Description

Modification editing method based on dCasRx-NSUN6 monogene specificity M5C
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of RNA editing, in particular to a dCasRx-m5C modified vector system for targeted RNA methylation and a construction method and application thereof.
Background
Cytosine 5-methylation (i.e., m 5C) is a relatively common modification in RNA, and studies have demonstrated that m5C modification occurs primarily in the nucleus, partially in the mitochondria, and is dynamically catalyzed by the NOL1/NOP2/SUN (NSUN) family and DNMT2 (m 5C 'Writer', m5C encoder) as methyltransferases and demethyltransferase Tet2 (m 5C 'Eraser', m5C decoder). m5C can exert its biological effect by combining ALYREF and YBX1 (m 5C 'Reader', m5C Reader).
RPSA is an important transmembrane protein receptor belonging to the non-integrin family, also known as laminin receptor 1, and is composed of 295 amino acids including an intracellular segment, a transmembrane segment and an extracellular segment, which are composed of 85, 16 and 194 amino acids, respectively. Research has demonstrated that RPSA, as a type II transmembrane receptor, is a key node of a variety of signaling pathways, involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis, play an important role in the development of a variety of tumorigenesis, with a correlation between its upregulation in cancer cells and its invasive and metastatic phenotypes. Our previous review of data revealed that m5C methylation modification of the CDS of RPSA was present.
The CRISPR/Cas13 system is an acquired immune system that bacteria and archaea have evolved to protect against foreign virus or plasmid invasion. In the CRISPR/Cas13 system, after the crRNA forms a complex with the Cas13 protein, the Cas13 protein is activated, and can target and cleave the RNA, so that the RNA is subjected to fragmentation damage. Cas13 has two catalytic active centers, loses endonuclease activity after mutation, can only be combined with RNA, cannot cut the RNA, so that endogenous RNA can be identified through a dCasRx technology, and the method can be used for targeted RNA tracing.
