Description

Recombinant transposase and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of aquatic science, relates to application of a Tgf2 transposition element, and particularly relates to an insertional mutagenesis research of a goldfish Tgf2 transposition element.
Background
Transposons, a type of DNA fragment that is capable of freely jumping (replicating or translocating) on the genome, the process of which is called transposition. Obtained by Clintock, B.M for the first time in 1950 in maize chromosomes and named "Transposable elements". Its discovery has improved the long-standing view of maintaining genomic sequence stability, and has also broken the theory of the position fixation of genetic material on chromosome. Since the research researchers have confirmed that the transposon system is widely existed in many fields of nature, including various organisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects, the research of transposon system has become an important tool for the gene analysis of organisms. By using the unique transposition characteristics of transposon elements, the marked transposon elements can be inserted into a target gene or a target genome, and then transposon tagging, transposon site-directed hybridization, transposon gene targeting and other technologies are formed. By applying the above techniques, the difference in functions of genome and between groups can be explored, the activity of the target gene can be changed, the transgenic organism can be obtained, the gene integration can be accelerated, and the gene therapy can be realized.
As a gene tool, the currently more popular transposon genes are being studied from four transposon-producing families: tcl/mariner, hAT, PIF/Harbinger and PiggyBac (PB) transposon families [1]. Despite the widespread distribution of transposons in nature, the long-term evolution process has led to the loss of transposition activity in most mammalian and avian transposon genomes due to the gradual inactivation of transposase, which has led to the development and application of vertebrate transposons in a slow-growing stage [2-3]. Until Koga et al found Tol2 transposon in medaka genome with autonomous transposition activity, they triggered the entire academic community's enthusiasm for transposon research. The Tol2 transposon belongs to a naturally occurring vertebrate transposon [4]Its discovery has facilitated research on the use of transposons in vertebrates.
The hAT transposon family, a naturally occurring superfamily with autonomous transposition activity, includes the Ac/Ds transposition system in maize, and the Tol2 transposon found in fish.
Goldfish Tgf2(GenBank: HM146132) transposon elements were obtained from screening in 19 different fish species by the Syasu laboratory, and are DNA transposons with autonomous activity belonging to the hAT transposon family. The total length of the transposase protein is 4720bp, has 4 ORFs, and can encode the transposase protein with the total length of 686 amino acids. The goldfish Tgf2 transposon has the characteristics of the hAT transposon family, in which the inverted repeats of the meta-position can form a cross structure different from the Tol2 transposon, the transfer of which with Tgf2Seat activity is related to [5]
It is known that all substances entering and exiting the nucleus by means of passive transport and active transport occur via Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) on the nuclear membrane. The structure and function of NPC appears to be conserved in all eukaryotes, suggesting its central role in eukaryotic cell function. As the name implies, NPC has the function of a porous molecular sieve, i.e., molecules with molecular weights of less than 40-45kDa can diffuse freely into and out of the nucleus of the cell. Proteins larger than 45kDa require a Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) to aid their transport into the nucleus.
Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) are composed of an evolutionarily conserved family of transcriptional regulators that are capable of steady-state responses under low oxygen tension and play a key role in coordinating cellular responses to hypoxia [6]HIFs are heterodimeric complexes formed by the labile α subunit (1 α,2 α, or 3 α) and one constitutive HIF β subunit together [6-8]. O in the ODD Domain of the HIFs under normoxic conditions 2Under hypoxic conditions, conserved asparagine residues in the TAD (terminal activating domain) domain are subject to hydroxylation by the inhibitor HIF-1 (FIH) under the action of the hydroxylation efficiency is reduced, they subsequently form heterologous HIF dimers with the 539392 subunit, enter the nucleus, co-factor activating regions of the CBP family such as P300/CBP family, and activate the target genes in response to hypoxia, thus degrading in combination with the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein (pVHL) targeted to the proteasome.
The structure and function of HIFs are important in explaining the molecular mechanisms of the hypoxic response, however, our studies on HIF3 α are limited compared to the intensive studies on HIF1 α and HIF2 α, and the studies on the hypoxic response of fish in particular are much less well understood.

Disclosure of Invention
The Tgf2 transposase protein can catalyze the breakage and recombination of DNA strands, and plays a key role in the process of functioning of the Tgf2 transposon in transposition. The precondition that the Tgf2 transposase protein can enter the nucleus is that the protein plays a role, the research focuses on improving the nucleus entering efficiency of the transposase protein and further improving the transposition efficiency of Tgf2, and the research aims to artificially interfere with a transposition element to improve the transposition efficiency, establish a theoretical basis for exogenous gene integration and stable expression and provide support for fish insertional mutagenesis research. We constructed pEGFP-Tgf2TP expression vector containing Tgf2 transposase protein and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS transposase plasmid containing Simian virus 40(Simian virus 40, SV40) large T antigen Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) to investigate whether artificial interference transposable element could improve Nuclear entry efficiency and transposition efficiency. The constructed transposase plasmid is introduced into fertilized eggs of zebra fish through co-microinjection, and the green fluorescent protein of the reporter gene is observed and detected at different embryonic development stages after in vitro culture, and the positive rate is detected through sequencing.
The HIFFs can activate a series of genes sensitive to Hypoxia downstream of the HIFFs to be transcribed, so that various physiological processes including energy metabolism, erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis are regulated to ensure the steady state of an organism under a hypoxic environment, the research on the structural characteristics of HIF3 α and the regulation mechanism under the hypoxic condition is less, the research on the structural characteristics and the function of HIF1 α and 2 α in humans, mammals and fish is hopeful to explore the regulation mechanism which is not Hypoxia-resistant, and further the research on the Hypoxia-resistant regulation mechanism is hopeful to be carried out by researching the structure and the Hypoxia function of HIF1 α and 2 α, so that a new strain of Megalobrama amblycephala is developed for the subsequent research on the Hypoxia-resistant regulation mechanism, and the theoretical results of the transcriptional expression of HIF 365631-EGFS 7-3 α -3 α of the expression vector containing the gene of the HIF3 α and the Hypoxia-resistant regulation mechanism of Hypoxia are provided for researching the theoretical results and the theoretical results of the Hypoxia-resistant transcriptional protein level of the Hypoxia-resistant expression vector, and the transcriptional protein level of the transcriptional gene of the Hypoxia-resistant Megalobrama:
(1) through transfecting pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS transposase plasmids into HeLa cells respectively, we find that green fluorescence of pEGFP-Tgf2TP-SV40NLS recombinant transposase proteins is mostly concentrated in nuclear distribution, compared with cells of a control group which are transiently transfected with pEGFP-Tgf2TP transposase plasmids, the nuclear entry efficiency reaches 51.63%, the nuclear entry efficiency is improved by 11.58% compared with the control group, and SV40NLS can help to improve the nuclear entry efficiency. The zebrafish positive rate of the microinjected pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS transposase plasmid reaches 60.8 percent, is improved by 12.7 percent compared with the positive rate of 48.1 percent of a control group, and shows that SV40NLS can help to improve the integration efficiency.
(2) The megalobrama amblycephala HIF3 α belongs to a bHLH family and has PAS, PAB, PAC, ODD and TAD structural domains which are specific to the family, and after HeLa cell transfection, the megalobrama amblycephala HIF3 α protein is concentrated in cell nucleus distribution under normal oxygen and low oxygen conditions, and the low oxygen treatment can cause that the expression level of the megalobrama HIF3 α in a detected tissue is obviously increased in mRNA and protein level.
Since the Tgf2 transposase plays an important role in the transposition process, it is necessary to conduct more intensive research on the Tgf2 transposase.
The megalobrama amblycephala is an important economic fish in China, but the megalobrama amblycephala cannot tolerate hypoxia to cause massive death caused by hypoxia in the feeding process, so the hypoxia response mechanism of the megalobrama amblycephala HIF3 α is fundamentally understood, the breeding selection can be enhanced, and the economic benefit of the production of the megalobrama amblycephala in the industry is improved.
The goldfish Tgf2 transposon belongs to the class II DNA transposon and is transposed in a "cut and paste" manner. Transposition mainly involves two processes, that is, a transposable element is cut from its original position and then inserted and integrated into genomic DNA, thereby causing gene mutation or rearrangement, and in general, the genome size is not changed. Both processes are catalyzed by the transposase encoded by the Tgf2 transposon itself.
The donor plasmid with Tgf2 transposon and the mRNA of transposase plasmid containing the transposon code are injected into the early embryo of the zebra fish, and the transposase catalyzes the transposon to play a function, so that the transposon is cut from the donor plasmid and is stably integrated into the genome of the zebra fish. Subsequently, the excessive mRNA and transposase were gradually degraded, the transposase activity was then lost, the Tgf2 transposition sequence was stably present in the genome, and the green fluorescent protein in the Tgf2 transposon plasmid helped us observe its expression with the aid of a microscope.

1.3 results of the experiment
1.3.1 construction of pEGFP-TP plasmid
The results of electrophoresis after PCR amplification using the template plasmid pGE-4T-1-Tgf2TP are shown in FIG. 1.
Since the electrophoretic bands are single and correspond to the length of the fragment of Tgf2TP, we recovered the target band by tapping. After the steps of connection transformation, plate coating, bacteria selection, bacteria shaking, PCR detection and the like, electrophoresis detection is carried out, and the result is shown in figure 2:
and selecting bacterial liquid which meets the size of the target band, and sending the bacterial liquid to a worker for sequencing. The sequencing result is consistent with our target fragment, and has XhoI cutting site at the 5 'end and BamHI cutting site at the 3' end, and the sequence between the two cutting sites is the coding sequence of gene with GenBank accession number HM 146132.
And (3) shaking the bacterial liquid with the correct sequencing and extracting a plasmid, which is named as PMD-19T-Tgf2 TP. After the plasmid extraction was completed, concentration detection was performed, and then the double digestion of PMD-19T-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-N1 plasmids, respectively, was performed as shown in FIG. 3.
Recovering Tgf2TP and pEGFP-N1 vector fragments after double digestion respectively, and then mixing the target fragments with a vector 3: 1, the ligation reaction was carried out. And then, quickly transforming the ligation product, selecting a single colony for bacteria shaking after plating and culturing, and then carrying out PCR (polymerase chain reaction), wherein the electrophoresis detection result is shown in figure 4.
Because the obtained bands are single and regular, one tube of the bacterial liquid is selected and sent to a bio-company for sequencing. The sequencing result proves that the fragment digested by the Tgf2TP and the fragment digested by the pEGFP-N1 vector are successfully connected, namely the pEGFP-Tgf2TP plasmid is successfully constructed, as shown in FIG. 5.
And continuously culturing and amplifying the bacterial liquid which is sequenced successfully, extracting pEGFP-TP plasmid, detecting the concentration, and storing in a refrigerator at minus 20 ℃ and minus 80 ℃ for later use.
1.3.2 construction of pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS plasmid
Since we directly synthesized and annealed to form a double-stranded SV40NLS fragment with BamHI cleavage site at the upstream-5 'end and AgeI cleavage site at the downstream-3', the plasmid pEGFP-Tgf2TP needs to be subjected to BamHI and AgeI double cleavage, and the cleavage results are shown in FIG. 6.
And (3) performing gel tapping recovery on the fragments which are subjected to double enzyme digestion and conform to the size of a target band (because the enzyme digestion sites of BamHI and AgeI are very close, an electrophoresis band cannot be displayed after double enzyme digestion is finished), connecting the fragments with an SV40NLS fragment, quickly converting the SV40NLS fragment which is positioned at the downstream of a Tgf2TP coding sequence into an escherichia coli DH5 α competent cell, selecting a single bacterial colony for bacteria shaking after plate coating culture, performing PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and performing electrophoresis detection, wherein the electrophoresis detection result is shown in a figure 7.
And selecting corresponding bacterial liquid which meets the size of a target band, sending the corresponding bacterial liquid to a sequencing department for sequencing, confirming that the fragment cut by pEGFP-Tgf2TP is successfully connected with the SV40NLS fragment with the viscous tail end through a sequencing result, and then carrying out amplification culture on the bacterial liquid to extract pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS plasmid (the structure is shown in figure 8).
1.3.3 Zebra Fish microinjection results
We used pTgf2-EF1 α -eGFP transposon plasmid as donor plasmid, and pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS plasmids as auxiliary plasmids, and then the auxiliary plasmid was linearized and reverse transcribed into mRNA, and microinjected into zebrafish eggs together with the donor plasmid and phenol red.
The results show that the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which are injected with helper plasmids pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS, is greatly increased compared with the signal intensity of a transposon plasmid pTgf 2-1 α -eGFP only, the fluorescence expression observed at 12h after microinjection is unevenly distributed, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which is also increased compared with the negative control group, the fluorescence expression observed at 24h after microinjection is generally expressed, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which is also observed at 12h after the microinjection, is generally expressed in whole body, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which is also increased compared with the negative control group, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which is generally expressed in whole body, is generally concentrated at body, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which is also greatly increased compared with the negative control group, the fluorescence expression of the positive control group and the experimental group, which are also significantly expressed in whole body, and the positive control group, which is also significantly increased in total expression of Tef 2, and the transposition enzyme (Tef-Tf) is significantly increased in whole), which is significantly improved compared with the positive control group, which is significantly expressed in whole).
1.3.4 integration efficiency statistics
After the zebrafish were injected to the membrane and observed for fluorescence, we kept it until it matured according to the breeding method described previously. Then cutting the tail fin of the adult zebra fish, and extracting DNA of the adult zebra fish injected with the live zebra fish by using a marine organism genome DNA extraction kit. Then, the genome of the live injected zebra fish is detected by PCR to determine whether the GFP gene is carried. The detection results are shown in FIG. 12.
The detection of the zebra fish surviving microinjection shows that the integration efficiency of GFP in the negative control group is about 8.3 percent; in our positive control group, the integration efficiency can reach 48.1% after the co-injection of pEGFP-Tgf2TP transposase auxiliary plasmid mRNA; the integration efficiency of the experimental group injected with pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS transposase helper plasmid mRNA is improved by 60.8% compared with the positive control group (Table 13). It was found by analysis that a transposase helper plasmid containing SV40NLS can help to increase the integration efficiency of Tgf2 transposon.

1.3.5 cell transfection
We transfected the constructed pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS plasmids, respectively, and the control pEGFP-N1 plasmid into HeLa cells, observed the expression of green fluorescent protein 24h after transfection, and then stained the cell nucleus with DAPI dye. The green fluorescence expression was observed as in FIG. 13.
Since all passive and active transport into and out of the nucleus occurs through NPC, the structure and function of NPC appears to be conserved in all eukaryotes, suggesting its central role in eukaryotic cell function. NPC has the function of a porous molecular sieve, and molecules with the molecular weight of less than 40-45kDa can freely diffuse into and out of cell nucleus. Whereas proteins larger than 45kDa require NLS to aid their transport into the nucleus. Since pEGFP-N1 has a molecular weight of approximately 27kD, it is free to diffuse through NPC into the nucleus, and GFP is uniformly expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm, as shown in FIG. 13. The molecular weight of pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS plasmids constructed by the method is more than 45kDa, so that the NLS sequence carried by transposase needs to be used for helping the plasmid to enter the nucleus.
1.3.6 transfection efficiency assay
For quantitative analysis, we performed routine analysis on 200-: n, indicating cells that express fluorescence only in the nucleus, N > C, indicating cells that express more nuclear fluorescence than cytoplasm; n ═ C, meaning cells with a uniform distribution of fluorescent expression in the nucleus and cytoplasm; n < C, indicating that the fluorescence intensity in the cytoplasm exceeds that of cells expressed in the nucleus. As shown in fig. 14.
After fluorescence analysis, we found that when the pEGFP-N1 plasmid of the transfection control group enters HeLa cells, green fluorescence is uniformly expressed in cytoplasm and nucleus. After transfection of the pEGFP-Tgf2TP transposase plasmid into HeLa cells, complete expression of GFP in the nucleus was observed in 40.05% of the cells; GFP can be expressed both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus in 56.97% of cells, and more GFP is expressed in the nucleus than in the cytoplasm in 2.98% of cells. When the plasmid of pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS transposase is transfected into HeLa cells, the increase of the cell number of GFP which is completely expressed in cell nucleus can be observed, and the cell number reaches 51.63%; while the number of homogeneous expression in cytoplasm and nucleus decreased to only 45.60%, the GFP expression in nucleus was 2.77% more than in cytoplasm (see Table 14).

1.5 discussion
In recent years, research and application of transposon-mediated insertional mutagenesis in various fields of human and mammals have been extensively conductedThe application is as follows. The kit is used as a simple and efficient tool carrier in genetic biological analysis, and comprises the following components: has important effects in the research of molecular genetic level, cell level, animal individual level, transgenic animal model establishment, gene therapy and the like [9]. It is known that the transposable element functions by requiring a helper plasmid, i.e., a transposase plasmid, to provide mRNA or a plasmid constructed on the basis of transposase to assist the transposase in functioning. The difficulty in this case is to construct suitable helper plasmids which are capable of transcription in organisms, since in most organisms relatively few genes are available which provide the promoter necessary for the helper plasmid [10]. The goldfish Tgf2 transposon discovered by the laboratory has the activity of autonomous transposition, is a promising vertebrate transgenic vector, and can be developed and utilized as a transgenic research.
In our experimental results, the SV40NLS sequence was increased at the C-terminus of the Tgf2 transposase protein, and the integration efficiency was indeed increased both in nuclear entry efficiency and after microinjection.
(one) conclusion
The Tgf2 transposon discovered in goldfish by the laboratory team still maintains the activity of autonomous transposition, can encode transposase, and can exert the function of autonomous transposition. This experiment has conducted some studies on how to improve the transposition function of a Tgf2 transposable element, and it is expected that it will provide a basis for better functioning of a Tgf2 transposable element. The preliminary results obtained are as follows:
(1) tgf2 transposon donor plasmid pTgf2-EF1 α -eGFP with green fluorescent protein GFP gene, transposase plasmids pEGFP-Tgf2TPmRNA and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS mRNA are respectively subjected to coinjective microinjection and introduced into fertilized eggs of zebra fish, the green fluorescent protein of the reporter gene is detected by observation at different periods of embryonic development after in vitro culture, and the positive rate is detected by sequencing, the result shows that the positive rate of the transposase plasmid containing SV40NLS through microinjection is improved by 12.7 percent relative to a control group, which shows that SV40NLS can help to improve the integration efficiency and the transposition efficiency of Tgf2 transposable elements.
(2) The transposase plasmids pEGFP-Tgf2TP and pEGFP-TP-SV40NLS are transfected into HeLa cells respectively, and the observation of green fluorescence in the transfected HeLa cells shows that the green fluorescence of the recombinant pEGFP-Tgf2TP-SV40NLS transposase protein is mostly concentrated in nuclear distribution, and compared with the cells of a control group which is transiently transfected with pEGFP-Tgf2TP transposase, the nuclear entry efficiency is improved by 11.58%. The SV40NLS can help to improve the nuclear entry efficiency and further improve the transposition efficiency.
Looking at
Tgf2 transposon as a DNA transposon with autonomous transposition activity can code transposase, and has wide research prospect. Since transposases having high activity are known to have NLS sequences, the development and utilization of a Tgf2 transposase is a problem to be solved at present. Therefore, the main research directions in the future are:
(1) the transfection ratio of transposon and transposase in different species or cells can affect the integration efficiency of the foreign gene. Therefore, it is suggested that the optimum transfection ratio of the Tgf2 transposon and the transposase thereof can be optimized, and the optimum ratio can be screened out, which can help us to search the optimum microinjection ratio, thereby improving the transposition efficiency.
(2) Since mRNA may be toxic during microinjection and affect transposition efficiency, we considered to construct a plasmid containing both a Tgf2 transposon and a transposase. So as to make the best proposal for the development and the utilization of a Tgf2 transposition system and provide a cornerstone for the wide application of the transposition element.
(3) Combining the above experimental results, we can use the Tgf2 transposable element as the basis of the insertional mutagenesis study in zebrafish, and use the transposon to search the hypoxia-resistant mechanism of megalobrama amblycephala in the later study.
The above embodiments are only used for further illustration of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent changes made based on the concept of the present invention and obvious modifications of various technical solutions of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
