Embodiment 1

[0080] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the Alu element-based circular RNA expression framework of the present invention. Referring to the Alu element information annotated in the RepeatMasker database, based on the conserved sequence of the Alu element of about 40nt, design Alu1 and Alu2 with a length of 300nt, and then design the 200nt intron splicing recognition sequence SRS1 and SRS2 based on the splicing pattern of snRNP. Use RNAfold to predict the secondary structure of the sequence, modify and adjust bases to make Alu1 and Alu2 reverse complementary to form a stable hairpin structure, keep the minimum free energy less than -350.00kcal / mol, adjust and modify bases to make SRS1 and SRS2 form a neck The ring structure, and not paired with the Alu sequence, maintains a minimum free energy greater than -50kcal / mol. Finally, the length of Alu1 is 200nt such as SEQ ID NO:1, the length of Alu2 is 200nt such as SEQ ID NO:5, the length of SRS1 is 153nt suc...

Abstract

The invention relates to a circular RNA expression framework based on an Alu element. The framework is characterized by including one or more Alu elements, one or more restriction enzyme cut sites, one or more splicing recognition sequences, one or more cyclization mediating sequences, a splicing acceptor sequence, a splicing donor sequence and one or more circular RNA sequences. The framework ishigher in universality, can be used for different circular RNAs of different species, can be generally applied for natural and artificially designed circular RNA sequences, and can achieve precise cyclization overexpression for circular RNAs having 200-2500 nt. The framework has high cyclization accuracy, wherein cyclization splicing after overexpression is accurate, precise splicing at AG-GT positions during cyclization is achieved through combination of SRS and IS, and cyclized circular RNAs are free of base addition or deletion. The framework has a high overexpression efficiency, with cyclization overexpression effects being stable, and circular RNAs are significantly overeexpressed by 50 times or tens of thousands of times under the precise of accurate cyclization. The framework is widely applied, is suitable for various demands such as cell transient expression, stable cell expression and animal expression, and is provided with GFP and puromycin resistance gene to enable marking and screening.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to an Alu repeat element-based precise circular RNA expression framework and a vector construction method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Circular RNAs (circular RNAs, circRNAs) are a class of RNA molecules with a closed circular structure, which widely exist in species such as archaea, nematodes, mice, rats, and humans, and their expression has certain tissue and timing specificity. , and not easily degraded by exonucleases, more stable than linear RNA. A large number of studies have shown that circular RNA can act as miRNA sponge, interact with polymerase II (RNA polymerase II, Pol II) to regulate host transcriptional activity, directly translate proteins and other functional pathways in brain development, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and tumors It plays an important role in the occurrence of circRNAs, suggesting the potential of cir...
