Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for modifying the genome of a dicotyledonous plant.
- Genome editing is a new technology that enables efficient and rapid introduction of genome modification. Genome editing techniques have been applied to many types of organisms.
- One widely used genome editing tool is the CRISPR / Cas9 (Short Palindromic Repeats / CRISPR-related 9) system with regularly spaced clusters.
- Cas9 enzyme Non-patent Document 1
- gRNA guide RNA
- the gRNA includes an RNA sequence (corresponding to crRNA) corresponding to an approximately 20 bp base sequence (target sequence) of a target site into which DNA modification is introduced, and an RNA sequence corresponding to trans-activated CRISPR RNA (tracrRNA).
- gRNA and Cas9 When gRNA and Cas9 are brought into contact with genomic DNA, gRNA is specifically detected via RNA-DNA base pairing at the target site located immediately before the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) required for Cas9 activity on the genome. It binds and mobilizes Cas9, which cleaves genomic DNA at the target site.
- PAM protospacer adjacent motif
- wild-type Cas9 produces a double-strand break (DSB) upstream of the PAM sequence.
- Genomic DNA breaks generated by DSB are religated by error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination repair (HDR).
- NHEJ error-prone non-homologous end joining
- HDR homologous recombination repair
- the CRISPR / Cas9 system has advantages such as ease of construct design and low cost.
- wild-type Cas9 can cause cleavage at the target external site by off-target action.
- Cas9 nickase in which mutation (D10A or H840A, respectively) is introduced into one of the two nuclease domains RuvC and HNH to inactivate one of the nucleases is also used.
- Such Cas9 nickase produces a nick in the single strand rather than a double strand break at the target site and is repaired by homologous recombination repair (HDR), thus reducing off-target effects.
- HDR homologous recombination repair
- Non-Patent Document 2 A method of introducing cutting is usually employed (Non-Patent Document 2).
- One of the biggest limitations of these CRISPR / Cas9 systems is that the mutation is mainly limited to insertional deletions. Insertion and deletion mutations in the genome are suitable for functional disruption of target genes, but DNA conversion (base substitution) is more important for the treatment of many human diseases and the improvement of agriculturally important crop traits. is there.
- single-base editing technology that causes DNA conversion has not been well established. For example, if a single-base editing technique that can be successfully used for genome editing of plants is established, it is useful to further accelerate the breeding of crops.
- Cytidine deaminase including activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of cytidine (C) to uridine (U), and ultimately from base C Conversion to T can be induced (Non-patent Document 3).
- Non-patent Documents 4 and 5 Catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) with two mutations (D10A and H840A) that inactivate nuclease activity in both the two nuclease domains RuvC and HNH, lamprey-derived CDA1 (PmCDA), human-derived CDA (APOBEC1 ) Or by fusing with rat-derived CDA (rAPOBEC1) (dCas9-CDA) and contacting it with DNA in yeast or mammalian cells together with gRNA. Can be converted into another base (base editing) (Non-patent Documents 4 and 5). It has also been reported that genome editing was performed in rice using a fusion protein of Cas9 nickase and cytidine deaminase (Non-patent Document 6).

To play. The variety Micro-Tom was used as the tomato plant.
- microtom seeds were aseptically sown on MS solid medium and germinated in a culture room at 25 ° C. for 16 hours.
- the germinated cotyledons were cut with scissors, immersed in an Agrobacterium solution holding the vector prepared in Experimental Example 1, and then cultured for 3 days on an MS solid medium containing 10 ⁇ M acetosyringone and zeatin 1.5 mg / L.
- callus was induced on an MS solid medium containing zeatin 1.5 mg / L and kanamycin 100 mg / L, and shoots were further induced on an MS solid medium containing zeatin 1 mg / L and kanamycin 100 mg / L.
- regenerated shoots from callus were cut out and rooted on MS solid medium containing kanamycin 50 mg / L to regenerate the plant body.
- the regenerated plant body (primary plant T 0 ) was cultivated and self-mated to obtain self-propagating seeds.
- a plant body was grown from the self-propagated seed (T 1 ), and further self-crossed to obtain a self-propagated seed (T 2 ), and the plant body was grown.
- All primary plants T 0 and progeny plants (T 1 , T 2 and F 1 ) were cultivated under a constant temperature of 25 ° C. under 200 ⁇ molm ⁇ 2 s ⁇ 1 light conditions (light conditions 16 hours / dark conditions 8 hours) .
- Example 3 Mutation analysis in transgenic plants
- genomic DNA was extracted from the leaves of the wild-type microtom plant and the transgenic plant obtained in Example 2.
- PCR amplification was performed using the obtained genomic DNA as a template and a target gene-specific primer.
- Table 2 shows the target gene-specific primers used.
- the amplified fragment was subcloned into plasmid pGEM-T Easy (Promega), introduced into E. coli, transformed, and cultured on an LB agar plate containing 100 ⁇ g / ml ampicillin. About the colony formed on the LB agar plate, the base sequence of the inserted amplified fragment was determined by the Sanger method using the target gene specific primer.
- the target the SlDELLA retained both also transgenic T O and T 1 plants were introduced optimized nCas9-PmCDA opt to codon usage of the inserted deletions and DNA conversion plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) (Table 3, 4 and 6).
- nCas9-PmCDA SlDELLA throughout transgenic plants targeting, system # 1 for lines # 1 and # 9, nCas9-PmCDA opt-introduced plant for five (nCas9-PmCDA transgenic plants of the transgenic lines 11, # 3 and # 27 ) Produced T 1 progeny plants with DNA conversion. This further shows that nCas9-PmCDA can induce heritable DNA conversion.
- T 1 transgenic line # 3 was introduced nCas9-PmCDA that target the SlETR1 site1, # 4, # 8 , # 9, # 11, # 13, and # 14, SlETR1 site2 were targeted nCas9-PmCDA opt the introduced T 1 transgenic line # 6-1, # 6-2, # 8-1 and # 8-2, and T 1 transgenic a SlETR1 site3 was introduced
- Cas9-PmCDA opt was targeted Insertion deletion and / or DNA conversion were confirmed in lines # 3, # 8, # 11, # 25a, # 25b, # 30, # 57 and # 72 (Table 7).
- SlETR1 site1 T 1 was introduced nCas9-PmCDA that target the transgenic lines # 13, SlETR1 site2 T 1 transgenic line # 6-1 was introduced nCas9-PmCDA opt that target the, # 6-2, # 8 -1 and # 8-2, as well SlETR1 site3 was targeted nCas9-PmCDA opt to introduce T 1 transgenic line # 3, # 8, # 11 , # 25a, # 25b, # 30, # 57 and # 72 Inheritance of insertion deletion and / or DNA conversion from T 0 plant to T 1 plant was observed (Table 5 and Table 7). The above results indicate that this base editing system can be applied to genes other than SlDELLA.
- T 1 plants (# 27_9) and T 2 plants (with a 12 base deletion and a 2 base substitution (replacement from CAC to tAt)) in the target sequence ( # 3_2_4) showed a phenotype similar to the tomato mutant procera with the SlDELLA-deficient allele (eg, leaflets with reduced saw blades) (FIG. 3).
- a selection marker gene was contained in the genome of a transgenic plant having a stable DNA modification.
- kanamycin PCR using a resistance marker gene (NPTII) amplification primer was performed.
- NPTII resistance marker gene

- SlDELLA have DNA transformation of the target sequence in homozygous or heterozygous or biallelic, SlETR1 site1, SlETR1 site2 or SlETR1 site3 transgenic T 1 that target the plants and T 2 plants, DNA transformation It was shown to have an amino acid substitution caused by.
- transgenic line # 1 (T 1 ) targeting SlDELLA and introducing nCas9-PmCDA and transgenic line # 1 (T 2 ) targeting SlDELLA and introducing nCas9-PmCDA opt
- Amino acid substitution, ie PL (proline-leucine) ⁇ LV (leucine-valine) was shown (FIG. 5). This indicates that the base editing technique used in the present invention can induce amino acid sequence substitution.
- the mutation can be retained while the marker gene is excluded in the progeny of some of the plants into which the mutation has been introduced.
- the method of the present invention can induce DNA conversion at a target site, and can promote induction of site-specific genetic mutations in tomato plants. Since many agronomically important traits are dominated by single nucleotide polymorphisms, the method of the present invention can be advantageously used in crop breeding.
