A kit for breeding a pig breed with resistance to the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus infection and application thereof. The systems includes a genetically edited protein, pAPN-sgRNA-1, pAPN-sgRNA-2, and a donor DNA. Effectively enzymatic cleavage can be made in two target sites of a pAPN gene by the gene editing protein. By replacing the fragment to be site-directed modified located between two target sites with donor DNA, a codon encoding tryptophan at position 737 in pAPN protein can be mutated to a codon encoding alanine, thereby achieving precise mutation of tryptophan to alanine at position 737 in a pAPN protein. The systems can avoid disruption or alteration of the normal expression of other amino acids in pAPN protein, therefore, the present invention maximally retains the physiological activity function of pAPN protein on the basis of resisting TGEV infection.

Kit for breeding a TGEV infection resistant pig and use thereof

The present invention provides a pAPN mutant and a composition for site-directed modification of pAPN gene and application thereof, involving the field of gene editing technology. The mutated pAPN mutant with an alanine at position 734 can maintain its normal expression, while reducing the ability of a host expressing the pAPN mutant to specifically bind to TGEV, which has important scientific and practical significance in pig disease resistance breeding.
