- chimeric crRNA and (b) a complex of Cascade constituent protein group and nucleobase converting enzyme are expressed from an expression vector introduced into the cell
- the protein group forms a Cascade complex to form the chimera Present crRNA.
- the Cascade complex specifically recognizes and binds to the target nucleotide sequence in the target double-stranded DNA (eg, genomic DNA), it is targeted by the action of the nucleobase converting enzyme linked to the Cascade constituent proteins.
- Base conversion occurs in the sense strand or antisense strand of the target site (all or part of the target nucleotide sequence or in the vicinity thereof), resulting in a mismatch in the double-stranded DNA (eg, cytidine deaminase such as PmCDA1 or AID
- cytosine on the sense strand or antisense strand of the targeted site is converted to uracil, resulting in a U: G or G: U mismatch).
- This mismatch is not repaired correctly, and the opposite strand base is repaired to pair with the converted strand base (TA or AT in the above example), or replaced with another nucleotide during repair.
- U ⁇ A, G or deletions or insertions of 1 to several tens of bases are introduced to introduce various mutations.
- the modification of the double-stranded DNA of the present invention is not accompanied by DNA strand breaks not only at the targeted site of the selected double-stranded DNA but also at other sites.
- C or G on the opposite strand
- C is 2-5 nucleotides from the 5 'end of the target nucleotide sequence.
- the present inventors have already found that it is preferable to design the target nucleotide sequence so that In the case of the Type II CRISPR-Cas system, the length of the targeting sequence can be appropriately set between 15 to 30 nucleotides, preferably 18 to 25 nucleotides.
- the targeting sequence is a sequence complementary to the target strand of the target nucleotide sequence
- changing the targeting sequence length also changes the target nucleotide sequence length, but 2-5 nucleotides from the 5 ′ end regardless of the nucleotide length.
- the regularity that mutation is easily introduced into C or G at the position of is maintained. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the length of the target nucleotide sequence (targeting sequence that is a complementary strand thereof), the base site where the mutation can be introduced can be shifted.
- the restriction by PAM in the case of SpCas9, NGG
- PAM in the case of SpCas9, NGG
- PAM in the case of E. coli-derived IE subtype, AAG, ATG, AGG, GAG
- the mutation was mainly introduced in the range of 32-44 bases downstream of As described above, the PAM sequence varies depending on the Type I subtype, but all have 2 to 3 nucleotides (for example, CCN for the IA subtype, CC for the IF subtype) and a high degree of freedom.
- the range where mutations are frequently introduced is wider than when using the Type II CRISPR-Cas system.
- the target nucleotide sequence can be set longer if the IA or IB subtype is used.
- the Type I CRISPR-Cas system as a nucleic acid sequence recognition module, mutations can be introduced even at sites where it was difficult to introduce mutations with the Type II CRISPR-Cas system. It can be used complementarily.
- a chimeric crRNA containing a plurality of targeting sequences can be introduced into a host cell.
- creating a sequence recognition module for multiple adjacent target nucleotide sequences and using them simultaneously increases the efficiency of mutagenesis compared to targeting a single nucleotide sequence.
- the inventors have found that it rises. The effect is similar to the case where both of the target nucleotide sequences overlap, and even when they are separated by about 600 bp, mutation induction is realized in the same manner.
- Mutation can be introduced both when the target nucleotide sequence is in the same direction (the target strand is on the same strand) and when the target nucleotide sequence is opposite (the target strand is on each strand of the double-stranded DNA). Can happen. Therefore, even in the present invention using the Type I CRISPR-Cas system, further improvement of the mutagenesis efficiency can be expected by targeting a plurality of nucleotide sequences.
- an expression vector containing DNA encoding the nucleic acid modifying enzyme complex is introduced into the host cell as described above. In order to do so, it is desirable to maintain the expression of the nucleic acid modifying enzyme complex at a certain level or more for a certain period or more. From this point of view, it is certain to introduce an expression vector (plasmid etc.) capable of autonomous replication in the host cell, but since the plasmid etc. are foreign DNA, after successful mutagenesis, It is preferred that it be removed quickly.
- an expression vector plasmid etc.
- the plasmid introduced from the host cell is removed using various plasmid removal methods well known in the art. It is desirable.
- an expression vector that does not have autonomous replication ability in the host cell for example, a replication origin that functions in the host cell and / or a protein necessary for replication
- the gene essential for the survival of the host cell is used as the target gene.
- direct editing has been difficult until now (adverse effects such as impaired growth of the host, destabilization of mutagenesis efficiency, mutation to a site different from the target).
- the nucleobase conversion reaction takes place at a desired time, and the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is temporarily transferred into the host cell only for a period necessary for fixing the modification of the targeted site.
- the time required for the nucleobase conversion reaction to occur and the modification of the targeted site to be fixed varies depending on the type of host cell, culture conditions, etc., but usually 2 to 20 generations are considered necessary.
- the host cell is yeast or bacteria (eg, E. coli)
- a person skilled in the art can appropriately determine a suitable expression induction period based on the doubling time of the host cell under the culture conditions to be used.
- the expression induction period of the nucleic acid encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is extended beyond the above-mentioned "period necessary for fixing the modification of the targeted site" within a range that does not cause a side effect on the host cell. May be.
- a construct comprising DNA encoding the nucleic acid modifying enzyme complex in a form in which the expression period can be controlled. (Expression vector) can be prepared and introduced into a host cell.
- the “form capable of controlling the expression period” include a DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention under the control of an inducible regulatory region.
- the “inducible regulatory region” is not particularly limited.
- microbial cells such as bacteria (eg, Escherichia coli) and yeast
- an operon of a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutation repressor and an operator controlled thereby can be mentioned.
- ts mutation repressor include, but are not limited to, a ts mutant of a cI repressor derived from ⁇ phage.
- ⁇ phage cI repressor In the case of ⁇ phage cI repressor (ts), binding to the operator is suppressed at 30 ° C or lower (eg, 28 ° C), but downstream gene expression is suppressed, but at a high temperature of 37 ° C or higher (eg, 42 ° C), the operator Gene expression is induced to dissociate from. Therefore, a host cell into which DNA encoding a nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex has been introduced is usually cultured at 30 ° C or lower, and the temperature is raised to 37 ° C or higher at an appropriate time for a certain period of time. After the mutation has been introduced into the target gene, the period during which the expression of the target gene is suppressed can be minimized by quickly returning it to 30 ° C.
- thermosensitive mutant protein for example, by mounting a temperature-sensitive mutant of a protein necessary for autonomous replication of the vector on a vector containing a DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention, the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme After the complex is expressed, autonomous replication cannot be performed immediately, and the vector naturally falls off with cell division.
- temperature-sensitive mutant protein include, but are not limited to, a Rep101 ori temperature-sensitive mutant required for pSC101 ori replication (see FIG. 4).
- Rep101 ori acts on pSC101 ori at 30 ° C or lower (eg, 28 ° C) to allow autonomous replication of the plasmid, but at 37 ° C (eg, 42 ° C) it loses its function, and the plasmid Autonomous replication becomes impossible. Therefore, by using together with the cI repressor (ts) of the above-mentioned ⁇ phage, transient expression of the nucleic acid modifying enzyme complex of the present invention and plasmid removal can be performed simultaneously.
- DNA encoding the nucleic acid-modifying enzyme complex of the present invention is converted into an inducible promoter (eg, metallothionein promoter (heavy metal ion). Induction), heat shock protein promoter (induced by heat shock), Tet-ON / Tet-OFF promoter (induced by addition or removal of tetracycline or its derivative), steroid-responsive promoter (induced by steroid hormone or its derivative), etc.

- Induction heat shock protein promoter
- Tet-ON / Tet-OFF promoter induced by addition or removal of tetracycline or its derivative

- Inducible promoters can also be used in prokaryotic cells such as E. coli. Examples of such inducible promoters include, but are not limited to, the lac promoter (induced by IPTG), cspA promoter (induced by cold shock), araBAD promoter (induced by arabinose), and the like.
- the inducible promoter can be used as a vector removal mechanism when higher eukaryotic cells such as animal cells, insect cells, and plant cells are used as host cells. That is, the vector is loaded with a nucleic acid encoding a replication origin that functions in a host cell and a protein necessary for the replication (for example, SV40 ori and large T antigen, oriP and EBNA-1 etc. for animal cells)
- a protein necessary for the replication for example, SV40 ori and large T antigen, oriP and EBNA-1 etc. for animal cells
- the vector can replicate autonomously in the presence of the inducer, but when the inducer is removed, the vector cannot replicate autonomously. (Tet-OFF vectors, on the contrary, cannot replicate autonomously by adding tetracycline or doxycycline).
- E. coli competent cells were prepared by a conventional method and transformed with the expression vector prepared in (1) above. After recovery culture (about 2.5 hours) with SOC medium (500 ⁇ l), dilute with 2.5 ml of drug selection medium (LB + 10 ⁇ g / ml chloramphenicol (Cm)), and overnight at 28 ° C., the non-induction temperature. Cultured. Thereafter, the protein was diluted 20-fold with the same medium and cultured with shaking at 37 ° C. for about 4 hours to induce expression.
- a 10-fold dilution series of the culture broth was prepared and selected with a Cm-containing or non-mutated mutant selection plate medium (LB + 25 ⁇ g / ml rifampicin (Rif)) to obtain Rif-resistant colonies.
- the target colony in the rpoB gene was amplified from the obtained colonies by PCR, and mutations were identified by Sanger sequencing. The results are shown in FIGS. 5-1 and 5-2.
- the target nucleotide sequence was set to 32 nucleotides, cytosine present 32 to 44 bases downstream from the PAM sequence was mainly converted.

Abstract
Description
例えば、ジンクフィンガーDNA結合ドメインと非特異的なDNA切断ドメインとを連結した、ジンクフィンガーヌクレアーゼ(ZFN)を用い、宿主の植物細胞または昆虫細胞にDNA中の標的遺伝子座において組換えを行う方法(特許文献1)、植物病原菌キサントモナス属が有するDNA結合モジュールである転写活性化因子様(TAL)エフェクターと、DNAエンドヌクレアーゼとを連結したTALENを用いて、特定のヌクレオチド配列内又はそれに隣接する部位で、標的遺伝子を切断・修飾する方法(特許文献2)、あるいは、真正細菌や古細菌が持つ獲得免疫システムで機能するDNA配列CRISPR(Clustered Regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)と、CRISPRとともに重要な働きを持つヌクレアーゼCas(CRISPR-associated)タンパク質ファミリーとを組み合わせたCRISPR-Cas9システムを利用する方法(特許文献3)などが報告されている。さらには、35個のアミノ酸からなり1個の核酸塩基を認識するPPRモチーフの連続によって、特定のヌクレオチド配列を認識するように構成されたPPRタンパク質と、ヌクレアーゼとを連結した人工ヌクレアーゼを用い、該特定配列の近傍で標的遺伝子を切断する方法(特許文献4)も報告されている。
しかしながら、Type II CRISPR-Casシステムでは、標的ヌクレオチド配列に相補的なcrRNAとCas9をリクルートするためのtrans-acting crRNA(tracrRNA)とのキメラRNAと、Cas9とのみから核酸配列認識モジュールを構成することができたが、例えば、大腸菌が有するType I-E CRISPR-Casシステムでは、標的ヌクレオチド配列とPAM配列の認識を、CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defence(Cascade)と呼ばれる、crRNAを提示した5種類のCasタンパク質(CasA、CasB、CasC、CasD及びCasE)とからなる複雑なリボヌクレオプロテイン複合体が担っており、これにヌクレアーゼ及びヘリカーゼ活性を有するCas3が加わって、Type II CRISPR-CasシステムにおけるCas9と同様のDNA認識・切断機能を発揮している(図1参照)。このような複雑な構成のため、Type I CRISPR-Casシステムは、人工ヌクレアーゼとしてのゲノム編集技術にさえも、未だほとんど利用されていない。
本発明者らは、これらの知見に基づいてさらに研究を重ねた結果、本発明を完成するに至った。

[9]二本鎖DNA中の標的ヌクレオチド配列が、宿主細胞にとって必須の遺伝子内にあることを特徴とする、上記[8]記載の方法。
[10]宿主細胞内の二本鎖DNAの標的化された部位を改変するための核酸改変酵素複合体であって、
(a) 選択された二本鎖DNA中の標的ヌクレオチド配列の標的鎖に相補的な配列を含むcrRNAと、
(b) Cascadeを構成するタンパク質群と、該タンパク質群のいずれかのタンパク質と複合体を形成した核酸塩基変換酵素とを、
含有してなる、核酸改変酵素複合体。
[11]上記[10]記載の核酸改変酵素複合体をコードするDNA。
核酸配列認識能を有する分子としては、ジンクフィンガー(ZF)モチーフ、TALエフェクター、PPRモチーフ等が知られているが、ZFモチーフは標的ヌクレオチド配列に特異的に結合するZFの作製効率が高くなく、また、結合特異性の高いZFの選別が煩雑なため、実際に機能するZFモチーフを多数作製するのは容易ではない。一方、TALエフェクターやPPRモチーフは、ZFに比べて標的核酸配列認識の自由度は高いが、標的ヌクレオチド配列に応じて巨大なタンパク質をその都度設計し、構築する必要があるので、効率面で問題がある。これに対し、真正細菌や古細菌に広く分布する獲得免疫機構であるCRISPR-Casシステムは、標的ヌクレオチド配列に対して相補的なCRISPR-RNA(crRNA)により目的の二本鎖DNAの配列を認識するので、標的ヌクレオチド配列と特異的にハイブリッド形成し得るオリゴDNAを合成するだけで、任意の配列を標的化することができる。
I-A、I-B及びI-Dサブタイプは古細菌、I-C、I-E及びI-Fサブタイプは真正細菌に相対的に多く分布しており、I-AサブタイプはS. solfataricus、T. tenax等、I-BサブタイプはHaloferax volcanii等、I-CサブタイプはB. halodurans等、I-Eサブタイプは大腸菌等、I-FサブタイプはP. aeruginosa、大腸菌、P. atospeticum等で解析がなされている。
あるいは、上記と同様に、化学合成又はPCR法もしくはGibson Assembly法との組み合わせで、用いる宿主細胞での発現に適したコドン使用を有するDNAとして構築することもできる。
あるいは、Cascade複合体の構成タンパク質をコードするDNAと、核酸塩基変換酵素をコードするDNAに、それぞれ結合ドメイン(例えば、SH3ドメイン、PDZドメイン、GKドメイン、GBドメイン等)もしくはその結合パートナーをコードするDNAを融合させるか、両DNAに分離インテインをコードするDNAを融合させることにより、Cascade構成タンパク質と核酸塩基変換酵素とが宿主細胞内で翻訳された後に複合体を形成できるようにしてもよい。
さらには、核酸塩基変換酵素とCascade構成タンパク質とを、RNA aptamerであるMS2F6、PP7等とそれらとの結合タンパク質によるRNA scaffoldを利用して結合させることもできる。これらの場合も、所望により一方もしくは両方のDNAの適当な位置に、リンカー及び/又は核移行シグナルを連結することができる。
結合ドメイン等を用いて核酸塩基変換酵素とCascade構成タンパク質との複合体を形成させる場合も、同様に、オペロンの末端もしくは内部に結合ドメインもしくはその結合パートナーをコードするDNAを連結し、核酸塩基変換酵素をコードするDNAに結合パートナーもしくは結合ドメインを連結することにより行うことができる。
Type I CRISPR-Casシステムにおける標的ヌクレオチド配列は、サブタイプに固有のPAM配列により制約を受ける。I-Eサブタイプの場合、標的ヌクレオチド配列の非標的鎖の5’上流側に、5’→3’の方向でAAG、ATG、AGG、GAGのいずれかが隣接している必要がある。例えば、I-Eサブタイプにおいて、32ヌクレオチド長のターゲッティング配列を、デアミナーゼと組み合わせて用いた場合、後述の実施例に示すとおり、PAM配列の下流32~44塩基に存在するシトシンで塩基変換が起こり、変異が導入される頻度が高い。
発現ベクターとしては、大腸菌由来のプラスミド(例、pBR322,pBR325,pUC12,pUC13);枯草菌由来のプラスミド(例、pUB110,pTP5,pC194);酵母由来プラスミド(例、pSH19,pSH15);昆虫細胞発現プラスミド(例:pFast-Bac);動物細胞発現プラスミド(例:pA1-11、pXT1、pRc/CMV、pRc/RSV、pcDNAI/Neo);λファージなどのバクテリオファージ;バキュロウイルスなどの昆虫ウイルスベクター(例:BmNPV、AcNPV);レトロウイルス、ワクシニアウイルス、アデノウイルスなどの動物ウイルスベクターなどが用いられる。
プロモーターとしては、遺伝子の発現に用いる宿主に対応して適切なプロモーターであればいかなるものでもよい。DSBを伴う従来法では毒性のために宿主細胞の生存率が著しく低下する場合があるので、誘導プロモーターを使用して誘導開始までに細胞数を増やしておくことが望ましいが、本発明の核酸改変酵素複合体を発現させても十分な細胞増殖が得られるので、構成プロモーターも制限なく使用することができる。

宿主が植物細胞である場合、CaMV35Sプロモーター、CaMV19Sプロモーター、NOSプロモーターなどが好ましい。
尚、キメラcrRNAをコードするDNAは、プロモーターとして、pol III系のプロモーター(例、SNR6、SNR52、SCR1、RPR1、U6、H1プロモーター等)及びターミネーター(例、T6配列)を用いることもできる。

例えば、大腸菌またはバチルス属菌を培養する場合、培養に使用される培地としては液体培地が好ましい。また、培地は、形質転換体の生育に必要な炭素源、窒素源、無機物などを含有することが好ましい。ここで、炭素源としては、例えば、グルコース、デキストリン、可溶性澱粉、ショ糖などが;窒素源としては、例えば、アンモニウム塩類、硝酸塩類、コーンスチープ・リカー、ペプトン、カゼイン、肉エキス、大豆粕、バレイショ抽出液などの無機または有機物質が;無機物としては、例えば、塩化カルシウム、リン酸二水素ナトリウム、塩化マグネシウムなどがそれぞれ挙げられる。また、培地には、酵母エキス、ビタミン類、生長促進因子などを添加してもよい。培地のpHは、好ましくは約5~約8である。
大腸菌を培養する場合の培地としては、例えば、グルコース、カザミノ酸を含むM9培地〔Journal of Experiments in Molecular Genetics, 431-433, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York 1972〕が好ましい。必要により、プロモーターを効率よく働かせるために、例えば、3β-インドリルアクリル酸のような薬剤を培地に添加してもよい。大腸菌の培養は、通常約15~約43℃で行なわれる。必要により、通気や撹拌を行ってもよい。
バチルス属菌の培養は、通常約30~約40℃で行なわれる。必要により、通気や撹拌を行ってもよい。
酵母を培養する場合の培地としては、例えば、バークホールダー(Burkholder)最小培地〔Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,77,4505 (1980)〕や0.5%カザミノ酸を含有するSD培地〔Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,81,5330 (1984)〕などが挙げられる。培地のpHは、好ましくは約5~約8である。培養は、通常約20℃~約35℃で行なわれる。必要に応じて、通気や撹拌を行ってもよい。

植物細胞を培養する培地としては、MS培地、LS培地、B5培地などが用いられる。培地のpHは好ましくは約5~約8である。培養は、通常約20℃~約30℃で行なわれる。必要に応じて通気や撹拌を行ってもよい。
以上のようにして、核酸配列認識モジュール(Type I CRISPR-Cas)と核酸塩基変換酵素との複合体、即ち核酸改変酵素複合体を細胞内で発現させることができる。
尚、本発明の二本鎖DNAの改変では、標的化された部位以外で、該二本鎖DNAの切断が生じることを妨げない。しかしながら、本発明の最大の利点の1つが、off-target切断による毒性を回避することであり、原則的にいかなる生物種においても適用可能であることを考慮すれば、好ましい一実施態様においては、本発明の二本鎖DNAの改変は、選択された二本鎖DNAの標的化された部位のみならず、それ以外の部位でのDNA鎖切断も伴わない。
一方、核酸配列認識モジュールとしてType I-E CRISPR-Casシステム(ターゲッティング配列32ヌクレオチド)を用い、核酸塩基変換酵素としてAIDを用いた場合、PAM(大腸菌由来I-Eサブタイプの場合、AAG、ATG、AGG、GAG)の下流32~44塩基の範囲内に主として変異が導入された。上述のように、PAM配列はType Iサブタイプに応じて異なるが、いずれも2~3ヌクレオチド(例えば、I-AサブタイプではCCN、I-FサブタイプではCC)で自由度が高い。また、高頻度に変異導入がみられる範囲もType II CRISPR-Casシステムを用いる場合よりも広い。ターゲッティング配列の長さの許容性については検討の余地があるものの、I-AまたはI-Bサブタイプを用いれば、より長く標的ヌクレオチド配列を設定することができる。
このように、Type I CRISPR-Casシステムを核酸配列認識モジュールとして利用することにより、Type II CRISPR-Casシステムでは変異を導入することが困難であった部位にも変異導入が可能となるので、相互補完的に利用することができる。
従って、Type I CRISPR-Casシステムを用いる本発明においても、複数のヌクレオチド配列を標的とすることにより、さらなる変異誘導効率の改善が期待できる。
あるいは、変異導入に十分な核酸改変酵素複合体の発現が得られる限り、宿主細胞内での自律複製能を有しない発現ベクター(例えば、宿主細胞で機能する複製起点及び/又は複製に必要なタンパク質をコードする遺伝子を欠くベクター等)を用いて、一過的発現により目的の二本鎖DNAに変異を導入することもまた好ましい。
本発明の核酸改変酵素複合体を、所望の時期に所望の期間、一過的に発現させる手段としては、該核酸改変酵素複合体をコードするDNAを、発現期間を制御可能な形態で含むコンストラクト(発現ベクター)を作製し、宿主細胞内に導入する方法が挙げられる。「発現期間を制御可能な形態」としては、具体的には、本発明の核酸改変酵素複合体をコードするDNAを、誘導性の調節領域の制御下においたものが挙げられる。「誘導性の調節領域」は特に制限されないが、例えば、細菌(例、大腸菌)や酵母などの微生物細胞では、温度感受性(ts)変異リプレッサーとこれに制御されるオペレーターとのオペロンが挙げられる(図4参照)。ts変異リプレッサーとしては、例えばλファージ由来のcIリプレッサーのts変異体が挙げられるが、これに限定されない。λファージcIリプレッサー(ts)の場合、30℃以下(例、28℃)ではオペレーターに結合して下流の遺伝子発現を抑制しているが、37℃以上(例、42℃)の高温ではオペレーターから解離するために、遺伝子発現が誘導される。従って、核酸改変酵素複合体をコードするDNAを導入した宿主細胞を、通常は30℃以下で培養し、適切な時期に温度を37℃以上に上げて一定期間培養して、核酸塩基変換反応を行わせ、標的遺伝子に変異が導入された後は、速やかに30℃以下に戻すことにより、標的遺伝子の発現が抑制される期間を最短にすることができ、宿主細胞にとって必須遺伝子を標的化する場合でも、副作用を押さえつつ効率よく編集することができる。
温度感受性変異を利用する場合、例えば、ベクターの自律複製に必要なタンパク質の温度感受性変異体を、本発明の核酸改変酵素複合体をコードするDNAを含むベクターに搭載することにより、該核酸改変酵素複合体の発現後、速やかに自律複製が出来なくなり、細胞分裂に伴って該ベクターは自然に脱落する。このような温度感受性変異タンパク質としては、pSC101 oriの複製に必要なRep101 oriの温度感受性変異体が挙げられるが(図4参照)、これに限定されない。Rep101 ori (ts)は30℃以下(例、28℃)では、pSC101 oriに作用してプラスミドの自律複製を可能にするが、37℃以上(例、42℃)になると機能を失い、プラスミドは自律複製できなくなる。従って、上記λファージのcIリプレッサー(ts)と併用することで、本発明の核酸改変酵素複合体の一過的発現と、プラスミド除去とを、同時に行うことができる。
尚、大腸菌などの原核細胞でも、誘導プロモーターを利用することができる。そのような誘導プロモーターとしては、例えば、lacプロモーター(IPTGで誘導)、cspAプロモーター(コールドショックで誘導)、araBADプロモーター(アラビノースで誘導)等が挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。
大腸菌DL21(DE3)株ゲノム由来のCascade領域のうち、CasAからCasEのORFを含むオペロンをPCRにより単離し、CasEの下流にPmCDA1遺伝子を、3xFlagタグをリンカーとして融合させた複合遺伝子断片を、温度誘導型ベクターのpRプロモーター下流に導入した。crRNA領域としてはプロモーターとしてpLを用い、その下流に5’handle配列および3’handle配列の間に32bpのターゲッティング配列(図5参照)を組み込んだものを導入した。得られた発現ベクターの全長DNA配列を配列番号4に示し、該ベクターの模式図と配列情報とを図4に示した。配列番号4中のn32の部分にターゲッティング配列が挿入される。
ゲノム編集試験にはヌクレアーゼcas3欠損大腸菌株(JW2731)を用いた。常法により大腸菌コンピテントセルを作製し、上記(1)で作製した発現ベクターで形質転換した。SOC培地(500μl)による回復培養(約2.5時間)の後、薬剤選抜培地(LB+10μg/ml クロラムフェニコール(Cm))2.5mlで希釈し、非誘導温度である28℃でおよそ一晩培養した。その後、同じ培地で20倍希釈して、37℃で約4時間振とう培養し、発現誘導を行った。該培養液の10倍希釈系列を作製し、Cm含有もしくは不含変異選抜プレート培地(LB+25μg/ml リファンピシン(Rif))にて選抜、Rif耐性コロニーを獲得した。
得られたコロニーをPCRにてrpoB遺伝子内の標的領域を増幅し、サンガーシーケンスにより変異を同定した。結果を図5-1及び5-2に示す。標的ヌクレオチド配列を32ヌクレオチドに設定すると、PAM配列から32~44塩基下流に存在するシトシンが主に変換されていた。
