In particular, it is necessary to diagnose pathogen infection quickly and accurately in order to prevent the early coping and disease progression and spread to diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria infection. If pathogens can be diagnosed during incubation before the symptoms appear after infection, infection can be effectively prevented and the damage can be prevented.

However, the methods developed so far have a disadvantage in that preparation of a sample to extract a target gene is difficult in order to detect a gene to be identified, and it takes much time to cultivate the cell. Furthermore, there is a problem that abuse of drugs is constantly carried out due to lack of rapid diagnosis method and lack of accuracy. Therefore, there is still a need for rapid and accurate gene detection.

Hereinafter, the constitution and effects of the present invention will be described in more detail through examples. The following examples are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Example  One: Cas9  or dCas9 and sgRNA  The target specificity of the complex

Example  1-1: Cas9 - sgRNA  Complex

100 ng of sgRNA of # 1539 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and # 1545 (SEQ ID NO: 2) were each reacted with 100 ng of mecA gene, 238.5 ng of Cas9 protein and 10X reaction buffer overnight at 37 ° C. Thereafter, the mecA gene was cleaved by electrophoresis using 1.2% agarose gel. The sequence of the sgRNA gene used in the reaction is shown in Table 1 below.

[Table 1]

Figure pat00001

As a result, it was confirmed that the mecA gene was retained in the group (NC) not treated with sgRNA of # 1539 or # 1545, whereas the mecA gene was cleaved in the group treated with sgRNA (FIG. This suggests that sgRNA and Cas9 complex sgRNA bind to the target gene and Cas9 can cleave the target gene.

Example  1-2: sgRNA / dCas9  Complex

100 ng of sgRNA of # 1539 and # 1545 were reacted with 100 ng of mecA gene, 1.5 ug of dCas9 protein and 10X reaction buffer, respectively, at 37 캜 for 1.5 hours. Thereafter, electrophoresis was performed using 0.8% agarose gel to confirm whether mecA shifts the mecA gene.

As a result, it was confirmed that the mecA gene was not changed in the group (NC) treated with sgRNA of # 1539 or # 1545, while the mecA gene was found to be in the mobile phase in the group treated with sgRNA 1b). This suggests that the sgRNA / dCas9 complex can bind to the target gene by binding to the target gene.

Example  2: Specific detection of target gene

sgRNA / dCas9 complex and SYBR green I were used to confirm the ability to specifically detect the target gene.

Specifically, MRSA (# 78, # 81, # 82, and # 84; # are patient numbers) or MSSA (# 85, # 88, # 94, and ATCC 25923; #, obtained from skin lesion samples of dysmenorrhea patients of Yonsei University) Patient number), and sgRNA (# 1539) and dCas9 protein of SEQ ID NO: 1 capable of complementary binding to the gene of MRSA were reacted, respectively. Separation of the MRSA or MSSA gene was performed using a DNA purification kit (Wizard® Genomic DNA purification Kin, Promega). Then, the dCas9 protein was separated from Ni-NTA magnetic beads using the His tag of dCas9 protein, and the eluted samples were treated with SYBR green I. After incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes, fluorescence signals and intensities were observed with a microplate machine.

As a result, it was confirmed that a fluorescent signal was hardly detected in MSSA gene, whereas a very strong fluorescence signal was detected in MRSA gene (FIG. 2). Thus, it was found that the target gene could be specifically detected by using the complex of sgRNA / dCas9 and SYBR green I.

Example  3: fluorescence intensity according to the concentration of the target gene

DNA was isolated from # 78 MRSA using a DNA purification kit (Wizard® Genomic DNA purification Kin, Promega). Various amounts of isolated DNA ranging from 0 to 1000 ng were reacted with the dCas9 / sgRNA complex. The samples were eluted with Ni-NTA magnetic beads and treated with SYBR green I. Fluorescence intensity was observed at 494 nm.

As a result, fluorescence signals were observed even when the gene was treated at a very low concentration, and fluorescence signals of high intensity were observed as the amount of the treated MRSA gene was increased (FIG. 3). This indicates that the target gene can be detected with only a small amount of genes.

Example  4: MRSA's Melt  Identification of the target gene used

Unlike in Example 3, the detection of the target gene was confirmed without purification of the gene in the MRSA lysate.

Specifically, the MRSA of # 78, # 81, # 82 or # 84 or the MSSA of # 85, # 88, # 94 and ATCC25923 were cultured so that the optical density was 1.0 and then lysozyme and resource After lysostaphin was added and incubated at 37 ° C for 1 hour, a sample of cell lysate was prepared without further purification. The sample was reacted with dCas9 / sgRNA conjugate, and the reaction was separated and eluted with Ni-NTA magnetic beads. The sample was treated with SYBR green I. After incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes, fluorescence signals and intensities were observed with a microplate machine.

As a result, it was confirmed that a fluorescence signal exhibited only in the group reacted with the cell lysate sample of MRSA as in the result of Example 2 (FIG. 4). This suggests that the use of the dCas9 / sgRNA complex can specifically detect the target gene without performing a separate gene purification step.

Example  5: MRSA's Melt  Used Of LOD  Measure

MRSA with various optical densities was reacted with lysozyme and lysostaphin at 37 ° C for 1 hour, and a sample of cell lysate was prepared without further purification. The sample was reacted with dCas9 / sgRNA conjugate, and the reaction was separated and eluted with Ni-NTA magnetic beads. The sample was treated with SYBR green I. The fluorescence signal was observed and LOD was measured in terms of optical density corresponding to cfu / mL. As a result, it was confirmed that LOD (limit of detection) was 10 cfu / mL (FIG. 5).

Example  6: Microarray  Confirmation of target gene detection through

An epoxide functional glass slide was reacted with 0.01 M AB-NTA free fatty acid (0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0) at room temperature (RT) overnight, washed with ethanol and dried. Then, the reaction was carried out overnight with 0.1 M nickel chloride (in 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0) at room temperature (RT), washed with ethanol and dried to obtain a Ni- NTA functional glass slide) was prepared.

The gene purified from MRSA or MSSA was reacted with dCas9 / sgRNA complex at 37 ° C for 2 hours to prepare a dCas9 / sgRNA / gene complex. The prepared composite sample was spun onto the prepared slide, allowed to react at room temperature (RT) for 1 hour, and then washed three times. Slides were treated with 1X SYBR green I, imaged with ChemiDoc, and analyzed for fluorescence signals.

As a result, it was confirmed that no fluorescent signal was detected at the spot where the complex was reacted with the MSSA gene, whereas a high fluorescence signal was detected at the spot where the complex was reacted with the MRSA gene (FIGS. 6A and 6B) . This indicates that the target gene can be specifically detected using the dCas9 / sgRNA complex.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
