The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to artificial non-coding RNA with a nitrogen fixation gene silencing function and application thereof in microbial gene expression regulation.
Background art:
RNA interference (RNAi) technology has been developed as a main means for studying expression regulation in eukaryotes, but the main tools for studying gene expression in prokaryotes are still homologous recombination, gene knockout and the like.
The non-coding RNA is used as a novel regulation factor in a bacterial metabolism regulation network, and has the advantages of rapid response, flexible and accurate control, easy recovery, no metabolic burden and the like. By utilizing the synthetic biology concept and designing artificial non-coding RNA, the rapid and high-flux gene expression regulation can be realized on the premise of not changing chromosome genes.
However, artificial non-coding RNA is currently used only in metabolic engineering of biological products such as biofuels (butanol, propane, etc.), glutamic acid, and N-acetylglucosamine.
There is much space available for artificial non-coding RNAs in many fields. For example, in the field of biological nitrogen fixation, NifL is known to be a negative regulator of a nitrogen fixation gene, and if it is inactivated, the inhibition effect of NifL on a positive regulator of nitrogen fixation NifA can be released, so that the expression of nif gene is influenced, therefore, artificial non-coding RNA with the function of silencing NifL gene is constructed, and an intelligent regulatory element can be provided for the construction of a high-efficiency nitrogen fixation system.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to construct artificial non-coding RNA with a gene silencing function in a nitrogen-fixing microorganism chassis for gene expression regulation and control research.
The invention designs and synthesizes 5 Artificial non-coding RNAs (Artificial Nitrogen fixing gene activity-Silenting non-coding RNAs) with nitrogen fixing gene Silencing function, which are respectively named as AnsR1, AnsR2, AnsR3, AnsR4 and AnsR5, and the nucleotide sequences of the Artificial non-coding RNAs are respectively shown as SEQ ID NO:1, NO: 2, NO: 3, NO: 4, NO:5, respectively. The 5 artificial non-coding RNAs all have the following functional regions and characteristics:
(1) has a complementary pairing region with the SD sequence of 5' UTR of nifL mRNA of a nitrogenase-fixing regulatory gene;
(2) contains an Hfq protein binding site (5 artificial non-coding RNA coding sequences contain different numbers of Hfq protein binding sites, wherein the artificial non-coding RNA shown in SEQ ID NO:5 contains the largest number of Hfq binding sites);
(3) a Rho factor-independent transcription terminator.
The principle that the artificial non-coding RNA constructed by the invention plays a gene silencing function is as follows:
the 5 artificial non-coding RNAs can be respectively combined with the SD sequence of the 5' UTR of the target nitrogen fixation regulation gene nifL mRNA, so that the combination of the mRNA and ribosomal RNA is prevented, and the expression of the nitrogen fixation gene nifL is silenced.
The silencing function of the nitrogen-fixing gene is designed aiming at the nifL, the NifL is used as a negative regulator of the nifL, and a compound can be formed through the interaction between NifA proteins, so that the inactivation of the NifA is caused, and the expression of the nif is closed, therefore, the artificial non-coding RNA with the function of silencing the nifL gene is constructed, and an intelligent regulation element can be provided for the construction of a high-efficiency nitrogen-fixing system.
The invention also constructs an expression vector pBBR1MCS-AnsR1/2/3/4/5 of the artificial non-coding RNA AnsR1/2/3/4/5, and the expression of 5 artificial RNA coding sequences is controlled by an artificial promoter for induced expression under the nitrogen-fixing condition.
The invention transfers 5 artificially constructed expression vectors into nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501(P.stutzeri A1501) respectively to obtain 5 nitrogen-fixing recombinant engineering strains A1501(AnsR1/AnsR2/AnsR3/AnsR4/AnsR 5).
Experiments prove that the 5 artificial non-coding RNAs AnsR1/2/3/4/5 can silence the expression of the target gene nifL mRNA under the nitrogen fixation condition, and the AnsR5 with the largest number of Hfq binding sites has the strongest inhibition capacity, which indicates that the Hfq protein is involved in the silencing of the nitrogen fixation gene nifL by influencing the stability of the artificial non-coding RNA.

The artificial non-coding RNA 1/2/3/4/5 induced and expressed under the nitrogen fixing condition can reduce the nitrogen fixing capacity of the Chassis microorganism A1501.
Example 6 analysis of expression of Nitrogen fixation-related genes in recombinant bacterium A1501(AnsR1/AnsR2/AnsR3/AnsR4/AnsR5)
(I) Experimental method
1. The cells of the recombinant strain A1501(AnsR1/AnsR2/AnsR3/AnsR4/AnsR5) were collected under nitrogen fixation.
2. Total RNA of the cells was extracted using innuPREP Mini Kit2.0 kit from Analytik jengagon.
3. The same amount of sample RNA was subjected to single-stranded DNA (cDNA) inversion using the Vazyme HiScript III 1st Strand CdnaSynthesis Kit (+ gDNA wiper) Kit.
qRT-PCR (quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) for respectively detecting expression quantities of nitrogen fixation related genes nifL, nifA, nifH, nifD and nifK in recombinant bacteria A1501(AnsR1/AnsR2/AnsR3/AnsR4/AnsR5)
(II) results of the experiment
The expression levels of nifL, nifA, nifH, nifD and nifK in the recombinant strain A1501(AnsR1/AnsR2/AnsR3/AnsR4/AnsR5) were all lower than those in the wild-type A1501 (FIG. 4).
(III) conclusion of the experiment
The artificial non-coding AnsR1/2/3/4/5 inhibits the expression of a target gene nifL, and since nifL is co-transcribed with a nitrogen fixation positive regulatory gene nifA, the expression of nifA is influenced, the expression of a nitrogen fixation enzyme coding gene nifHDK is further influenced, and the nitrogen fixation capability of A1501 is reduced.
Example 7 identification of the binding Capacity of the Artificial non-coding RNA AnsR4/AnsR5 to the NifL mRNA of the target Gene
(I) Experimental method
RNA Synthesis and labeling
A sequence 20bp (including an SD sequence of nifL mRNA) which is complementary and matched with the artificial non-coding RNA in nifL mRNA is synthesized by marine bioengineering limited company, and 5' FAM fluorescent label is used as a probe; artificial non-coding RNA AnsR4 and AnsR5 coding sequences with the total length of 354bp and 379bp are obtained by an in vitro transcription method and are used as ligands.
2. Mixed reaction of probe and ligand
100nM of labeled probe nifL mRNA and 3. mu.M of unlabeled ligands AnsR4, AnsR5 were added to 16 standard-treated capillaries, respectively, and allowed to stand for 5 min.
3. Microcalorimetric surge measurement and data analysis
The binding capacity between AnsR4, AnsR5 and nifL mRNA was analyzed using NT.115 instrument (NanoTemper Technologies GmbH) and the dissociation constant Kd was calculated. Kd ═ a ] × [ L ]/[ AL ], where [ a ] is the concentration of free fluorescent molecules, [ L ] is the concentration of free ligands, and [ AL ] is the concentration of a and L complexes.
(II) results of the experiment
The microcalorimetric swimming fit curves between the artificial non-coding RNAs AnsR4, AnsR5 and nifL mRNA are typical 'S' -shaped curves, which shows that the artificial non-coding RNAs AnsR4, AnsR5 and nifL mRNA have good combination tendency (FIG. 5).
(III) conclusion of the experiment
The artificial non-coding RNAs AnsR4 and AnsR5 can interact with the nifL mRNA of the target gene respectively in a base complementary pairing mode, and the expression of the genes is silenced.
