Novel genetic constructs, vectors and transformed cells are provided as well as transgenic animals genetically engineered for enhanced expression of alpha -lactalbumin. Human alpha -lactalbumin has been shown to be superior for human infant nutrition and the present invention enables a cheap and effective form for production of the major whey protein in human milk.

Description

Alpha-lactalbumin gene constructs
The gene constructs that the present invention relates to recombinate, this construction can be expressed alpha-lactalbumin or its function equivalent or its part.
The breast of other types such as the relative cow's milk of human milk, sheep breast, camel breast, goat breast has more superior nutritive value, helps human infant's growth.Yet many mothers think that breast hello breast is difficult or inconvenient.National greatly in the infant or baby food demand, also extremely need to provide a kind of milk-product that the human milk nutritive value is arranged.
One of key distinction of relative other Mammalss (for example ox or the sheep) breast of human milk is that it contains alpha-lactalbumin as main whey-protein.Although alpha-lactalbumin also is present in the Ruzhong of other kinds, its concentration is relatively low, and main whey-protein is a beta-lactoglobulin.The alpha-lactalbumin level plant with plant between different, people's milk content is about 2.5mg/ml, cow's milk 0.5-1.0mg/ml, the newborn 0.1-0.8mg/ml of mouse.
The gene order of coding ox alpha-lactalbumin and human alpha-lactalbumin is illustrated; There is the class sequence information to deliver at Biochem J242:735-742 (1987) at Biochemie 69:609-620 (1987) and Hall etc. by Vilotte etc. respectively.
The present invention seeks to utilize genetic engineering technique to make up the gene of reorganization, makes that can produce content in the Ruzhong when this recombination construction is expressed in cells of mamma animals is higher than 1.0mg/ml, as 1.2mg/ml or higher alpha-lactalbumin.Described construction generally is suitable for especially expressing in the ox cell at inhuman zooblast.
On the one hand, the invention provides a kind of recombinant expression system that is suitable in the preferred ox cell of non-human animal's cell, expressing alpha-lactalbumin or its function equivalent or its part.Preferably, recombinant expression system of the present invention is suitable for expressing human alpha-lactalbumin or its function equivalent or its part.
Term used herein " expression system " is meant and comprises protein-coding region and be attached to all gene orders to the hereditary signal of protein expression necessity.Randomly, expression system also comprises such as regulatory elements such as promotor, enhansers to strengthen transcribing and/or translating of encoding histone zone, perhaps control expression.Regulatory element can be positioned at the upstream or the downstream in encoding histone zone, perhaps is arranged in the intron (non-encoding part) of protein-coding region.It also is possible that encoding histone zone sequence self has regulating power.
Term " function equivalent " refers to derivative any and reference sequences or protein function essentially equivalent." function equivalent " comprises that especially those Nucleotide and/or aminoacid sequence are inserted into, lack or replace but biological function especially galactopoiesis biological function do not had the derivative of significant adverse influence.
Genetically engineered all is strong technology to research or to commercial purpose.Use genetic engineering technique (to see Maniatis etc., the molecular cloning laboratory manual, cold spring harbor laboratory, cold spring port, New York, 1982 and " Principle of Genetic Engineening ", Old and Primrose, the 5th edition, 1994, two Wen Jun draw be document) can change exogenous genetic material over to host cell, duplicate therein and/or express by this exogenous genetic material encoded protein or polypeptide.For easy and simple to handle, genetic engineering is done the host with prokaryotic micro-organisms such as E.coli etc. usually, but also uses eukaryote especially as enzyme mother, algae etc.Also use eukaryotic cell to cultivate in some applications.
Brinster etc. are at Cell27:223-231, have described the caused mammals gene alteration of the unicellular embryo's protokaryon of the micro-injection of gene in 1981.Here exogenous genetic material is introduced in the fertilised non-human eggs, and this zygote further develops into the embryo with normal way after in implanting foster mother's body.Real transgenic animal all contain the foreign DNA copy in each cell.
In case the genetic material that injects successfully is incorporated into host chromosome, this animal promptly is called the gene of " transgenic animal " and transfer with the heredity of normal Mendelian's mode, but it is lower that transgenosis is operable to power, especially to large-scale feeding animals such as pig, sheep, ox etc.So far also can not control the position that the gene integration that shifts enters host chromosome.
The donor animal that only produces " mosaic " under the certain condition has been very sufficient for purpose of the present invention.The gene integration that shifts this moment is in the karyomit(e) of certain organ only.The mosaic animal generally obtains by foreign DNA is introduced the embryo who grows than late period.
One of application of the genetically modified tool prospect of livestock is to utilize the Mammals breast to produce as " bio-reactor " and contain breast medicinal and the nutritive value recombinant protein.For expressing foreign protein, the Mammals breast has much magnetism because of it with secretion mode mass production albumen.Recombinant DNA technology can be used to change the albumen composition of the cow's milk that is used for human or animal's consumption, can increase its nutritive value as infant or baby food as expressing human milk-protein in cow's milk.(Ladisch and Boser edits, american chemical association, 38-21 page or leaf (1992) for Strijker etc., Harnessing Biotechnology for the 21st Century).Thereby breeding voluminous animal with common and senior breeding technology, to increase more cheaply that output uses above-mentioned recombinant technology be useful.
The first step in Mammals breast express transgenic is the gene of clone's proteins of interest.In order to make protein expression, generally use the promotor of expressing main milk protein gene in the Ruzhong to the Ruzhong.Milk protein gene is subjected to strict the adjusting, does not express in non-breast tissue, so that organize the possibility of negative impact to drop to minimum to other.Be used for that the proteic regulatory gene of expressing heterologous has α-S1-casein (Strijker et. in breast, 1992, above-mentioned document), beta-lactoglobulin (Wright etc., progress report (1993)) and beta-casein (Ebert Schindler biotechnology 9:831-834 (1991)), whey acidic protein (Ebert and Schindler, transgenosis agricultural animal:, 1993, above-mentioned document).
New gene constructs is general the check at transgenic mice earlier before being used for ox.The breast that derives from transgenic mice is done the recombinant protein quantitative analysis, if the breast amount is sufficient, separable albumen is checked its constitutional features and biological activity.The selection of the particular build thing that is used for ox is mainly considered expression level and the really degree of the recombinant protein that produced.
The gene constructs that the transgenosis of ox starts from the hundreds of copies of injection usually in two protokaryons of zygote.Zygote is taken from uterine tube (Roschlau etc., Arch Tierz, Berlin31:3-8 (1988) in the body; Roschlau etc., breeding and fertilization magazine (Suppl38), the cytobiology of mammalian ovum operation, Greve etc. edit (1989); Hill etc., Theriogenology37:222 (1992); Bowen et al. biological self reproducing 50:664-448 (1994)) or to the ovum of maturation in vitro make (Krimpenforth etc., biotechnology 9:844-847 (1991) in vitro fertilization; Hill etc., 1992, above-mentioned document; Bowen etc., 1993 above-mentioned documents).The zygote of ox needs therefrom to remove opaque lipid in centrifugal several minutes at 15,000 * g, so that use phase microscope, Nomarski and Hoffman interfere phase microscope to observe protokaryon.The damping fluid that 2-4pl is contained hundreds of DNA construction copies injects protokaryon.Transgenosis is considered to be integrated into the breakpoint at random of chromosomal DNA, and this breakpoint is produced by mechanical lysis in the microinjection.It would be desirable that transgenosis is duplicated preceding integration at zygote stage D NA, guarantee that each cell contains transgenosis in the adult.General genetically modified several " copies " become wire to link, and are incorporated into the single site of individual chromosome.Integration site is at random.Integration may take place behind first round dna replication dna, also may (Walland Seidel, 1992) take place evening to 2 or 4 cell stages, produces the animal of transgenosis mosaic.High to 30% can somatic tissue be checked through genetically modified animal not to the offspring transmit this transgenosis (or transport be lower than expection 50%).
After the microinjection, the embryo directly transfer in the uterine tube of acceptor or cultivate a couple of days after transfer to the intrauterine of recipient cattle.Southern engram analysis by to newborn calf's tissue sample proves genetically modified integration.And genetically modified expression is measured by the gene product of analyzing in the suitable tissue, and the present invention is a gene product amount of analyzing the Ruzhong.Embryo survival after the microinjection, the transgenosis integrating frequency, expression frequency and level, gamete system transmits frequency, all different and different because of the amount of DNA construction of injection and matter, employed mouse species (Brinster etc., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA82:4438-4442 (9185)) and operator's technique and skill.This basic skills has been used for production Transgenic Sheep (Wright etc., 1991, above-mentioned document), transgenic goat (Ebertand Schinder, 1993, above-mentioned document), transgenic pig (Rexroad and Purcel, the 11st animal reproduction international conference A.I.Dublin5:29-35 (1988)) and transgenic cattle (Krimpenfort etc., 1991, above-mentioned document; Hill etc., 1992, above-mentioned document; Bowen etc., 1994, above-mentioned document).
WO-A-88/01648 (Immunex company), WO-A-88/00239 and WO-A-90/05188 (being pharmaceutical protein company limited owns) are also as a reference, it has described the recombination structure, the transgenic animal of integrating recombination produce, and express proteins encoded and express suitable technique and the method that is adopted in growing up the female mammal breast lactation.These and above-mentioned document all are incorporated herein for referencial use.
Stacey etc. also draw at the article of molecule and cytobiology 14 (2): 1009-1016 (in February, 1994) and are that reference, this article described the mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene by the displaced knock-out experiment of human alpha-lactalbumin gene.Yet this paper is not reported the expression of alpha-lactalbumin.

The clone of 1 N of alpha-lactalbumin gene of embodiment
Known have three kinds of different ox alpha-lactalbumins, and wherein Type B is the most general.A type from Bos (Bos) nomadicus f.d.indicus is different from Type B, shows that No. 10 position residue: A are Glu, then replaces for Arg among the B.Its sequence difference of C type from Bos (Bibos) javanicus it be unclear that (Mc Kenzie ﹠amp; White, Advances in Protein Chemistry 41,173-315 (1991).The PCR primer of indicating among the available Fig. 1 of ox alpha-lactalbumin gene (coding Type B) is from genomic dna cloning.Primer has provided following sequence number:
Ba-2?SEQ?ID?NO?1
Ba-7?SEQ?ID?NO?2
Ba-8?SEQ?ID?NO?3
Ba-9?SEQ?ID?NO?4
DNA source in all PCR reactions is the blood from the Holstein-Friesian ox.
Use primer Ba-9 to be 0.72kb in conjunction with the promoter region length of primer Ba-8 amplification.This-the BamHI/EcoRI fragment cloning is to Bluescript (pBA-P0.7).
Use primer Ba-7 to be 2.05kb in conjunction with the promoter region length of primer Ba-8 amplification.This-the BamHI/EcoRI fragment cloning is to Bluescript (pBA-P2).
Whole ox alpha-lactalbumin gene comprises the flanking sequence district of 5 ' 0.72kb and 3 ' 0.3kb, and available primer Ba-9 is increased in conjunction with primer Ba-2.These primers comprise the BamHI restriction enzyme recognition site, can be with the direct subclone of 3kb fragment of amplification to the BamHI sites of pUCI8, and generation pBova-A construction (see figure 2).
To link the EcoRV/BamHI fragment of pBOVA-a from the BamHI/EcoRV fragment of clone pBA-P2, produce construction pBOVA-b (see figure 2).
Because the TAQ polymerase lacks proofreading activity, therefore whether the ox alpha-lactalbumin DNA of check amplification and the ox alpha-lactalbumin gene of delivering be consistent is necessary.Sequential analysis is carried out in all exons and two primer fragments.Compare the result that ox alpha-lactalbumin exon and Vilotte deliver, shown 3 changes:
(i) exon I becomes A at+759 by C; Become 5 ' non-coding region
(ii) exon I becomes CTG at+792 by CTA; The leucine of all encoding
(iii) exon II becomes ACG at+1231 by GCG; L-Ala becomes leucine
This shows that the protein B type is more common.
Mispronounce although can not get rid of in the pcr amplification sequence, above mispairing may be because ox DNA source is different.

The alpha-lactalbumin defective does not have obvious influence to mammogenesis.Table 4 explanation wild-type, heterozygote α-lac m/ α-lac-does not have obvious different with the mammary gland gross weight of autozygote α-lac-/α-lac-mouse lactation period.The spectroscopic analysis of mammary gland (Figure 14) shows that the mammary gland of heterozygote and autozygote is normal on histology.But the vesicle of autozygote mammary gland and mammary duct ectasia are full of fat and material such as drip.
The human alpha-lactalbumin gene is replaced the mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene
We have obtained the mouse at mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene site carrier's alpha-lactalbumin gene.2.7kb mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene fragment in α-lac-amorphs disappearance is replaced by the fragment that contains whole person's alpha-lactalbumin coding region and 5 ' lateral order row of 2.97kb.This people's gene fragment extends to the EcoRI site at 3 ' end 136bp place, translation termination site from people's transcription initiation site upstream 0.77kb, occur in the BamHI site at 0.57kb place, mouse transcription initiation site upstream with the binding of mouse sequence and Stacey et al (is seen in the XbaI site at 3 ' end 147kbp place, mouse translation termination site, 1994, above-mentioned document, also see Figure 11), we have described carrying this equipotential gene is α-lac hThe analysis of mouse.
Mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene disappearance shows that it is synthetic that the alpha-lactalbumin defective hinders lactose, the havoc milk production.We use α-lac hAllelotrope detects human alpha-lactalbumin and recover the ability of galactopoiesis when the mouse alpha-lactalbumin lacks.α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote and α-lac h/ α-lac hAutozygote mouse appearance, reproductivity, behavior are all normal.
Compare α-lac-/α-lac-mouse, α-lac h/ α-lac hThe female mouse galactopoiesis of autozygote is apparent normal, can successfully bring up the offspring.Table 4 shows by α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote and α-lac h/ α-lac hThe young baby that the female mouse of autozygote is brought up and the wild-type mother mouse young weight of raising an infant is similar.We observe these animal capables and fully normally feed the little son continuously, obtain proof thus.These evidences clearly show that people's gene can have the gene of replacing mouse functionally.Breast proximate analysis (table 4) shows lactose concn all similar in all genotype.Although α-lac h/ α-lac hAlbumen and fatty consistency decrease in the autozygote animal, but only the fat minimizing is proved significantly by statistical paired t-test.Compare wild-type, these animal milk productions risings (table 4).
The relative quantification of people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin RNA
Human milk contains the alpha-lactalbumin (2.5mg/ml) of Duoing relatively than mouse breast (0.1mg/ml).We wish whether the alpha-lactalbumin gene fragment of determining the people keeps high-caliber expression in the mouse site, or also lower than mouse genetic expression.α-lac m/ α-lac hThe heterozygote mouse provides desirable approach for this problem is described, wherein the expression of people's gene can directly be compared with mouse genetic expression in same animal.
Figure 15 A has illustrated the method that compares mouse and human alpha-lactalbumin mRNA level.Because the binding of people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin gene sequence is positioned at the upstream in polyadenylic acid site, so α-lac mRNA contains the mouse sequence of not translating of 120 bases that are positioned at 3 ' end.Unified radiolabeled mouse rna probe is used for rnase protection analysis, distinguishes people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin mRNA in the same RNA sample to detect.Every kind of mRNA relative abundance is calculated by the segmental labelled amount that is subjected to people and mouse mRNA protection.
Rnase protection analysis the results are shown in Figure 15B.The A road illustrates indigested 455 base probes, and the K road shows that yeast tRNA does not protect any fragment.Wild-type mice RNA has protected the RNA fragment of one 305 base, this fragment consistent with endogenous mouse alpha-lactalbumin RNA (seeing the B road).Homology α-lac h/ α-lac hBody of gland RNA protects a less band, the RNA consistent (seeing the C road) of 120 bases of being protected with human alpha-lactalbumin mRNA.The D-J road shows and serial heterozygote α-lac m/ α-lac hThe corresponding to result of animal.Every kind of sample is medium and small to show that with big protected fragment people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin mRNA all exist.Protected fragment is downcut from glue, measures emitting isotope content and complies with the adjustment that varies in size, and estimated the ratio of people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin mRNA.Table 6 illustrates 305 bases of downcutting in from Figure 15 B D to J road and the emitting isotope amount of 120 base fragments of being present in, from and heterozygote α-lac m/ α-lac hThe ratio of middle people and mouse alpha-lactalbumin mRNA.Although fluctuation but human alpha-lactalbumin mRNA is obviously abundanter than mouse mRNA content to some extent between the Different Individual mouse.Average 7 α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote, human alpha-lactalbumin mRNA expresses high 15 times than mouse.

Human alpha-lactalbumin is expressed
Alpha-lactalbumin in the target mouse species has been done the Western analysis.Human alpha-lactalbumin can distinguish (seeing A, B road) with the mouse alpha-lactalbumin because of its swimming rate fast.α-lac h/ α-lac hAutozygote and α-lac m/ α-lac hA tangible lower molecular weight band can be observed (seeing C, D, G, H road) in the heterozygote mouse, and it is corresponding to the position of human alpha-lactalbumin standard, and only can observe in the mouse of expressing human alpha-lactalbumin.This mouse obtains (data not shown goes out) by gene targeting or protokaryon microinjection.This point is confirmed by the peptide analysis (data not shown goes out) of phenyl-agarose chromatography (seeing Figure 16) and cyanogen bromide decomposition release.The band of low swimming rate is arranged, similar to the mouse alpha-lactalbumin, also be the human alpha-lactalbumin gene product, its character the unknown, it is with α-lac hGene dosage difference and intensity changes (seeing G, H road) to some extent also is present in the human alpha-lactalbumin transgenic mice Ruzhong that produces by the protokaryon microinjection.
The alpha-lactalbumin content of breast sample is done quantitatively with phenyl-agarose chromatography.Figure 16 illustrates three kinds of shown among Figure 13 newborn samples, comprises α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote and α-lac h/ α-lac hThe overlapping light absorption value curve of the post wash-out of autozygote.Peak corresponding to the alpha-lactalbumin of wash-out marks.Alpha-lactalbumin content is by relatively the peak area and the estimation of human alpha-lactalbumin typical curve of integration obtain.Linear between the peak area of integration and the alpha-lactalbumin amount, can highly repeat.The estimation of alpha-lactalbumin content is as follows in the sample among Figure 16: α-lac m/ α-lac mWild-type, 0.1mg/ml; α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote #76,0.45mg/ml; α-lac h/ α-lac hAutozygote #22,0.9mg/ml.Table 5 illustrates from alpha-lactalbumin concentration in target mouse species and lactating women's the newborn sample.Fairly obvious, Ruzhong alpha-lactalbumin concentration is directly related with gene dosage, as α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote only is half of wild-type alpha-lactalbumin concentration.Because the milk production of these mouse similar (table 4), so the concentration of alpha-lactalbumin provides a reasonable index that shows its synthetic quantity.Heterozygote α-lac m/ α-lac hThe alpha-lactalbumin amount that the relative proportion of people from Ruzhong and mouse alpha-lactalbumin component is expressed from single mouse allelotrope by supposition is 0.043mg/ml, and all the other representative's alpha-lactalbumins.This point with by α-Lac mThe alpha-lactalbumin amount that/α-Lac-heterozygote and wild-type mice are expressed is consistent.Therefore, α-lac m/ α-lac-heterozygote estimates to express 0.61mg/ml human alpha-lactalbumin and 0.043mg/ml mouse alpha-lactalbumin.Therefore, α-lac m/ α-lac hHeterozygote Ruzhong human alpha-lactalbumin is 14 times of mouse alpha-lactalbumin approximately.This and relative mRNA ratio unanimity.
The enhancing of embodiment 8 heterologous genes is expressed
These digital proofs, be included in upstream promoter district in the pHA-2 construction (AUG to-3.7kb) strengthened expression of heterologous genes.Table 7 illustrates the newborn analytical results from the female mouse of the pHA-2 transgenosis person of foundation.Expressed high-caliber people α-lac for 6 in 10 female mouse, but 3 female mouse fail to express the people α-lac (being less than 0.2mg/ml in this analyzes) of detection level, can not transmit transgenosis.We can not affirm that they are low expressers or can not transgenosis.
Table 8: construction PKU-0 to BALT-B all contains ox α-lac promotor (about 2kb), and construction PKU-1H to PKU-16 all contains people α-lac promotor (3.7kb).End user α-lac promotor increases transgene expression to almost 100%.
Data show end user α-lac promotor, than with ox promoter expression efficient height, and can be in more animal body abduction delivering.
