【摘要】：KLHL(Kelch-like)蛋白家族是一類在進化中非常保守的蛋白質,其典型的特征是都含有一個N端的BTB結構域、5-6個羧基端的Kelch結構域,以及介于它們之間的BACK結構域。該家族蛋白的蛋白質序列在進化中均非常保守,提示其在機體內可能具有非常重要的生理功能。已有的研究表明,KLHL家族蛋白在細胞內多通過與Cu13蛋白相互結合而形成E3泛素連接酶,催化底物蛋白質的泛素化修飾,在機體的炎癥、氧化應激、細胞有絲分裂、胚胎發(fā)育以及淋巴生成等多種生命活動中發(fā)揮著重要的作用,但某些家族成員在細胞中還具有與催化蛋白質泛素化修飾無關的其他功能。作為KLHL蛋白家族中的一員,KLHL21蛋白含有一個BTB結構域、BACK結構域與5個Kelch結構域。2009年,MaerkiS等率先報道了,KLHL21可通過與Cullin3蛋白相互結合形成有功能的E3泛素連接酶,催化蛋白激酶Aurora B的泛素化修飾,在細胞有絲分裂后期參與調控染色體過客復合體(Chromosomal passenger complex,CPC)從染色體向紡錘體中間區(qū)(spindle midzone)的轉運,采用siRNA抑制其在細胞中的表達可導致有絲分裂過程中胞質分離(cytokinesis)的異常。來自該研究團隊最新的研究結果表明,KLHL21還可通過催化EB1蛋白的泛素化修飾而參與對細胞運動的調控。而我們前期的研究揭示,KLHL21是NF-κB信號通路中關鍵的IKK激酶復合物的特異性結合蛋白,可通過與IKKβ的激酶結構域結合而抑制其激活,差異性地調控NF-κB下游靶基因的誘導表達,且該過程不依賴其E3泛素連接酶活性。在前期的研究工作中,我們曾試用了來源自多個生物公司的KLHL21抗體,但普遍存在靈敏性與特異性不高的問題,為了后續(xù)研究的需要,本研究嘗試采用基因組編輯技術在HEK293T細胞內源性表達的KLHL21蛋白的羧基端敲入mCherry與FLAG雙蛋白質標簽。目前在實驗室中常用的基因組編輯技術有ZFN(zinc finger endonuclease,ZFN)、TALEN(transcription activator-like effector nuclease)CRISPR/Cas(Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated)等三種,其中以 2013 年才首次報道的 CRISPR/Cas系統(tǒng)因其操作相對簡單、低成本與基因組編輯的高效性而備受大家的關注。CRISPR/Cas系統(tǒng)是存在于細菌和古生菌的一種適應性免疫防御系統(tǒng),通過序列特異性的RNA介導,切割并降解噬菌體、質粒等外源入侵的遺傳物質。當病毒首次入侵時,細菌將病毒基因的一段DNA序列整合進自身的CRISPR間隔序列區(qū),其在病毒再次入侵時轉錄生成crRNA(CRISPR RNA)前體,前體crRNA再經(jīng)過加工后形成與外源性基因DNA序列匹配的成熟crRNA,通過與病毒基因組的同源DNA序列的識別而介導Cas蛋白切割病毒DNA將其沉默。目前已經(jīng)被鑒定的CRISPR/Cas系統(tǒng)共有3種類型,其中Ⅱ型CRISPR/Cas系統(tǒng)僅依賴于單一的Cas蛋白Cas9即可完成免疫防御,由于其操作簡單、要求低而被廣泛應用于基因組編輯。CRISPR/Cas9 系統(tǒng)由5'端反式激活核糖核酸(trans-activating CRISPR RNA,tracrRNA)序列區(qū)、中間部分的Cas9基因編碼序列和3'端CRISPR間隔序列區(qū)在DNA鏈上線性排列組成。CRISPR間隔序列區(qū)由高度保守的回文序列/反向重復序列R(Repeats)和長度約為30nt的間隔序列S(Spacers)有規(guī)律的間隔排列組成。Spacers經(jīng)轉錄和加工形成小干擾RNA分子crRNA,通過堿基互補配對識別靶DNA序列并引導Cas核酸酶對其進行切割。crRNA與靶DNA的互補配對區(qū)長度通常為20nt,這一過程中需要tracrRNA的參與,其通過與crRNA的部分序列互補配對而募集Cas9蛋白。在實際應用中,可以將crRNA與tracr-RNA編碼序列整合在一起,采用RNA轉錄酶Ⅲ啟動子如H1與U6進行表達,從而獲得向導RNA(guideRNA,gRNA),此外也可以通過轉染體外合成或體外轉錄的gRNA來介導對靶DNA的切割。在gRNA識別的靶DNA序列的下游中含有一個PAM序列(protospacer adjacent motifs),通常為NGG三核苷酸序列(N代表任意核苷酸),是gRNA識別靶DNA序列所必需的。Cas9蛋白具有兩個核酸酶活性中心HNH與RuvC,它們分別切割靶DNA雙鏈中的一條鏈,導致DNA雙鏈的平末端斷裂,繼而通過細胞的DNA同源重組或非同源性末端連接修復機制對斷裂的DNA進行修復,導致靶DNA序列的缺失與插入,引起靶基因讀碼框移位而達到敲除其在細胞內表達的目的;或者在外源同源重組模板存在時對靶DNA序列進行替換、或者敲入一段外源DNA序列,通過這種對靶基因DNA序列進行的定點編輯可實現(xiàn)對細胞內源性表達的靶基因功能或表達水平的調控,促進對靶基因功能與表達調控機制的深入研究。研究目的:利用CRISPR/Cas9基因編輯技術構建KLHL21蛋白羧基端敲入蛋白標簽的HEK293T穩(wěn)定細胞株。研究方法:1、構建含有mCherry-FLAG雙蛋白質標簽的KLHL21基因同源重組模板質粒,以及靶向人KLHL21基因終止密碼子附近DNA序列的gRNA表達載體;2、將線性化的KLHL21基因同源重組模板質粒、gRNA表達質粒和人源化的hCas9表達載體共轉染入HEK293T細胞中;3、采用Blasticidin抗生素篩選獲得敲入目標蛋白質標簽的HEK293T陽性細胞株;4、采用PCR、Western Blot和免疫沉淀技術驗證篩選獲得的陽性HEK293T細胞株;5、構建Cre重組酶表達載體pCDNA3.1-Cre,將其轉染篩選獲得的敲入了目標蛋白質標簽的HEK293T細胞株,利用Cre/Loxp位點特異性重組系統(tǒng)將兩端含有同向Loxp位點的Blasticidin篩選標記基因序列切除。研究結果:1、成功構建了用于人KLHL21蛋白羧基端敲入mCherry與FLAG蛋白標簽的載體pKCFD。2、成功構建了靶向人KLHL21基因終止密碼子附近序列的gRNA表達載體 pHG4-21A 與 pHG4-21B。3、利用CRISPR/Cas9系統(tǒng)成功將mCherry與FLAG蛋白標簽敲入了內源性KLHL21蛋白的羧基端。4、采用抗生素Blasticidin成功篩選到在內源性表達的KLHL21蛋白羧基端敲入目標蛋白質標簽mCherry-FLAG的HEK293T陽性細胞株。5、通過Cre-Loxp位點特異性重組系統(tǒng)成功切除兩端含有同向Loxp位點的Blasticidin篩選標記基因序列。結論:我們成功地采用CRISPR/Cas9基因編輯技術在HEK293T細胞中內源性表達的KLHL21蛋白羧基端敲入mCherry與FLAG蛋白標簽,為后續(xù)KLHL21蛋白質的功能研究提供了便利,同時也建立了一個研究其他內源性表達基因功能的技術平臺。
[Abstract]:The KLHL (Kelch-like) family of proteins is a class of very conserved proteins in evolution, typically characterized by a BTB domain at the N-terminus, a Kelch domain at the 5-6 antigen base, and a BACK domain between them. The protein sequence of the family protein is very conservative in the evolution, suggesting that it may have a very important physiological function in the body. The research has shown that the KLHL family protein can form the E3 ubiquitin ligase by binding to the Cu13 protein in the cell, and the ubiquitin modification of the substrate protein is catalyzed, and the inflammation, the oxidative stress and the cell mitosis of the body are carried out on the body. Some of the family members also have other functions unrelated to the catalytic protein ubiquitination modification in the cell. As a member of the KLHL protein family, the KLHL21 protein has a BTB domain, a BACK domain and five Kelch domains. In 2009, MaerkiS and the like were the first to report that the KLHL21 can catalyze the ubiquitination modification of the protein kinase Aurora B by forming a functional E3 ubiquitin ligase with the Cullin3 protein, In the later stage of cell mitosis, it is involved in the transfer of the chromosome-passing complex (CPC) from the chromosome to the middle zone of the spindle, and the use of siRNA to inhibit its expression in the cell can lead to the abnormal cytokinesis in the process of mitosis. The latest research from the research team showed that KLHL21 could also be involved in the regulation of cellular movement by catalyzing the ubiquitination modification of the EB1 protein. In our earlier studies, KLHL21 is a specific binding protein of the key IKK kinase complex in the NF-B signal pathway, which can inhibit the activation and differential regulation of the induction expression of the downstream target gene of NF-B B by binding to the kinase domain of IKK antigen, And the process does not rely on its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. In the previous research work, we have tried the KLHL21 antibody from multiple biological companies, but there is a problem of low sensitivity and specificity, for the need of follow-up research, In this study, an attempt was made to use a genomic editing technique to knock at the proximal end of the KLHL21 protein, which is endogenously expressed by the HEK293T cells, into the mCherry and FLAG double-protein labels.
