Description

PAG-Tn5 mutant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a PAG-Tn5 transposase mutant, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
CUT & Tag is a novel technology for researching interaction between specific proteins and DNA at the whole genome level, and the principle is that Protein G/A and Tn5 transposase are fused to form a novel pG-Tn5/pA-Tn5 fusion enzyme with antibody recognition function and transposase activity. During research, specific antibody is first used to incubate with nuclear target protein, then pG-Tn5/pA-Tn5 enzyme is added to recognize the antibody binding site and insert the label sequence, and finally the interaction between the specific protein and DNA is identified through high flux sequencing. CUT & Tag can replace the traditional ChIP-seq to a certain extent, and has the advantages of low initial cell quantity, high signal-to-noise ratio and the like.
Protein a (Protein) a is a cell wall Protein of one strain of staphylococcus aureus, which binds to mammalian IgG through the Fc region, contains 4 Ig Fc region binding sites, and is commonly used to immunoprecipitate murine IgG2a, igG2b, igA, rabbit IgG, and several antibodies of human IgG1, igG2, and IgG 4. Protein G (Protein G) is a cell wall Protein from the group G of Streptococcus, which binds specifically to the Fc region of IgG and binds all human and murine IgG antibody subtypes, whereas Protein A is not. Protein G has better binding capacity to IgG than Protein A.
The 3 xflag tag polypeptide facilitates exposure of the antibody binding epitope, and thus is bound by the antibody. In most cases, the FLAG tag will be built up at the N-terminus or C-terminus of the protein, and in most cases the N-terminus or C-terminus of the protein is free on the surface of the protein, and antibodies will bind.
Tn5 transposase can insert Tn5 transposons into a sequence of interest with high efficiency. The principle of Tn5 enzyme library construction specifically refers to that DNA is randomly interrupted by the transposition process of Tn5 transposomes, meanwhile, sequencing joints are inserted into two ends of fragmented DNA molecules, and finally, the construction of a DNA library containing complete joints of P5 ends and P7 ends is completed by adding sequencing indexes into PCR. The method greatly shortens the time for library construction and reduces the complex flow of the traditional library construction, so that the method is widely used in the field of second-generation sequencing at present.
PAG-Tn5 transposase (Transposase) consists of Tn5 transposase fusion Protein A, protein G and 3×FLAG tag proteins, can better specifically identify antibody binding sites, accelerate Tn5 transposition efficiency, insert tag sequences, and finally identify specific Protein and DNA interactions through high throughput sequencing. However, pAG-Tn5 transposase has the problems of low enzyme activity, unobvious characteristic peaks of nucleosomes, host pollution and the like, and greatly restricts the application of CUT & Tag technology.
