Description

Secapin peptides from eastern bees
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a secapin peptide derived from the oriental bee (Apis cerana).
background
Bees are economically important insects. Bees not only carry pollen but also provide a number of products such as honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen, beeswax, and bee venom, among others. These bee products are materials commonly used and important in oriental medicine. Recently, many investigations on the pharmacological actions of components in bee venom have been conducted. Bee venom includes various bee venom proteins or peptides, and specifically, bee venom peptide, phospholipase a2(PLA2), melimine peptide, hyaluronidase, serine protease inhibitor, and the like are known in the related art.
More specifically, such various proteins or peptides found in the venom of various organisms have attracted a high interest because they are involved in various physiological activities such as immune response, complement activity, hemostasis, coagulation mechanisms, fibrinolytic function, reduction of inflammation, and the like.
The base sequence encoding the seecapelin peptide, one of the bee venom components of the western bee Apis melifera, was first identified in 1984 [ Vlasak R & Kreil G, Eur J Biochem 145: 279-292(1984)]. Another base sequence related to hymenoptera insects including some species of ants and aedes aegypti has also been reported. However, since secateine peptide, which is known as one of bee venom components, is present in bee venom in small portions of not more than 1%, it is rather difficult to isolate and obtain it. For this reason, the number of studies on various physiological effects of raceuticals is relatively small.
Accordingly, the present inventors have made cloning of cDNA gene encoding Secaine peptide derived from the eastern bee, Apis cerana. In addition, the present inventors have found that a recombinant peptide produced by inserting a polynucleotide encoding a mature peptide among the cDNA genes into a vector and then introducing the vector into a cell line of insects can inhibit the activities of fibrinolytic enzyme, elastase, subtilisin A and proteinase K and exhibit excellent antibacterial and antifungal effects against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and entomopathogenic fungi, thereby completing the present invention.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
The present inventors have isolated the eastern bee-derived secateine peptide (secateine: AcScp) amino acid sequence and a polynucleotide encoding the above secateine peptide as described below.
A cDNA library was prepared using poly (A) and mRNA extracted from oriental bee insects, and then analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) was performed. According to the eastern bee EST analysis, the cDNA of the gene coding the eastern bee-derived Seatcaine peptide is cloned and defined by SEQ ID No. 1. In addition, the result of amino acid sequence database analysis translated from cDNA encoding the eastern bee-derived racecadin peptide is defined by SEQ ID No. 2.
The eastern bee-derived racecadin peptide gene was first isolated from eastern bees, however, its specific characteristics have not been reported. The present invention identifies the sequence of AcScp derived from the eastern honey bee, and this gene was registered in NCBIGenBank database at 5/15 of 2015 under accession No. KR 732613 (cDNA).
As a result of isolating cDNA derived from eastern honey bee AcScp according to the present invention and analyzing its base sequence, it was found that the obtained cDNA of the eastern honey bee-derived AcScp gene has the base sequence of SEQ ID No.1, which is 348bp in length up to the stop codon, wherein the protein encoded by the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No.1 consists of 115 amino acids, includes a signal peptide site consisting of 24 amino acids and a mature peptide region consisting of 25 amino acids, and has two cysteine structures. The recombinant protein obtained by expressing only the mature peptide portion had a molecular weight of about 3.7kDa by electrophoresis.
The amino acid sequence encoded by the eastern bee-derived secainide peptide gene shows high homology with the amino acid sequence of secainide peptide (western bee-3, dormitopsis florida, etc.) registered in NCBI GenBank database (see fig. 1).
The peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No.2 according to the present invention may have protein inhibitory activity against plasmin, elastase, subtilisin A, proteinase K, etc.
In addition, the present invention provides a recombinant expression vector comprising the nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1.
In the present disclosure, the term "vector" refers to a DNA product containing the base sequence of a particular gene operably linked to appropriate control sequences for expression of the gene of interest in a suitable host. Here, the control sequence may include a promoter capable of initiating the transfer, any random operator sequence that controls the transfer, a sequence encoding an appropriate mRNA ribosome binding site, and a sequence that controls the termination of the transfer and transcription.
In the present disclosure, the phrase "operably linked" refers to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein of interest functionally linked to nucleic acid expression control sequences to perform a general function. For example, a promoter may be operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a protein or RNA that affects the expression of a coding sequence. The operable linkage with the recombinant vector may be formed using genetic recombination techniques well known in the related art, and the site-specific DNA cleavage and linkage are performed using any enzymes and the like generally known in the related art.
The vector of the present invention may include, for example, a promoter, an initiation codon, a stop codon, expression control elements such as a polyadenylation signal and enhancer, a secretion signal, etc., and may be prepared in various types according to the use thereof. The start codon and stop codon should be functional to the subject to whom the genetic construct is administered and be present in the coding sequence and frame (in-frame).
The vector usable in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is replicable in a host, and may include any vector known in the related art. For example, a non-viral vector or a viral vector may be used.
As a representative example, the non-viral vector may include a plasmid. The plasmid expression vector is a tool for directly delivering plasmid DNA to human cells according to the FDA-certified gene transfer method, which is suitable for humans, and thus, has an advantage of being able to purify the plasmid DNA homogeneously, unlike viral vectors. The plasmid expression vector usable in the present invention may include any mammalian expression vector known in the related art. For example, but not limited thereto, pRK5 (European patent No.307,247), pSV16B (International patent publication No.91/08291), pVL1392(PharMingen), and the like are representative.
In addition, the expression vector usable in the present invention may include a viral vector. The viral vector may include, for example, retrovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, herpes virus, fowlpox virus, and the like. The viral vector should satisfy the following conditions: (1) the vector should infect the cell of interest, and therefore, a viral vector having an appropriate host range should be selected; (2) the transgene should be retained and expressed in the cell for a desired period of time; and (3) the vector should be safe in the host.
Retroviral vectors are constructed such that all viral genes are removed or altered, thereby enabling non-viral proteins to be made in cells infected with the viral vector. The main advantage of such retroviral vectors in gene therapy is the delivery of large numbers of genes in replicable cells and the correct integration of the genes transferred into the DNA of said cells, while not causing persistent infection after gene transfection. FDA-certified retroviral vectors have been manufactured using PA317 amphotropic retroviral packaging cells (Miller, A.D. and Buttimore, C., Molec.cell biol., 6: 2895-2902, 1986).
The non-retroviral vector may include, for example, an adenovirus as described above. The main advantage of adenovirus is the ability of the virus to carry large DNA fragments (36kb genome) and to infect non-replicating cells at high titers. In addition, herpes viruses can also be effectively used in human gene therapy (Wolfe, J.H., et al, Nature Genetics, 1: 379-384, 1992). In addition, suitable viral vectors known in the related art may be used.
Other viral vectors that may be used for gene transfer into cells may include, for example, Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV), JC, SV40, polyoma, Epstein-ear virus, papilloma virus, vaccinia virus, poliovirus, herpes virus, Sindbis virus, lentivirus, other human and animal viruses.
The expression vector of the present invention can be introduced into cells by any conventional method known in the related art. For example, although not limited thereto, the vector may be introduced into cells using transient transfection, microinjection, transduction, cell fusion, calcium phosphate precipitation, liposome-mediated transfection, DEAE dextran-mediated transfection, polybrene-mediated transfection, electroporation, gene guns, and other known methods for nucleic acid influx into cells (Wu et al, J.Bio.chem., 267: 963-loop 967, 1992; Wu and Wu, J.Bio.chem., 263: 14621-loop 14624, 1988).
The vectors of the invention may also comprise a selectable marker. The selection marker is used for selecting cells into which the vector is transferred, i.e., for determining whether the gene of interest is inserted, and some markers that can confer drug resistance, nutritional requirements, tolerance to cytotoxic agents, or selectable phenotypes such as expression of surface layer proteins may be used. In the context of treatment with a selection agent, only cells expressing the selection marker may survive or exhibit the surrogate phenotype, thereby enabling selection of transformed cells.
In addition, the present invention provides a transformant transformed with the above-described vector.
The transformant of the present invention can be constructed by introducing the vector into a host cell in a specific form in which the promoter functions.
In the present disclosure, the term "transformation" refers to the introduction of DNA into a host such that the DNA can be replicated as an extrachromosomal element or by complete chromosomal integration. The transformation may include any method of introducing a nucleic acid molecule into an organism, cell, tissue or organ, and may be performed by selecting an appropriate standard technique depending on the host cell, as is well known in the relevant art.
Among these methods as described above, electroporation, CaPO 4 precipitation, CaCl 2 precipitation, microinjection, PEG method, DEAE-dextran method, cationic liposome method, lithium acetate-DMSO method, etc. may be included, but are not limited thereto.
Since the amount of expression and modification of the protein may vary depending on the host cell to be transferred into the expression vector, the host cell closest to the intention may be selected and used. The host cell usable in the present invention may include, for example, an insect cell line, yeast, fungus, bacterium or algae, for example, preferably using insect cell line Sf9 (Spodoptera frugiperda 9), but is not limited thereto.
In the following embodiment of the present invention, an insect baculovirus transition vector (pBAC8) comprising the polynucleotide of SEQ ID No.1 was co-transfected with insect cell line Sf9 (Spodoptera frugiperda 9), and after 5 days, culture broth was collected to prepare a recombinant baculovirus expressing the eastern bee-derived racecadin peptide. The recombinant baculovirus was propagated in Sf9 cell line, and the recombinant protein of the invention (eastern bee-derived Secat peptide) was isolated using the MagneHisTM protein purification system (Promega Co., USA).
From the above-mentioned transformant, the peptide of the present invention can be isolated. After expression of the peptide in the selected host cell, it can be isolated and purified using any conventional biochemical separation technique, such as treatment with a protein precipitant (salting out), centrifugation, ultrasonication, ultrafiltration, dialysis, various chromatographies such as molecular sieve chromatography (gel filtration), adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and the like. In general, the above-described methods may be used in combination of two or more thereof in order to isolate a high-purity protein (polypeptide).
In addition, the present invention provides a coagulant, an anti-inflammatory agent and an antibacterial or antifungal agent, each of which includes an expression vector of eastern bee-derived Secat peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No.2 as described above or a nucleotide of SEQ ID No.1 encoding the above peptide.
The eastern bee-derived racecadin peptide of the present invention may have plasmin inhibitory activity to exhibit a coagulation effect, elastase inhibitory activity to exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect, and subtilisin a and proteinase K inhibitory activities to exhibit antibacterial and antifungal effects.
More specifically, the eastern bee-derived racecadine peptide of the present invention inhibits degradation of fibrin by fibrinolysis of plasmin, a phenomenon in which solid fibrin is dissolved into a liquid state by plasmin and blood vessels are thereby re-opened due to blood clot blockage. However, the racepine peptide can inhibit the above phenomenon to act on coagulation.
In addition, elastase is a serine protease involved in inflammation. Since serpin inhibitors function as anti-inflammatory agents, the tecavir peptides as described above may have elastase inhibitory activity, thereby acting on inflammation inhibition.
With respect to antibacterial and antifungal effects, experiments have shown that the growth of gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus thuringiensis is inhibited and that the growth of Fusarium graminearum, which is known as a plant pathogenic bacterium, is also effectively inhibited.
The coagulant and anti-inflammatory agent according to the present invention can be effectively applied to materials for medicines, cosmetics, and the like, while the antibacterial or antifungal agent can be used for materials for various products such as medicines, cosmetics, detergents, plant disease preventive agents, coating agents, and the like.
When the blood coagulation agent, anti-inflammatory agent, antibacterial or antifungal agent is prepared into a pharmaceutical composition, the composition may further include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is generally used for formulation, and may include, for example, lactose, glucose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, acacia gum, calcium phosphate, alginate, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, methyl cellulose, methyl hydroxybenzoate, propyl hydroxybenzoate, talc, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, and the like, but is not limited thereto. In addition to the above components, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may also include lubricants, moisturizers, sweeteners, flavors, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and formulations suitable for use are described in detail in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (nineteenth edition, 1995).
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered by oral or parenteral routes, preferably by parenteral routes, more preferably by topical application.
The appropriate dosage amount of the pharmaceutical composition may be determined according to various prescriptions based on various parameters such as formulation method, administration mode, age, weight, sex and state of the patient, food, administration time, administration route, excretion rate, reaction and response, etc.
The pharmaceutical composition may be prepared into a formulation using the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or excipient according to any conventional method that is easily carried out by those skilled in the relevant art to which the present invention pertains. Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in unit dosage form or packaged in multi-dose containers to form products. In this regard, the formulation may include, for example, a solution, suspension, syrup or emulsion in an oil or aqueous medium, or an extract, dispersion, powder, granule, tablet, capsule form, or the like. In addition, the formulation may also include a dispersant or stabilizer.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.
