Problems solved by technology

And in the process of cell screening, some can't even get positive single cell clones
If three clonings are required to achieve gene knockout cattle without resistance genes, it will take at least 42 months, which is a long cycle and high risk

Embodiment 1Z

[0034] Screening and knockout efficiency of embodiment 1 ZFN expression vector

[0035] 1. Screening of ZFNs

[0036] BLG (NC_007309.4) gene sequence information was obtained from the NCBI website, and the ZFNs design was completed by Sigma Company, and the designed ZFNs sites were located on exons 1 and 2. ZFNs-Set1 and ZFNs-Set 2 act on the first exon, and ZFNs-Set 3 acts on the second exon. The DNA sequences they act on are:

[0037] ZFNs-Set 1: CC CAGGCCCTCATTGTC ACCC AGACCATGAAGGGCCTG GA;

[0038] ZFNs-Set 2: AG GCCCTCATTGTCAC CCAGACC ATGAAGGGCCTGGAT AT;

[0039] ZFNs-Set 3: CC CAGAGTGCCCCCCTGAGA GTGTA TGTGGAGGAGCTGAA GC.

[0040] The underlined parts are zinc finger protein binding sequences, and the middle part is the FokI endonuclease cleavage site. The corresponding three ZFNs expression vectors are: PZFN1 / PZFN2-set 1, PZFN1 / PZFN2-set 2 and PZFN1 / PZFN2-set 3. All three expression vectors can function in yeast, refer to Doyon et al., Nat Biotechnol, (...

Embodiment 2

[0053] Example 2 Obtaining of Single Cell Clones and Identification of Gene Knockout Clones

[0054] 1. Obtaining of single cell clones

[0055] Using the AMAXA electroporation instrument to electrotransfer bovine fibroblasts, using optimized electrotransfer parameters T-016, the gene transfection efficiency can reach more than 90%. The transfected genetic material is mRNA, and the half-life in the cell is about 8 hours. There will be no random insertion into the cell genome when the DNA is transfected, which has a good guarantee for the genetic stability of the animal. At the same time, there will be no random integration of resistance genes, which meets the requirements of biological safety.

[0056] Specific operation method: using the plasmid pBudCE-ZFN1-2 as a template, the in vitro transcribed mRNA was recovered and purified with a kit from Applied Biosystems, and eluted with DEPC water to make the final concentration about 500 ng / μl. The mRNA corresponding to a pair o...

Embodiment 3

[0060] Example 3 Preparation of embryos of gene knockout single-cell clones and cloned cattle

[0061] 1. Preparation of knockout cattle

[0062] The specific process includes:

[0063] (1) Holstein cow fetal fibroblast culture

[0064] Fetal ear tissues of 40-day-old Holstein cows were taken, and the bovine fetal fibroblast cell line was established through primary culture, subculture, freezing and other in vitro culture operations.

[0065] (2) Gene knockout single cell clone

[0066] The acquisition of gene knockout single cell clones is the same as in Example 2.

[0067] (3) Transgenic cloned embryo preparation and embryo transfer

[0068] Collect the ovaries of adult cattle from the slaughterhouse, take follicles with a diameter of 2-8 mm, and recover the cumulus-oocyte-complex with uniform shape and compact structure, and divide the cumulus-oocyte-complex into 50-60 pieces Put each hole into a four-well plate containing maturation solution (M199+10% fetal bovine ser...

Abstract

A method for knocking out bovine beta-lactoglobulin gene by using zinc finger nucleases is provided, in which zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) specific binding domains targeting the specific sequences in bovine beta-lactoglobulin gene are designed according to the sequence of the gene and the expression vector comprising the nucleotides encoding these ZFNs are transducted into bovine fibroblast, thus the cell with beta-lactoglobulin gene knocked out is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a method for knocking out bovine β-lactoglobulin gene by using zinc finger nuclease. Background technique [0002] Gene targeting technology is a technology that changes the genetic information of organisms in a targeted manner. The two limiting factors of conventional gene targeting animal production are: first, the gene targeting efficiency of animal somatic cells is very low, 10 -6 ~10 -7 ; Second, the time period for producing biallelic knockout animals is long and the cloning efficiency is low. With the continuous development of molecular biology, many new technologies and methods have emerged to improve the efficiency of gene targeting, such as the use of gene targeting strategies without promoter selection, the isolation and induction of stem cells in animals, and so on. However, these improvements have not significantly promoted the production of gene-target...
