Description

Protein system for rapidly screening binding with decoy RNA, method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a protein system for rapidly screening binding with decoy RNA, a method and application thereof.
Background
RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) are generally considered as proteins that bind RNA and alter the fate or function of the bound RNA through one or more RNA Binding Domains (RBDs). These RBPs widely control each stage of the RNA lifecycle, including mRNA synthesis and maturation, activation, cleavage, degradation of non-coding RNAs (ncrnas), etc., and thus RNA-protein interactions are increasingly being considered as a key loop in RNA-protein interactions, transcriptome and proteome regulation between viruses/pathogens and host cells. Therefore, the dynamic change of the RBPs in cell functions and disease states is of great importance for researchers to know the physiological functions and disease progression in complex systems, and has great clinical significance for screening effective interfering polypeptide drugs.
In recent years, in order to fully identify these RNA binding proteins and elucidate the dynamic assembly behavior of RBPs, researchers have developed a number of technological means for capturing RNA binding proteins. The more commonly used methods for capturing RNA binding proteins can be mainly divided into a targeting method and an unbiased method, wherein the former method is used for capturing RNA to be studied, and the interaction proteins are pulled down by a series of methods based on AP-MS or APEX; the latter is based on the inherent properties of the nucleic acid-protein complex. Although a series of research techniques have been developed, there are more or less insufficient factors in either technique. Two important problems derived from this: first, how much does the in vitro identified RNA-protein interactions reflect in vivo? Second, do there interaction mean there is a function? In view of these problems, there is still a need to further develop new research techniques for RNA-protein interactions. In addition, false positive signals, high sample consumption, strong background interference and high cost are main defects in the prior art.

When the RNA to be selected in the RNase-RNA to be selected binding protein fusion expression vector specifically recognizes the decoy RNA, the RNase activity in the fusion expression vector damages the hybrid RNA of induced expression, so that the suicide gene of induced expression is reduced, and the cell is alive, otherwise, the cell dies, and the gene information combined with the decoy RNA can be known by detecting the information of the fusion expression vector of the living cell, so that the RBP gene sequence is obtained, and the rapid screening is realized.
Based on the above system, the embodiment provides a method for rapidly screening RNA binding proteins, which comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Construction of inducible expression suicide Gene-bait vector
Any gene which is coded by the gene and can cause cytotoxicity to cause cell death is selected as a suicide gene, the suicide gene related in the embodiment is a protein sequence of Saporin (Saporin) (shown as SEQ ID NO. 2), and therefore, the used parent vector for inducing suicide gene-bait is the vector pLVX-TetOne-mCherry-2A-SAP2-MCS-Puro obtained in the embodiment 2; synthesizing a decoy RNA sequence of interest by RT-PCR or chemical synthesis; the bait RNA sequence is led into the multiple cloning site of the mother vector pLVX-TetOne-mCherry-2A-SAP2-MCS-Puro by the conventional genetic engineering technology to form a slow virus expression vector, namely the induction expression suicide gene-bait vector.
The decoy RNA of interest is a fixed sequence, corresponding to a fixed subject, and the method involves screening for proteins or polypeptides that bind to the RNA.
(2) Construction of an RNase-alternative RNA binding protein fusion expression vector

Steady state expression cell lines induce suicide gene expression by adding exogenous compounds such as tetracycline (tetracycline) or its derivative doxycycline (doxycycline Dox) at different concentrations, depending on the inducing agent used, a systematic concentration attempt is required until the lowest concentration that kills all cells is found.
The establishment of the steady-state expression cell strain for inducing suicide gene expression is to infect eukaryotic cells 293 in a slow virus form through the suicide gene-bait vector, select single cell clone and expand and reproduce to obtain the steady-state expression cell strain; the concentration of the inducing agent is confirmed by adding a medium containing a series of concentrations of the inducing agent and then observing the lowest concentration that can cause all cell death, and it is necessary to determine the concentration of the inducing agent according to the specific vector since the inserted bait sequence may affect the protein expression level.
(4) Infecting the cells obtained in the step (3) by using an RNase-alternative RNA binding protein fusion expression vector, adding an induction reagent to kill the cells incapable of targeted cleavage of the suicide gene, wherein the surviving cells contain a vRBD sequence, and the method comprises the following steps of:
co-transfecting the RNase-candidate RNA binding protein fusion expression vector obtained in the step (2) with psPAX2 and pMD2.G in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 into 293T cells, packaging the cells into lentiviruses, and then infecting the steady-state expression cells obtained in the step (3) by a plurality of 1 s, wherein the amount of the infected cells is determined according to the reservoir capacity of the constructed RNase-candidate RNA binding protein fusion expression vector, and if the RNase-candidate RNA binding protein fusion expression vector contains n mixtures, the number of the cells to be infected is not less than 2 n. 3 days after infection with the virus, the cells obtained may contain proteins with the target RNA cells by screening with the lowest concentration that kills all cells obtained in step (3) until the cells remain viable under the screening pressure.
(5) The vRBP gene sequence is obtained through DNA recovery and sequencing, and the screening is completed, specifically as follows:
extracting the genomic DNA of the cells obtained in the step (4), and then designing the following pair of primers by using the sequences on two sides of the multiple cloning site on the RNase-candidate RNA binding protein fusion expression vector obtained in the step (2):
SEQ-F(SEQ ID NO.9):CTGCGTAAGAAGCCACTCAC;
SEQ-R(SEQ ID NO.10):AGCGATCGCAGATCCTTCGC;
