Description

Pilot editing system and gene editing method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gene editing, and particularly relates to a pilot editing system and a gene editing method.
Background
At present, a series of gene editing tools based on CRISPR-Cas system derivation bring great hope for realizing accurate editing of genome. The recent advent of Prime Editing (PE) represents a breakthrough in a very advanced gene Editing technology that can introduce various types of base mutations and small fragment insertions, deletions and substitutions into the genome while avoiding double strand breaks in DNA (Double Stand Break, DSB).
The leader editing system consists of a PE protein expressed by fusion of Cas9 nickase and reverse transcriptase and a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) with template and leader, wherein the pegRNA consists of 3 parts including single-guide RNA (sgRNA), primer binding site (Prime Binding Site, PBS) and reverse transcription template with editing information (Reverse Transcription template, RT template). The editing efficiency of the first generation PE1 and the second generation PE2 at the target site is limited, and finally, researchers construct PE3/PE3b, and the editing efficiency is further improved by coexpression of a nick-sgRNA targeting a complementary DNA single strand and causing a nick, and by utilizing a cell endogenous repair mechanism, the proportion of repair with a reverse transcription strand as a template is improved.
Compared with the previous gene editing system, the pilot editing function is stronger, the safety is higher, and the method has been widely applied to genome editing of rice, wheat, zebra fish, mouse embryo and other species. It is worth noting that one important issue with lead editing systems is the limited editing efficiency. Especially, when inserting, deleting and replacing editing is carried out on sequences with the length of tens of bp, the editing efficiency is very low, and the application of the PE3 system is further limited because two gRNAs are required to act together to realize effective editing.
Recently, a series of work optimized for PE systems has improved editing efficiency to some extent, for example, anzalone et al (Programmable deletion, replacement, integration and inversion of large DNA sequences with twin prime editing Nature Biotechnology, doi.org/10.1038/s 41587-021-01133-w) uses a strategy of double pegRNA, improving efficiency of small fragment editing, but greatly increasing difficulty in PE system design and complexity of the system itself, increasing difficulty in application thereof. Another study reported that constructing a lead editing system with nuclease active Cas9 by Adikusuma et al (Optimized nickase-and nucleic-based prime editing in human and mouse cells, nucleic Acids Research, doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkab 792) is free of dependency on nick-sgRNA, but results in a large amount of non-precise editing, and the precise editing efficiency is low.
Nevertheless, editing efficiency for PE is still suboptimal at most of the genomic sites tested, and editing of small fragments is still a major difficulty for PE editing. In addition, the dependence of the PE system on two gRNAs was not improved.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention provides development and application of a pilot editing system.
A leader editing system comprising a leader editor having nuclease activity, a pegRNA comprising a template of homologous sequence, and a protein having non-homologous end repair inhibitory properties. According to the invention, by introducing the protein with non-homologous end repair inhibition, non-precise editing can be remarkably reduced and the purity of an editing product can be improved by inhibiting non-homologous end repair.
Preferably, the non-homologous end repair inhibitory protein is a protein capable of specifically targeting the 53BP1 protein and inhibiting 53BP1 protein activity.
Further preferred, the non-homologous end repair inhibitory protein is a ubiquitinated variant G08 or a mutant of ubiquitinated variant G08 having an I44A mutation, wherein the amino acid sequence of ubiquitinated variant G08 is as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.
Preferably, the leader editor with nuclease activity comprises a fusion expressed nuclease active Cas9 protein and a reverse transcriptase protein. Further preferably, the amino acid sequence of the leader editor with nuclease activity is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.
Preferably, the pegRNA containing the homologous sequence template comprises a reverse transcription template with editing information, and the sequence length of the reverse transcription template homologous to the genome sequence in the gene editing object is 15-25 bp. Most preferably 20bp. The invention optimizes the length of the homologous sequence depending on repair, and the efficiency comparison shows that the effect is better at 15-25 bp, and the optimal length is 20bp.
The invention also provides a recombinant expression sequence for leading editing, which is used for expressing the leading editing system, and the recombinant expression system comprises:
(1) A first gene sequence for expressing a leader editor having nuclease activity,
(2) A second gene sequence for expressing a protein having non-homologous end repair inhibitory properties,
(3) A third gene sequence for expressing a pegRNA comprising a homologous sequence template.
Preferably, the first gene sequence and the second gene sequence are expressed using the same expression vector, and the first gene sequence and the second gene sequence are linked by a self-cleaving short peptide encoding gene sequence, such that the leader editor having nuclease activity and the protein having non-homologous end repair inhibitory properties are fusion expressed by the self-cleaving short peptide. The self-cleaving short peptide will automatically cleave upon expression of the fusion protein, becoming two proteins. The two proteins were separately de-expressed, requiring the addition of transfection with one expression vector, and no difference was seen in the results. The advantage is that there is one less expression vector, which is more compact and convenient
The invention also provides a gene editing method, which uses the recombinant expression sequence to design pegRNA according to the sequence to be subjected to gene editing in the gene editing object to obtain a third gene sequence, and the first gene sequence, the second gene sequence and the third gene sequence are all introduced into the gene editing object to carry out gene editing to obtain a product after gene editing.
The types of gene editing of the invention can be various base editing, small fragment insertion, deletion, substitution editing, combined editing and conditional or tissue specific editing.
The gene editing object is eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells. Such as human cells or other mammalian cells. Preferably, the gene editing object is a human embryonic kidney cell, a human cervical cancer cell or a human osteosarcoma cell, such as a HEK293T cell, a Hela cell or a U2OS cell.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the present invention uses a nuclease leader editor to bind the ubiquitinated variants and by optimizing the pegRNA a new leader editing tool uPEn is obtained that is more efficient and requires only one pegRNA. Compared with the traditional lead editing tool, the lead editor with nuclease activity does not need additional nick-sgRNA to generate a notch to improve editing efficiency, so that a PE system becomes simpler, meanwhile, double-strand cutting and single-strand cutting are activated in a different repair mode, the inhibition of MMR on the traditional PE can be eliminated, and the total editing efficiency is increased but the editing purity is reduced. Therefore, we introduced a non-homologous end repair inhibitory protein-ubiquitinated variant based on the nuclease leader editor by inhibiting non-homologous end repair. The result shows that the addition of the ubiquitinated variant obviously reduces the inaccurate editing and improves the purity of the editing product; meanwhile, the length of the homologous sequence depended on restoration is optimized, and the optimal length, namely the length of the homologous sequence of 20bp, is found through efficiency comparison; the combination of the two optimization modes further improves the accurate editing efficiency. Based on the repair mode of homology dependence, the uPEn can realize efficient small fragment insertion, deletion and replacement editing, and can also realize efficient editing at sites which are difficult to edit by the traditional lead editor, which is beneficial to further expanding the practicability of the lead editing tool.

Construction of the pegRNA plasmid was performed as in example 2. The constructed pegRNA sequence is a spacer sequence, a scaffold structural sequence and a 3' extension sequence (RT sequence) from the 5' end to the 3' end.
Step two: cell culture transfection and identification
HEK293T cells (purchased from ATCC) were inoculated in DMEM high sugar broth (HyClone, SH30022.01B) supplemented with 10% fbs, which contained 1%Penicillin Streptomycin (v/v) (Gibco).

Mu.l of Lipofectamine2000 transfection reagent (Thermo, 11668019) was mixed into 50. Mu.l of Opti-MEM medium and mixed well and allowed to stand for 5 minutes. The Opti-MEM mixed with the plasmid was added to the Opti-MEM mixed with Lipofectamine2000, and the mixture was stirred and stirred at a slow speed and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. Opti-MEM mixed with plasmid and Lipofectamine2000 was added to each 24-well plate. DMEM with 10% fbs was used 6 hours after transfection.

The amplified product was purified using a PCR clean kit. Editing efficiency was accurately assessed by second generation high throughput sequencing. The PCR products to be sequenced are sent to Northlasiogenic biotechnology Co., ltd or Annoeuda Gene technology Co., ltd for amplicon pool-building sequencing. After cleardata is obtained, read lengths of 2×250bp are spliced using an AdapterRemoval, then all processed read lengths are aligned to the target sequence using the bwa mem algorithm, and the results are ranked using samtools alignment. Finally, the python program is written to calculate the editing efficiency and indel.
Step three: analysis of results
The editing of 4 sites by uPEn on HEK293T cells is shown in figure 2. The editing efficiency of uPEn on HEK293T cells is far higher than that of PEn, and the level of doubling indels is also obviously reduced, which proves that the editing efficiency is obviously improved by inhibiting non-homologous end repair through ubiquitinated variants, and meanwhile, the dependence on nick-sgRNA is also eliminated.
Example 4: the optimized pegRNA improves the editing efficiency
Step one: construction of pegRNA plasmid
3 human endogenous genes were selected: EMX1, FAM17A, PRNP, designed and edited pegRNA, these pegRNA contains 0bp, 5bp, 10bp, 15bp, 20bp, 25bp homologous sequences respectively. The oligos used are shown in the sequence table SEQ ID NO:23-64. Construction of the pegRNA plasmid was performed as in example 2.
Step two: cell culture transfection and identification
HEK293T cells (purchased from ATCC) were cultured, transfected and identified as per step two in example 3.
Step three: analysis of results
The correlation results are shown in fig. 3A and 3B. On all three editing sites, with the continuous increase of the length of the homologous region, the editing efficiency of uPEn is also continuously increased, when the homologous sequence reaches 15bp, the editing efficiency reaches the maximum value under the three lengths of HR15, HR20 and HR25, and the tendency of the editing efficiency is not increased, and by comprehensive comparison, we determine that the pegRNA containing the length of the homologous sequence of 20bp is the optimal pegRNA of the uPEn system, and then the pegRNA is the optimal design principle of the pegRNA.
Example 5: small fragment insertion, deletion and substitution editing using uPEn in HEK293T cells

Construction of the gRNA plasmid was performed as in example 2. Furthermore, pegRNA and corresponding nick-sgRNA mediating insertion, deletion and substitution were designed according to the design principle of FIG. 4, respectively. The oligos used by the nick-sgRNA are shown in the sequence listing SEQ ID NO:97-104. The Oligo was first annealed and the annealed product was ligated into pGL3-U6-sgRNA-mCherry vector linearized with BsaI-HF. The system is shown in Table 5 below and incubated at 16℃for 1h.
