Description

[0002] Botulinum neurotoxin type E-specific polypeptides and uses thereof,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a polypeptide specifically binding to a botulinum neurotoxin type E, a polynucleotide encoding the same, a recombinant vector, a transformant and a method for producing the same. A kit for detecting the botulinum neurotoxin E type and botulinum toxinosis diagnosis using the polypeptide, and a method of detecting and diagnosing the bot.

Botulinum toxinosis is a forcible infectious disease of the 4th group caused by botulinum neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum , a gram-positive anaerobic bacterium, which causes severe diastolic nerve palsy. Botulinum neurotoxin is one of the most potent toxins produced in nature and one of the most dangerous biological terrorist weapons of Class A, along with anthrax, fest, and potholes, among the categories selected by the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In particular, botulinum toxin is a fatal toxin produced by bacteria, and the toxin itself has a strong killing effect.

Botulinum neurotoxin is classified into eight serotypes (A to H) according to antigen specificity, among which A, B, and E cause diseases in the human body, and F type is rare. C and D are present in mammals other than birds and humans, and the mechanism of action and specificity of the G-type have not been clearly established (see Table 1 below). E-type Clostridium botulinum bacteria producing E-type are mainly isolated from Suseo area and are related to the occurrence of botulinum toxin by seafood or fish.

Botulinum neurotoxin serotype host A Human, mink, pearl B Human, horse, cattle C Horse, Cattle, Sheep, Dog, Bird D Introduce E Human, bird, mink, pearl F human G Not revealed H human

The botulinum toxin is composed of heavy chain (100 kDa), light chain (50 kDa) and hemagglutinin (Non-Patent Document 1). After the botulinum toxin enters the neuronal cytoplasm, the protein SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors), a protein associated with the neurotransmitter, is degraded to render acetylcholine non-secreted from the neuron. The muscle contraction does not occur, and the relaxation state is maintained constantly, resulting in a relaxation paralysis symptom.

Since the action of botulinum toxin is an irreversible reaction, the diagnosis of botulinum toxin should be made at the early stage of clinical manifestation before the botulinum toxin is completely bound, so that effective clinical management is possible.

The international standard test method for diagnosing botulinum toxinosis and toxin identification has been internationally accepted as a mouse test method. Currently, the laboratory diagnosis process includes sample pretreatment, mouse test, ELISA for botulinum toxin identification, . However, the mouse test has problems such as animal ethics, sensitivity, and promptness, and it is difficult to anaerobically cultivate botulinum. For botulinum neurotoxin type E, diagnosis and detection methods are relatively inferior to other serotypes A and B, which are human hosts.

After that, Blocking buffer (0.1 M NaHCO 3 (pH 8.6), 5 mg / ml BSA) was added, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour by shaking at 50 rpm to proceed blocking of the beads. The blocked beads were washed five times with 1X PBST (0.1% [v / v] Tween-20). The phage library reaction solution bound to botulinum neurotoxin type E was added to washed Ni-NTA agarose beads and allowed to react at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2.3 Cleaning process

After the separation process, 1 ml of 1X PBST (0.1% [v / v] Tween-20) buffer was added to the suspension to remove the phage that did not bind to the target protein, and the mixture was centrifuged (13,000 rpm, , 10 minutes). The above washing process was performed 10 times in total.

2.4 Retrieval of Phases

After the washing process, an acidic solution of pH 2.2 was treated and eluted for 10 minutes in order to elute the phage binding to the botulinum neurotoxin type E to separate the phage and the botulinum neurotoxin E type. After centrifugation (13,000 rpm, 10 minutes, 4 ℃), only the supernatant was recovered and the digestion was obtained. 150 .mu.l of a basic solution of pH 9.0 was treated to neutralize the lowered pH in the elution step, finally recovering the botulinum neurotoxin E-type specific binding protein.

2.5 phage amplification process

To introduce the same amount of phage into the next round, the eluted phage was introduced into host E. coli ER 2738 to amplify the botulinum neurotoxin E type specific binding phage. Initial log phase E. coli To the ER2738 culture medium, 500 쨉 l of a phage eluent was added, followed by shaking culture for 4 hours and 30 minutes (37 캜, 200 rpm). E. coli infected with phage The supernatant was collected by centrifugation (4000 rpm, 30 minutes, 4 ° C) of the ER2738 culture. 20% PEG / 2.5M NaCl solution was added to the recovered supernatant, and the supernatant was allowed to stand overnight at 4 ° C to precipitate the phage. Thereafter, washing with 1X PBS buffer (pH 7.4) was repeated to remove remaining cells. Thereafter, 200 μl of 1 × PBS buffer (pH 7.4) was suspended and the amplified fragments were recovered. However, the phage library that carried out the third round was not amplified.

2.6 Sound selection ( Negative selection ) To remove the nonspecific phage

In addition to botulinum neurotoxin type E, which is a target protein, negative selection was performed between 2 rounds and 3 rounds to remove phage binding to Eppendorf tubes. In the absence of botulinum neurotoxin E, the binding process with the phage library proceeded. During the separation process with Ni-NTA agarose beads, non-pellet-binding supernatant was removed to remove nonspecific binding phage to botulinum neurotoxin type E, But only the combined wave was recovered. After the phage screening, the phage obtained were not subjected to proper titration, but immediately followed by another round with the botulinum neurotoxin E type added thereto.

3. Repetitive Panning  Fuzzy titration for course progression

3.1. Fuzzy titration Phage titering ) process

The phage obtained through one round of panning and the phage amplified by infecting the host were measured by PFU through the titration process. E. coli 5 ml of the ER2738 culture medium was cultured to the mid-log phase (OD 600 ? 0.5) and 200 占 퐇 was dispensed into Eppendorf tubes. The obtained phages were prepared by dilution stepwise, and 200 μl of E. coli 10 μl of the ER2738 culture medium and phage dilution was reacted at room temperature for 3 minutes. The reaction solution was placed in a top agar containing 0.7% agar, mixed evenly, and poured into an LB plate containing IPTG and X-gal. The frozen plates were incubated overnight (37 ° C) and the blue plaques formed on the plates were counted to determine the PFU. PFU was calculated by multiplying the number of plaque in blue, the dilution factor, and the reciprocal of the volume of the reaction solution. In the titration process, the amount of phage and the amount of phage released for each round were calculated and the recovery ratio was calculated using the results (see Table 2).

Figure 112015108598450-pat00001

round Phage input ( pfu / ml ) Phage release ( pfu / ml ) Recovery rate Round 1 1.95 × 10 13 1.405 × 10 8 7.21 x 10 -6 Round 2 1.95 × 10 13 6.6 x 10 8 3.38 × 10 -5 Voice selection 1.95 × 10 13 1.76 x 10 9 9.03 × 10 -5 Round 3 1.95 × 10 13 2.012 × 10 9 1.03 × 10 -4

Recovery rate increased from 7.21 × 10 -6 to 1.03 × 10 -4 , especially after negative selection, the amount of phage was increased. This means that the specific binding phage is gradually enriched in the botulinum neurotoxin E type.

4. Identification of random peptide sequences

4.1 Phage amplification process for single strand DNA extraction

Prepare IPTG, X-gal containing LB plate cultured for titration of 3 round phage eluent. The number of blue plaques formed on the LB plate was 100 or less, and the plates were set within 3 days after the incubation. In addition, 300 ml of the E. coli ER2738 seed culture was inoculated into 30 ml of the LB liquid medium, and each ml was dispensed into a test tube. Twenty plaques on the plate were inoculated into each test tube and incubated for 4 hours and 30 minutes with shaking (37 ° C, 200 rpm). After culturing, centrifugation (13,000 rpm, 30 seconds) was repeatedly carried out to recover only the cell-free supernatant and to obtain a purging eluent.

4.2 Single strand DNA extraction of botulinum neurotoxin E-type specific binding phage

200 쨉 l of a 20% PEG / 2.5M NaCl solution was added to 500 쨉 l of the phage eluent which had been amplified, and the phage was precipitated by incubating at room temperature for 20 minutes. The supernatant was then removed by repeated centrifugation (13,000 rpm, 4 캜, 10 min). 100 쨉 l of Iodide buffer was added to remove the surface proteins of the phage. After that, 250 쨉 l of pure ethanol was added, followed by incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation (13,000 rpm, 4 ° C, 10 minutes), and the phage pellet was washed with 70% ethanol. Single-stranded DNA was extracted from the washed pellet by suspending 30 占 퐇 of 1 占 TE buffer in an aliquot.

4.3 Random Peptide Sequencing and Sequencing of the Phage Library

In the single stranded DNA of the extracted phage, the random peptide sequence was amplified by PCR. The PCR reaction composition was 1 μl of template DNA, 5 μl of 10 × PCR buffer, 4 μl of each 2.5 mM dNTP mixture, 2 μl of 10 pmol forward primer, 2 pmol of 10 pmol reverse primer, 0.3 占 퐇 (1 unit / 占 퐇) of Ex Taq polymerase (Takara, Japan) and 35.7 占 퐇 of distilled water.
