Description

The biosensor cell and the manufacture method thereof of highly sensitive detection heavy metal Hg
Technical field
The invention belongs to the Environmental Biotechnology field, the biosensor cell and the manufacture method thereof of heavy metal Hg in the solution example in the particularly highly sensitive testing environment.
Background technology
Mercury (Hg) is main poisonous metal pollutent, can find in common industry and/or agricultural waste (Zhang and Wong, 2007).Occurring in nature is difficult to find pure liquid metal mercury, more is the form appearance with compound and inorganic salt.Mercury can unit price mercury or mercuric form and other compound in conjunction with (also being expressed as Hg (I) and Hg (II) or Hg respectively 2+).The chemical form of the mercury that is discharged (or type formation) along with Source Type with other factors and different.Because it is dissimilar mercury has different toxicity, therefore also different with the influence of other biological organism environment to human health.Mercury can be changed between different forms, forms various forms at circulation time, and human and environment are caused murder by poisoning.
When combining with carbon, mercury just forms organomercury compound or organo-metallic mercury.Modal organomercury compound is a methyl mercury in environment.It has been generally acknowledged that its formation in environment mainly is because the bioprocess of effects such as microorganism.Because the conversion of the various forms of mercury, the anthropogenic discharge just causes the formation of methyl mercury in the environment.At present in many edible fresh-water fishes, sea water fish and marine mammal, methyl mercury can increase to several thousand times (biological accumulation and biological magnifications) of content in the water body on every side, and it has been subjected to and has obtained the serious concern of people.
Accurately detect and monitoring environment in, particularly mercury exists and pollution directly has influence on people's daily production and life in the waters.The years of researches exploitation has produced the routine techniques means and the device of various detection mercury, and has excellent sensitivity, as atomic absorption spectrometry (0.02ppb), atomic power spectrography (0.001ppt), atomic emission spectrometry (0.01ppt) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (0.08ppt), but the use of these detection meanss and device has great limitation and cost is high, needs training professionals to operate pertinent instruments equipment (Knecht and Sethi, 2009) simultaneously.The biology that these conventional detection methods of what is more important can not be measured pollution metal can utilize concentration (Bioavailable concentration), is exactly the utilizable quantity of organism of living in the pollution metal sum in the environment.This just need will utilize biological detecting method in conjunction with conventional physical and chemical detection method.Based on this reason, the pollution of developing biosensor detection mercury and other metals in recent years more and more is subjected to people's extreme attention.
Biosensor is a kind of analysis and detection device, closely is made up of with a compatible with it transmitter an immobilized biomaterial usually, can be converted to bio signal and be easy to quantized electrical signal.Biomaterial is responsible for specificity ground identification analysans and is produced bio signal, and the physics and chemistry transmitter is then responded to and the biochemical signals and export and can survey electrical signal (Scheller etc., 1991) accordingly of increase.Biosensor not only can be measured the multiple metal pollutant that comprises mercury effectively, and they also are the ideal selections of measurable various toxic substances based on Basic of Biology.In addition, being easy to duplicate with relative low cost is that biosensor has bigger competitive power.
The whole-cell biological transmitter is to come specificity identification analysans and produce corresponding bio signal (Heim etc., 1999) as biomaterial with complete viable cell.The biosensor of full cell has than traditional analytical procedure and other biological transmitter, as protein, enzyme polysaccharide transmitter alive many advantages are arranged: 1) cell, especially microorganism cells is always more cheap than the protein of purifying or enzyme etc., and biomolecules has better activity in cellular environment.2) use of specific pathways metabolism can make testing compound or pollutent in the cell, and especially aromatics and heavy metal have better and discerned by selectivity.3) full cell sensor has better stability, can use the long relatively time.4) the complete high-throughout automated operation of the easier realization of cell system.5) have only the whole-cell biological transmitter can realize the environmental monitoring of eco-toxicity test and pollutent.
The whole-cell biological transmitter can be divided into two big classes, a class is based on constitutive expression, the another kind of abduction delivering that is based on.The constitutive expression system usually utilizes has highly active promotor under cell normal growth condition, from but reporter gene can have higher basal expression level.And under harmful or deleterious condition, this basal expression level just descends, and the decline of expression level is relevant with the toxicity of testing sample.Therefore the biosensor of constitutive expression system provides individual cells or culture metabolism state " big picture ", any reduction cell growth or cause cytotoxic compare the semaphore that all can reduce reporter gene with control group.And reporter gene merges mutually with inducible promoter in the abduction delivering system, and inducible promoter can respond specific coercing (as heat shock, oxidative damage, dna damage etc.) or compound (organic pollutant and heavy metal).Come the quantity levels of reaction induced thing by the expression level of measuring reporter gene.The key advantage of inducible system is a specificity response inductor (for the cls analysis thing), allows the single determinand of detection by quantitative.
Coerce along with increasing response is specific or the gene of compound is positioned and clones, people just may clone the promotor of these genes and they are merged mutually with many reporter genes.In addition, because unique specificity of these promotors, the combination of countless promotors and reporter gene is used to detect inductor (test analyte) widely.The fusion of narrow spectrum promotor and reporter gene can be cloned on the plasmid, also can be inserted in the genome of some bacterium.This new reorganization biosensor is commonly referred to as the biosensor cell of genetic engineering bacterium (GEM).
Recently the progress of research bacterial system toxic metal ion resistance causes relying on the discovery of the transcription factor MerR family of metal, and MerR family transcription factor all has existence in the various kinds of cell type.The prototype of MerR family transcription activator is the regulatory factor in gram negative bacterium mercury resistance (mer) operon, exists in transposon Tn21 and Tn501 usually (Brown et.al.1983).When mercuric salt existed, this regulon was the incitant of mer gene, and when not having dimercurion to exist, was a faint repressor (Lund and Brown, 1987).) other metal resistance in subsequently the various bacteria, some drug resistances and some these transcription regulaton factors that studies show that of coercing responsive genes also all belong to MerR family.
All MerR family proteins are activating transcription factors.They hold inductor in conjunction with clear separate in territory distinguish in conjunction with the territory with C by N end promoter DNA.They have higher amino acid sequence similarity in conjunction with the territory at DNA, but inductor then has low similarity in conjunction with the territory.When not having divalence mercury, MerR albumen combines with DNA with the repressor conformation, makes promotor keep the state of checking.Just cause conformational change when one of them of two binding sites of dimercurion and MerR albumen combines, make MerR be in the activation conformation.It also is to play a role by similar mechanism that other members of MerR family are considered to, but according to the difference of C end inductor in conjunction with the territory, needs different metal ions, as Cu (II), and Cd (II), inductor is transcribed in Pb (II) and Zn conducts such as (II).
When promotor that regulated by MerR or MerR proteinoid and the reporter gene that is easy to detect, as various fluorescins (as emGFP, eYFP, eBFP or mCherry) when merging mutually, the transcriptional activation to reporter gene after adjusting albumen combines with metal ion remains derivable.Just can prepare by the set out genetic modification biosensor of various detection metals of these reorganization reporter genes.These genetic modification biosensors are highly narrow spectrum when detecting metal pollutant, and recombinant bacteria is with can produce after the specificity metal ion contacts can quantitative fluorescent signal simultaneously.
Preparing the key factor that high-quality genetic modification biosensor is used to detect heavy metal is specificity and the affinity that relies on metal binding protein.Yet the more protein-bonded limitation of native metal have greatly limited genetic modification biosensor application potentiality: 1) natural MerR or MerR albuminoid often have only very narrow to the metal ion responding range; 2), they are subjected to the non-specific binding interference of other metal ions usually; 3) they are merely able to play a role at narrow temperature range activated transcription, the in-situ applications under not too suitable high temperature is regulated under the face of land.
In order to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming, make the whole-cell biological transmitter can detect and monitor the heavy metal contamination of various envrionment conditionss effectively, it is novel that we have at first adopted synthetic biology and protein orthogenesis technology to develop, and has the biosensor cell that mercury ion is had higher specificity and binding affinity.This reconstitution cell will be used to build microscale cheaply, can carry out the whole-cell biological transmitter of field monitoring and detection mercury contaminants.This technology can further be applied to design other biological transmitter cell and come specificity to detect other heavy metal contaminants or radionuclide.
Summary of the invention
Mercury is well-known serious environmental pollutant always in decades, and the mercury that is leaked in the environment may cause serious harm to HUMAN HEALTH.Environmental Protection Agency determines that the dimercurion safety range is below the 10nM (2ppb) in the tap water.Therefore needs can provide the following mercury ion method of detection 10nM, and preferably easy and low-cost, easy handling.The transmitter of the various detection mercury pollution of having developed at present all has relative merits separately, but and can convert microorganism cells and transmitter coupled whole-cell biological transmitter to the photometry signal to the cell induced signal, and be easy to duplicate, also have very big potentiality to reduce cost.Protein engineering in recent years in addition, the fast development of microbiology and photoelectric detecting technology has also greatly advanced the development and the exploitation of whole-cell biological transmitter.
Utilize metalloregulatory protein MerR gene and red fluorescent protein mCherry gene (Shaner etc., 2005) form the red fluorescent protein genetic expression regulation system that dimercurion is induced control, with intestinal bacteria (Escherichia coli) is host bacterium (down together), and we have made up the biosensor cell I (accompanying drawing 1) that can detect mercury pollution.This transmitter cell has very big sensing range, can detect 1 dimercurion to the 1000nM scope, still keeps the specificity of height simultaneously, not to other metal ions, as Mg 2+, Ca 2+, Mn 2+, Fe 3+, Co 2+, Ni 2+, Cu 2+, Zn 2+, Cd 2+, pb 2+And Mo 2+Deng producing response, thereby the detection of mercury ion is not exerted an influence.
On the red fluorescent protein genetic expression regulation system basis of above-mentioned mercury ion mediation, introduce methyl mercury lyase (MerB), under the effect of methyl mercury lyase, the dimercurion in the methyl mercury is released.Thereby the biosensor cell II that makes structure finishes the detection (accompanying drawing 2) to methyl mercury.If contain inorganic mercury and organic mercury (methyl mercury) in the testing sample simultaneously, just can measure the summation of inorganic dimercurion and methyl mercury earlier with biosensor cell II, measure inorganic dimercurion with biosensor cell I then, both differences are exactly the content of methyl mercury.
What the design transmitter often will be concerned about is the detection sensitivity of transmitter, just detects the ability of low concentration sample.From the synoptic diagram (accompanying drawing 1) of our transmitter cell design as can be known, there are three kinds may improve detection sensitivity by the approach that improves bio-identification.1) improves the interior ion concentration of mercury of born of the same parents fast.Our design is the transmitter cell, need be input to mercury ion in the born of the same parents, with the MerR protein-interacting, fluorescence protein gene is expressed, and generation can be surveyed signal; So the ability that increases in the mercury ion input born of the same parents might improve sensor detection sensitivity.2) improve MerR albumen relative content, increase the detection sensitivity that also may improve transmitter with mercury ion bonded chance.3) change the proteic performance of MerR, particularly identification and interact in conjunction with mercury ion and with RNA polymerase and to start the ability of downstream gene expression also may improve sensor detection sensitivity.Based on these hypothesis, we have further made again has the biosensor cell that various inspection sensitivity improve.
Mercury transport protein MerT can accelerate the transportation (Rossy etc., 2004) of mercury ion.Therefore on the basis of biosensor cell I, by introducing the MerT gene, just can make up the biosensor cell III (accompanying drawing 3) that makes new advances, the whole-cell biological transmitter that makes with this cell can be accelerated the transportation of mercury ion in the identical time, increase fluorescent protein expression, thereby improve the detection sensitivity (increasing 1-2 doubly) of transmitter.
Produce the proteic amount of MerR in order in the identical time, to increase cell, we have introduced gene cascade expression system, perhaps be the genetic circuit of biological enlarging function, by increasing the detection sensitivity that the proteic content of MerR in the cell improves the biosensor cell at short notice fast.In the bacterial lambda phage, P RMThe operator gene on promotor and its right side is an eclipsed.This operator gene contains three action site Or1, Or2 and Or3.When Or3 produce some the sudden change after, repressor cI can combine with Or3 effectively, from but cI can keep transcriptional expression (Gussin etc., 1987 efficiently; Bushman, 1993), so when MerR and cI are formed operon for synthesizing, introduce some sudden changes at Or3 simultaneously, MerR and cI be overexpression simultaneously just, thereby increases the proteic ability of unit time interior production MerR.Such gene component is introduced biosensor cell I just obtain having P RMThe biosensor cell IV Or3 mutant (accompanying drawing 4) of-cI cascade enlarging function.In the identical time, biosensor cell IV ratio biosensor cell I can produce more MerR albumen, thus the existence of (increase 1-2 is doubly) detection mercury ion more delicately.
Two transcription regulaton factor NahR and XylS2 from pseudomonas putida, Induced by Salicylic Acid can increase goal gene overexpression (Cebolla etc., 2001) by synergy.When we substitute NahR with MerR, when mercury ion and Whitfield's ointment all exist, coordinative role also can take place in new transcription regulaton factor, fluorescent protein expression is increased fast, the biosensor cell V (accompanying drawing 5 contains Pm-XylS2 cascade enlarging function) that makes up based on this principle has better detection sensitivity (increasing 1-2 doubly).
Use protein orthogenesis and high flux screening technology (Romero and Arnold, 2009), by orthogenesis and the screening of MerR, we obtain the MerR mutant of some performance changes.When mercury ion existed, the generation of these mutains can increase the expression of fluorescence protein gene fast.MerR substitute wild-type MerR among the biosensor cell I with these sudden changes, just obtain a series of biosensor cell I mutants.I compares with wild-type biology transmitter cell, the sensitivity of mutant biosensor cell I has raising in various degree, wherein best mutant can improve sensitivity and reach more than 10 times, this plant mutant body biosensor cell is named as intestinal bacteria TIB-Hg (Escherichia coli TIB-Hg), be preserved in China Committee for Culture Collection of Microorganisms common micro-organisms center (being called for short CGMCC) on 02 5th, 2010, preserving number is CGMCC No 3628.
