Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of protein interaction research, in particular to a protein interaction detection method based on split-HRV 3C protease.
Background
The study of protein interactions is of vital biological importance for understanding metabolic processes in the body and the functions of the proteins involved. Today, many methods for studying protein interactions have been developed, such as: bacteria/yeast two-hybrid technology, Co-immunoprecipitation technology (Co-IP), GST pull down technology, split-protein complementation technology, and the like. The yeast two-hybrid technology is characterized by sensitivity, high efficiency, simple operation and large-scale verification, and in practical application, the yeast two-hybrid technology is accompanied by certain false positive due to the sensitivity of yeast two-hybrid, and the reaction is generated in cell nucleus, so the yeast two-hybrid technology is not suitable for all proteins. Meanwhile, the Co-IP uses an immune label to have false positive interaction, GST pull down needs to express purified protein in vitro, and certain limitation exists.

The technical scheme for solving the technical problems is as follows:
the protein interaction detection method based on the split-HRV 3C protease comprises the following steps:
step 1, fusing superfolder green fluorescent protein sfGFP at the N end of HRV 3C protease substrate sequence LEVLFQ ↓ GP, and fusing SsrA degradation label at the C end of HRV 3C protease substrate sequence to obtain HRV 3C protease substrate polypeptide sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA;
step 2, integrating sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA on a chromosome of the escherichia coli to obtain an escherichia coli recombinant strain;
step 3, splitting the HRV 3C protease into an N-terminal HRV 3C protease domain and a C-terminal HRV 3C protease domain, and fusing the capture protein to the N-terminal HRV 3C protease domain to obtain a first recombinant protein; fusing the bait protein to a C-terminal HRV 3C protease domain to obtain a second recombinant protein;
and 4, transferring the first recombinant protein and the second recombinant protein into an escherichia coli recombinant strain for co-expression, detecting a green fluorescent signal of the recombinant escherichia coli cell by using a flow cytometer, if the green fluorescent signal is detected, indicating that interaction exists between the capture protein and the bait protein, and if no green fluorescent signal is detected, indicating that interaction does not exist between the capture protein and the bait protein.
Further, the cleavage site of the HRV 3C protease in the step 2 is K82 site.
Further, the SsrA degradation tag can be recognized by the endogenous ClpXP degradation complex of E.coli, resulting in degradation of the SsrA N-terminal fused protein.
Furthermore, an N end of the HRV 3C protease substrate is fused with sfGFP, and a C end is fused with an SsrA degradation label; the HRV 3C protease substrate polypeptide is sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA.
Further, the capture protein and the bait protein are a target protein pair of interaction to be researched; the capture protein is fused at the N-terminal HRV 3C protease domain, and the bait protein is fused at the C-terminal HRV 3C protease domain.
Further, when the capture protein and the bait protein interact, the HRV 3C protease at the N end and the C end is fused to form the HRV 3C protease with complete function, and the cleavage and recognition of corresponding substrate polypeptide are carried out, so that the accumulation of sfGFP signals and the increase of the fluorescence intensity of cells are caused.
According to the method for detecting the protein interaction based on the split-HRV 3C protease, the sfGFP signal can be detected by a flow cytometer.

Detailed Description
The principles and features of this invention are described below in conjunction with the following drawings, which are set forth by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The invention establishes a novel technology for researching protein-protein interaction, namely split HRV 3C protease-E.coli ClpXP (SPEC, a split-HRV 3C protease system based on an escherichia coli ClpXP degradation machine). As shown in FIG. 1, first, sfGFP (super-fold green fluorescence protein) was fused to the N-terminus of HRV 3C protease substrate sequence (LEVLFQ ↓ GP), and SsrA degradation tag sequence (AANDENYALAA) was fused to the C-terminus of HRV 3C protease substrate sequence, forming a sfGFP-LEVLFQ ↓ GP-SsrA cassette structure. Meanwhile, HRV 3C protease (Human rhinovirus 3C protease) and TEV protease (tobacoetch virus protease) are both virus-derived proteases having high proteolytic activity and strong substrate specificity, and thus are good candidates for SPEC system proteases. HRV 3C protease has faster cleavage ability and at low temperature range compared to TEV protease(4 ℃ to 37 ℃) ability to maintain high activity, and is referred to as Raran-Kurussi, S.,

J.,Cherry,S.,Tropea,J.E.,and Waugh,D.S.Differential temperature dependence of tobacco etch virus and rhinovirus 3C proteases.Anal.Biochem.,2013;436,142-144]. The HRV 3C protease structure comprises two subdomains of a six-stranded β -barrel structure joined by random helices, referenced in Fan, x.et al.quantitative analysis of the substrate specificity of human rhenovirus 3C protease and expression of its substrate recognition mechanisms acs biol, 2019; 15,63-73]. As shown in fig. 2, the three residues K82, L94 and N107 in the HRV 3C protease structure are located on their random helices and subsequent β -pleated sheet domains, which are used to generate the split-HRV 3C protease. As shown in FIG. 1, the prey protein and the bait protein were then fused to the N-and C-termini, respectively, of the split-HRV 3C protease. In principle, sfGFP-LEVLFQ ↓ GP-SsrA highly expressed in E.coli is recognized by the ClpXP degradation complex due to the presence of the endogenous ClpXP-SsrA degradation pathway of E.coli, resulting in the degradation of sfGFP, thereby presenting a very low green fluorescence background (FIG. 1). Nevertheless, when the capture protein (prey protein) and the bait protein (Bait protein) interact, the two domains of the split-HRV 3C protease at the N-terminal and the C-terminal are fused again to form an HRV 3C protease with complete function, and the cleavage recognition of sfGFP-LEVLFQ ↓GP-SsrA is carried out, so that the SsrA degradation tag is dropped, and the accumulation of sfGFP and the increase of fluorescence intensity are caused.

As shown in FIG. 8, the amplified target fragment LpxM-L-sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA-LpxM-R and pKD46-cas9-gRNA co-transform E.coli BL21(DE3) which is spread on LA plate and cultured at 30 ℃, pKD46-cas9, pKD46-cas9-gRNA is selected as a control, when cas9-gRNA exerts editing action, cells containing cas9-gRNA will die because the genome is destroyed, cells containing cas9-gRNA will grow normally, and E.coli cells co-transforming cas9-gRNA and the target fragment will survive and be subjected to colony PCR detection and sequencing analysis to screen correct transformants (inserting sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA sequence into the lpM site on the genome).
Since the temperature-sensitive vector pKD46-cas9-gRNA was also present in the recombinant strain, the correct BL21(DE3) recombinant strain (lpxM:: sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA) was subsequently cultured at 42 ℃ for 12-16h for plasmid elimination. The strain which was selected to grow on LB plate but not on LA plate was BL21(DE3) (lpxM:: sfGFP-LEVLFQGP-SsrA) recombinant strain with successful plasmid elimination, and was named BL21(DE3) -SPEC.
Example 4
Evaluation of the working Effect of the final SPEC System Using split-HRV 3C (K82) protease in BL21(DE3) -SPEC recombinant strains at different temperatures (37,30,25 and 18 ℃), respectively
The split-HRV 3C (K82) protease series vectors (SPEC-VD and SPEC-VE) are respectively co-transformed into a BL21(DE3) -SPEC host, induced expression is carried out by adopting the method described in example 1 at different temperatures (37,30,25 and 18 ℃), and the result is detected by a CytoFLEX flow cytometer. As shown in FIG. 9, different pairs of strongly interacting proteins (Cas 1/Cas2-3 from zymomonas mobilis and Yae1/Lto1 from saccharomyces cerevisiae) were tested to exhibit the highest green fluorescent protein expression levels at different temperatures (37,30,25 and 18 ℃) for about 4,6,8 and 16h, respectively, indicating that the split-HRV 3C (K82) protease still exhibits good functional activity and sensitivity in the final SPEC system.
The system is a high-sensitivity method which is simple to operate and can be used for quantitatively detecting and analyzing the protein interaction of prokaryotic or eukaryotic species sources, and has wide temperature range adaptability. In addition, given that the split-HRV 3C (K82) protease has better functional activity and sensitivity than the split-TEV protease, the split-HRV 3C (K82) protease can also replace the split-TEV protease, and is widely applied to other split-protease related technologies. And the ClpXP-SsrA degradation pathway is widely present in other bacterial species (such as Bacillus subtilis and the like), the SPEC system method can also be easily transplanted to other bacterial species for study.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
