摘要:

CRISPR/Cas系统是一种广泛存在于细菌和古细菌中的适应性免疫系统,通过RNA介导的核酸内切酶靶向识别并切割特定的核酸片段,以抵御外来核酸入侵。根据效应蛋白复合物的组成不同,CRISPR/Cas系统可分为两大类:Ⅰ类CRISPR/Cas系统利用多个Cas蛋白组成的效应复合物与crRNA共同作用来发挥靶链切割功能,而Ⅱ类CRISPR/Cas系统则由单个多结构域蛋白组成效应子模块。其中,单一组分效应蛋白介导的Ⅱ类CRISPR基因编辑技术相对简便,近年来已被广泛应用于细菌基因表达调控、遗传修饰、代谢途径优化以及病原微生物检测等合成生物学相关领域。根据Cas效应蛋白核酸酶结构域的差异,Ⅱ类系统又可进一步分为Ⅱ型、V型和VI型三个亚型,不同亚型的系统在细菌合成生物学中的应用也存在差异。本文综述了Ⅱ类CRISPR-Cas系统的免疫学机制、分类与特点,及其在工业细菌中的应用现状与最新进展,旨在为未来细菌合成生物学研究中选择、优化和探索更多的CRISPR/Cas系统提供参考。

Abstract:

The CRISPR/Cas system is an adaptive immune system widely present in bacteria and archaea. It targets and cleaves specific nucleic acid sequences using RNA-guided nucleases to defend against foreign nucleic acid invasion. Based on the composition of effector protein complexes, the CRISPR/Cas system can be divided into two main classes: Class I systems utilize effector complexes composed of multiple Cas proteins, acting together with crRNA to exert target cleavage function, while Class II systems consist of single, multi-domain protein effector modules. Among them, the single-component effector protein-mediated Class II CRISPR gene editing technology is relatively straightforward and has been widely applied in synthetic biology fields such as bacterial gene expression regulation, genetic modification, metabolic pathway optimization, and pathogenic microorganism detection. Based on the differences in the Cas effector protein nuclease domains, Class II systems can further be categorized into subtypes II, V, and VI, each exhibiting differences in their applications in bacterial synthetic biology. This article reviews the immunological mechanisms, classification, and characteristics of Class II CRISPR-Cas systems, as well as their current applications and the latest developments in industrial bacteria, aiming to provide a reference for future research in bacterial synthetic biology to select, optimize, and explore more CRISPR/Cas systems.
