摘要
为建立能够应用于大肠杆菌基因无痕敲除的方法,本研究分别从大肠杆菌TG1基因组和pKD13质粒中扩增出链霉素敏感基因(str~S,即rpsL基因)和卡那抗性基因(kan~R),采用重叠延伸PCR方法将str~S基因和kan~R基因拼接,并将拼接片段分别克隆于pMD18-T和pBAD33载体中,再以重组载体为模板,以带有flgK基因同源臂的引物扩增获得Placstr~S-kan~R打靶片段和Parastr~S-kan~R打靶片段,然后结合Red重组技术构建了相应的flgK基因敲除菌株placSK-ΔflgK/TOP10和paraSK-ΔflgK/TOP10,并通过链霉素最小抑菌浓度(MIC)试验检测两种筛选系统的反向筛选性能。结果显示,野生型TOP10菌株、placSK-ΔflgK/TOP10菌株和paraSK-ΔflgK/TOP10菌株的链霉素MIC值分别为8 000μg/mL、2 000μg/mL和500μg/mL。表明采用两种筛选系统构建的敲除菌株均有一定的链霉素敏感表型,具有反向筛选的能力,但含Para启动子的筛选系统反向筛选性能更好。本研究建立了可用于大肠杆菌Red重组技术的反向筛选系统,为获得更有效的Red重组筛选工具提供了依据。
To develop a method for deleting genes without leaving a selection marker in Escherichia coli, the str~S-kan~R cassette with promoter lac or arabinose were constructed. And then the counter-selection cassette was electroporated into TOP10 strain after flanked by homology arms of flgK gene to produce recombinant strains of TOP10_PlacSK_ΔflgK and TOP10_ParaSK_ΔflgK.Moreover, the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) assay was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of streptomycin for recombinant strains. The results showed that the MIC of wild type TOP10 strain, TOP10_PlacSK_ΔflgK strain and TOP10_ParaSK_ΔflgK strain were 8,000μg/mL, 2,000μg/mL and 500μg/mL respectively, which indicated that both recombinant strains were sensitive to streptomycin, and the counter-selection efficiency of the str~S-kan~R cassette with promoter arabinose was much better. This study established a counter-selection system for deleting genes in E.coli and provided foundations for optimization of Red recombination.
