Description

High activity Tn5 transposase mutant
The application is a divisional application with the application number of 202210500786.8 and the application date of 2022, 5 and 10 days, and the invention name of a method for rapidly identifying Tn5 transposase activity.
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-activity Tn5 transposase mutant, and belongs to the technical field of bioengineering.
Background
Tn5 transposase has now been applied as an important tool to high throughput sequencing technology, but the activity assay of transposase limits high throughput optimized screening and stable production of enzymes. The current activity assays for transposases mainly include three types: the first is based on the principle that transposase mediates insertion of reporter genes (resistance genes or toxic proteins) into the genome, and finally, the relative activity of transposase is indirectly determined through plate monoclonal counting, and the larger the difference between the cloning numbers of an experimental group and a control group is, the stronger the activity of transposase is. Although the method comprehensively considers two processes of shearing and pasting during transposition, the final monoclonal quantity, namely the determination of the enzyme activity, is influenced by the conversion rate and the cell state, and the determination result has larger error. In addition, the method is difficult to realize flux screening test due to large workload and complicated steps.
The second method relies on transposase-mediated dissociation of the quenching group from the fluorescent group, and determines the enzyme activity by the relative intensity of the fluorescent signal. Compared with the first method, the method can greatly reduce measurement errors and obtain enzyme activity results with better repeatability, but specific reagents and instruments are needed in the measurement process. And because the activity is tested in vitro, the expressed transposase needs to be purified, and the method is not suitable for screening large-scale mutant libraries and enzyme activity testing.
The third method directly compares the quality of library construction of different transposases, and indicates the intensity of enzyme activity according to the coverage of the library; or evaluating the activity of the novel transposase mutant based on the concentration of the PCR product of the adapter primer. The activity measured by the method can be directly related to downstream application, but the time and material cost for measuring the enzyme activity are extremely high, and particularly, the cost performance is relatively low when a large amount of screening work is carried out. Moreover, the library-building reaction requires higher purity enzymes, and the purification process is more demanding, and is also not suitable for high throughput screening.
Therefore, it is urgent to develop a rapid and accurate relative quantitative method of enzyme activity.

The method for rapidly identifying the activity of the Tn5 transposase comprises the steps of firstly constructing a reporter gene expression plasmid, and when the reporter gene expression plasmid and the expression plasmid of the Tn5 transposase are transformed into escherichia coli cells together, the expressed Tn5 transposase recognizes specific sequences at two sides of a promoter at the front part of the reporter gene, and the promoter is stripped from the plasmid through transposition reaction. Reporter gene expression is then induced and Tn5 transposase activity is ultimately determined by testing the level of reporter gene expression and comparing it to a control level. The higher the transposase activity, the lower the reporter plasmid gene expression level.

The whole activity determination process only needs 30-60min, so that the enzyme activity determination time is greatly shortened and the test flux is greatly improved.
Compared with wild type Tn5 transposase, the high-activity Tn5 transposase mutant has obviously improved activity.
