Specifically, the present invention describes a new polypeptide ~~ Λ interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor 11 and a polynucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide. The invention also relates to a preparation method and application of the polynucleotide and polypeptide.
白细胞介素 -13 (IL-13)是一种细胞因子, 可以产生几种生物活性: 诱导 IgG4以及 IgE转换,甚至是在人体非成熟 B细胞中(Punnonen et a l. , J. Immunol. 152: 1094 (1994) ) ; 诱导 IgE 重链的种系 (eps i lon ) 转录以及在正常人体 B 细胞中的 CD23表达(Punnonen et a l. , Proc. Nat l. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 3730 (1993) ); 在 CD40L或反- CD40单克隆抗体存在的情况下诱导 B细胞增殖(Cocks et al. , Int. Immunol. 5: 657 (1993) )。 IL- 13 与 IL-4 的多种活性都非常相 似,但 IL-13在激活 T细胞或 T细胞克隆方面不具有生长启动效应(Zurawski et a l. , ΕΜΒΟ J. 12: 2663 (1993) )。 Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a cytokine that can produce several biological activities: Induction of IgG4 and IgE conversion, even in human immature B cells (Punnonen et al., J. Immunol. 152 : 1094 (1994)); induces germline (eps i lon) transcription of IgE heavy chains and CD23 expression in normal human B cells (Punnonen et a l., Proc. Nat l. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 3730 (1993)); induce B cell proliferation in the presence of CD40L or anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies (Cocks et al., Int. Immunol. 5: 657 (1993)). Many activities of IL-13 and IL-4 are very similar, but IL-13 does not have a growth-initiating effect in activating T cells or T cell clones (Zurawski et al., ΕΜΒΟ J. 12: 2663 (1993)) .
白细胞介素 -13 (IL-13)受体是一种细胞表面受体, 它特异性结合 IL-13 并介导各种细胞类型中的各种生理反应。 如同多数细胞因子一样, IL-13 在靶 细胞表面通过与 IL-13受体相互作用而显示特定的生物活性。 IL-13受体与 IL-4 受体具有一个共同的组分, 这是受体活性所需的; 除此之外, IL- 13 受体还至 少含有一个其他的特异性结合 IL-13链, 细胞因子通常含有二或三条链, IL- 13 受体含有三条配体结合链(Hi l ton et a l., Proc. Nat l. Acad. Sc i. 93: 497- 501)。 肿瘤细胞尤其是诸如肾细胞癌等癌症, 其中 IL- 13的过度表达达到极高 的水平。 IL- 13 受体可特异性传送效应物 IL-13 至目标肿瘤细胞 (尤其是肾癌 细胞) , 而比其他类似的嵌合分子更少地与健康细胞结合, 因而用药量也相对 减少。  Interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor is a cell surface receptor that specifically binds IL-13 and mediates various physiological responses in various cell types. Like most cytokines, IL-13 displays specific biological activity on the surface of target cells by interacting with the IL-13 receptor. The IL-13 receptor and the IL-4 receptor have a common component, which is required for the activity of the receptor; in addition, the IL-13 receptor also contains at least one other specific binding IL-13 chain Cytokines usually contain two or three chains, and the IL-13 receptor contains three ligand-binding chains (Hi l ton et al., Proc. Nat l. Acad. Sci. 93: 497-501). Tumor cells, especially cancers such as renal cell carcinoma, in which IL-13 is overexpressed to extremely high levels. The IL-13 receptor can specifically deliver effector IL-13 to target tumor cells (especially kidney cancer cells), and binds less to healthy cells than other similar chimeric molecules, so the amount of drug used is relatively reduced.

The isolation of new human interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor 11 protein-coding genes also provides a basis for research to determine the role of this protein in health and disease states. This protein may form the basis for developing diagnostic and / or therapeutic drugs for the disease, so it is important to isolate its code for DM. Object of the invention

"同源性" 是指互补的程度, 可以是部分同源或完全同源。 "部分同源" 是指一种部分互补的序列, 其至少可部分抑制完全互补的序列与靶核酸的杂 交。 这种杂交的抑制可通过在严格性程度降低的条件下进行杂交 (Southern印 迹或 Northern印迹等) 来检测。 基本上同源的序列或杂交探针可竞争和抑制完 全同源的序列与靶序列在严格性程度降低的条件下的结合。 这并不意味严格性 程度降低的条件允许非特异性结合, 因为严格性程度降低的条件要求两条序列 相互的结合为特异性或选择性相互作用。  "Homology" refers to the degree of complementarity and can be partially homologous or completely homologous. "Partial homology" refers to a partially complementary sequence that at least partially inhibits hybridization of a fully complementary sequence to a target nucleic acid. This inhibition of hybridization can be detected by performing hybridization (Southern imprinting or Northern blotting, etc.) under conditions of reduced stringency. Substantially homologous sequences or hybridization probes can compete and inhibit the binding of fully homologous sequences to target sequences under conditions of reduced stringency. This does not mean that the conditions of reduced stringency allow non-specific binding, because the conditions of reduced stringency require that the two sequences bind to each other as a specific or selective interaction.

P. M. Sharp (1988) Gene 73: 237-244) 0 Clus ter法通过检查所有配对之间的 距离将各组序列排列成簇。 然后将各簇以成对或成组分配。 两个氨基酸序列如 序列 A和序列 B之间的相同性百分率通过下式计算: PM Sharp (1988) Gene 73: 237-244) 0 Clus ter method by examining the distances between all pairs of each set of sequence arranged in clusters. The clusters are then assigned in pairs or groups. The percent identity between two amino acid sequences such as sequence A and sequence B is calculated by the following formula:
序列 与序列 之间匹配的残基个数  Number of residues between sequence and sequence
序列 ^的残基数 -序列 ^中间隔残基数 -序列 S中间隔残基数 X The residues in the sequence ^ - ^ interval residues in the sequence - the sequence of residues X interval S
也可以通过 Clus ter法或用本领域周知的方法如 Jotun Hein 测定核酸序列 之间的相同性百分率(Hein L , (1990) Methods in enzymology 183: 625-645) 0 "相似性 " 是指氨基酸序列之间排列对比时相应位置氨基酸残基的相同 或保守性取代的程度。 用于保守性取代的氨基酸, 例如带负电荷的氨基酸可包 括天冬氨酸和谷氨酸; 带正电荷的氨基酸可包括赖氨酸和精氨酸; 具有不带电 荷的头部基团有相似亲水性的氨基酸可包括亮氨酸、 异亮氨酸和缬氨酸; 甘氨 酸和丙氨酸; 天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺; 丝氨酸和苏氨酸; 苯丙氨酸和酪氨酸。 Can also Clus ter or a method well known in the art such as the Jotun Hein measuring the percentage identity between nucleic acid sequences (Hein L, (1990) Methods in enzymology 183: 625-645) 0 "Similarity" refers to the degree of identical or conservative substitutions of amino acid residues at corresponding positions in the alignment of amino acid sequences. Amino acids used for conservative substitution, for example, negatively charged amino acids may include aspartic acid and glutamic acid; positively charged amino acids may include lysine and arginine; having an uncharged head group is Similar hydrophilic amino acids may include leucine, isoleucine and valine; glycine and alanine; asparagine and glutamine; serine and threonine; phenylalanine and tyrosine.
"反义" 是指与特定的 DM或 RM序列互补的核苷酸序列。 "反义链" 是指 与 "有义链" 互补的核酸链。  "Antisense" refers to a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a particular DM or RM sequence. "Antisense strand" refers to a nucleic acid strand that is complementary to a "sense strand."
"衍生物" 是指 HFP或编码其核酸的化学修饰物。 这种化学修饰物可以是 用烷基、 酰基或氨基替换氢原子。 核酸衍生物可编码保留天然分子的主要生物 学特性的多肽。  "Derivative" refers to HFP or a chemical modification of its nucleic acid. This chemical modification may be the replacement of a hydrogen atom with an alkyl, acyl or amino group. Nucleic acid derivatives can encode polypeptides that retain the main biological properties of natural molecules.

This sequence will specifically target a specific position on a human chromosome and can hybridize to it. Currently, specific sites for each gene on the chromosome need to be identified. Currently, only a few chromosome markers based on actual sequence data (repeating polymorphisms) are available for marking chromosome positions. According to the present invention, in order to associate these sequences with disease-related genes, an important first step is to locate these DNA sequences on a chromosome.
简而言之, 根据 cDNA制备 PCR引物(优选 15-35bp) , 可以将序列定位于染色 体上。 然后, 将这些引物用于 PCR筛选含各条人染色体的体细胞杂合细胞。 只 有那些含有相应于引物的人基因的杂合细胞会产生扩增的片段。  In short, a PCR primer (preferably 15-35bp) is prepared from the cDNA, and the sequence can be located on the chromosome. These primers were then used for PCR screening of somatic hybrid cells containing individual human chromosomes. Only those heterozygous cells containing the human gene corresponding to the primer will produce amplified fragments.
体细胞杂合细胞的 PCR定位法, 是将 DM定位到具体染色体的快捷方法。 使 用本发明的寡核苷酸引物, 通过类似方法, 可利用一组来自特定染色体的片段 或大量基因组克隆而实现亚定位。 可用于染色体定位的其它类似策略包括原位 杂交、 用标记的流式分选的染色体预筛选和杂交预选, 从而构建染色体特异的 cDNA库。  PCR localization of somatic hybrid cells is a quick way to localize DM to specific chromosomes. Using the oligonucleotide primers of the present invention, in a similar manner, a set of fragments from a specific chromosome or a large number of genomic clones can be used to achieve sublocalization. Other similar strategies that can be used for chromosomal localization include in situ hybridization, chromosome pre-screening with labeled flow sorting, and pre-selection of hybridization to construct chromosome-specific cDNA libraries.
将 cDM克隆与中期染色体进行荧光原位杂交(FISH) , 可以在一个步骤中精 确地进行染色体定位。此技术的综述参见 Verma等, Human Chromosomes: a Manual of Bas ic Techniques, Pergamon Pres s, New York (1988)。  Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of cDM clones with metaphase chromosomes allows precise chromosomal localization in one step. For a review of this technique, see Verma et al., Human Chromosomes: a Manual of Basic Techniques, Pergamon Pres s, New York (1988).
一旦序列被定位到准确的染色体位置, 此序列在染色体上的物理位置就可 以与基因图数据相关联。 这些数据可见于 V. Mckus ick,Mendel ian Inher i tance in Man (可通过与 Johns Hopkins Univers i ty Welch Medica l Library联机获 得)。 然后可通过连锁分析, 确定基因与业已定位到染色体区域上的疾病之间 的关系。  Once the sequence is located at the exact chromosomal location, the physical location of the sequence on the chromosome can be correlated with the genetic map data. These data can be found in V. Mckusick, Mendelian ian Inherance in Man (available online with Johns Hopkins University Welch Medical Library). Linkage analysis can then be used to determine the relationship between genes and diseases that have been mapped to chromosomal regions.
接着, 需要测定患病和未患病个体间的 cDNA或基因组序列差异。 如果在一 些或所有的患病个体中观察到某突变, 而该突变在任何正常个体中未观察到, 则该突变可能是疾病的病因。 比较患病和未患病个体, 通常涉及首先寻找染色 体中结构的变化, 如从染色体水平可见的或用基于 cDNA序列的 PCR可检测的缺 失或易位。 根据目前的物理作图和基因定位技术的分辨能力, 被精确定位至与 疾病有关的染色体区域的 cDM, 可以是 50至 500个潜在致病基因间之一种(假定 1兆碱基作图分辨能力和每 20kb对应于一个基因)。 Next, the differences in cDNA or genomic sequences between the affected and unaffected individuals need to be determined. If a mutation is observed in some or all diseased individuals and the mutation is not observed in any normal individuals, the mutation may be the cause of the disease. Comparing affected and unaffected individuals usually involves first looking for structural changes in the chromosome, such as deletions or translocations that are visible at the chromosomal level or detectable using cDNA sequence-based PCR. According to the resolution capabilities of current physical mapping and gene mapping technology, the CDM that is accurately mapped to a chromosomal region associated with a disease can be one of 50 to 500 potentially pathogenic genes (assuming 1 megabase mapping capability and every 20kb corresponds to a gene).

Example 6 Application of the polynucleotide fragment of the present invention as a hybridization probe

For example, the probes can be used to hybridize to the genome or CDM library of normal tissue or pathological tissue from different sources to It is determined whether it contains the polynucleotide sequence of the present invention and a homologous polynucleotide sequence is detected. Further, the probe can be used to detect the polynucleotide sequence of the present invention or its homologous polynucleotide sequence in normal tissue or pathology. Whether the expression in tissue cells is abnormal.
本实施例的目的是从本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1中挑选出合适的寡核苷 酸片段用作杂交探针, 并用滤膜杂交方法鉴定一些组织中是否含有本发明的多核 苷酸序列或其同源的多核苷酸序列。 滤膜杂交方法包括斑点印迹法、 Southern 印 迹法、 Northern 印迹法和复印方法等, 它们都是将待测的多核苷酸样品固定在滤 膜上后使用基本相同的步骤杂交。 这些相同的步骤是: 固定了样品的滤膜首先用 不含探针的杂交缓冲液进行预杂交, 以使滤膜上样品的非特异性的结合部位被载 体和合成的多聚物所饱和。 然后预杂交液被含有标记探针的杂交缓冲液替换, 并 保温使探针与靶核酸杂交。 杂交步骤之后, 未杂交上的探针被一系列洗膜步骤除 掉。 本实施例利用较高强度的洗膜条件(如较低盐浓度和较高的温度), 以使杂交 背景降低且只保留特异性强的信号。 本实施例选用的探针包括两类: 第一类探针 是完全与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段; 第二类探 针是部分与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段。 本实施 例选用斑点印迹法将样品固定在滤膜上, 在较高强度的的洗膜条件下, 第一类探 针与样品的杂交特异性最强而得以保留。  The purpose of this embodiment is to select a suitable oligonucleotide fragment from the polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 of the present invention as a hybridization probe, and to identify whether some tissues contain the polynucleoside of the present invention by using a filter hybridization method. Acid sequence or a homologous polynucleotide sequence thereof. Filter hybridization methods include dot blotting, Southern imprinting, Northern blotting, and copying methods. They all use the same steps to immobilize the polynucleotide sample to be tested on the filter. These same steps are as follows: The sample-immobilized filter is first pre-hybridized with a probe-free hybridization buffer to saturate the non-specific binding site of the sample on the filter with the carrier and the synthesized polymer. The pre-hybridization solution is then replaced with a hybridization buffer containing labeled probes and incubated to hybridize the probes to the target nucleic acid. After the hybridization step, the unhybridized probes are removed by a series of membrane washing steps. This embodiment uses higher-intensity washing conditions (such as lower salt concentration and higher temperature), so that the hybridization background is reduced and only strong specific signals are retained. The probes used in this embodiment include two types: the first type of probes are oligonucleotide fragments that are completely the same as or complementary to the polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 of the present invention; the second type of probes are partially related to the present invention The polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 is the same or complementary oligonucleotide fragment. In this example, the dot blot method is used to fix the sample on the filter membrane. Under the high-intensity washing conditions, the first type of probe and the sample have the strongest hybridization specificity and are retained.
一、 探针的选用  First, the selection of the probe
