Description

Plant transformation
Technical Field
The present invention generally relates to methods and materials for gene or genome editing of plants.
Background
Gene targeting and Genome Editing (GE) systems hold great promise for specific gene targeting or precise genome editing, both for functional characterization of plant genes and for genetic improvement of crops.
GE systems typically involve the use of engineered nuclease systems. Nucleases can induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) or nicks in a target DNA sequence, such that repair of the break by non-homologous end joining or homology-directed repair can result in gene knock-out and/or insertion of the target sequence (targeted integration). Modulation and/or cleavage of endogenous genes can be achieved by using proteins and systems such as zinc finger protein transcription factors (ZFP-TFs), Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs), transcriptional activators such as effector transcription factors (TALE-TFs), CRISPR/Cas transcription factors (see, e.g., Perez-Pinera et al (2013) Nature Methods 10: 973-976), transcriptional activators such as effector nucleases (TALENs), Ttago nucleases or using CRISPR/Cas systems in conjunction with engineered crRNA/tracr RNA ("single guide RNA") to direct specific cleavage.
In plants, one of the key challenges in inducing GE is to deliver the entire system (nuclease and guide) into the cell for efficient expression. This is usually achieved by time-consuming and laborious plant transformation of the whole or part of the system, but not for species that are difficult or recalcitrant to transform.
Transient kits (e.g., virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS)5,6Gene Complementation (VIGC)7Hekaihua (VIF)8,9) Has been widely used in plants and several RNA/DNA viruses have been previously used to express the sgRNA component of only the GE in Cas 9-transgenic plants10-12
WO2014194190 relates to plant gene targeting and genome editing methods in the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering of DNA molecules introduced on specific types of vectors.
Nevertheless, it can be seen that a general non-transgenic strategy that could be used to exploit GE technology in plant functional genomics and crop improvement would contribute to the art.
Disclosure of Invention
The present inventors have provided a non-transgenic ViGE system using foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV), which is a positive single-stranded RNA mosaic virus capable of infecting monocotyledons and dicotyledons, to simultaneously transiently express the GE system represented by Cas9, sgRNA and RNAi repressor p19, in order to edit a target gene in plants.
Although, as described above, Cas9 transgenic plants have been used in the art (see Plant and Cell Physiology 58.4(2017):643-649 to Kaya et al), it is believed that the present invention expresses Cas9 from Plant viral vectors for the first time as part of a complete transient GE expression system.
Accordingly, in one aspect, there is provided a plant expression system for expressing a complete Genome Editing (GE) system for editing a target sequence in a plant, the expression system comprising at least one nucleotide sequence comprising:
(i) a plant-active promoter operably linked to a FoMV cDNA;
(ii) (ii) a FoMV cDNA encoding one or more recombinant foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) viral vectors comprising at least one subgenomic promoter (SGP) operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid encoding the GE system, and a terminator sequence;
(iii) a terminator sequence.
The invention also provides a process for producing said expression system, a method of editing a target sequence in a plant tissue, an RNA transcript from said expression system, a virus or viral particle encapsulating the RNA transcript, a kit comprising said expression system, and a plant host cell, tissue or whole plant comprising said expression system.
Preferably, the FoMV vector comprises all sequences required for replication and movement in the plant. The cDNA may be within an expression cassette, where the cDNA encodes the entire FoMV RNA genome (see, e.g., fig. 1A), but includes a subgenomic promoter operably linked to the heterologous nucleic acid.
Thus, the FoMV vector of the expression system is preferably fully functional. Once infiltrated into plant cells, they replicate and form viral particles that migrate between cells and spread systemically, forming systemic infections even in non-infiltrated leaf tissue.
However, the present invention is based on the use of transient system expressions and therefore does not employ the stable integration of one or more elements of the GE system as in the prior art. Thus, the system can be used to generate "transgene-free" plant tissue.
In another aspect, the system is directed to the use of RNA transcripts that have been expressed outside of the plant, e.g., extracted in vitro from suitable plasmids or other nucleic acids. Accordingly, the present invention additionally provides an in vitro expression system for expressing one or more RNA transcripts collectively encoding a complete Genome Editing (GE) system for editing a target sequence in a plant, wherein the expression system comprises at least one nucleotide sequence comprising:
(i) a promoter operably linked to a FoMV cDNA;
(ii) FoMV cDNA encoding one or more recombinant foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) viral vectors comprising at least one subgenomic promoter (SGP) operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid encoding the GE system.
In another aspect, the system can use RNA transcripts that have been expressed outside of the plant, e.g., isolated in vivo from a suitable plasmid or other encoding nucleic acid in a suitable microorganism or other isolated cell. Accordingly, the present invention additionally provides an in vivo expression system for expressing one or more RNA transcripts collectively encoding a complete Genome Editing (GE) system for editing a target sequence in a plant, wherein the expression system comprises at least one nucleotide sequence comprising:
(i) a promoter suitable for use in a microorganism or isolated cell, operably linked to a FoMV cDNA;
(ii) (ii) a FoMV cDNA encoding one or more recombinant foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) viral vectors comprising at least one subgenomic promoter (SGP) operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid encoding the GE system, and a terminator sequence;
(iii) a terminator sequence.
In another aspect, one or more isolated RNA transcripts (e.g., produced from an expression system described herein) that collectively encode a complete Genome Editing (GE) system for editing a target sequence in a plant are provided that encode one or more recombinant foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) viral vectors containing at least one subgenomic promoter (SGP) operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid encoding the GE system.
Preferably, the heterologous nucleic acid further comprises an RNAi inhibitor, e.g., p19 or a derivative thereof.
Preferably, the GE system consists of: (a) cas9, and (b) a small guide rna (sgrna) for targeting the GE system to a target sequence. The sgRNA takes a target sequence as a target point, and the Cas9 nuclease cuts a DNA molecule.
Thus, the expression system of the invention may itself comprise a vector or plasmid suitable for expression in plants or in vitro. They may consist of first and second expression vectors comprising or encoding first and second FoMV viral vectors each comprising heterologous nucleic acid encoding a GE system, e.g., the first vector expressing a nuclease such as Cas9, the second vector expressing the sgRNA and optionally the inhibitor.
FoMV is a species of Potexvirus and possesses a broad host range including 56 grasses and at least 35 dicots (Paulsen and Niblett, 1977; Short and Davies, 1987; Petty et al, 1989).
FoMV consists of a sense-antisense single-stranded (ss) RNA genome with a 5 '-methylguanosine cap, a 3' -poly A tail and five major Open Reading Frames (ORFs) and a unique 5A gene (Robertson et al, 2000). The five major ORFs all encode a functional protein (Robertson et al, 2000).
"plant-active promoter" refers to a nucleotide sequence for transcription initiation of a DNA operably linked downstream (i.e., in the 3' direction on the sense strand of a double-stranded DNA).
"operably linked" refers to being linked as part of the same nucleic acid molecule, in a position and orientation suitable for initiating transcription from a promoter (or subgenomic or other promoter). A nucleic acid operably linked to a promoter is "under transcriptional initiation control" of the promoter.
GE system
GE systems typically involve the use of engineered nuclease systems. In particular, nucleases can induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) or nicks in a target DNA sequence, such that repair of the break by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) can result in gene knock-out and/or insertion of the target sequence (targeted integration). Modulation and/or cleavage of endogenous genes can be achieved by using proteins and systems such as zinc finger protein transcription factors (ZFP-TFs), Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs), transcriptional activators such as effector transcription factors (TALE-TFs), CRISPR/Cas transcription factors (see, e.g., Perez-Pinera et al (2013) Nature Methods 10: 973-976), transcriptional activators such as effector nucleases (TALENs), Ttago nucleases or using CRISPR/Cas systems in conjunction with engineered crRNA/tracr RNA ("single guide RNA") to direct specific cleavage.
Since the specificity of CRISPR/Cas systems is based on nucleotide pairing rather than protein-DNA interactions, this approach may be simpler, more specific, more efficient, and useful for plant genome editing than existing ZFNs and TALEN systems. WO2014194190 …
Suppressor
Gene silencing suppressors useful in the present invention are known in the art and described in WO/2007/135480. Preferably, the inhibitor is tomato bushy stunt virus P19 or a mutant thereof.
Nucleic acids and vectors
The nucleic acids of the invention may be isolated and/or purified, in essentially pure or homogeneous form, or free or substantially free of other nucleic acids. The term "isolated" encompasses all of these possibilities.
The vector used in the present invention is a "ViGE vector", which means a vector suitable for delivering a gene editing system to a plant by replicating a viral transcript in the plant. These can be delivered by introduction into the expression system of the plant or directly by RNA transcripts. In general, those skilled in the art will be able to construct vectors according to the invention, whether for plants or for microbial cells or other isolated cells or expression systems, given the disclosure of the invention. In addition to the promoter, terminator, the vector may also include other regulatory sequences, for example to define an expression cassette consisting of a modified recombinant FoMV cDNA and a heterologous nucleotide sequence. For details, for example, Molecular Cloning: a Laboratory Manual, second edition, Sambrook et al, 1989, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. Many known techniques and Protocols for manipulating nucleic acids, such as preparing nucleic acid constructs, mutagenesis, sequencing, introducing DNA into cells and gene expression, and protein analysis, are described in detail in Protocols in Molecular Biology, Second Edition, Ausubel et al eds., John Wiley & Sons, 1992. Specific procedures and vectors which have previously achieved widespread success in plants are described by Bevan, Nucl. acids Res. (1984) 12, 8711-. See: plant Molecular Biology Labfax (Croy RRD ed) Oxford, BIOS Scientific Publishers, pp 121-148.
In one aspect of the invention, a microbial expression vector is based on a plasmid, such as pUC or pBluescript, that can be used to transform e.coli expressing T7 RNA polymerase.
In one aspect of the invention, a plant expression vector is based on a plant binary transformation vector, such as pYL44, a pBIN 19-based T vector containing repeats of the CaMV 35S promoter and NOS terminator therein (Liu et al, 2002 b; also materials and methods below).
Transfer sequence
In one embodiment, the plant expression system further comprises a border sequence allowing for transfer of the nucleotide sequence into the plant genome at the entry site, e.g. a border sequence extending from agrobacterium tumefaciens. In these embodiments, the nucleotide sequence is located between the border sequences and can be inserted into the plant genome under appropriate conditions. Typically, this can be achieved by using the so-called "agroinfiltration", a method that uses agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation. Briefly, this technique is based on the property of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to transfer a portion of its DNA ("T-DNA") into a host cell where it may be integrated into nuclear DNA. T-DNA is defined by a border sequence of about 25 nucleotides in length. In the present invention, the border sequence is included around a "transfer nucleotide sequence" (T-DNA), wherein the entire vector is introduced into the plant by agricultural infiltration, or may be in the form of a binary transformation vector.
However, such border sequences are not essential for the use of the invention, and are dependent on the replication and movement of the FoMV viral nucleic acid in the plant. Thus, such a border sequence may not exist.
Plant promoters
Suitable plant-active promoters are well known to those skilled in the art and include the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) gene promoter expressed at high levels in virtually all plant tissues. The promoter may in principle be an inducible promoter, for example the maize glutathione-S-transferase isoform II (GST-II-27) gene promoter, which is activated in response to the administration of an exogenous safener (WO93/01294, ICI Ltd). The GST-II-27 gene promoter has been shown to be induced by certain compounds that are useful in growing plants. Another suitable promoter may be the DEX promoter (Plant Journal (1997)11: 605-.
In vitro synthesis of RNA transcripts
As an alternative to introducing expression systems into plants, the present invention may be practiced using in vitro or in vivo synthesis of single stranded FoMV RNA molecules.
The in vitro synthesis of single-stranded RNA molecules is a routine laboratory procedure. Modern commercially available multipurpose cloning vectors typically contain a Multiple Cloning Site (MCS) flanked on each side by multiple promoters for different polymerases (e.g., SP6, T7, and T3 phage RNA polymerases, e.g., available from ThermoFisher Scientific).
Plasmid templates are typically linearized with restriction enzymes to allow synthesis of a missing RNA transcript with a defined end.
Most eukaryotic mRNA molecules have either 5' 7-methylguanosine residues or a cap structure, both of which play a role in the initiation of protein synthesis, protecting the mRNA from intracellular nuclease digestion. Capped in vitro transcripts can be synthesized by replacing a portion of GTP in the transcription reaction with a cap analogue (m7G (5') ppp (5') G).
Thus, both in vitro and in vivo FoMV GE expression systems as well as FoMV GE RNA transcripts constitute the invention.
Subgenomic promoters (SGPs)
According to the ViGE vector of the present invention, the heterologous GE system nucleic acid is operably linked to a subgenomic promoter that is recognized by an efficient replicase and results in transcription of subgenomic RNA corresponding to all or part of the GE system.
In one embodiment, the SGP is a FoMV SGP, such as a coat protein. However, SGPs of other potato viruses such as potato virus x (pvx) (5'-gaacggttaagtttccattgatactcgaaaga-3') can be used in place of FoMV SGP to control expression of heterologous nucleic acids encoding the GE system.
The SGP linked to the heterologous nucleic acid encoding the GE system is typically an additional SGP introduced into the FoMV sequence or a repetitive (second) SGP based on the native SGP of the FoMV. The first subgenomic promoter operably linked to a heterologous sequence is preferably the same sequence as the second subgenomic promoter. In this example, the first and second SGPs may both be from the same FoMV ORF, e.g., they may both be Coat Protein (CP) SGPs or both may be Triple Gene Block (TGB) SGPs.
Thus, some aspects and embodiments herein are exemplified by an incoming copy (duplicate) of the FoMV CP SGP, which is 5' from the local CP SGP and ORF. However, given the present disclosure, one skilled in the art will appreciate that other subgenomic promoters may be used, for example, the subgenomic promoter from the Triple Gene Block (TGB) of FoMV.
For example, the two subgenomic promoters include the native FoMV coat protein subgenomic promoter. This can be represented by the 170-bp sequence shown in 5202 to 5371 of SEQ ID NO. 1, but it will be appreciated that shorter or longer versions may be used as well. Generally, promoters are 100 to 500 nucleotides in length.
Some specific preferred embodiments will now be discussed:
CRISPR/CAS9
a preferred GE system in the context herein is the "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats" (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system1. This system is an adaptive immune mechanism found in bacterial and archaeal species that allows the host to fight pathogens, such as bacteriophages (Barrangou et al, science315,1709-1712 (2007); Marraffini, L.A).&Sontheimer,E.J.Science 322,1843-1845(2008);Bhaya,D.,Davison,M.&Barrangou, R.Annual review of genetics 45, 273-; garneau, j.e. et al Nature 468,67-71 (2010)). The phage-derived 30bp DNA fragment was inserted into the CRISPR locus of the host cell and transcribed to CRISPR RNA (crRNA). These form complexes with trans-encoding rna (tracrrna) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins, and the complexes introduce site-specific cleavage at DNA sites that match the crRNA sequence. This mechanism has been applied to eukaryotes1-4Specific and multiple GE in (1).
CRISPR-Cas9 is a type II CRISPR-Cas system. The CRISPR-Cas9 system of streptococcus pyogenes is used in the art as a simple and versatile tool for RNA-guided genome editing (RGE) in different organisms. In Cas 9-mediated RGE, a single or dual short RNA molecule (short guide RNA or sgRNA) directs Cas9 to target a desired DNA site for genome modification or transcriptional control. The sgRNA-Cas9 recognizes the target DNA by sgRNA-DNA pairing between the 5' terminal leader sequence of the sgRNA (called the sgRNA spacer) and one DNA strand (the complementary strand of the prototype spacer). Cas9 also requires the Presence of A Motif (PAM) adjacent to the original spacer in the target site after the sgRNA-DNA pairing region.
In the expression systems described herein, the Cas9 sequence may include FLAG and/or nuclear localization signals. SEQ ID No: a non-limiting example of a Cas9 sequence is shown in fig. 3, although variants of this Cas9 sequence as well as other GE systems can also be used within the invention described herein.
Compositions and METHODS FOR making and using CRISPR-Cas systems are described in U.S. patent No.8,697,359, entitled "CRISPR-CAS SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR isolating EXPRESSION OF GENE PRODUCTS," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
CRISPR-cas9 plasmids used in plants are commercially available, for example from addge, see: www.addgene.org/criprpr/plant/.
U6 promoter & sgRNA
Production of sgRNAs is typically driven by promoters from small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), such as U6 and U3 snRNAs (see, e.g., Cong L, Ran FA, Cox D, Lin S, Barretto R, Habib N, Hsu PD, Wu X, Jiang W, Marraffini LA, Zhang F. multiple gene engineering using CRISPR/Cas systems science 2013; 339(6121): 819-.
SEQ ID No.4 shows a non-limiting example of a U6 promoter scaffold suitable for use in the present invention. The scaffold also encodes tracrRNA (trans-activating crRNA) that plays a role in maturation of sgrnas.
sgrnas typically comprise a targeting sequence that corresponds to a target sequence in a target gene and comprises PAM.
Suppressor
Gene silencing suppressors useful in the present invention are known in the art and described in WO/2007/135480. They include HcPro from potato virus Y, He-Pro from TEV, P19 from TBSV, rgsCam, B2 protein from FHV, small coat protein of CPMV and coat protein from TCV. Preferably, the inhibitor is P19 or a mutant thereof.
Preferably, the mutant is a mutant P19 RNAi inhibitor, having potent RNAi inhibitory activity but lacking pathogenic function 15. One non-limiting example is shown in SEQ ID NO 2. Other modified P19 mutants are described for example by Shi et al (2009) "Suppression of local RNA sizing is not present to promoter cell-to-cell movement of Turnip crinkle virus in Nicotiana benthamiana" Plant signalling & Behavior 4:1,15-22 or by Scholthof US 20100269220.
Recombinant FoMV cDNA
Any suitable FoMV strain that produces a replicating, infectious FoMV viral transcript can be used in the present invention.
Within the FoMV sequence, all native FoMV ORFs, i.e. the FoMV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, triple gene blocks and coat protein, are preferably retained.
However, one or more sequences may be deleted if the nucleic acid is still available for the production of a replicated infectious transcript.
Preferably, the elements in the nucleotide sequence are in the listed 5 'to 3' sequences.
Preferably, the vector system is based on the FoMV/P19: sgRNA (targeting the desired endogenous gene) and FoMV/Cas9, as described herein, e.g., with reference to fig. 1.
For example, the expression system may include FoMV/P19: sgRNApds, in which the PDS sequence is replaced with a different target gene sequence, including a suitable PAM. SEQ ID No:1 contains HpaI/AscI sites to facilitate cloning of different target gene sequences.
Substantially homologous variants of this sequence are also included within the scope of the invention. In particular, vectors derived from these FoMV vectors and having the characteristics of those vectors (described herein) are also included.
Targeted genes
For ViGE vectors, the GE system will include a "targeting gene", typically within a guide RNA or the like. This corresponds to the sequence in the plant to be edited.
Typically, the targeting sequence may be derived from an endogenous plant nuclear gene or transgene.
The methods of the invention may comprise identifying a PAM in the complementary strand of the target gene of interest. The methods of the invention can include engineering a sgRNA to be complementary to a selected target, wherein the 5' end of the engineered sgRNA is adjacent to the PAM.
A non-limiting example of the U6 promoter scaffold encoding the sgRNA (in this case, the plant PDS gene) is shown in SEQ ID No. 5.
ViGE is particularly useful for studying gene function because it can be used to make precise changes to a particular gene, thereby providing information about the function of that gene in vivo. In such cases, the targeting sequence may not be known, but the method of the invention can be used to identify its specific phenotype.
An "endogenous" gene is a gene that is present in a particular cell at a particular developmental stage under particular environmental conditions. For example, an endogenous nucleic acid can comprise the genome of a chromosome, mitochondrion, chloroplast or other organelle, or an episomal nucleic acid that occurs in nature. Other endogenous molecules may include proteins, such as transcription factors and enzymes.
For purposes of the present invention, "gene" includes the DNA region encoding the gene product (see below), as well as all DNA regions that regulate the production of the gene product, whether or not such regulatory sequences are contiguous with coding and/or transcribed sequences. Thus, genes include, but are not limited to, promoter sequences, terminators, translation regulatory sequences such as ribosome binding sites and internal ribosome entry sites, enhancers, silencers, insulators, border elements, origins of replication, matrix attachment sites, and locus control regions.
Targeted genes include those that confer plant traits and therefore may require editing using ViGE. For example, specific genes in mature tomato to improve the processing and handling characteristics of harvested fruit; a gene involved in pollen formation which enables a breeder to reproducibly produce a male sterile plant from the F1 hybrid; genes involved in lignin biosynthesis that improve the quality of pulp made from plant vegetative tissue; genes involved in the production of anthocyanidins, which genes give rise to new flowers and flowers; genes involved in regulatory pathways controlling development or environmental responses, which produce plants with new growth habits or, for example, disease resistance; eliminating toxic secondary metabolites through gene silencing of genes required for toxin production.
The plant of the present invention has utility
The invention is particularly applicable to plants that are native hosts (compatible with FoMV).
By "compatible" is meant capable of operating with other components of the system, in which case the FoMV must be capable of being replicated in the plant in question.

Partial or complete digestion indicated that ViGE occurred in p19 transgenic Nb, but not in normal Nb infected with FoMV/Cas9+ FoMV/sgRNApds. The MlyI insensitive PCR product (e.g., triangle (f) here) was purified from agarose gel and cloned into a T-vector and sequenced. The position and size (f) of the DNA ladder is shown. It should be noted that in these ViGE plants there were no albinism or dwarfing phenotypes (d, e and FIGS. 2c, d), probably because most of the mutations were point mutations (FIGS. 2g, h), which did not result in changes in the amino acid sequence of the PDS protein.

Detailed Description
Example 1 ViGE Using FoMV vectors without Gene silencing
To test ViGE, we utilized originally VIGS13FoMV vectors designed but more recently directed to VIF14And transient gene expression was modified (FIG. 3). We cloned the coding sequence of 3xFLAG and Cas9 labeled with a Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS), Phytoene Desaturase (PDS) -targeted sgrna, or sgrna (sgrna) lacking any targeting sequence, into FoMV and the resulting FoMV/Cas9, FoMV/sgrna, and FoMV/sgrna, respectively.
Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb) plants infected with either FoMV/Cas9 in combination with either FoMV/sgRNAnon or FoMV/Cas9+ FoMV/sgRNApds did not show any symptoms by leaf coingregation, consistent with the detection of potential FoMV infection of viral RNA by RT-PCR (fig. 5 a-c). Then, we extracted genomic DNA from whole body leaf tissue and amplified sgRNApds target PDS gene. Complete MlyI digestion and subsequent sequencing analysis of the resulting PCR products showed that ViGE did not occur (FIGS. 4 e-h). We suspect that the initial failure of ViGE may be due to low efficacy of FoMV infection and insufficient viral expression of Cas9 and sgRNApds in plants.
Example 2 ViGE Using FoMV vectors with transiently expressed p19 repressor
To enhance the infectivity of FoMV to increase the levels of Cas9 and sgRNApds, we co-expressed tomato bushy stunt virus p19, a mutated RNAi repressor with strong RNAi inhibitory activity but no pathogenesis in plants 15. I generated a single copy homozygous Nb line transformed with the p19 expression cassette (FIG. 6 a). Transgenic plants infected with FoMV/sgRNApds and FoMV/Cas9 exhibited mosaic, chlorosis, and leaf curls (FIGS. 6b-e), and viral expression of Cas9mRNA was readily detected. Genomic PCR-MlyI screening of 24 infected p19 transgenes in 4 different experiments showed that sgRNApds target was only cleaved by MlyI, indicating that plant systemic ViGE occurred (fig. 6 f). Further cloning and sequencing of the PCR product against MlyI identified 104 mutations, including nucleotide deletions and substitutions in the target region. These findings are supported by the finding that GE content is increased in RNAi pathway-deficient Arabidopsis thaliana16
Example 3 multifunctional transient whole body ViGE System for plants
Then, we generated a new vector, FoMV/P19: sgRNApds to express p19 and sgRNApds. With FoMV/Cas9 and FoMV/P19: after agroagulation of germinated Nb seeds by sgRNApds, plants grew and developed significant systemic viral symptoms (fig. 2 a-d). Viral delivery of p19 significantly enhanced the level of Cas9 protein in young leaf tissues (fig. 2e, f) and resulted in systemic ViGE effective against PDS targets (fig. 2g, h and fig. 7).
Example 4 use of the ViGE System in monocotyledons
Examples 1 to 3 illustrate how ViGE can be used effectively in dicotyledonous plants. The host range of the FoMV virus includes monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, and therefore the invention is equally applicable to monocotyledonous plants.
The vector system described in example 2 (FoMV/Cas9 and FoMV/P19: sgRNAxxx) was introduced into tissues from maize (Zea maysL) using known techniques of transient expression, in which the sgRNA is targeted to the desired endogenous gene. Alternatively, RNA transcripts prepared by in vitro transcription were introduced into Maize tissue by bombardment (see, e.g., Yadava P, Abhishek A, Singh R et al Advances in Maize Transformation Technologies and Development of Transgenic Maize Sci.2017; published 7:1949.2017, 1/6.d., doi: 10.3389/fpls.2016.01949). Once the transcript penetrates into the plant cells, it replicates and forms viral particles that migrate between cells and spread systemically within the plant, establishing a systemic infection.
Conclusion of the examples
Combining our data indicates that simultaneous delivery of Cas9, sgRNA, and RNAi inhibitor p19 from FoMV results in the production of ViGE in plants. Expression of large proteins (e.g., Cas9) in excess of 160kD in size from FoMV for any plant virus-based gene expression system is also unprecedented17. This rapid and efficient method involves neither plant transformation nor transgenic expression of Cas9 or sgrnas. Considering the wide range of host species13,14FoMV-based ViGE is applicable to dicots and monocots, including important cereal crops.
Method of examples 1 to 3
Construction of a FoMV-based expression vector. Using high fidelity KOD-Plus-Neo DNA polymerase (Toyobo), as FLAG: NLS: Cas9: NLS4The coding sequence of 3xFLAG and Cas9 labeled with a Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) (designated as FLAG: NLS: Cas9: NLS) was amplified using a set of primers Cas9-3X-NLS-Hpa-MLU-F and Cas9-3X-NLS-Xhol-ASC-R as template plasmids (supplementary Table 1). The resulting PCR product, approximately 4.2Kb in length, was then treated with HpaI and AscI and cloned into the binary vector pCambia2300-FoMV13To generate FoMV/Cas 9. For the production of FoMV/sgRNAnon and FoMV/sgRNApds, the high fidelity KOD-Plus-Neo DNA polymerase, pT-U6p-scaffold-U6t, was used11Or pCVA-gRNA as shown in the specification, NbPDS plasmid DNA11As a template and using primers AUT-Hpa-F3 and U6T-ASC-R2 (supplementary Table 1), HpaI was usedDigested with AscI and then cloned into the binary vector pCambia2300-FoMV13The corresponding DNA fragment was amplified from the HpaI/AscI site of (1). To generate FoMV/P19: sgRNApds, high fidelity KOD-Plus-Neo DNA polymerase was used, encoding the sequence P1915The P19 gene was amplified using the pEAQ-HT plasmid as a template and using a set of primers P19-ORF-F and P19-ORF-R (supplementary Table 1) and cloned into the Hpal site of FoMV/sgRNApds. Similarly, the eGFP gene was amplified using primers eGFP-ORF-F and eGFP-ORF-R (supplementary Table 1), plasmid pEGFP (Clontech) as template, and cloned into the Hpal site of pCambia2300-FoMV to produce FoMV/eGFP (FIG. 3 a). A pair of primers, Fomv Seq _6830_5K-F and Fomv Seq _7260_ SUBP-R (supplementary Table 1), was used to verify FLAG by PCR: NLS: cas9: NLS, sgRNAnon, sgRNApds, or P19: the insertion of sgRNApds in these FoMV vectors was further confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Prior to use in subsequent agroaortic infiltration experiments and plant transformation, by electroporation18All the FoMV constructs and the binary vector pEAQ-HT15Transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404, respectively, and verified by sequencing of the plasmid prepared in minute quantities in Agrobacterium cultures.
Plant transformation such as19As described, a number of primary p 19-transgenic lines were generated by leaf disc transformation of Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb) with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 containing pEAQ-HT. Specific primers P19-ORF-F and P19-ORF-R (supplementary Table 1) were used to verify transformation by PCR amplification of the integrated P19 transgene. After self-fertilization, the T1 and T2 progeny were tested for antibiotic sensitivity by germinating the seeds on 0.5mg/ml kanamycin. 5 independent single copy homozygous Nb lines transformed with the p19 transgene were obtained, with mendelian 3: 1 ratio of separation is demonstrated. Like WT Nb, all p19 transgenic plants grew properly and grew well.
Viral Infection (ViGE), plant growth, and maintenance. To prepare the FoMV and recombinant FoMV inocula, Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 carrying different FoMV constructs was cultured overnight in LB medium containing 0.5mg/ml streptomycin and 0.5mg/ml kanamycin (FIG. 3a) to reach 1.0OD at 28C600Is then made ofCollected by centrifugation at 3000rpm for 10 minutes and resuspended in sterile water to a final density of 0.5OD600. For agrobacterium-infiltrated leaves, agrobacterium is immersed in young leaves of wild-type or transgenic Nb plants at the six-leaf stage by 0.5 ml needle-free syringe. Alternatively, germinated seeds are subjected to agricultural infiltration to reduce viral infection time. Briefly, tens of Nb seeds were spread onto 3MM Whatman filter paper pre-soaked in sterile water and placed in petri dishes (10 cm diameter). The dishes were kept in the growth chamber under constant illumination at 25 ℃. After two days of standing under these conditions, the seeds began to dehull and germinate. At this stage, seeds were collected and stored in 50mL-FalconTMCentrifuge tube with 5ml 0.5OD600And (4) mixing the agrobacterium. Agroinfiltration of the seeds was achieved using a vacuum pump at a pressure of 0.085MPa for 10 minutes. The agroinfiltrated seeds were then transferred to compost and left in the dark for 24 hours. Subsequently, plants were grown in an insect-free growth chamber at 25 ℃ under 16 h light/8 h dark conditions, periodically checked for the presence of local and systemic infections, and recorded photographically using a D7000Sony NEX-5R camera.
Confocal microscopy. To examine eGFP expression from FoMV/eGFP, Nb leaves were harvested on day 4 after Agrobacterium infiltration and examined by Nikon A1 confocal microscopy at 488nm excitation to excite GFP and monitor emission of green fluorescence (510nm)20. Nb skins were also photographed in the bright field, as instructed by the manufacturer. Confocal images were processed using nikon a1 Nis-Elements software.
RNA extraction and RT-PCR. RNA was extracted from whole body Nb young leaf tissue using RNAprep pure plant kit (TIANGEN). First strand cDNA was synthesized from DNase I treated RNA (2. mu.g) by M-MLV reverse transcriptase using the FastQuant RT kit (TIANGEN) according to the manufacturer's instructions. PCR was performed to detect the FoMV genomic RNA using cDNA as a template along with either Cas9 or p19 mRNA expressed virally (supplementary table 1) with primers for each target and analyzed by 1.2% agarose gel electrophoresis.
Western blot analysis. Such as19Said young Nb leaves from the whole bodyTotal protein was extracted from the tissues. After electrophoresis at 100V for 2 hours, protein aliquots (20. mu.g) were separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad). The following compositions were used: western blot analysis was performed with 2000 mouse anti-FLAG (Sigma-Aldrich) antibodies, run through a 1: 5000 goat anti-mouse IgG horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody (Abcam) and SuperSignal West Femto maximum sensitivity substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Chemiluminescence signals were detected using a ChemiDoc XRS + imaging system (Bio-Rad) as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Genomic DNA extraction and molecular characterization of ViGE. DNA was isolated from whole body Nb young leaf tissue using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Genomic PCR amplification of the sgRNA target PDS gene (407bp) was performed using high fidelity KOD-Plus-Neo DNA polymerase, 10-100ng of DNA as template and primers PDS _ MLY ID-F3 and PDS _ Mly _ ID-R (supplementary Table 1). Subsequently, two methods were used to characterize ViGE. In method I, genomic PCR products (about 400ng) were treated with MlyI (NEB) at 37 ℃ for 6 hours and analyzed by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. Any undigested PCR fragment was purified from the gel and cloned into pEASY-Blunt3 cloning vector (TransGen Biotech) for Sanger sequencing. In method II, the genomic PCR product was cloned directly into the pEASY-Blunt3 cloning vector. After high fidelity colony PCR/MlyI digestion and screening, plasmid DNA is prepared in a trace manner for sequencing. It should be noted that the high fidelity KOD-Plus-Neo DNA polymerase and the detection of deletions and substitutions of various nucleotides including A → T and T → A ensure that these mutations we have identified are not the result of PCR errors, but are produced by the plant ViGE.
