在CRISPR/Cas9系统介导的基因编辑中,借助于双链DNA (double-stranded DNA,dsDNA)供体模板的重组效应能够实现对目标基因组靶位点的精确编辑和基因敲入,然而高等真核生物细胞中同源重组的低效性限制了该基因编辑策略的发展和应用。为提高CRISPR/Cas9系统介导dsDNA供体模板的同源重组效率,本研究利用大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)乳糖操纵子阻遏蛋白LacI与操纵序列LacO特异性结合的特点,通过重组DNA技术将密码子人源化优化的阻遏蛋白基因LacI分别与脓链球菌(Streptococcus pyogenes)源的SpCas9和路邓葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus lugdunensis)源的SlugCas9-HF融合表达,通过PCR将操纵序列LacO与dsDNA供体嵌合,构建了新型的CRISPR/Cas9-hLacI供体适配系统(donor adapting system,DAS)。首先在报告载体水平上对Cas9核酸酶活性、DAS介导的同源引导修复(homology-directed repair,HDR)效率进行了验证和优化,其次在基因组水平对其介导的基因精确编辑进行了检测,并最终利用CRISPR/SlugCas9-hLacI DAS在HEK293T细胞中实现了VEGFA位点的精确编辑,效率高达30.5%,显著高于野生型。综上所述,本研究开发了新型的CRISPR/Cas9-hLacI供体适配基因编辑系统,丰富了CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术种类,为以后的基因编辑及分子设计育种研究提供了新的工具。 相似文献

【目的】与整合型表达载体相比,游离型表达载体通常具有更高的拷贝数以实现目标基因的高强度表达,并且对于DNA操作应用更加方便和灵活。然而,目前的研究尚未确定适用于圆红冬孢酵母的游离型质粒,该酵母外源基因的表达或者基于CRISPR/Cas9的基因组编辑都需要通过整合方式来完成,这也是对其遗传改造进展缓慢的一个重要原因。本研究目的是构建圆红冬孢酵母的游离型质粒,使得其外源基因的表达和基因组编辑更方便省时。【方法】首先对圆红冬孢酵母苯丙氨酸氨裂解酶基因(phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene, PAL)中可能存在的自主复制序列(autonomously replicating sequences, ARSs)进行挖掘和表征,将该基因及其上下游序列进行分段扩增,构建到带有β-异丙基苹果酸脱氢酶基因(β-isopropyl malate dehydrogenase gene, LEU2)的质粒中,通过电转化的方法导入LEU2基因缺陷的圆红冬孢酵母中,根据转化效率高低鉴定了该酵母的一个ARS。其次,以编码香叶基香叶基焦磷酸合成酶(geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, GGPPS)的BTS1基因为敲除靶点,将其gRNA构建到基于ARS的游离型质粒中,通过转化子直观的颜色变化来验证该游离型质粒是否成功应用于圆红冬孢酵母的CRISPR/Cas9体系。【结果】本工作鉴定了圆红冬孢酵母的ARS,构建了基于ARS元件的游离型质粒,并将该质粒应用于圆红冬孢酵母CRISPR/Cas9体系,成功实现了基于游离型质粒的基因敲除。【结论】本研究丰富了圆红冬孢酵母现有的工具库,为圆红冬孢酵母的合成生物学应用提供了良好的研究基础和技术支持。 相似文献

黑曲霉(Aspergillus niger)是一种重要的工业生产菌株,被广泛地应用于生产酶制剂和有机酸,但仍需要进行基因组改造提高它的应用潜力。CRISPR/Cas9技术是一种被广泛采用的黑曲霉基因组编辑技术,但由于需要在基因组中整合选择标记或基因编辑效率还有待提高,影响了其在工业菌株改造中的应用。本研究建立了一种基于CRISPR/Cas9技术的高效无选择标记的基因编辑方法。首先,利用5S rRNA启动子启动sgRNA的表达,构建了一个含有AMA1(autonomously maintained in Aspergillus)复制起始片段的sgRNA和Cas9共表达质粒;同时通过敲除kusA基因构建非同源末端连接(non-homologous end joining pathway,NHEJ)修复缺陷的高效同源重组菌株;最后利用含有AMA1片段质粒的不稳定性,通过无抗平板传代丢失含有sgRNA和Cas9共表达质粒。利用该方法,在采用同源臂长度仅为20bp的无选择标记供体DNA进行基因编辑时,基因编辑效率可达到100%。该方法为黑曲霉基因功能的研究和细胞工厂的构建奠定了基础。 相似文献

In order to dissect the genetic regulation of leafblade morphogenesis, 16 genotypes of pea, constructed by combining the wild-type
and mutant alleles of MFP, AF, TL and UNI genes, were quantitatively phenotyped. The morphological features of the three domains of leafblades of four genotypes, unknown
earlier, were described. All the genotypes were found to differ in leafblade morphology. It was evident that MFP and TL functions
acted as repressor of pinna ramification, in the distal domain. These functions, with and without interaction with UNI, also
repressed the ramification of proximal pinnae in the absence of AF function. The expression of MFP and TL required UNI function.
AF function was found to control leafblade architecture multifariously. The earlier identified role of AF as a repressor of
UNI in the proximal domain was confirmed. Negative control of AF on the UNI-dependent pinna ramification in the distal domain was revealed. It was found that AF establishes a boundary between proximal
and distal domains and activates formation of leaflet pinnae in the proximal domain. 相似文献

Seven bean rhizobial strains EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29 identified as Rhizobium etli, and EBRI 32 identified as Rhizobium gallicum, isolated from Egyptian soils and which nodulated Phaseolus vulgaris efficiently, were subjected to hybridization with a nifH probe in order to estimate the copy number of this gene. Seven strains (EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29) which were only
able to nodulate Phaseolus vulgaris, contained three copies of the nifH gene, consistent with their identification as Rhizobium etli bv. phaseoli. Only one strain (EBRI 32) which nodulated both Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala, had one copy of nifH gene. This confirmed the classification of this strain as Rhizobium gallicum bv. gallicum. 相似文献

Many Cola plant species are endemic to West and Central Africa. Cola acuminata and Cola nitida are used as masticatory when fresh, while the dried nuts are used for beverages and pharmaceutical purposes in Europe and North America. Garcinia kola seeds, that serve as a substitute for the true kola nuts, are used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, including colic, headache and liver cirrhosis. Seeds extracts of G. kola are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. To gain information on the chemical properties of the kolas, we have isolated and analyzed cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactan-proteins and phenolic substances from the seeds of the three kola species. The sugar composition of cell wall material of C. acuminata, C. nitida and G. kola revealed that Gal (up to 30%), Ara, GalA and Glc as the predominant monosaccharides, representing approximately 90% by mol of the total hydrolysable sugar present in this material. In Ammonium oxalate cell wall fraction, GalA was found to be the major sugar present in all kola species. In the alkali-soluble fraction, there were significant differences in the level of Glc and Gal. The level of Glc was high in C. acuminata and C. nitida while the level of Gal and Xyl were high in C. nitida and G. cola. Isolation and quantification of arabinogalactan-proteins demonstrate that G. kola seeds contained four to eight times more of these proteoglycans than the seeds of the other two species. Finally, analysis of soluble phenolic substances shows that caffeine and catechin were largely represented in C. acumina and C. nitida seeds, with caffeine accounting for 50% of all soluble phenolics. These findings indicate that the three Kola seeds are highly enriched in pectins and proteoglycans and that C. acuminata and C. nitida can be used as a possible source of caffeine and catechin. 相似文献

The phylogenetic placement of Ostropales within Lecanoromycetes (Ascomycota) revisited 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Results of molecular studies regarding the phylogenetic placement of the order Ostropales and related taxa within Lecanoromycetes were thus far inconclusive. Some analyses placed the order as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, while others inferred a position nested within Lecanoromycetes. We assembled a data set of 101 species including sequences from nuLSU rDNA, mtSSU rDNA, and the nuclear protein-coding RPB1 for each species to examine the cause of incongruencies in previously published phylogenies. MP, minimum evolution, and Bayesian analyses were performed using the combined three-region data set and the single-gene data sets. The position of Ostropales nested in Lecanoromycetes is confirmed in all single-gene and concatenated analyses, and a placement as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes is significantly rejected using two independent methods of alternative topology testing. Acarosporales and related taxa (Acarosporaceae group) are basal in Lecanoromycetes. However, if the these basal taxa are excluded from the analyses, Ostropales appear to be sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, suggesting different ingroup rooting as the cause for deviating topologies in previously published phylogenies. 相似文献

The potential of Fusarium oxysporum var. cubense UAMH 9013 to perform steroid biotransformations was reinvestigated using single phase and pulse feed conditions. The following natural steroids served as substrates: dehydroepiandrosterone (1), pregnenolone (2), testosterone (3), progesterone (4), cortisone (5), prednisone (6), estrone (7) and sarsasapogenin (8). The results showed the possible presence of C-7 and C-15 hydroxylase enzymes. This hypothesis was explored using three synthetic androstanes: androstane-3,17-dione (9), androsta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (10) and 3α,5α-cycloandrost-6-en-17-one (11). These fermentations of non-natural steroids showed that C-7 hydroxylation was as a result of that position being allylic. The evidence also pointed towards the presence of a C-15 hydroxylase enzyme.The eleven steroids were also fed to Exophialajeanselmei var. lecanii-corni UAMH 8783. The results showed that the fungus appears to have very active 5α and 14α-hydroxylase enzymes, and is also capable of carrying out allylic oxidations.Ceratocystis paradoxa UAMH 8784 was grown in the presence of the above-mentioned steroids. The results showed that monooxygenases which effect allylic hydroxylation and Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement were active. However, redox reactions predominated. 相似文献
