In optimal way of the present invention, the aminoacid sequence of described Onc can be substantially the same with the sequence shown in the 1-104 position among the SEQ ID NO:2.Preferably, described Onc has the sequence shown in the 1-104 position among the SEQ ID NO:2; Preferred, described Onc is made of the sequence shown in the 1-104 position among the SEQ ID NO:2.
The bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain
The proteic membrane transposition structural domain of bacterial poison of the present invention be a class contratoxin the effective protein domain of endocytosis.Described bacterial poison albumen includes, but is not limited to: DT or PE.Although the membrane transposition structural domain of known DT and PE helps to strengthen the endocytosis of multiple molecule, yet in the past and do not know whether they have effect for the endocytosis of Onc.
As optimal way of the present invention, described bacterial poison albumen is DT, and DT is the bacterial exotoxin that diphtheria corynebacterium produces, and it is made up of three structural domains, and the N end is catalyst structure domain, and the centre is a membrane transposition structural domain, and the C end is the receptors bind structural domain.The acting as of membrane transposition structural domain helps catalyst structure domain to pass the endosome plasma membrane and enters kytoplasm, the cytotoxic effect of performance catalyst structure domain.
DT membrane transposition structural domain or bioactive fragment wherein comprise a part of conserved amino acid alternative sequence, and described sequence of replacing through amino acid may not influence its activity.The example that adoptable a part of amino acid is replaced sees Table 1.The similar replaceability that may also have other, this replaceability often can rule of thumb be determined or be determined according to known conserved sequence.
The bioactive fragment of any DT membrane transposition structural domain can be applied among the present invention.Here, the implication of the bioactive fragment of DT membrane transposition structural domain is meant as a kind of polypeptide fragment, after being connected with Onc and forming fusion rotein, and all or part of function of the DT membrane transposition structural domain that it still can be kept perfectly.Under the normal circumstances, described bioactive fragment keeps the activity of 50% complete DT membrane transposition structural domain at least.Under preferred condition, described active fragments can keep 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99% or 100% activity.
The aminoacid sequence of the DT membrane transposition structural domain that passes through replacement, disappearance or the interpolation of one or more amino-acid residues and form is also included among the present invention.Replacement, disappearance or the interpolation of the one or more amino-acid residues of described process and the DT membrane transposition structural domain that forms also have and help Onc to penetrate the function of tumor cell membrane.
The present invention also can adopt DT membrane transposition structural domain modified or improvement, such as, can adopt the DT membrane transposition structural domain of improveing in order to prolong its transformation period, improve its stability, strengthen the ability of its penetration cell or to strengthen the specificity of its penetration cell.Though described can be to have certain difference with naturally occurring DT membrane transposition structural domain or gene through DT membrane transposition structural domain or the gene modified or improve, also can help the Onc permeates cell membranes, and can not bring other detrimentally affect or toxicity.That is to say that the version of the biological function of any biological activity that does not influence the DT membrane transposition structural domain or perhaps gene all can be used among the present invention.
As optimal way of the present invention, the aminoacid sequence of described DT membrane transposition structural domain can be substantially the same with the sequence shown in the 121-308 position among the SEQ ID NO:2.Preferably, described DT membrane transposition structural domain has the sequence shown in the 121-308 position among the SEQ ID NO:2; Preferred, described DT membrane transposition structural domain is made of the sequence shown in the 121-308 position among the SEQ ID NO:2.
Connect
Can directly be connected between described Onc or its active fragments and bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain or its active fragments, perhaps connect by polypeptide connexon (connection peptides).As a kind of preferred mode of the present invention, described Onc or its active fragments are connected by polypeptide connexon (connection peptides) with bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain or its active fragments, thereby form fusion rotein.Described connexon comprises 0-50 amino acid; Preferably being 5-30 amino acid, more preferably is 10-20 amino acid.
As optimal way of the present invention, comprise the restriction enzyme site sequence of at least one intracellular enzyme in the sequence of described connection peptides, and this restriction enzyme site sequence is not present on Onc sequence or the bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain sequence.Thereby fusion rotein is not digested and enter into efficiently in the cell in the extracellular, in entering into cell after, Onc separates with the bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain under the effect of intracellular enzyme.
As a kind of particularly preferred mode of the present invention, described connection peptides is the connection peptides that contains the Furin restriction enzyme site.It is neutral or subalkaline that extracellular environment is generally, and Furin only just plays a role under acidic conditions, after in fusion rotein enters born of the same parents, can in acid vesicle, be cut, thereby make Onc and toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain be easier to be released in the kytoplasm by the Furin enzyme.Preferred, described connection peptides has the aminoacid sequence shown in the 105-120 position among the SEQ ID NO:2.
As a kind of preferred mode, described Onc or its active fragments are positioned at the aminoterminal (N end) of fusion rotein; Described toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain or its active fragments are positioned at the carboxyl terminal (C end) of fusion rotein.Selectively, also interchangeable two kinds of residing positions of albumen, also promptly: described Onc or its active fragments are positioned at the carboxyl terminal of fusion rotein; Described toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain or its active fragments are positioned at the aminoterminal of fusion rotein.
As another kind of mode, described Onc directly is connected with bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain or their active fragments, such as the bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain directly is connected with the encoding gene of Onc, amalgamation and expression does not add the amino acid connexon between the two.The inventor's result shows, it is better than the proteic anti-tumor activity that does not add connexon and obtained to add the preferred connexon of the present invention between Onc and the bacterium toxalbumin membrane transposition structural domain.
In addition, selectively, the aminoterminal of described fusion rotein (or carboxyl terminal) also can contain one or more polypeptide fragments, as the albumen label.Any suitable label may be used to the present invention.For example, described label can be FLAG, HA, HA1, c-Myc, 6-His or 8-His etc.These labels can be used for fusion rotein is carried out purifying.
Experimental result proves, the constructed Onc-DT fusion rotein of the present invention greatly strengthens the toxicity of tumour cell (comprising that some are originally to the insensitive cell of Onc).The Onc-DT fusion rotein not only can replace traditional toxalbumin to make up immunotoxin, because Onc itself has the ability of tumor cell, itself also can become an independently cancer therapy drug.Than independent application Onc, the Onc-DT fusion rotein is stronger to the lethality of tumour, and the scope of application is wider.
Nucleic acid molecule
On the other hand, the present invention also provides the isolating nucleic acid of the described fusion rotein of encoding, and also can be its complementary strand.
