Description

Human complement c 3 degradation property polypeptide from streptococcus pneumoniae
Abstract of invention
This relates to evaluation and uses the human complement c 3 degradation property peptide family that streptococcus pneumoniae showed.This polypeptide has for example about 15kDa to about 25kDa or the about 75kDa molecular weight of about 95kDa extremely.The preferred polypeptide of the present invention comprises the aminoacid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:5.
Invention field
The present invention relates to streptococcus pneumoniae (Streptococcus pneumoniae) and be particularly related to a kind of evaluation of streptococcus pneumoniae polypeptides, this polypeptide people's complement proteins C3 that can degrade.
Background of invention
The respiratory tract infection that streptococcus pneumoniae is caused causes every year estimates about 500,000 routine pneumonia and 47,000 people's death.To have high risk person be baby below two years old in streptococcal infection to bacterial pneumonia, individual that function of immune system is impaired and the elderly.In these groups, streptococcus pneumoniae is bacterial pneumonia and meningitic major cause.And then streptococcus pneumoniae is the has age children's of institute an otic infections main cause.Children and old man be at bacterial colonization (colonization), after part or the systemic infection or with after the purifying polysaccharide immunization, for the protection antibody of streptococcus pneumoniae pod membrane polysaccharide synthetic obstacle arranged.Be all the invasive bacterium for adult that streptococcus pneumoniae infects for HIV or the children and inhale the main cause of exhaling tract disease, and cause courageous and upright infection the (people such as Connor, Current Topics in AIDS1987 on one's body these patients; People such as 1:185-209 and Janoff, Ann.Intern.Med.1992:117 (4): 314-324).
The individuality that shows the greatest danger for severe infections can't produce antibody to existing pod membrane polysaccharide vaccine.As a result, there is four kinds of combinations (conjugate) vaccine to enter clinical experimental stage at present.Combined vaccine comprises and protein carrier or adjuvant bonded streptococcus pneumoniae pod membrane polysaccharide that hope can be strengthened antibody response.Yet the combined vaccine in clinical trial has other potential difficult problem in addition.For example, U.S.'s streptococcus pneumoniae serotype very in vogue with in for example Israel, West Europe, the modal serotype difference in ground such as South Africa or Scandinavia.Therefore, may be disadvantageous at a favourable vaccine in local region in another area.As for modifying present available pod membrane polysaccharide vaccine or development protein conjugate potential demand as the pod membrane vaccine that adapts to region serotype difference, the generation money and the technical complicacy of making us halting then.Therefore, for the prevention of streptococcus pneumoniae infection and prepare for the extensive protectiveness Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine, looking for the immunogenicity with whole world conservative property in the different serotype that virulence is arranged, to expose protein be most important.And the plain resistance streptococcus pneumoniae of penicillin and head-germ spore appears in ecumenicity ground, makes for the demand of effective vaccine most urgent (people such as Baquero, J.Antimicrob.Chemother.1991; 28S; 31-8).
There are several streptococcus pneumoniae protein to be suggested the immune response that combines or excited originally the antagonism streptococcus pneumoniae with streptococcus pneumoniae pod membrane polysaccharide as single immunity.Existing report is pointed out, adheres to the relevant surface protein of airway epithelial cell with streptococcus pneumoniae and comprises PsaA, PspC/CBP112 and IgA1 proteolytic enzyme (people such as Sampson, Infect.Immun.1994; 62:319-324, people such as Sheffield, Microb.Pathogen.1992; People such as 13:261-9 and Wani Infect.Immun.1996; 64:3967-3974).The antibody that resists these attachment proteinses can suppress streptococcus pneumoniae and adhere to airway epithelial cell, moves life thereby reduce.Other tenuigenin streptococcus pneumoniae protein as pneumolysin, autolysin, neuraminidase or Unidasa is suggested as vaccine antigen, because antibody can potentiality stop these protein at streptococcus pneumoniae infection patient toxic action on one's body.Yet these protein are not the surface that is positioned at streptococcus pneumoniae usually, but when cytolysis and when dead from bacterium secrete or discharge (people such as Lee, Vaccine 1994; People such as 12:875-8 and Berry, Infect.Immun.1994; 62:1101-1108).Though use these cytoplasmic proteins can relax the Late Effect of streptococcus pneumoniae infection as immunogen, resist these proteinic antibody and neither can promote streptococcus pneumoniae death, can not prevent that initial or follow-up streptococcus pneumoniae from moving life yet.
The prototype surface protein that is carrying out the Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine test is pneumococcal surface protein matter A (PspA).PspA is the heterologous protein of about 70-140kDa.The structure of PspA comprises: at N-terminal α spiral, then be the sequence of proline rich, and at the carboxylic end with a series of 11 choline binding tumor-necrosis factor glycoproteinss as end.Though be known with many information of its structurally associated, PspA is between different streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes and the non-structure conservative property, and its function unknown fully (people such as Yother, J.Bacteriol.1992; 174:601-9 and Yother, J.Bacteriol.1994; 176:2976-2985).Studied immunogenicity (people such as McDaniel, the Microb.Pathogin.1994 of PspA verified animal; 17:323-337).Though PspA has immunogenicity, its as the ability of vaccine antigen because of the heterology of PspA, its with four structure groups exist with and do not give qualitatively that function makes situation become complicated.
Can't produce on one's body the patient of protection antibody the third composition C3 of complement and substitute the relevant protein in complement path and constitute the first line of defence that the host resists streptococcus pneumoniae infection to type-specificity polysaccharide pod membrane.Because complement protein can not penetrate the firm cell walls of streptococcus pneumoniae, the deposition of conditioning property C3b on the streptococcus pneumoniae surface becomes the main vehicle of removing streptococcus pneumoniae.Interaction in streptococcus pneumoniae and the blood plasma between the C3 has been notified when streptococcus pneumoniae property microbemia and has been taken place, and the covalent attachment of C3b this moment (the opsonic activity fragment of C3) activates cytophagous identification and engulfs (people such as Johnston, J.Exp.Med.1969; 129:1275-1290, Hasin HE, J.Immunol.1972; People such as 109:26-31 and Hostetter, J.Infect.Dis.1984; 150:653-61).C3b is deposited on streptococcus pneumoniae pod membrane and the cell walls.Yet the effect of the method for this control streptococcus pneumoniae infection is on duty mutually.Excite the method for streptococcus pneumoniae opsonization can improve the lysis that this microorganism causes.Method and treatment for the restriction streptococcus pneumoniae infection at present still has tight demand.

GAAAACAATAATGTAGAAGACTACTTTAAAGAAGCTTTAGA
The complete open reading frame of 20kDa polypeptide has 500 base pairs (SEQ ID NO:1), predicted molecular weight be about 20kDa (+/-polypeptide of 168 amino acid (SEQ ID NO:2) 5kDa) or approximately arranged.The exemplary genes sequence of coding C3-degradation property polypeptide is shown in Fig. 1 (SEQ ID NO:1), and this amino acid sequence of polypeptide is shown in Fig. 2 (SEQ IDNO:2).Fig. 3 is combined into SEQ ID NOS:1-3 with preferable gene order with corresponding preferable translation polypeptide.
Use SEQ ID NO:2, determine that this about 20kDa amino acid sequence of polypeptide is irrelevant with other polypeptide in GenBank or Switzerland Prot database.The polypeptide of prediction has the sequence signature of the proline rich (particularly between amino acid 80-108) of prokaryotic cell prokaryocyte membrane protein, and this hints that this expression of polypeptides is on cell surface.This aminoacid sequence does not show tangible choline-associativity tumor-necrosis factor glycoproteins.To on the SDS-PAGE gel that soaks into C3, carry out electrophoresis from the streptococcus pneumoniae solute and the supernatant liquor of CP1200 culture, both all identify about 20kDa (± 5kDa) band confirm to have as SEQ ID NO:2 and predicts that big or small polypeptide has C3-degrading activity (seeing embodiment 2) at supernatant liquor and solute.As described in embodiment 3, the gene of the C3-degradation property polypeptide of this 20kDa that encodes all has conservative property in 24 streptococcus pneumoniae strain isolateds representing 5 serotypes ( serotype 1,3,4,14, and 19F) at least.
The nucleotide sequence of code book invention C3-degradation property polypeptide is inserted into expression vector and is used for expressing intestinal bacteria (E.coli).As described in embodiment, regroup C3-degradation property polypeptide is separated.One skilled in the art will understand that, with regard to a specific gene sequence (as the SEQ ID NO:1 supplier of institute), can use different expression vectors to express this gene.And then, can use currently known methodss different in this area to produce and separate recombinant polypeptide of the present invention, and one skilled in the art also can understand, C3 degradation test of the present invention will determine whether the particular expression system except the expression system that is proposed in an embodiment has function, and need not further test.In the basic technology document, can find many different molecules and immunological technique, as people such as Sambrook (Molecular Cloning-A Laboratory Manual, 1989 Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryPress, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) and people (Antibodies such as Harlow; A Laboratory Manual.Cold Spring Harbor, NY; Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1988).
The polynucleotide of code book invention C3 degradation property polypeptide are to identify with the prepared plasmid gene of the streptococcus pneumoniae genomic DNA fragment storehouse of CP1200 bacterial strain.Though known have many diverse ways can obtain the plasmid gene storehouse, with preferable strategy, the structure in plasmid gene storehouse is to use from streptococcus pneumoniae CP1200 bacterial strain (to derive from D.A.Morrison, University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana, Illinois, and as people Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci. (USA) 1995 such as Havarstein LF; 92:11140-11144 describes) the streptococcus pneumoniae genomic DNA fragment (0.5-4.0kb) through Sau3A cutting, and insert imbedibility shuttle vectors pVA891 (erm r, cm rHave colibacillary replication orgin) the BamHI position.Utilize electroporation to remove transformed into escherichia coli DH5 α MCR bacterial strain this gene pool.In the intestinal bacteria transformant that some are selected at random, extract plasmid, show that all transformants all contain the regroup plasmid.
Plasmid gene storehouse DNA can extract in the intestinal bacteria transformant, and is used to transform CP1200 parental generation streptococcus pneumoniae strain, and this conversion realizes with the sudden change of the homologous recombination property inserted.
The step transitions that S. pneumoniae strains CP1200 cell can be in the CTM substratum moves pH in order to HCl is a competent cell.Competent cell is frozen in-70 ℃ till needs use in a small amount of packing mode.
Isolated polypeptide of the present invention and human complement C 3 were cultivated 4 hours or more of a specified duration to detect the C3 Degradation in 37 ℃ in the presence of PBS.The control sample that does not have the separation streptococcus pneumoniae polypeptides can be used as the control group of comparison purpose.
