Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a recombinant DNA molecule for encoding coronavirus antigen, a DNA vaccine and application thereof.
Background
Coronaviruses belong to the family Coronaviridae (Coronaviridae), including four genera of alpha-coronavirus, beta-coronavirus, gamma-coronavirus and delta-coronavirus, novel coronaviruses (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2) belong to coronaviruses of the beta genus, are mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, and can also cause pneumonia (Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia, NCP) through contact transmission, which is commonly susceptible to the population.
Currently, the world health organization is largely divided into two classes, mutant strains of interest (VOI) and alarming (VOC) in the classification of new coronavirus mutants. Up to now there are 5 VOC mutants, alpha (Alpha, accession number b.1.1.7), beta (Beta, accession number b.1.351), gamma (Gamma, accession number p.1), delta (Delta, accession number b.1.617.2) and omicker (Omicron, accession number b.1.1.529) variants, respectively; the 8 VOI mutants were, respectively, epothilone (ep silon, accession No. b.1.427/429), zeta (Zeta, accession No. p.2), sita (Theta, accession No. P.3), eta (Eta, accession No. b.1.525), about tower (Iota, accession No. b.1.526), kappa (Kappa, accession No. b.1.617.1), lambda (Lambda, accession No. c.37), and muu (Mu, accession No. b.1.621). Wherein the amikatone variant has 15 mutation sites in the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) due to the presence of more than 30 mutations in the major protective antigen Spike segment, 11 of which are in the Receptor Binding Motif (RBM) region, including three mutations that occur in beta and gamma mutants: 417 484, and 501, wherein N501Y is also present in the alpha mutant. Most of the RBD antibodies bind to RBM regions, and when the RBM regions are mutated, the antibodies bound to these regions are easily affected and escape. It is worth mentioning that another 4 mutation sites not in the RBM region are distributed at the interaction interface of S monomers, which may affect the stability of trimer. In addition, of the 15 mutations, 9 sites were not conserved between SARS-CoV-2S and SARS-CoV S, and the mutation occurred in the non-conserved region. While the mutation sites of the amino-terminal domain (NTD) are concentrated around: A67V/Del69-70, T95I, G142D/Del143-145, del211/L212I, which are structurally concentrated on the NTD surface and are also common recognition sites of novel crown NTD antibodies; thus, simultaneous mutation of these sites also affects the affinity and neutralizing activity of the NTD antibodies. Based on the existing knowledge of mutation sites, the variant breaks through the protection of most of neutralizing antibodies, and part of previous data shows that the variant reduces the neutralizing antibodies of the novel crown vaccine by about 40 times compared with the wild type, and based on various frequent variants and the appearance of super transmissible Omikovia, the development of a broad-spectrum vaccine which is 'in a non-allergic manner' is an effective means for coping with the frequent variants.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.

Example 1: optimized screening of nucleic acid encoding S protein RBD region protein
In order to increase the protein expression of a target protein in a host cell, the nucleic acid sequence of the target gene needs to be optimized, and the general principle of nucleic acid sequence optimization is as follows: (1) Optimizing degenerate codons according to the preference of the host cell for nucleic acid codons, so that the optimized sequence contains more nucleic acid codons which are favorable for the host cell to recognize; (2) Further optimizing the GC content in the nucleic acid sequence on the basis of codon preference optimization, so that the sequence with optimized GC content can express more target proteins; (3) Optimizing the nucleic acid sequence to enable the nucleic acid sequence to transcribe more stable mRNA, and facilitating translation of target protein; (4) Changing the codon frequency of host preference, and increasing CAI index (codon adaptation index). The invention adjusts the GC content in the nucleotide sequence by optimizing the nucleotide sequence of the RBD region of the SARS-CoV S protein and the nucleotide sequence of the RBD region of the S protein of the novel SARS-CoV-2Beta mutant strain; simultaneously, the codon frequency of host preference is changed, and the CAI (codon adaptation index) index is improved; the free energy of the formed RNA secondary structure is reduced, the proportion of the Negative CIS element is reduced, the proportion of the repeated sequence in the sequence is reduced, in addition, the optimization of the signal peptide is carried out, and the specific algorithm of the company formed by the experiences of the inventor in the field for years is combined, so that the expression quantity of the RNA can be further improved, the optimized nucleotide sequence is obtained, and the RNA vaccine is prepared.
The optimization process comprises the following steps: the nucleotide sequence (AY 278488, genBank) of the RBD region of the wild SARS-CoV S protein before optimization is selected to obtain the nucleotide sequence shown as seq_3 according to the optimization strategy of the invention, the nucleotide sequence (EPI_ISL_860630, GISAID) of the RBD region of the S protein of the wild SARS-CoV-2Beta mutant strain before optimization is selected to obtain the nucleotide sequence shown as seq_4 according to the optimization strategy of the invention, the nucleotide sequence of the coding signal peptide shown as seq_7 is added at the front end N end of the seq_3 and the TGATAA stop codon is added at the tail end C end of the seq_4, the nucleotide sequence shown as seq_5 is finally obtained, and the nucleotide sequence shown as seq_9 is finally obtained by adopting the conventional commercialized database (Integrated DNA Technologies, IDT) optimization strategy. Scoring the nucleotide sequence of the seq_9 obtained by the optimization of the wild sequence before optimization and the seq_5 after optimization and conventional commercialization; in terms of optimizing and increasing expression of DNA sequences, key indexes of optimizing effect and DNA optimization are as follows: codon optimisation is indexed positively, GC content positively, negatively with the number of negative regulatory elements. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the optimization strategy adopted by the invention is found to have obvious improvement on key indexes compared with the conventional commercial optimization strategy, and can be predicted to increase the expression efficiency of the optimized genes.
The pre-optimized wild sequence, the optimized seq_5 of the invention and the 3 nucleotide sequences of the seq_9 obtained from the conventional commercial database are respectively transformed and constructed into a pVAX1 vector (ThermoFisher, cat# V26020) to obtain 3 plasmid DNAs, namely pSARS-Beta Dimer-wild, pSARS-Beta Dimer and pSARS-Beta Dimer, which are conventionally optimized. 3 plasmids are respectively transfected into HEK293T cells for 48 hours, RNA is extracted, and the transcription level of plasmid DNA obtained in different optimization modes is identified by adopting a qPCR method. As shown in FIG. 4, the optimized DNA sequence of the invention can be increased by more than 100 times compared with the wild sequence before the optimization in RNA transcription level, and can be increased by more than 2 times compared with the conventional optimized molecules in the commercial database in RNA transcription level, so that the optimized nucleic acid molecules of the invention are better than the conventional commercial database. The improvement of the transcription level of the DNA vaccine can improve the protein expression quantity, so that the immune effect of the DNA vaccine is improved, the sequence obtained by the design of the invention is obviously improved in the transcription level, and the protein expression quantity is obviously improved, so that the obvious and better immune effect is obtained.
When designing and optimizing nucleotide sequences, firstly, the serial design of nucleic acid sequences is considered by adopting the coronavirus of beta genus, including severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and the combined receptor when the MERS-CoV infects a host is CD26 (DPP 4), and the combined receptor of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is ACE2, when the structural difference of the receptor is predicted from virology and immunology, the immune effect on the novel coronavirus is expected to be weaker, so that the RBD serial design of S proteins of the SARS-CoV and the SARS-CoV-2 is considered, and the serial strategy of different protein domains is considered to influence the exposure degree of antigen domains, and the more complete corresponding antibody response spectrum excited by the antigen domains is considered, and the immune effect is better. Therefore, the serial sequence of the SARS-CoV S protein RBD region (SARS RBD) and the new SARS-CoV-2Beta mutant strain S protein RBD region (Beta RBD) is analyzed by biological informatics means such as artificial intelligence combined protein structure analysis; as shown in FIG. 5, the analysis result shows that the serial sequence of SARS-Beta RBD (A diagram) is compared with the serial sequence of Beta-SARS RBD (B diagram) so that the two antigen domains of SARS RBD and Beta RBD are far away from each other and the corresponding domains can be fully exposed, therefore, the serial strategy of SARS-Beta RBD in the invention has better immune effect.

Conclusion: the IFN-. Gamma.ELISPot results are shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, and the coronavirus broad-spectrum candidate DNA vaccine pSARS-Beta Dimer and the novel coronavirus wild-strain candidate DNA vaccine pWT were effective in inducing high levels of antigen-specific IFN-. Gamma.responses on day 10 after booster immunization. In the ELISPOT test, the novel coronal wild type SARS-CoV-2RBD protein is adopted as the in vitro stimulating peptide, and the conditions are favorable for the novel coronal wild type nucleic acid vaccine pWT, however, the coronal virus broad-spectrum candidate DNA vaccine pSARS-Beta Dimer provided by the invention also has remarkable technical effects and is better than the novel coronal wild strain candidate DNA vaccine pWT, and as mentioned above, pWT is a pre-product aiming at the novel coronal wild strain and having excellent immune effects, thereby more demonstrating that the pSARS-Beta Dimer DNA vaccine provided by the invention has better immunogenicity and broad spectrum.
