Abstract
본 발명은 CRBN에 결합하여 CRBN 및 DJ2의 결합을 저해하는 펩티드 및 이를 이용한 알츠하이머 병의 예방, 치료 또는 개선용 조성물 등에 관한 것으로, 본 발명의 펩티드는 DJ2 내의 CRBN 결합 모티프를 모사하므로, CRBN에 결합하여 DJ2와 CRBN의 결합을 방해하여 CRBN에 의한 DJ2의 분해가 억제된다. 그 결과 DJ2가 타우 단백질의 응집을 억제하는 효과가 유지, 향상되므로 알츠하이머 병의 예방, 개선 또는 치료용도로 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.The present invention relates to a peptide that binds to CRBN and inhibits the binding of CRBN and DJ2, and to a composition for preventing, treating or improving Alzheimer's disease using the same. The peptide of the present invention mimics the CRBN binding motif in DJ2 and thus binds to CRBN. This prevents the binding of DJ2 and CRBN, thereby suppressing the degradation of DJ2 by CRBN. As a result, the effect of DJ2 to inhibit tau protein aggregation is maintained and improved, so it can be usefully used for the prevention, improvement, or treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Description
본 발명은 CRBN에 결합하여 CRBN 및 DJ2의 결합을 저해하는 펩티드 및 이를 이용한 알츠하이머 병의 예방, 치료 또는 개선용 조성물 등에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a peptide that binds to CRBN and inhibits the binding of CRBN and DJ2, and a composition for preventing, treating, or improving Alzheimer's disease using the same.
최근 의학의 급속한 발전으로 인간의 평균수명이 늘어나고, 장노년 인구가 증가함에 따라 새로운 사회적 문제들이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 뇌졸중, 알츠하이머병, 파킨슨병 등의 노인성 신경계 질환들은 치명적인 신경계의 기능장애로 나타나며, 현재까지는 이를 치료하기 위한 효과적인 방법이 없다. 특히, 노인성 신경계 질환 중 가장 흔하게 나타나고 있는 것이 알츠하이머(Alzheimer's disease, AD)이다. 알츠하이머는 치매를 일으키는 가장 흔한 퇴행성 뇌질환으로 기억력, 사고력 및 행동상의 문제를 야기하는 뇌 질환이다. 치매는 일상생활을 방해할 정도로 심각한 기억력 및 기타 지적능력의 상실을 의미하는 일반 용어로서 알츠하이머는 치매 사례의 60 내지 80%를 차지한다.Recently, with the rapid development of medicine, the average human lifespan has increased, and as the elderly population increases, new social problems are emerging. In particular, geriatric neurological diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease are caused by fatal nervous system dysfunction, and there is currently no effective method to treat them. In particular, the most common geriatric neurological disease is Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alzheimer's is the most common degenerative brain disease that causes dementia and causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Dementia is a general term meaning loss of memory and other intellectual abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's accounts for 60 to 80% of dementia cases.
알츠하이머의 발병 기전 및 원인은 정확하지 않으나, 신경전달물질인 아세틸콜린의 합성 감소, β-아밀로이드의 침착 및 타우 단백질의 과인산화로 인한 신경세포의 손상이 주요 원인으로 알려져있다. 타우(tau) 단백질은 분자량이 50,000 내지 70,000 Da인 미세소관 결합 단백질의 일종으로, 신경 섬유의 얽힘에 주로 관여한다. 타우 단백질은 현저한 분자적 다양성을 나타내는데, 그 중 가장 잘 알려진 원인은 프롤린 지향성 인산화에 의한 것이다.Although the pathogenesis and cause of Alzheimer's are unclear, the main causes are known to be neuronal damage due to decreased synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, deposition of β-amyloid, and hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Tau protein is a type of microtubule-binding protein with a molecular weight of 50,000 to 70,000 Da, and is mainly involved in the entanglement of nerve fibers. Tau proteins exhibit remarkable molecular diversity, the best known of which is proline-directed phosphorylation.
CRL4CRBN의 기질 수용체인 E3-ligase substrate recruiter cereblon (CRBN)은 thalidomide 및 그의 유도체의 치료 표적이며, 면역 조절 약물 (IMiD)로 알려져 있다. CRBN 돌연변이는 상염색체 열성, 비증후성 정신 지체와 관련이 있다. CRBN은 또한 AMP-활성화된 단백질 키나제, 글루타민 합성 효소, MEIS2 및 이온 채널의 조절에 연관되어 있다.E3-ligase substrate recruiter cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor for CRL4 CRBN , is the therapeutic target of thalidomide and its derivatives and is known as an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). CRBN mutations are associated with autosomal recessive, non-symptomatic mental retardation. CRBN has also been implicated in the regulation of AMP-activated protein kinase, glutamine synthetase, MEIS2, and ion channels.
DNAJ 패밀리는 단백질 폴딩 / 펼치기 / 리폴딩 등 다양한 세포 활동에 관여한다. 그 중 DJ2는 DnaK와 수많은 Hsp70 및 Hsp110와 반응하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이는 안정한 응집체 내에서 잘못 접힌 단백질을 끌어당겨 펼친다. 그러나, DJ2가 전개된 단백질을 인지하는 능력에 더하여 전개 또는 응집을 방지할 수 있는지는 확실하지 않으며 타우 단백질과의 관계도 아직 알려져 있지 않은 상태로, 이에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다.The DNAJ family is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including protein folding/unfolding/refolding. Among them, DJ2 is known to react with DnaK and numerous Hsp70 and Hsp110, which attract and unfold misfolded proteins within stable aggregates. However, it is unclear whether DJ2 can prevent unfolding or aggregation in addition to its ability to recognize unfolded proteins, and its relationship with tau protein is not yet known, so research on this is required.

본 발명에서 상기 알츠하이머 병은 타우 인산화에 의한 것일 수 있다.In the present invention, the Alzheimer's disease may be caused by tau phosphorylation.
본 발명에서 알츠하이머 병이란 치매를 일으키는 가장 흔한 퇴행성 뇌질환으로 서서히 발병하여 기억력을 포함한 인지기능의 악화가 점진적으로 진행된다. 알츠하이머병의 정확한 발병 기전과 원인에 대해서는 정확히 알려져 있지는 않다. 현재 베타 아밀로이드(beta-amyloid)라는 작은 단백질이 과도하게 만들어져 뇌에 침착되면서 뇌 세포에 유해한 영향을 주는 것이 발병의 핵심 기전으로 알려져 있으나, 그 외에도 뇌 세포의 골격 유지에 중요한 역할을 하는 타우 단백질(tau protein)의 과인산화도 뇌 세포 손상에 기여하여 발병에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다.In the present invention, Alzheimer's disease is the most common degenerative brain disease that causes dementia, and it develops slowly and causes gradual deterioration of cognitive functions, including memory. The exact pathogenesis and cause of Alzheimer's disease are not exactly known. Currently, it is known that the core mechanism of the disease is that a small protein called beta-amyloid is excessively produced and deposited in the brain, which has a harmful effect on brain cells. In addition, tau protein (Tau protein), which plays an important role in maintaining the skeleton of brain cells, Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein is also known to contribute to brain cell damage and affect the development of the disease.
타우 단백질은 미세소관을 지지하는 단백질(microtubule-associated protein)인 세포골격 단백질(cytoskeleton protein)로서, 다른 세포에 비하여 중추신경계통(central nervous system)의 신경세포 안에 풍부 하게 존재하며, 과인산화된 타우 단백질의 섬유성 응집이 내부신경세포에 비정상적으로 축적되어 타우 질환(tauopathy)이 발생한다.Tau protein is a cytoskeleton protein that supports microtubules (microtubule-associated protein). It is abundant in neurons of the central nervous system compared to other cells, and hyperphosphorylated tau Tauopathy occurs when fibrous aggregates of protein accumulate abnormally in inner nerve cells.
타우 질환은 알츠하이머성 치매의 주요 병인으로 거론되는 아밀로이드 베타(Aβ, β-amyloid)의 축적이 외부신경세포에서 이루어지는 점에서 구별되고, 특히 유전되는 타우 기인성 치매(tau only dementia)인 전두측두엽 치매 환자에서 외부신경세포에서 아밀로이드 베타의 축적 없이 내부신경세포에서 타우 과인산화와 응집만으로도 치매가 유도되는 점이 확인된 바 있다(van Swieten and Spillantini, 2007).Tau disease is distinguished in that the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ, β-amyloid), which is considered the main cause of Alzheimer's dementia, occurs in external nerve cells, especially in patients with frontotemporal dementia, an inherited tau-related dementia (tau only dementia). It has been confirmed that dementia is induced solely by tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation in inner nerve cells without accumulation of amyloid beta in outer nerve cells (van Swieten and Spillantini, 2007).

<실시예 2: CRBN의 내인성 기질로서 Hsp70 및 그의 공동-샤페론의 동정><Example 2: Identification of Hsp70 and its co-chaperone as endogenous substrates of CRBN>
CRBN 관련 기질만을 식별하기 위해, CRBN의 내인성 기질이 Crbn-/- 마우스 및 세포주에서 과발현 될 수 있다는 가설을 세웠다. 이러한 가설을 입증하기 위해 Crbn-/- 및 Crbn+/+ 마우스의 전체 뇌 용해물 (whole brain lysate, WBL)의 정량적 질량 분석을 수행했다. 3번의 Crbn-/- 마우스 vs. Crbn+/+ 마우스 실험을 통해, 더 높은 스펙트럼 (평균 > 2배 이상)을 갖는 수십 개의 단백질을 발견하였다. 가장 차등적으로 발현된 단백질을 하기 표 2에 기재하였다.To identify only CRBN-related substrates, we hypothesized that endogenous substrates of CRBN might be overexpressed in Crbn −/− mice and cell lines. To substantiate this hypothesis, we performed quantitative mass spectrometry of whole brain lysate (WBL) from Crbn −/− and Crbn +/+ mice. 3 Crbn −/− mice vs. Through experiments with Crbn +/+ mice, dozens of proteins with higher spectra (average > 2 times higher) were discovered. The most differentially expressed proteins are listed in Table 2 below.
WBL (Crbn-/- Vs Crbn+/+)의 LC-MS/MS 분석을 기반으로, Hsp70과 공동 샤페론인 DJ1 및 DJ2가 CRBN의 새로운 내인성 기질일 것으로 예상되었다. pull-down 분석을 통해, Hsp70, DJ1 및 DJ2가 내인성 및 외인성 시스템 둘 다에서 CRBN과 상호 작용한다는 것을 확인하였다(도 1a, 도 9a). CRBN-specific siRNA을 이용하여 CRBN의 발현을 억제하는 경우 내인성 Hsp70, DJ1 및 DJ2에 HA-태그 유비퀴틴의 도입은 크게 감소되었으며 이는 상기 DJ1 등은 CRBN 매개 유비퀴틴화에 의해 분해됨을 의미한다.Based on LC-MS/MS analysis of WBL (Crbn -/- Vs Crbn +/+ ), Hsp70 and co-chaperones DJ1 and DJ2 were predicted to be novel endogenous substrates of CRBN. Through pull-down analysis, we confirmed that Hsp70, DJ1, and DJ2 interact with CRBN in both endogenous and exogenous systems (Figures 1a and 9a). When the expression of CRBN was suppressed using CRBN-specific siRNA, the incorporation of HA-tagged ubiquitin into endogenous Hsp70, DJ1 and DJ2 was greatly reduced, indicating that DJ1 and others were degraded by CRBN-mediated ubiquitination.
또한, FlagCRBN은 재조합 E1, E2, 유비퀴틴 및 ATP가 풍부할 때 in vitro 유비퀴틴화에서 공동 침전된 내인성 샤페론을 증가시켰으며 (도 1e, line 5), 메틸화된 유비퀴틴의 첨가는 유비퀴틴화를 억제하였다 (도 1e, line 4). thalidomide가 샤페론의 유비퀴틴화를 방해하지 않기 때문에, 샤페론과 IMiD의 관련성은 추가로 연구하지 않았다 (도 9b).Additionally, Flag CRBN increased co-precipitated endogenous chaperones upon in vitro ubiquitination when recombinant E1, E2, ubiquitin, and ATP were enriched (Figure 1e, line 5), and addition of methylated ubiquitin inhibited ubiquitination. (Figure 1e, line 4). Because thalidomide does not interfere with the ubiquitination of the chaperone, the association of the chaperone with IMiD was not studied further (Figure 9b).
다음으로 CRBN 녹아웃이 세포에서 샤페론 축적을 촉진하는지 실험하였다. WT-MEF 및 Crbn-/-MEF 세포를 이용하여, cycloheximide(CHX) 존재하에 Hsp70, DJ1 및 특히 DJ2의 분해가 지연되는 것을 관찰되었으며 (도 1f), 이들 샤페론은 MG132로 처리시 Crbn-/-MEF 세포에서 축적되었다 (도 1g). 이러한 결과는 Hsp70, DJ1 및 DJ2가 CRL4CRBN의 신규한 내인성 기질임을 의미한다.Next, we tested whether CRBN knockout promoted chaperone accumulation in cells. Using WT-MEF and Crbn −/− MEF cells, we observed delayed degradation of Hsp70, DJ1 and especially DJ2 in the presence of cycloheximide (CHX) (Figure 1f), and these chaperones were activated in Crbn −/− upon treatment with MG132. accumulated in MEF cells (Figure 1g). These results indicate that Hsp70, DJ1, and DJ2 are novel endogenous substrates of CRL4 CRBN.
<실시예 3: CRBN과 DJ2가 타우의 헤파린 매개 응집에 미치는 영향><Example 3: Effect of CRBN and DJ2 on heparin-mediated aggregation of tau>
인간 Hsp70과 DJ1의 합동 작용 (DJ2는 아님)은 α-synuclein fibril 형성에 효과적인 반전을 초래한다. 이는 Hsp70과의 파트너십으로 J-protein 중에서 훌륭하게 조절된 기질-특이적 선호도를 나타낸다. α-synuclein의 응집을 감소시키는데 있어서 DJ1 및 DJ2의 역할이 연구되었으므로, 본 발명에서는 미세관 관련 단백질 타우 (MAPT 또는 tau)의 응집을 낮추는데 있어 이들의 역할에 초점을 두었다.Joint action of human Hsp70 and DJ1, but not DJ2, results in an effective reversal of α-synuclein fibril formation. This, in partnership with Hsp70, exhibits a well-regulated substrate-specific preference among J-proteins. Since the role of DJ1 and DJ2 in reducing the aggregation of α-synuclein has been studied, the present invention focused on their role in reducing the aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT or tau).
우선, 상이한 조합의 샤페론 및 CRBN의 존재하에 전장 타우 및 절단된 타우 (타우 또는 K18의 반복 도메인)로 시험 관내 응집 분석을 수행하였다. 헤파린 및 dithiothreitol(DTT)에 의해 응집을 유도하였으며, thioflavin T (ThT)-형광 분석 및 투과 전자 현미경 (TEM) 분석을 사용하여 평가하였다 (도 2a 내지 2d). 샤페론과 타우의 인큐베이션은 ThT 염료의 결합 감소를 통해 알 수 있듯이 응집을 감소시켰으며, Hsp70/DJ2가 Hsp70/DJ1보다 더 효과가 있었다 (도 2a). 흥미롭게도, Hsp70만으로는 DJ2에 비해 효율적으로 타우 응집을 제거할 수 없었으며, 이는 DJ2가 타우 본래 형태를 안정화시켜 응집을 막는 것을 의미한다.First, in vitro aggregation assays were performed with full-length tau and truncated tau (repeat domain of tau or K18) in the presence of different combinations of chaperones and CRBN. Aggregation was induced by heparin and dithiothreitol (DTT) and assessed using thioflavin T (ThT)-fluorescence analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis (Figures 2a to 2d). Incubation of tau with the chaperone reduced aggregation, as evidenced by reduced binding of ThT dye, and Hsp70/DJ2 was more effective than Hsp70/DJ1 (Figure 2a). Interestingly, Hsp70 alone was not able to remove tau aggregation as efficiently as DJ2, indicating that DJ2 prevents aggregation by stabilizing the original form of tau.
이에, 타우에 대한 DJ2의 결합을 확인하기 위해 공동 면역 침전 분석을 수행하였다 (도 9c). 타우와 DJ2의 결합은 타우 고유 형태를 안정화시킬 뿐만 아니라 생체내 타우 키나제와 반응을 제한하여 타우의 인산화 및 응집을 감소시킬 수 있다. 한편, CRBN에 의한 DJ2의 제거는 타우 응집을 방지하기 위한 활동을 감소시켰으며(도 2a), DJ2는 전장 타우보다 빠르게 응집되는 K18과 마찬가지로 전장 타우의 응집도 효과적으로 제거함을 확인하였다(도 2b). Therefore, co-immunoprecipitation analysis was performed to confirm the binding of DJ2 to tau (Figure 9c). The binding of tau to DJ2 not only stabilizes the native form of tau, but can also limit the reaction with tau kinase in vivo, reducing phosphorylation and aggregation of tau. Meanwhile, removal of DJ2 by CRBN reduced the activity to prevent tau aggregation (Figure 2a), and it was confirmed that DJ2 effectively removes the aggregation of full-length tau, similar to K18, which aggregates faster than full-length tau (Figure 2b).
앞서 DJ2는 타우의 고유 형태를 안정화시키는 기능이 있음을 보여주었다. 이에, 타우 응집을 제거하는 DJ2의 효과 및 CRBN에 의한 방해 여부를 확인하기 위해 in vivo 및 in vitro 연구를 수행하였다. 타우 병증은 CNS에서 원섬유형 타우 봉입체의 현저한 축적을 특징으로 한다 그러나, 세포 외 타우는 트렌스-세포 증식에서 영향력 있는 역할을 수행한다. 세포 외 단량체 및 seed-competent 타우는 세포에 들어가서 강하게 응집한다. 세포 외 타우의 독성에 대한 DJ2의 효과를 관찰하기 위해, 헤파린-유도 K18 응집체를 DJ2의 존재 또는 부재하에 48 시간 동안 처리하고, SH-SY5Y 세포 외부에 첨가하였다. K18 응집체 처리된 SH-SY5Y 세포에서 대규모 세포 사멸이 관찰되었다. 그러나, 헤파린-유도 응집 이전에 DJ2와 공동 배양된 K18은 현미경 및 MTT 분석을 통해 시각화 된 바와 같이 세포 독성이 없음을 확인하였다 (도 2d). 흥미롭게도 CRBN은 DJ2를 타우에서 분리시켜 DJ2의 샤페론 활성을 방해했다. 비교적 큰 크기의 원섬유형 물질은 neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) 독성 효과의 진행에 중요한 역할을 하는데 뉴런 내부에 축적되어 축삭 이동에 직접적인 물리적 간섭을 일으킬 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 결과는 DJ2가 타우의 응집를 방해하는 반면, CRBN은 DJ2의 유비퀴틴화를 통해 DJ2의 타우 응집 방해 효과를 감소시킨 다는 것을 의미한다.Previously, DJ2 was shown to have the function of stabilizing the native form of tau. Therefore, in vivo and in vitro studies were performed to confirm the effectiveness of DJ2 in eliminating tau aggregation and whether it is interfered with by CRBN. Tauopathies are characterized by significant accumulation of fibrillar tau inclusions in the CNS. However, extracellular tau plays an influential role in trans-cell proliferation. Extracellular monomers and seed-competent tau enter cells and aggregate strongly. To observe the effect of DJ2 on the toxicity of extracellular tau, heparin-induced K18 aggregates were treated with or without DJ2 for 48 h and added outside SH-SY5Y cells. Extensive cell death was observed in SH-SY5Y cells treated with K18 aggregates. However, K18 co-cultured with DJ2 prior to heparin-induced aggregation showed no cytotoxicity, as visualized through microscopy and MTT assay (Figure 2d). Interestingly, CRBN dissociated DJ2 from tau and interfered with the chaperone activity of DJ2. Relatively large fibrillar substances play an important role in the development of toxic effects of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), as they can accumulate inside neurons and cause direct physical interference with axonal movement. These results mean that while DJ2 interferes with tau aggregation, CRBN reduces the effect of DJ2 on interfering with tau aggregation through ubiquitination of DJ2.
<실시예 4: CRBN에 의존하는 유비퀴틴화에 있어서 DJ2의 C-터미널 확장><Example 4: C-terminal extension of DJ2 in CRBN-dependent ubiquitination>
CRBN에 의해 인식된 DJ2의 아미노산 서열을 특정하기 위해, Myc-tagged DJ2 (Myc-DJ2) 및 HA-tagged CRBN (HA-CRBN)에 대한 결실 돌연변이체를 구축하였다(도 3a 및 3b). Pull-down 분석은 CRBN의 N-말단에서 ~80 아미노산의 스트레치 (Lon-N)가 DJ2의 C-말단에서 ~100 개의 아미노산 범위와 상호 작용한다는 것을 보여주었다 (도 3c 및 3d). 상호 작용에 중요한 DJ2 및 CRBN의 시퀀스를 정확히 찾아 내기 위해, 두 단백질의 추가 결실 돌연변이체를 제작하였으며, 이는 CRBN의 ß3 및 ß4 및 DJ2의 C-말단에서 40 개 아미노산의 스팬에 결합하는 ß-turn-ß 루프의 불가 결성을 보여주었다 (도 10a 내지 10d).To specify the amino acid sequence of DJ2 recognized by CRBN, deletion mutants for Myc-tagged DJ2 (Myc-DJ2) and HA-tagged CRBN (HA-CRBN) were constructed (Figures 3a and 3b). Pull-down analysis showed that a stretch of ∼80 amino acids at the N-terminus of CRBN (Lon-N) interacted with a range of ∼100 amino acids at the C-terminus of DJ2 (Figure 3c and 3d). To pinpoint the sequences in DJ2 and CRBN that are important for the interaction, we constructed additional deletion mutants of both proteins, which contain a ß-turn that binds ß3 and ß4 of CRBN and a span of 40 amino acids from the C-terminus of DJ2. showed inability to form the -ß loop (Figures 10a to 10d).
그 다음 단백질-단백질 도킹을 위한 완전 자동화 알고리즘인 ClusPro26을 사용하여 정의된 모든 원자의 3D 좌표를 이용해 CRBN에 도킹된 DJ2의 여러 구조 모델을 분석했다. CRBN (4TZ4)의 결정 구조 및 I-Tasser27 서버에 의해 생성된 DJ2의 구조 모델의 PDB 파일이 이용되었다. 컴퓨터 도킹 데이터뿐만 아니라 체외 co-IP 데이터에 기초하여, CRBN (4TZ4)의 결정 구조 및 I-Tasser27 서버에 의해 생성된 DJ2의 구조 모델의 PDB 파일이 이용되었다. 시험관 내 co-IP 데이터와 계산 도킹 데이터를 기반으로, 본 발명자들은 DJ2의 6 개의 아미노산 (T279-T284) 및 CRBN의 2 개의 아미노산 (E152A, F153A, E152A / F153A)을 개별적으로 또는 조합하여 조작하여 돌연변이를 제작하였다(도 10e). CRBN의 경우, E152 및 F153를 알라닌으로의 돌연변이 시킨 경우 결합력이 저하되었다(도 3e). 특히, DJ2의 모든 돌연변이 체는 D281A, N282A, R283A 및 T284A를 제외하고는 CRBN에 대한 결합을 유지하였으며, 이는 이들 잔기가 DJ2와 CRBN의 결합에 관여한다는 것을 나타낸다 (도 3f).We then analyzed several structural models of DJ2 docked to CRBN using the 3D coordinates of all atoms defined using ClusPro26, a fully automated algorithm for protein-protein docking. The crystal structure of CRBN (4TZ4) and the PDB file of the structural model of DJ2 generated by the I-Tasser27 server were used. Based on computer docking data as well as in vitro co-IP data, the crystal structure of CRBN (4TZ4) and the PDB files of the structural model of DJ2 generated by the I-Tasser27 server were used. Based on in vitro co-IP data and computational docking data, we manipulated six amino acids (T279-T284) of DJ2 and two amino acids (E152A, F153A, E152A/F153A) of CRBN, individually or in combination, to Mutants were constructed (Figure 10e). In the case of CRBN, binding affinity decreased when E152 and F153 were mutated to alanine (Figure 3e). Notably, all mutants of DJ2 retained binding to CRBN except D281A, N282A, R283A and T284A, indicating that these residues are involved in the binding of DJ2 to CRBN (Fig. 3f).
<실시예 5: DJ2의 주요 유비퀴틴화 위치 확인><Example 5: Confirmation of major ubiquitination sites of DJ2>
외인성 유비퀴틴의 형질 감염에 의해 DJ2가 유비퀴틴 화되기 때문에 (도 1d), 본 발명자들은 내인성 유비퀴틴화를 위한 CRL4CRBN에 의해 표적화된 라이신 (Lys 또는 K) 잔기를 확인하고자 하였다. 실험적으로 관찰된 포유 동물 post-translational modification의 포괄적인 데이터베이스인 PhosphoSitePlus28에 따르면, 유비퀴틴화를 겪는 DJ2의 Lys 잔기는 주로 J-도메인 및 C-말단 도메인에 축적된다(도 11a 및 11b). 이러한 Lys 잔기를 아르기닌 (Arg 또는 R)으로 개별적으로 치환하고 유비퀴틴화 분석을 수행하였다. K32R 및 K350R 돌연변이체는 손상된 유비퀴틴화를 나타내었고(도 11c) CHX 추적 분석에서 분해가 지연되었다 (도 4a 및 4b). 이중 돌연변이체 K32R / K350R은 WT-DJ2와 비교하여 유비퀴틴화가 거의 완전히 저해되었다 (도 4a 내지 4c). 이는 K32와 K350이 DJ2의 주요 유비퀴틴화 위치임을 의미한다.Because DJ2 is ubiquitinated by transfection of exogenous ubiquitin (Figure 1D), we sought to identify lysine (Lys or K) residues targeted by CRL4 CRBN for endogenous ubiquitination. According to PhosphoSitePlus28, a comprehensive database of experimentally observed mammalian post-translational modifications, Lys residues of DJ2 that undergo ubiquitination mainly accumulate in the J-domain and C-terminal domains (Figures 11A and 11B). These Lys residues were individually replaced with arginine (Arg or R) and ubiquitination analysis was performed. K32R and K350R mutants showed impaired ubiquitination (Figure 11c) and delayed degradation in CHX tracking assays (Figures 4a and 4b). The double mutant K32R/K350R had almost completely inhibited ubiquitination compared to WT-DJ2 (Figures 4A-4C). This means that K32 and K350 are the main ubiquitination sites of DJ2.
<실시예 6: CRBN 감소가 가벼운 스트레스 및 타우 병리에 미치는 영향 확인><Example 6: Confirmation of the effect of CRBN reduction on mild stress and tau pathology>
타우병증(tauopathies)의 예방을 위한 잠재적인 공동 샤페론으로서 추가 분석을 위해 DJ2를 선택했으며, 다중 모드 chronic ultra-mild stress (CUMS) 패러다임이 사용되었다. Crbn+/+ 마우스에서 CUMS는 급식 관련 행동 감소와 함께 현저한 과잉 행동을 일으켰다. 그러나, Crbn-/- 마우스에서는 전체 스트레스 과정 동안 이러한 행동 변화가 예방되었다(표 3). 타우 인산화는 또한 CUMS의 말미에 대조군 및 스트레스 마우스의 WBL에서 측정되었다. 놀랍게도 Crbn+/+ 마우스와 비교하여 Crbn-/- 마우스의 뇌에서 타우 인산화가 현저하게 감소하였고, Crbn-/- 마우스에서 DJ2 레벨이 증가하였다 (도 5a 및 5b).DJ2 was selected for further analysis as a potential co-chaperone for the prevention of tauopathies, and a multimodal chronic ultra-mild stress (CUMS) paradigm was used. In Crbn +/+ mice, CUMS caused marked hyperactivity along with decreased feeding-related behavior. However, in Crbn −/− mice, these behavioral changes were prevented during the entire stress process (Table 3). Tau phosphorylation was also measured in the WBL of control and stressed mice at the end of CUMS. Surprisingly, tau phosphorylation was significantly reduced in the brains of Crbn −/− mice compared with Crbn +/+ mice, and DJ2 levels were increased in Crbn −/− mice (Figures 5A and 5B).
타우 인산화 감소가 DJ2 단독의 증가된 샤페로닉 활성의 결과인지 또는 타우 단백질을 표적으로 하는 키나제의 활성 또한 손상된 결과인지 여부를 검증하기 위해, 타우 키나제의 활성 형태를 추가로 측정하였다. 그 결과, glycogen synthase kinase 3(GSK-3)의 Ser9 및 Ser21에서의 인산화가 Crbn-/-WBL에서 유의하게 증가하여 GSK-3α / β를 억제하는 것을 확인하였다(도 5c). 마찬가지로, ERK1 / 2 및 p38의 키나제 활성은 그들의 인산화 감소에 의해 감소되는 것으로 밝혀졌다 (도 5c). 따라서, Crbn-/- 마우스에서 개선된 공동-샤페론 활성 및 손상된 타우 키나제 활성은 함께 타우 인산화에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 스트레스 요인에 대한 대처를 용이하게 할 수 있다. Crbn-/- 및 Crbn+/+ 마우스의 WBL에 대한 2D-PAGE 분석을 통해 thioredoxin, peroxiredoxin 및 superoxide dismutase를 포함하는 다양한 항산화 단백질의 수준이 현저히 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있으며(하기 표 4 참조), 이는 스트레스 요인에 저항하는 Crbn-/- 마우스의 특징을 입증한다(도 12).To verify whether the decrease in tau phosphorylation was a result of increased chaperonic activity of DJ2 alone or if the activity of the kinase targeting the tau protein was also impaired, the active form of tau kinase was further measured. As a result, it was confirmed that phosphorylation at Ser9 and Ser21 of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) was significantly increased in Crbn -/- WBL, thereby suppressing GSK-3α / β (Figure 5c). Likewise, the kinase activities of ERK1/2 and p38 were found to be reduced by decreased their phosphorylation (Figure 5c). Therefore, the improved co-chaperone activity and impaired tau kinase activity in Crbn −/− mice may together not only affect tau phosphorylation but also facilitate coping with stressors. 2D-PAGE analysis of WBL from Crbn -/- and Crbn +/+ mice revealed significantly increased levels of various antioxidant proteins, including thioredoxin, peroxiredoxin, and superoxide dismutase (see Table 4 below), which was consistent with stress. We demonstrate the characteristics of Crbn -/- mice that are resistant to factors (Figure 12).
<실시예 7: 타우-타우 상호 작용 및 프리온 유사 확산에 대한 CRBN 감소의 효과 확인><Example 7: Confirmation of the effect of CRBN reduction on tau-tau interaction and prion-like diffusion>
okadaic acid (OA)의 국소 투여는 protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A)를 억제함으로써 해부학적으로 원위 부위에서 타우의 인산화 및 응집을 즉시 유도할 수 있다. 타우의 프리온 유사 확산은 뇌의 다양한 해부학적 영역에서 타우의 인산화 상태를 분석함으로써 확인할 수 있다. 본 발명에서는 상기 전략을 이용하여 타우 인산화에 대한 Crbn-/- 마우스의 반응과 뇌의 다른 영역으로의 타우 인산화 확산을 추가로 검증했다. OA를 Crbn-/- 및 Crbn+/+ 뇌 (M & M)에 입체적으로 주입하고 주입된 반구와 주사되지 않은 반구의 타우 인산화 수준을 분석했다(도 6a). Crbn+/+ 뇌에서 다수의 부위 (예를 들어, pT181, pT231 및 pS403 / 404)에서 타우 인산화의 실질적인 증가가 관찰되었지만, Crbn-/- 뇌에서는 타우 인산화가 훨씬 덜 진행되거나 유의하게 예방됨을 확인하였다(도 6b 및 도 13).Local administration of okadaic acid (OA) can immediately induce phosphorylation and aggregation of tau at anatomically distal sites by inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). The prion-like spread of tau can be confirmed by analyzing the phosphorylation status of tau in various anatomical regions of the brain. In the present invention, we used the above strategy to further verify the response of Crbn −/− mice to tau phosphorylation and the spread of tau phosphorylation to other regions of the brain. OA was stereotactically injected into Crbn −/− and Crbn +/+ brains (M & M) and tau phosphorylation levels in the injected and non-injected hemispheres were analyzed ( Fig. 6A ). Although we observed a substantial increase in tau phosphorylation at multiple sites (e.g., pT181, pT231, and pS403/404) in Crbn +/+ brains, we found that tau phosphorylation was much less advanced or significantly prevented in Crbn −/− brains. (FIGS. 6b and 13).
또한, GSK3α/β의 OA-유도 억제는 Crbn+/+ 마우스보다 Crbn-/-의 WBL에서 더 두드러졌다(도 14). 억제된 타우 인산화는 또한 Myc-tau를 과발현하는 HEK293 세포주에서 CRBN 유전자좌가 CRISPR/Cas9에 의해 방해될 때 관찰되었다 (도 7a 및 7b). Hsp70은 Myc-tau를 과발현하는 Crbn+/+ HEK293 세포주에서 나타나는 tau와 역의 관계를 가진다(Hsp70 및 공동 샤페론도 마찬가지임). 흥미롭게도, CRISPR/Cas9 유래 Crbn-/-세포주(OA 처리에 의해 GSK3α/β가 억제된)에서 샤페론 수치는 감소하지 않았다.Additionally, OA-induced inhibition of GSK3α/β was more pronounced in the WBL of Crbn −/− than Crbn +/+ mice (Figure 14). Inhibited tau phosphorylation was also observed when the CRBN locus was disrupted by CRISPR/Cas9 in HEK293 cell lines overexpressing Myc-tau (Figures 7A and 7B). Hsp70 has an inverse relationship with tau (as do Hsp70 and co-chaperones) in the Crbn +/+ HEK293 cell line overexpressing Myc-tau. Interestingly, chaperone levels were not reduced in CRISPR/Cas9-derived Crbn −/− cell lines (where GSK3α/β was inhibited by OA treatment).
타우 과인산화는 병적인 타우 응집을 초래한다. 타우 응집에 대한 CRBN의 영향을 조사하기 위해 Venus 기반 BiFC 기술을 사용했다. SHSY5Y 세포를 tau-BiFC 작제물의 후속 동시 형질 감염으로, siRNACRBN(또는 대조군 스크램블된 siRNA)을 일시적으로 형질 감염시켰다. OA-유도된 과인산화가 타우 조립을 증가시켜서 예상대로 Venus 형광의 활성화를 야기했지만, CRBN 억제에 의해 이러한 효과는 크게 감소되었다 (도 7c).Tau hyperphosphorylation leads to pathological tau aggregation. Venus-based BiFC technology was used to investigate the effect of CRBN on tau aggregation. SHSY5Y cells were transiently transfected with siRNA CRBN (or control scrambled siRNA), with subsequent co-transfection of tau-BiFC constructs. Although OA-induced hyperphosphorylation increased tau assembly, resulting in activation of Venus fluorescence as expected, this effect was greatly reduced by CRBN inhibition (Figure 7c).
이러한 결과는, CRBN의 부재가 병리학적 타우의 응집 및 확산에 대한 내성을 유도하는 것을 의미한다.These results imply that the absence of CRBN induces resistance to the aggregation and proliferation of pathological tau.
<실시예 8: 신경병증 뮤린 모델에서 DJ2의 억제된 활성 확인><Example 8: Confirmation of suppressed activity of DJ2 in neuropathy murine model>
신경병증 마우스 모델의 질병 발달과 진행에 있어서 CRBN과 DJ2역할을 연구하였다. Amyloid-β(Aβ) 플라크는 병적 타우의 확산을 증가시켜 타우 병증을 촉진하기 때문에 타우 병증 유발 인자 중 하나이다. The roles of CRBN and DJ2 in disease development and progression in a mouse model of neuropathy were studied. Amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques are one of the triggers of tauopathy because they promote tauopathy by increasing the spread of pathological tau.
CRBN이 타우 병증 유도 인자인지 알아 내기 위해, 후기 타우 병증을 나타내는 8개월령 5X-FAD 및 APPNL-G-F knock-in 마우스의 뇌 샘플을 분석하였다. APP 항체 면역 염색 결과, 5XFAD 및 APPNL-G-F knock-in 마우스의 뇌 샘플에서 Aβ 플라크의 존재가 확인되었다 (도 15a).To determine whether CRBN is a tauopathy-inducing factor, brain samples from 8-month-old 5X-FAD and APP NL-GF knock-in mice exhibiting late-stage tauopathy were analyzed. APP antibody immunostaining confirmed the presence of Aβ plaques in brain samples from 5XFAD and APPNL-GF knock-in mice (Figure 15a).
또한, 8개월령 마우스의 해마를 CRBN 및 DJ2 항체로 면역 표지 하였다. 면역 조직 화학 및 웨스턴 블롯에 의해 확인된 바와 같이, 5X-FAD 및 APPNL-G-F knock-in 마우스의 해마 및 피질 영역에서 CRBN의 상승된 발현이 관찰되었다 (도 15b 및 15c). 반면, 같은 위치에서 샤페론 수치는 낮게 나타났다(도 15c). 이러한 결과는 상승된 CRBN가 신경 퇴행에 대한 바이오 마커임을 의미한다. 따라서, CRBN 매개 샤페론 활성 약화는 알츠하이머 병의 추가적 신경 독성 메커니즘일 수 있다.Additionally, the hippocampus of an 8-month-old mouse was immunolabeled with CRBN and DJ2 antibodies. Elevated expression of CRBN was observed in the hippocampus and cortical regions of 5X-FAD and APP NL-GF knock-in mice, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot (Figures 15b and 15c). On the other hand, the chaperone level was low at the same location (Figure 15c). These results imply that elevated CRBN is a biomarker for neurodegeneration. Therefore, CRBN-mediated attenuation of chaperone activity may be an additional neurotoxic mechanism in Alzheimer's disease.
<실시예 9: 본 발명의 펩티드의 CRBN 및 DJ2의 상호작용 억제 확인><Example 9: Confirmation of inhibition of interaction between CRBN and DJ2 by the peptide of the present invention>
CRBN-DJ2 상호 작용 및 CRBN과 상호 작용하는 DJ2의 핫스팟 영역에 기초하여 펩티드 억제제 설계를 시도하였다. 시스테인 잔기를 펩티드 양쪽 끝에 첨가하여 펩티드를 원형화 시켰다 (도 15d). 이것은 DJ2 루프와 CRBN의 상호 작용에 필요한 형태를 얻기 위해 수행되었다 (도 10e). 설계된 펩티드의 농도를 0 내지 30 μM로 변경해가며 처리한 결과, 10 μM 농도의 펩티드 억제제를 처리한 경우 CoIP 분석 결과에 나타난 바와 같이 CRBN과 DJ2 사이의 상호 작용을 완전히 차단하였다 (도 15e).We attempted to design peptide inhibitors based on the CRBN-DJ2 interaction and the hotspot region of DJ2 that interacts with CRBN. The peptide was circularized by adding cysteine residues to both ends of the peptide (Figure 15d). This was done to obtain the conformation required for the interaction of CRBN with the DJ2 loop (Fig. 10e). As a result of varying the concentration of the designed peptide from 0 to 30 μM, treatment with a 10 μM concentration of peptide inhibitor completely blocked the interaction between CRBN and DJ2, as shown in the CoIP analysis results (FIG. 15e).
CRBN의 화학적 knockdown은 DJ2 이외 내인성 기질의 모집 및 유비퀴틸화 유지를 위해 세포에 바람직한 전략이 아닐 수 있다. 따라서, 핫스팟 잔기에 기초한 펩티드를 이용하는 것은 CRBN을 마스킹 할 수 있고, DJ2와 CRBN의 상호 작용을 방해하여 DJ2의 유비퀴틸화를 억제하고 병리학적 타우 인산화의 선택적 억제에 유용하다.Chemical knockdown of CRBN may not be a desirable strategy for cells to maintain recruitment and ubiquitination of endogenous substrates other than DJ2. Therefore, utilizing peptides based on hotspot residues can mask CRBN, inhibit the ubiquitination of DJ2 by interfering with the interaction of CRBN with DJ2, and are useful for selective inhibition of pathological tau phosphorylation.
<실시예 10: 선형 및 원형 펩티드를 이용한 CRBN과 DJ2 결합저해능 확인><Example 10: Confirmation of CRBN and DJ2 binding inhibition ability using linear and circular peptides>
CRBN-DJ2 상호 작용의 상기 결과를 고려하여, CRBN과 상호 작용하는 DJ2의 핫스팟 영역을 기반으로 선형(서열번호 1) 및 원형(서열번호 3) 펩타이드를 설계하였다. 원형의 경우 선형 펩티드의 양쪽 끝에 시스테인 잔기를 첨가하여 펩티드를 원형화 시켰다. 상기 펩타이드를 이용하여 면역침강을 수행한 결과 도 16에 나타난 바와 같이 두 형태의 펩티드 모두 유의미한 CRBN과 DJ2 결합저해능을 보였다.Considering the above results of CRBN-DJ2 interaction, linear (SEQ ID NO: 1) and circular (SEQ ID NO: 3) peptides were designed based on the hotspot region of DJ2 that interacts with CRBN. In the case of circularity, the peptide was circularized by adding cysteine residues to both ends of the linear peptide. As a result of immunoprecipitation using the above peptide, both types of peptides showed significant inhibition of CRBN and DJ2 binding, as shown in Figure 16.
<실시예 11: 원형 펩티드 및 이의 스크램블 펩티드를 이용한 CRBN과 DJ2 결합저해능 확인><Example 11: Confirmation of CRBN and DJ2 binding inhibition ability using circular peptide and its scrambled peptide>

In order to prove that the amino acid sequence of the peptide of the present invention has the ability to inhibit CRBN and DJ2 binding, immunoprecipitation was performed by preparing a scrambled peptide in which the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 3 and the amino acids constituting the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 3 were mixed in random order.
구체적으로, SH-SY5Y 세포는 Myc-DJ2 및 FLAG-CRBN으로 일시적으로 공동 형질 감염되었다. 세포 추출물을 스크램블 펩티드 또는 서열번호 3의 펩티드로 24 시간 동안 처리하였다. 세포 추출물을 토끼 (Rb)의 α-FLAG 항체로 면역 침전시키고 마우스 (Ms)의 Myc 및 FLAG 항체로 면역 블롯하여 IgG 중쇄의 밴드를 제거하였다. 데이터는 평균 ± SD로 표시되었다. n = 5. Student's t 테스트가 사용되었다.Specifically, SH-SY5Y cells were transiently co-transfected with Myc-DJ2 and FLAG-CRBN. Cell extracts were treated with scrambled peptide or peptide of SEQ ID NO: 3 for 24 hours. Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with α-FLAG antibody from rabbit (Rb) and immunoblotted with Myc and FLAG antibodies from mouse (Ms) to remove bands of IgG heavy chains. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. n = 5. Student's t test was used.
그 결과 도 17a 내지 17d에 나타난 바와 같이 원형 팹티드(서열번호 3, 도 17b의 DJ2 peptide)은 스크램블 펩티드에 비해 CRBN과 DJ2의 결합을 우수하게 저해함을 확인하였다.As a result, as shown in Figures 17a to 17d, it was confirmed that the circular peptide (SEQ ID NO: 3, DJ2 peptide in Figure 17b) inhibited the binding of CRBN and DJ2 better than the scrambled peptide.
<실시예 12: 테트라펩티드의 CRBN과 DJ2 결합저해능 확인><Example 12: Confirmation of the ability of tetrapeptide to inhibit CRBN and DJ2 binding>
가장 강력한 억제제는 일반적으로 500Da 미만이므로 펩티드 억제제의 크기를 줄이기 위해 핫스팟의 가장 중요한 잔기을 덮는 펩티드로 실험을 반복한 결과, DNRT 서열(서열번호 2)이 핵심적임을 확인하였다(도 18 참조). 이에 DNRT 펩티드 및 이의 스크램블 펩티드를 준비하여 CRBN과 DJ2 결합저해능을 확인하였다.Since the most potent inhibitor is generally less than 500 Da, the experiment was repeated with a peptide covering the most important residue of the hotspot to reduce the size of the peptide inhibitor, and it was confirmed that the DNRT sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2) was critical (see FIG. 18). Accordingly, DNRT peptide and its scramble peptide were prepared and their ability to inhibit CRBN and DJ2 binding was confirmed.
구체적으로, SH-SY5Y 세포는 Myc-DJ2 및 FLAG-CRBN으로 일시적으로 공동 형질 감염되었다. 세포 추출물을 스크램블 펩티드 또는 서열번호 2의 펩티드로 24 시간 동안 처리하였다. 세포 추출물은 마우스 (Ms)의 α-Myc 항체로 면역 침전되었고 토끼 (Rb)의 FLAG 및 Myc 항체로 면역 블롯팅되었다. 데이터는 평균 ± SD로 표시되었다. n = 5.

Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with α-Myc antibody from mouse (Ms) and immunoblotted with FLAG and Myc antibodies from rabbit (Rb). Data were expressed as mean ± SD. n = 5. Student's t test was used.
그 결과 비교적 더 높은 농도의 ~30 μM의 테트라 펩티드는 CoIP 분석에서 볼 수 있듯이 CRBN과 DJ2 사이의 상호 작용을 유의미하게 차단했지만 스크램블된 펩티드는 불가능함을 확인하였다(도 19a 내지 19c 참조).As a result, it was confirmed that a relatively higher concentration of ~30 μM tetra peptide significantly blocked the interaction between CRBN and DJ2, as seen in CoIP analysis, but the scrambled peptide could not (see FIGS. 19A to 19C).
