Description

Expression of exogenous genes reinforcing agent
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of in the protein expression system that make use of silkworm silk glands using the antisense RNA expression vector expression of exogenous genes reinforcing agent as effective ingredient, and there is the gene recombinaton silkworm of this antisense RNA expression vector.
Background technology
The silk glands of silkworm (Bombyxmori), has the ability of a large amount of protein of short time synthesis. Further, since the silk glands of silkworm be large-scale organ so easily extracting, the protein of synthesis is stored in silk glands inner chamber, so the advantage also with easily recovery. Therefore, utilize silk glands to express the gene recombinaton silkworm of target protein, be considered to hold promise as the mass procution system of the high protein of the added value such as useful proteins matter or high-performance silk.
Silkworm silk glands, morphology is the organ of 1 pair, left and right as shown in Figure 1, is made up of anterior silk glands, middle part silk glands and 3 regions of rear portion silk glands respectively. In the silk glands cell of middle part, synthesize the covering water miscible gelatin sample protein of composition, sericin 1 as spun silk (in this specification, usually referred to as " Ser1 "), sericin 2 is (in this specification, usually referred to as " Ser2 ") and sericin 3 (in this specification, usually referred to as " Ser3 ") (Fig. 1). These protein, are secreted in the silk glands inner chamber of middle part in post synthesis. Additionally, in the silk glands cell of rear portion, synthesize 3 main protein and fibroin albumen H chain that constitute the fibroin albumen belonging to silk flock composition (in this specification, usually referred to as " FibH "), fibroin albumen L chain is (in this specification, usually referred to as " FibL ") and p25/FHX (following, to be designated as " p25 "). These 3 protein form complex (silkfibroinelementaryunit with the ratio of FibH:FibL:p25=6:6:1; In this specification, hereinafter referred to as " SFEU complex "), secretion is to the silk glands inner chamber of rear portion. Then, SFEU complex is transferred to middle part silk glands inner chamber, is covered by sericin, weaves silk (Fig. 1: non-patent literature 1) as spun silk from anterior silk glands. Therefore, using silkworm silk glands as protein expression system utilize time, utilize specific expressed gene expression system in middle part silk glands or rear portion silk glands. Actually, so far as the recombinant protein expression system using middle part silk glands, establish the great expression method (non-patent literature 3) of system utilizing GAL4/UAS system (non-patent literature 2) or Ser1 promoter and Hr3 enhancer being combined.
In the protein expression system utilizing silkworm silk glands, in order to improve the production efficiency of target protein, improve the expression of this gene itself, by reducing other major protein quality of silk glands so that the expression of target protein rises relatively and be important from silkworm efficient recovery target protein. Hinder one of reason of Protein Recovery, the existence being mingled with protein can be enumerated. Such as, the fibroin albumen of the main protein as silk glands, sericin can be enumerated. These protein are many due to synthetic quantity, and are fiber qualities, and toughness, crystallinity are high, therefore easily become the reason of blocking post or filter when target protein extracts or refines. Therefore, for the efficient recovery of protein, it is necessary to suppress these to be mingled with the gene expression of protein. On the other hand, the excessive expression inhibiting of these genes expressed in silkworm silk glands, owing to can produce impact to the growth of silkworm itself, it is therefore desirable to control the technology of this expression inhibiting.
In silkworm silk glands, it is suppressed that in the method for the expression of endogenous fibroin albumen or sericin, including the method for the method and the artificial expression suppressing these genes that use existing gene mutation system.
As the example of method using existing gene mutation system, it is known that the FibH chain expressed by rear portion silk glands in silkworm has abnormal Nd system, FibL chain has abnormal Nd-s system and Nd-sD system. Due in Nd system FibH chain express or in Nd-s system and Nd-sD system the expression of FibL chain non-normally low, therefore by using these systems to utilize middle part silk glands to make target protein expression can improve its expression (patent documentation 1). But, said gene abruptly-changing system, it is impossible to the gene expressions such as the Ser1 that suppression is expressed by middle part silk glands, it addition, the abruptly-changing system etc. of the gene expressed by the middle part silk glands of silkworm is not reported so far.
As the example of method of the expression of artificial suppressor gene, RNAi (RNAinteference) method can be enumerated. RNAi method is the decomposition of transcription product via target gene in vivo, it is suppressed that the method for the expression of (silence) this gene. Generally in RNAi method, use the siRNA (smallinterferingRNA) that is made up of double-stranded RNA or miRNA (microRNA) and be made up of the RNAi molecule such as the shRNA (shorthairpinRNA) that formed double-stranded region by autofolding (self-folding) in molecule single stranded RNA. On the other hand, it is made up of single stranded RNA and is formed without the antisense RNA in intramolecular duplex RNA region (in this specification, usually be designated as " asRNA ") with said target mrna annealing, eventually pass through and double-stranded RNA identical process play the expression inhibiting effect of the gene caused by RNAi. But, owing to its effect is non-normally low compared with other RNAi molecule, therefore it is substantially free of use (non-patent literature 4).
In Lepidoptera (Lepidoptera) insecticide headed by silkworm, the effect generally low (non-patent literature 5) of gene expression inhibition caused by RNAi compared with other biological kind. However, it is known that its effect is different because organizing difference, even Lepidoptera, also simply relatively high in skin or silk glands. Such as, the report double-stranded RNA cell inner expression silkworm by making FibH chain, FibL chain and Ser1, it is possible to suppress the expression (patent documentation 2~4) of each gene. But, these methods, owing to must express and construct double-stranded RNA in vivo, and the complex procedures that the making of expression vector or gene recombinaton silkworm make needs labour, therefore there is the problem that manufacturing cost uprises. And, in the prior art, exist and combine multiple genes and suppress it to express extremely difficult problem simultaneously. These problems, if the asRNA being made up of single stranded RNA then can overcome. But, the effect reporting in silk fabric gland of being in gene expression inhibition caused by asRNA is also non-normally low, is only about one (non-patent literature 6) of hundreds of points compared with double-stranded RNA.
