Temperature-Dependent Affinity Changes in Substrate Binding Affect the Cleavage Activity of BthC2c1.
Background: The CRISPR-Cas system is an adaptive immune mechanism for bacteria and archaea to resist foreign invasion. Currently, Cas9 and Cpf1 have been widely studied and applied in gene editing. C2c1 is a newly discovered CRISPR-Cas system endonuclease. It has broad application prospects due to its small molecular weight and high substrate recognition specificity.
Objectives: Bacillus thermoamylovorans C2c1(BthC2c1) was expressed in E. coli C43 (DE3) competent cells, purified, and the BthC2c1-sgRNA-dsDNA complex was assembled. The effect of temperature on the cleavage ability of the BthC2c1 system was investigated.
Methods: The cDNA of BthC2c1 was cloned into the vector pGEX-6P-1. BthC2c1 was expressed in E. coli C43(DE3) cells and purified using a GST affinity column and FPLC. The sgRNAs were transcribed and purified in vitro, and the complexes were assembled by gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme cleavage activity of BthC2c1 at different temperatures was investigated using an in vitro cleavage assay. Microscale Thermophoresis detected the affinity of the BthC2c1-sgRNA complexes to substrate DNA.
Results: BthC2c1 proteins were prokaryotically expressed and purified. The complex of BthC2c1 with sgRNA and dsDNA was assembled. In vitro cleavage assay results showed that BthC2c1 cleaved the target DNA at temperatures ranging from 37°C to 67°C. The cleavage ability of BthC2c1 at 42oC was stronger than that at 37oC. The results of affinity detection showed that the affinity between the BthC2c1-sgRNA complex and ds36/36 at 42oC was stronger than that at 37oC.
Conclusion: In this study, BthC2c1 was expressed, purified, and assembled into a complex with sgRNA and dsDNA. BthC2c1 cleaved DNA within the temperature range of 37oC to 67oC. The affinity of BthC2c1-sgRNA to DNA at 42°C was significantly enhanced than that at 37°C. It may be related to its stringent substrate recognition pattern, which differs from Cas9 and Cpf1. The temperature-dependent affinity changes of substrate binding may be part of the reason for the stronger cleavage activity of BthC2c1 at 42oC. This study may provide an experimental basis for optimizing and modifying the C2c1 gene editing system.
期刊介绍:
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
