Description

一种Cas蛋白的用途及靶标核酸分子的检测方法和试剂盒 技术领域
本发明属于生物技术领域,具体地说,本发明涉及一种用于靶标核酸分子检测的方法。
背景技术
特异性检测核酸分子(Nucleic acid detection)方法具有重要的应用价值,例如病原体的检测,遗传病检测等。在病原体检测方面,由于每种病原体微生物都有其独一无二的特征核酸分子序列,因此可以开发出针对特定物种的核酸分子检测,也称为核酸诊断(NADs,nucleic acid diagnostics),在食品安全、环境微生物污染检测,人体病原菌感染等领域具有重要意义。另一个方面是对人或其他物种的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs,single nucleotide polymorphisms)的检测。在基因组水平上去理解遗传变异和生物学功能之间的关系为现代分子生物学提供了新视角,而其中SNPs对生物学的功能、进化和疾病等密切相关,因此SNPs的检测与分析技术的发展尤为重要。
目前已建立了不少NADs的方法,主要是针对特异性DNA分子的检测,也有部分方法针对RNA分子。通常来说,DNA分子非常稳定,因此检测样品可来源于一系列复杂的生物样本;而RNA则非常容易降解,因此处理时需要非常小心。在上世纪70年代,建立了限制性内切酶酶切检测的方法,后来又发展了Southern、Northern和斑点杂交等方法进行特异性检测核酸分子检测。1985年,当PCR方法成为常规实验方法后,导致了分子生物学指数级的进步。目前建立的特异性核酸分子检测通常需要分为两步,第一步是目的核酸的扩增,第二步是目的核酸检测。PCR技术是最先建立也是目前最常用的扩增方法,目前在PCR方法基础上,引入了荧光标记的探针,可以实时检测靶标的扩增情况,称为Realtime PCR。Realtime PCR不仅是快速、高灵敏的检测方法,同时这种方法也可以进行定量分析。除了PCR的扩增方法,还建立了许多替代方法,比如ligase chain reaction,branched DNA amplification,NASBA,SDA,transcription-mediated amplification,Loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP),rolling circle amplification(RCA)and Recombinase Polymerase Amplification(RPA)等。许多这些替代方法的优势在于等温性,也就是说只需要一个温度即可以完成反应,而不需要像PCR那样的热循环仪器。核酸检测的方法除了Realtime PCR可以直接完成扩增和检测之外,FISH杂交技术(Fluorescence in situ hybridization)是 最常用的检测方法——通过标记分子探针,原位与互补的靶标序列杂交。除此之外,目前还开发了下一代测序技术(next-generation sequencing technologies)和Oxford Nanopore测序技术等检测方法,但这些方法通常需要昂贵的实验设备。
对SNPs的检测首先同样需要进行PCR等方法的扩增,从而获得足量的含SNP位点区域片段进行进一步的检测。比较常用的方法有:引物延伸(primer extension),杂交(hybridization),连接(ligation)和酶切(enzymatic cleavage)。当完成上述方法之后,需要利用特定的方法进行检测,比如质谱检测、荧光检测、化学发光检测等。
核酸检测虽然如上文所述已开发出了不少检测方法,但是在某些情况下,如何更加快速、简便、廉价的检测仍是重要的发展方向,比如在野外的病原菌快速检测、药物敏感SNP快速检测等。在2016年,Collins等基于CRISPR-Cas9特异性识别并切割靶标序列的特点,开发了快速廉价检测寨卡病毒(Zika)的方法。2017年,张锋等利用CRISPR-Cas13a具有“旁路活性”(collateral effect)的特点建立了快速核酸探测的方法。“旁路活性”即Cas13a结合特异性靶标RNA后随机切割其他非靶标RNA(这里将RNA分子设计成RNA荧光报告系统);通过与等温扩增技术RPA相结合,以实现快速靶标RNA的检测;张锋团队把这种检测方法称为SHERLOCK(Specific High Sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing)。SHERLOCK方法涉及到RNA模板的结合,因此如果需要针对DNA进行检测,则需要先将DNA转录为RNA模板以用于检测;鉴于RNA的不稳定性,该方法无疑会增加操作的困难程度。
2015年,张锋等人发现了新的CRISPR相关蛋白内切酶Cas12a(之前称为Cpf1),它与常用的Cas9蛋白一样是RNA引导的特异性DNA核酸内切酶;但与相比Cas9,Cas12a又有它自身特点,比如仅需要crRNA即可引导特异性切割双链DNA,并产生粘性末端等。

HOLMES条件测试:
本发明提供了基于Cas12a、Cas12b等Cas12酶在核酸检测中的应用。以下以Cas12a为例进行描述。
Cas12a的选择:根据研究,Cas12a具有trans切割(反式切割)的活力,即一旦靶标DNA、crRNA和Cas12a蛋白形成三元复合体时,会切割体系中其他的单链DNA(旁路单链DNA)。根据这一原理设计了特异性DNA检测方法。首先,将旁路DNA设计成荧光探针,其组成是12nt的随机序列,并在5’端标记荧光基团HEX在3’端标记淬灭基团BHQ1(HEX-N12-BHQ1)。当体系中含有标靶DNA片段时,将形成靶标DNA、crRNA和Cas12a蛋白的三元复合体,此时该探针即被切割,同时通过荧光检测仪的检测HEX荧光基团会发出荧光(激发光535nM,发射光556nM)。接着,测试了10种不同的Cas12a,靶标序列为双链DNA如图7所示。可以看出,靶标双链DNA与各个Cas12a蛋白组成的复合体都能够实现trans切割活力。
HOLMES响应灵敏度:接着,测试了FnCas12a与LbCas12a对靶标DNA的响应灵敏度,也就是说考察能响应的最低靶标DNA的浓度。如图9所示,当直接加入测试靶标时,0.1nM浓度以上的靶标DNA都能够响应,而且浓度1nM以上时响应显著。如果结合PCR技术(HOLMES方法),如图8所示,即先通过PCR扩增目的片段再进行Cas12a切割反应,此时,响应灵敏度可以低至10aM,如图9所示。
SNP测试:接着,测试HOLMES方法是否可以检测SNP基因型。将T1作为靶标序列,将该位点的PAM突变或1-18位靶标序列分别进行单位点突变,比较不同长度的crRNA对非突变序列和突变序列之间测差异。
如图10所示,当靶标互补序列为24nt的crRNA(crRNA-24nt)时,8-18位的单位点突变与野生型差异不大,而PAM突变和1-7位点突变后,荧光值有明显的 下降。当截短crRNA长度,配对靶标序列长度为18nt时,突变位置8-16nt的荧光值相比靶标序列长度为24nt时有明显下降;当继续缩短为16nt或17nt时,突变后的靶标序列荧光值的下降幅度更加明显;而再缩短为15nt时,靶标序列和突变的荧光值针对该靶标序列比较弱,但是针对其他的靶标序列时其强度可能仍会较高,可以用于检测。综合来看,15nt、16nt和17nt的crRNA对SNP的检测最为合适。
本发明对Cas12a切割单链DNA,Cas12a对单链DNA的切割是不依赖于PAM序列的程序化切割方式,称之为cis切割(顺式切割);而一旦三元复合体Cas12a/crRNA/靶标DNA形成,就会显示出trans切割(反式切割)的活性,即会表现出切割体系中非靶标的任意单链DNA。
利用Cas12a的特性,开发了特异性检测核酸分子的方法,称之为HOLMES(one HOur Low-cost Multipurpose Efficient Simple assay)。正如该技术的名称一样,其特点是快速(1小时)、低价、多通路、高效、简便测试法。该方法可用于快速病原菌检测,SNP检测等领域。
基于旁路切割活性进行核酸检测
本发明还提供了基于Cas12酶(包括Cas12a或Cas12b)的旁路切割活性进行核酸检测的方法。
优选地,本发明的检测可针对SNP进行,尤其是先进行PCR扩增,然后进行检测。
参见图18,其中给出了引物的设计方案。
情形1.当SNP位点附近有PAM位点,且依据该PAM位点设计的guide序列基础上合成的crRNA能够用于HOLMES检测。当用HOLMES方法进行检测时,其表现为背景信号比较低;针对同一条guide序列,不同SNP模板之间的信号差异比较大。
情形2.当SNP位点附近没有PAM位点,或者没有合适的PAM位点时,可以依据以上实验方案进行PAM位点的引入。
一种典型的步骤包括:在SNP位点附近设计引物,在引物上携带PAM位点,在PAM位点的3’端序列需要与模板DNA配对。另一端的引物没有特殊要求,只需要能够与模板DNA进行配对并能够进行PCR扩增即可。如图18所示,在进行PCR扩增之后,PAM位点便能够被成功引入。
参见图10,在本发明中,在设计引入PAM位点时,通常SNP位点位于crRNA guide序列5’端的前16个碱基的位置,较佳地1-14位,更佳地1-12位,更优选为1-11位或1-10位,最佳地1-8位或1-7位。
本发明的主要优点在于:
(1)快速:在测试条件准备好的情况下,从拿到样品,到拿到检测结果只需约1小时。
(2)低成本:实验中没有特殊的材料或酶,而且涉及到的材料、试剂等较少,可以进行微量化的测试分析。
(3)高效:本发明具有极高的灵敏度,可以检测到10aM浓度的DNA。
(4)多用途:可检测不同的核酸样本,包括DNA样本和RNA样本。
(5)简单:没有特殊复杂的步骤,如果制成试剂盒以及设定好程序,只需简单的加入样品等操作。
下面结合具体实施例,进一步阐述本发明。应理解,这些实施例仅用于说明本发明而不用于限制本发明的范围。下列实施例中未注明具体条件的实验方法,通常按照常规条件,例如Sambrook等人,分子克隆:实验室手册(New York:Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press,1989)中所述的条件,或按照制造厂商所建议的条件。除非另外说明,否则百分比和份数是重量百分比和重量份数。

选用target-T1作为靶标DNA,然后梯度稀释成不同浓度,测试FnCas12a与 LbCas12a对其响应灵敏度。为了增加灵敏度,加入了PCR扩增步骤。
1、crRNA制备:首先,通过用T7-crRNA-F与合成的寡核苷酸T7-T1-24-R(表5)进行退火来制备转录模板。具体是,将配对的寡核苷酸(4μM)在1×PCR缓冲液(Transgen Biotech)中退火,总体积为50μL,然后进行退火程序:在95℃初始变性5分钟,然后从95℃冷却至20℃,使用热循环仪每分钟降低1℃。使用T7高产量转录试剂盒合成crRNA,并且反应在37℃下进行过夜(约16h)。然后使用RNA纯化与浓缩试剂盒纯化RNA,并用NanoDrop 2000C定量,稀释为10μM浓度并保存到-80℃冰箱中。
2、PCR扩增(可选):以含target-T1靶标的质粒(pUC18-T1)作为模板,梯度稀释,进行PCR反应。每个反应体系总体积为20μL,用0.25μM的M13F-47、M13R-48为引物(表4),PCR反应用高保真酶KOD FX(ToYoBo)。PCR反应程序为,95℃2min,然后开始35个循环98℃10s,60℃15s,68℃10s。PCR完成后,PCR扩增产物直接用于Cas12a反应。
3、Cas12a反应:20μL反应体系中,加入步骤1中纯化的crRNA(0.5μM),FnCas12a或LbCas12a(0.25μM),PCR产物1μL(或直接稀释成不同浓度的靶标DNA),荧光探针(HEX-N12-BHQ1)(0.5μM),缓冲液为NEB buffer 3.1,0.5μL RNA酶抑制剂。在37℃反应15min,然后98℃2min终止反应。

4、荧光检测:将灭活的20μL反应液加入96孔板中,然后用酶标仪检测(激发光535nm,发射光556nm)。如图10所示,当靶标互补序列为24nt的crRNA(crRNA-24nt)时,8-18位的单位点突变与野生型差异不大,而PAM突变和1-7位点突变后,荧光值有明显的下降。当截短crRNA长度,配对靶标序列长度为18nt时,突变位置8-16nt的荧光值相比24nt有明显下降,当16nt或17nt时,突变后的靶标序列荧光值下降更加明显,而15nt时,靶标序列和突变的荧光值则都已很弱,但是针对其他的靶标序列时其强度可能仍会较高,可以用于检测。综合来看,15nt、16nt和17nt的crRNA对SNP的检测最为合适。

(2)若靶标DNA为双链,直接合成两条互补的长50bp的寡核苷酸(DNMT1-3(TTC PAM)-F;DNMT1-3(TTC PAM)-R),其中包含向导RNA所识别的20bp靶标序列(DNMT1-3)。将两条寡核苷酸退火,得到短的target DNA。具体是,将配对的寡核苷酸(2μM)在1×PCR缓冲液(Transgen Biotech)中退火,总体积为20μL,然后进行退火程序:初始在95℃变性5分钟,然后从95℃冷却至20℃,使用热循环仪每分钟降低1℃。
(3)将单链或双链靶标DNA梯度稀释为2μM,0.2μM,0.02μM,0.002μM,0.0002μM备用。
第二种是将含靶标序列(DNMT1-3)的片段插入一质粒载体中,通过LAMP反应扩增。
(1)使用Transgen公司的pEasy-Blunt Zero Cloning Kit,将含靶标序列(DNMT1-3)片段插入pEasy-Blunt Zero Cloning Vector,经测序验证后获得正确的克隆。
(2)LAMP扩展反应
以上述质粒作为模板,进行LAMP扩增反应,模板分别加入0,1nM,0.1nM,10倍梯度稀释至10 -11nM。每个反应体系总体积为25μL,用引物1.6μM的LAMP-DNM-FIP与LAMP-DNM-BIP、0.2μM的LAMP-DNM-F3与LAMP-DNM-B3、0.4μM的LAMP-DNM-LoopF与LAMP-DNM-LoopB,LAMP反应所用的试剂盒为

LAMP Kit(NEB)。LAMP反应程序为,65℃30min。LAMP完成后,80℃10min灭火,然后直接用于Cas12b反应。
3、Cas12b反应
(1)向导RNA退火:将向导RNA稀释至适当浓度(5μM),置PCR仪中退火。退火程序:75℃变性5min,然后从75℃冷却至20℃,每分钟降低1℃。
(2)向导RNA与Cas12b孵育:将退火完成的向导RNA与等摩尔浓度的Cas12b混合,于30℃放置20-30min。
(3)Cas12b反应:在20μL反应体系中,加入步骤(2)孵育的向导RNA与Cas12b的混合物(两者终浓度均为250μM),1μL的target DNA或1μL的LAMP产物,荧光探针(HEX-N12-BHQ1)(终浓度500nM),以及2μL的10×NEB Buffer 3.1和0.5μL的RNA酶抑制剂(40U/μL)。混匀后,于48℃反应30min。之后,置PCR仪中98℃加热5min灭火。
4、荧光酶标仪法检测Cas12b的trans切割(反式切割)活力
将灭活的20μL反应液加入96孔板中,用酶标仪检测(激发光535nm,发射光556nm)。结合了LAMP扩增之后,Cas12b可以针对低至10aM浓度的靶标DNA产生很显著的旁路单链DNA反式切割活力。结果如图24。
Cas12a切割靶标单链DNA的顺式切割特性:
首先,为了测试Cas12a的单链DNA切割特征,设计了几个靶向短的单链DNA(DNMT1-3)的crRNA(表1),其在3’末端用5(6)-羧基荧光素(FAM)标记。在FnCas12a切割后,通过变性尿素聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(尿素PAGE)分析反应产物。发现通过Cas12a的单链DNA切割是程序化的,即切割位点为从第一个与crRNA引导序列配对的靶标序列的3’端碱基开始向5’端计数的靶标序列第22个碱基附近(第21至第23个碱基),如图1A和1C所示。Cas12a的双链DNA需要PAM序列,而单链DNA切割不需要PAM序列(图1A,1B与图2),这与Cas9介导的单链DNA切割相似。然而,Cas12a介导的单链DNA切割活性依赖于crRNA中的茎环结构,如图1A所示,而Cas9仍然表现出对仅具有20-nt互补RNA序列的单链DNA的仍有弱切割活性。crRNA的茎环结构对于稳定Cas12a的结构是重要的,其为crRNA环结构对Cas12a的单链DNA切割的必要性的原因。进一步测试Cas12a的单链DNA切割位点是否可以通过更短的引导序列crRNA,从而使得切割在识别位点之外。在引导序列长度为16nt,18nt和20nt时,所有这些crRNA都导致在靠近第22个碱基处通过Cpf1切割,如图1B与1D所示,意味着切割位点是识别 位点之外的4nt,2nt或0nt。接着,测试了Cas12a对不同底物的切割效率,分别用了双链DNA和单链DNA底物,如图1F所示。类似于Cas9切割情况,单链DNA切割比双链DNA切割更慢,如图1E至1G所示。这些结果表明Cas12a的单链DNA识别与切割的机制可能不同于双链DNA,是一种效率较低的不依赖于PAM的识别切割方式;PAM序列为Cas12a对靶标双链DNA的识别和/或切割起到加速的作用。
Cas12a切割单链DNA的反式切割特性:
当靶标单链DNA在3’末端进行标记时,Cas12a切割第22个碱基附近,如图1所示。然而,当标记在5’末端时,没有观察到预测大小的切割产物条带,但是产生短(<6nt)FAM标记的产物,如图3B所示。通过详细的实验,一旦三元复合体Cas12a/crRNA/靶标单链DNA形成,5’-末端标记的靶标单链DNA(DNMT1-3)(表1)被切割并产生短FAM标记的产物,如图3C所示。此外,三元复合体还切割任何其他反应体系中与crRNA没有互补性序列的单链DNA(即旁路单链DNA),如图3C和图3D所示。将这种切割现象为反式切割,区别于可程序化的顺式切割。当靶标单链DNA在3’-末端标记时,也观察到了反式切割,但留下了许多顺式切割产物,如图3B所示,这可能是由于Cas12a/crRNA/靶标单链DNA形成了复合物,并保护了靶标单链DNA,以使其标记的3’-末端免于暴露于三元复合物的核酸酶活性位点,这些切割过程可以用图3A显示。
除了上面测试的FnCas12a,还测试了来自其他物种来源的9种Cas12a(表2和图4A)。除了Lb4Cas12a以外,所有的Cas12a都对质粒DNA具有较好的核酸内切酶活性(如图4B所示),并且所有的Cas12a三元复合体都显示出对单链的顺式和反式切割活性(如图4C和4D所示)。这说明Cas12a针对单链DNA的顺式和反式活力是普遍现象。
Cas12a切割单链DNA的顺式和反式关键位点与机理
为了测定Cas12a中有关对单链DNA顺式和反式活性的关键氨基酸残基,突变了Cas12a的几个候选残基进行活力测试。首先,纯化并测试FnCas12a(H843A,K852A和K869A)的三个单氨基酸突变体,其残基与RNase活性相关。对于单链DNA的反式活性研究结果显示,野生型FnCas12a和三个突变体在单链DNA顺式和反式切割活力上没有发现明显的差异,如图5A和5C所示。
接着,当FnCas12a中的核酸内切酶活性位点突变时,即RuvC结构域(D917A,E1006A或D1255A)与Nuc结构域(R1218A)位点,这些突变Cas12a的单链DNA顺式和反式切割活性都受到了影响,如图5B和5D所示。这些结果表明Cas12a针对靶标双链DNA切割的关键位点与单链DNA顺式和反式切割活性密切相关。
最近对Cas12b(即C2c1)的结构研究(包括与延伸的靶DNA或延伸的非靶DNA复合体)显示两条链均位于RuvC口袋内,如图6A和6B所示。通过比较Cas12b(即C2c1)和Cas12a的核酸内切酶催化残基,这些位点最可能在Cas12b(即C2c1)和Cas12a的切割和功能中发挥类似的作用。体外单氨基酸突变实验的结果表明,与上述假设是一致的,也即是说Cas12a很可能通过只通过一个RuvC催化口袋切割两条链。
Cas12a复合体的反式切割活性:在Cas12b(即C2c1)复合体与额外单链DNA的结构中,序列非依赖性单链DNA也位于催化口袋的表面,如图6C所示,这类似于Cas12a中的旁路单链DNA底物。结合单个氨基酸突变实验,提出标靶DNA,非靶标DNA和旁路单链DNA都在Cas12a中的单个RuvC口袋切割,如图6D,6E和6F所示。三元Cas12a复合体具有旁路单链DNA反式切割活性,而单体或二元复合体没有旁路单链DNA反式切割活性的原因可以通过比较单体、二元和三元复合体的结构来解释。单体Cas12a结构是无序的,二元复合体Cas12a/crRNA是三角形结构,如图6G所示,而三元复合物Cas12a/crRNA/靶标DNA转变为双叶结构,从而暴露出催化口袋,以实现旁路单链DNA的反式切割(如图6H所示)。
核酸探测方法的建立
利用Cas12a的特性,开发了特异性检测核酸分子的方法,称之为HOLMES(one HOur Low-cost Multipurpose Efficient Simple assay)。正如该技术的名称一样,其特点是一小时、低成本、多用途、高效率、很简便的测试法。
在整个反应体系中,可分为两个大的步骤,一个是对模板核酸的扩增,另一个是Cas12a蛋白的特异性核酸检测。这里,对于核酸的扩增运用了PCR的方法,但实际上,任何的扩增方法都可结合第二步的核酸检测,例如等温扩增方法RPA等。初始的核酸不限于双链DNA,也可以是单链DNA;即使是RNA,也可以通过反转录后实现检测,因此本方法适用于多种类型的核酸分子。对于核酸检测阶段,其中3个组分是实验的关键,分别为Cas12a,crRNA和核酸探针。除了实施例中提到的10种Cas12a(这10种蛋白是随机选择的),其他Cas12a蛋白同样适用于该方法。此外,其它类型的Cas蛋白(如C2c1蛋白)也适用于本发明保护的范畴:根据实验结果显示,Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris Cas12b(即C2c1)也具有与Cas12a类似的旁路单链DNA反式切割活力,其与crRNA/靶标DNA的复合物也可以切割旁路单链DNA。
对于作为引导作用的crRNA,经过人工修饰等改造后,在体系中会更加稳定。在核酸探针的选择上,本发明选用了HEX和BHQ1标记的短单链DNA,其他可检测的任何标记方式理论上都是适用的,只要该核酸探针被切割后产生可检测的差异。或者,核酸探针也可以设计成可以跟化合物结合后发荧光,从而探测是否该探针 被切断。
此外应理解,在阅读了本发明的上述讲授内容之后,本领域技术人员可以对本发明作各种改动或修改,这些等价形式同样落于本申请所附权利要求书所限定的范围。
