene, Have been widely used for different genera and carry out genome manipulation and genetic modification.Meanwhile, the new technique is also attempted for treating Some disease (Schwank et al., 2013 caused by gene defect;Wu et al.,2013).But, CRISPR/Cas9 Technology still awaits improving on the precision of genetic modification.
CRISPR/Cas9 is a kind of by RNA to instruct Cas albumen to enter edlin to gene from bacterium acquired immunity With the new technology of modification.Jinek etc. carries out artificial reconstructed allow the system to more simply and easily to CRISPR/Cas9 systems For gene editing (Jinek et al., 2013).Cas9 restriction endonucleases are under the guiding of guide RNA molecule to specific site DNA is cut, and forms double-stranded DNA breach, then cell can be by homologous recombination machinery or non-homologous end joining mechanism The DNA of fracture is repaired.If cell is repaired by homologous recombination machinery, it can fill up disconnected with other section of DNA fragment The DNA breach split, thus one section of " new " hereditary information can be introduced.At present, the Cas9 systems of RNA mediations can be mediated successfully carefully Bacterium, plant cell, zebrafish embryo, mouse, human archeocyte, non-human primate machin embryo, the even mankind discard embryo Genome editor (the Cho et al., 2013 of tire etc.;Cong et al.,2013;Jinek et al.,2013;Mali et al.,2013;Niu et al.,2014;Platt et al.,2014;Shan et al.,2013;Chen et al., 2015).And the technology can also successfully correct dcc gene (the Schwank et al., 2013 of diseased n animal by gene knock-in; Wu et al., 2013) or be reorganized as viral vector and set up animal model for cancer (Platt et al., 2014) etc., previous Achievement in research will all provide hope for technology future applied to the treatment of human inheritance's deficiency disorders.
CRISPR/Cas9 systems develop rapidly so that the foundation of animal disease model be no longer limited to minority patterns life Thing so that realize that genome editor is possibly realized in all species.The technology is easy to use, simple and target practice efficiency is higher, It can realize and by a pair of alleles shear obtaining homozygous mutation, can also design a variety of in multiple sites of target gene GRNA knocks out purpose completely to reach.But there is also latent gene mutation chimeric polymorphism, effect of missing the target, gene at present for the technology Knock in the more low weak point of homologous recombination efficiency.For the chimeric effect problem of gene targeting, due to small animal model growth Cycle is shorter, can by embryonic stem cell screening or constantly hybridization pass on and obtain Mutants homozygous, but for the mankind more For close primate, its sexal maturity time is accomplished by 4 to 5 years, and pregnant time is up to 165 days, and is still lacked at present Monkey embryonic stem cell line, therefore chimeric effect has huge challenge setting up on homozygous gene mutation monkey model.
Occurring for chimeric mutational effect may be because the Cas9mRNA and sgRNA of injection be still held after embryonated egg embryo divides Continued reaches, and this chimerism (Platt et al., 2014 also occurs in injection Cas9 albumen;Sung et al.,2014) (Sung YH,2014;Kim S, 2014), show that the half-life period of Cas9 albumen in the cell is longer so as to causing fertilized egg cell Split into four cells, eight cells even blastaea period when, each cell is formed because being randomly assigned different degrees of Cas9 albumen The animal of different degrees of several genes modified types, the embryonic tissue formed and new life can be in different cell or tissues The different genetic modification type of carrying or the genetic modification for having different degrees of (single-stranded or double-stranded DNA).In addition, cell itself DNA damage repair mechanism or the non-homogeneous recombinantal repair of DNA etc. can also influence gene targeting efficiency and chimeric effect.
Every kind of protein in protokaryon and eucaryote body has its life characteristics, also known as half-life period.Protein Half-life period is relevant with the amino acid of its polypeptide chain N- terminal specifics, i.e., N- hold-carryings are then (Bachmair et al., 1986).Therefore can Using N- hold-carryings then and the ubiquitin fusion protein with variety classes amino acid (ubiquitin fusion degradation, UFD) degrade signal to change the protein half life dependent on ubiquitination degradation pathway, such as N-terminal is connected with Arginine (Ub- R-trageted protein), Leucine (Ub-L--trageted protein), Proline (Ub-P--trageted Protein) or Lys (Ub-K--trageted protein) can substantially reduction destination protein stability so as to accelerate drop Solution, and is connected with Met, Ser, and Ala then causes destination protein more to stablize (Johnson et al., 1995).And meet N- end gauages Its degraded of albumen then is lysine dependent on the amino acid of the 15th or 17, therefore can remove stable degraded signal and mesh Albumen between insertion one section of random amino acid sequence cause the lysine of destination protein to appear in the 17th.And gone in connection If the 3rd lysine on linker between stable degraded signal and destination protein can then further enhance ubiquitination effect Rate (Bachmair et al., 1986;Dantuma et al.,2000).
