A kind of active reorganization amidating enzyme and the amidation of polypeptide modified use
The present invention relates to the genetically engineered activity expression of amidating enzyme and to the C of polypeptide end amidation processing.
The C-terminal such as hormone, neuropeptide, phallotoxins that have pharmaceutical use in a large number are amidation and modify, and this all is crucial to its biological activity and stability.Thyrocalcitonin for example, if substitute natural amidation Pro with non-amidated Pro residue, then its biological activity will descend 3,000 times.This translation post-treatment process by amidating enzyme-peptidylglycine acidylate monooxygenase (Peptidylglycine α-Amidating Monooxygenase, PAM, EC1.14.17.3) catalysis finish (Bradbury A.F., et al., 1982, Nature, 298:686).Amidating enzyme is present in batrachians widely in people's tissue, and higher homology is arranged.But in prokaryotic organism such as intestinal bacteria that genetically engineered is commonly used and the insect cell line set up, but lack this enzymic activity, the amidation after expression product is not translated is processed.
Thereby the development research of amidating enzyme just seems very necessary.PAM can separation and purification from content and active high tissue, for example serum, human thyroid, frog skin, rat marrow sample thyroid tumor tissue and cell strain, Pigs Hearts room, pig pituitary etc., the existing in the world many patent reports of this respect.But from natural tissues, extract the method for amidating enzyme, be subjected to the restriction of material source, purifying process is loaded down with trivial details, purified product often has the pollution of the proteolytic enzyme in the tissue in addition, in modification to polypeptide, cause degraded, thereby influence its further Application and Development substrate, amidated products and enzyme itself.Producing amidating enzyme with gene engineering method, is another approach.
PAM cDNA is cloned from multiple kind, and obtain activity expression in multiple mammalian cell (Eipper B.A., et al., 1991, J.Biol.Chem., 266:7827; Kato I., et al., 1990, Biochem.Biophy.Res.Commun., 172:197; Mains R.E., et al., 1991, Mol.Endocrinol. 5:187), but only limits to fundamental research.Also yet there are no the report of activity expression in intestinal bacteria, renaturation is also very difficult.Rhabdovirus expression vector is the new expression vector system that development in recent years is got up, utilize this system can be in insect cell and polypide efficiently expressing exogenous gene, output can be far above mammalian cell, and more perfect translation post-treatment system arranged, as disulfide linkage pairing, glycosylation etc., therefore in genetically engineered drug production, have more potential advantage (Karl M. than systems such as bacterium, yeast, mammalian cells, et al., 1994, Insect Cell Biotechnology, CRC press).
PAM is found first bifunctional enzyme in the polypeptide biosynthesizing, two catalyst structure domain-oxydase (PHM) and lyase (PAL) are arranged, under the physiological pH condition, the amidated two-step reaction of order catalysis: terminal for the peptide precursor of Gly at first is oxidized to peptide acyl hydroxylation glycine intermediate by PHM, be cracked into amidated products and oxoethanoic acid through PAL then.But find in the research, do not need the effect of PAL under the alkaline condition, but the intermediate spontaneous transformation be product (Eipper B.A., et al., 1991, J.Biol.Chem., 266:7827).Thereby in amidate action, PHM is more even more important than PAL.Since only PHM can satisfy the requirement of amidation processing, and in general, single PHM of expression is than expressing the PAM holoenzyme, and is easier and productive rate is high, so the activity expression of PHM is more meaningful in the genetically engineered of amidating enzyme is produced.
For this reason, the objective of the invention is PHM catalytic structure domain encoding sequence with clone's the rat that has signal peptide and leading peptide, be recombined into insect baculovirus and shift in the expression vector, realize activity expression in insect cell sf21, expressed products can be directly used in the amidation of peptidylglycine and modify.
The invention provides the PHM catalyst structure domain encoding gene of a kind of clone's the rat that has signal peptide and leading peptide.By hybridization of phage original position and PCR method, from the brain cDNA storehouse of rat, screen PAM three gene fragments (among Fig. 1 fragment P for the sieve storehouse probe, a, b and c are the PAM gene fragment that is screened), through the DNA complete sequence analysis, fragment a is 502bp, coding rPAM N end signal peptide, leading peptide and part maturation protein part; Fragment b is 422bp, the partial sequence of the oxydase structural domain PHM of coding rPAM; Fragment c is 2388bp, the sequence of comprise encoding part oxydase structural domain PHM, whole lyase PAL structural domain, stride the film region sequence, C holding cytoplasmic region and a part 3 ' end non-translated sequence.Above-mentioned three gene fragments are overlapped, and cross over the holoenzyme encoding sequence of rPAM, but their no suitable restriction enzyme sites are recombinated.By the appropriate design primer, the encoding sequence of PHM among the fragment c is gone out with pcr amplification, and recombinates by PCR with fragment a and b, obtain complete PHM encoding sequence (Fig. 2, Fig. 3);
The present invention also provides insect baculovirus transfer expression plasmid pBacPHM2 that contains the PHM gene and the recombinant virus BacPHM that is used in secreting, expressing active form PHM among insect cell sf21 or the sf9 (by Beijing China Committee for Culture Collection of Microorganisms common micro-organisms center (CGMCC) preservation, on March 5th, 1997, deposit number is CGMCC0295).Complete PHM encoding sequence (containing signal peptide and leading peptide) with the splicing acquisition, by restriction enzyme site EcoRI and BamHI, insert insect baculovirus and shift expression vector pBacPAK8 (CLONTECH company product, catalog number are 6145-1), be built into expression plasmid pBacPHM2 (Fig. 4); The autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus BacPAK6 linearizing DNA cotransfection Spodoptera frugiperda cell sf21 of pBacPHM2 and modification obtains at the recombinant virus BacPHM that examines the PHM gene under polyhedrin gene promoter (polyhedrin promoter) control by homologous recombination.
The present invention also provides the activity expression product-single function amidating enzyme PHM after BacPHM infects the sf21 cell.Infect the sf21 cell with BacPHM, the serum-free culture supernatant detects the highest vigor of amidating enzyme (Fig. 5) behind 72h; Secrete enzyme activity to the substratum far above (Fig. 7) in the born of the same parents; Western blotting (western blot) through the specific antibody of poly-propionic acid amide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and PAM is analyzed, the expression product molecular weight be about 41kD (Fig. 6, C and S be respectively infection BacPHM's~10
5Reach the albumen in~10 μ l substratum supernatants in the individual sf21 cell born of the same parents, C0 and S0 are respectively in the sf21 cell born of the same parents that infect BacPAK6 and the albumen in the substratum supernatant.); The output of secreting to the substratum is about 1 μ g/ml substratum.Reorganization PHM can be that the polypeptide of Gly carries out amidation and modifies to C-terminal.With α-N-acetyl-Tyr-Val-Gly tripeptides is substrate, and its amidate action optimal pH is about 5.0 (Fig. 8).
The present invention also utilizes the PHM of reorganization that peptidylglycine is carried out amidation and modifies.With α-N-acetyl-Tyr-Val-Gly and D-Tyr-Val-Gly is example, and under subacidity and condition of neutral pH, PHM can transfer them respectively to α-N-acetyl-Tyr-Val-Gly (OH) and D-Tyr-Val-Gly (OH) intermediate product; And when adding 0.1M NaOH in the reaction system, the intermediate product that is generated can transfer amidated products fully in 1 minute; Substrate can separate by HPLC with product.
To sum up, advantage of the present invention is as follows: utilize baculovirus expression system at the expressed in insect cells amidating enzyme, output can also be set up suspension culture system far above mammalian cell, is beneficial to the industrialization production of this enzyme; Simultaneously in insect cell, introduced the amidating enzyme activity, be beneficial to the translation of expressed in insect cells product after amidation modify; Single PHM of expression is than expressing the PAM holoenzyme, and it is transcribed, translation efficiency wants high, and expression product will be stablized, and does not relate to two structural domains influencing each other in folding in the holoenzyme, and can satisfy the requirement of amidation processing; The PHM of clonal expression has signal peptide and leading peptide, effectively guided the outer of expression product to secrete, be beneficial to the purifying and the stability of product, avoid the degraded of intracellular protein enzyme, also the screening for recombinant virus provides convenience, only need to detect the amidating enzyme activity of emiocytosis to the serum free medium, can choose positive-virus.The active PHM of expressed in insect cells all has great importance in fundamental research and pharmaceutical developments application facet.
