본 발명은 누에 혈림프 특이적 발현 유전자의 프로모터 및 이 유전자의 최대 프로모터 활성영역에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 누에의 혈림프에서 특이적으로 발현되어 형질전환 누에로부터 유용한 유전자 재조합 단백질을 생산하도록 한 누에 혈림프 특이적 발현 유전자의 프로모터 및 이 유전자의 최대 프로모터 활성영역에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to a promoter of a silkworm hemolymph specific expression gene and a maximum promoter active region of the gene, and more particularly, to specifically express a gene in hemolymph of silkworm to produce a useful recombinant protein from a transgenic silkworm. A promoter of a silkworm hemolymph specific expression gene and a maximum promoter active region of the gene.
누에(silkworm, Bombyx mori)는 나비목 누에나방과에 속하는 누에나방의 유충으로서, 알에서 부화한 유충이 발육하여 번데기가 되고, 성충(나방)이 되어 알을 낳고 일생을 마친다. Silkworm (silkworm, Bombyx) mori ) is a larva of the silkworm moth belonging to the genus Moth, and the larvae hatched from eggs develop into pupae and become adult (moths) to lay eggs and finish their lives.
누에알(silkworm egg)은 고치 생산을 위해서 이용되는 누에의 알로써, 1년에 한 번 발생하는 1화성(voltinism, 곤충이 1년간에 몇 세대를 되풀이하는 성질로 유전형질에 의하여 결정되어 있는 특성)과 두 번 발생하는 2화성, 그리고 여러번 발생하는 다화성이 있다. Silkworm egg (silkworm egg) is a silkworm egg used for the production of cocoons. It is a trait that is determined by genotyping that occurs once a year in voltinism. ), Two occurrences of Mars, and multiple occurrences of Mars.
다화성 누에는 열대나 아열대 지역에 적응한 계통이고 우리나라에서 사육하고 있는 누에는 모두 2화성 계통이다. 2화성 품종은 다화성에 비해 알, 누에, 번데기, 나방이 모두 크고 튼튼하며, 고치 무게, 고치층 무게 등 실용형질이 우수하여 실용품종으로 일컫는다. The polymorphic silkworms are adapted to tropical or subtropical areas, and all of the silkworms raised in Korea are bisexual. 2 Martian varieties are large, strong eggs, silkworms, pupa, and moths compared to polymorphism.
최초의 누에 형질전환 연구로 백란계통의 누에알에 흑란계통의 누에알 전체 게놈 DNA를 주입하여 흑란 유도를 시도하였는데, 당 세대에서는 흑란이 유도되었으나, 다음 세대로 형질이 전이되지 않아 실패하였다. In the first silkworm transformation study, we tried to induce black eggs by injecting the whole genome DNA of black silkworm eggs into the silkworm eggs of the white eggs. In this generation, the black eggs were induced, but failed to transfer to the next generation.
이후에도 지속적으로 누에 형질전환을 시도하였지만 실패를 계속 하다가, 2000년도에 나비목 곤충 Trichoplusia ni에서 유래한 피기백 전이인자(piggyBac transposon)을 이용하여 다음 세대의 누에 유충에서 표지유전자를 발현하는 누에를 선발함으로써 누에 형질전환에 성공한 바 있다.He continued to try to transform silkworms, but he continued to fail. In 2000, Lepidoptera insect Trichoplusia PiggyBac transposon derived from ni was used to transform silkworms by selecting silkworms that express marker genes in the next generation of silkworm larvae.
현재까지 누에 형질전환체 선발을 위해서 사용되고 있는 프로모터는 누에의 액틴3 프로모터(BmA3)와 초파리의 홑눈과 신경시스템에서 특이적으로 발현하는 3xP3 프로모터가 사용되고 있다.To date, the promoters used for silkworm transformant selection include the

Currently, several genes that are specifically expressed in silkworm hematopoietic cell have been developed, but research and development on the promoter region that regulates the expression of these genes is insignificant, and specifically, gene expression in whole tissues as in the present invention. No studies have been conducted on hemolymph specific expression promoters that are more active than the BmA3 promoter that regulates the regulation.
본 발명의 목적은 누에의 혈림프에 특이적으로 발현되어 형질전환 누에로부터 유용한 유전자 재조합 단백질을 생산하도록 한 누에 혈림프 특이적 발현 유전자의 프로모터 및 이 유전자의 최대 프로모터 활성영역을 제공하기 위한 것이다. It is an object of the present invention to provide a promoter of silkworm hemolymph specific expressing genes which are specifically expressed in the hemolymph of silkworms to produce a useful recombinant protein from a transgenic silkworm and the maximum promoter active region of the gene.

확인된 약 2.1 kb의 최대 promoter 예상 영역 유전자는 Mlu I (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA)과 Hind III (NEB) 제한효소를 사용하여 절단하고 분리하여 pGL3-Basic plasmid DNA의 동일한 제한효소 부위에 삽입하여 완성하였고 이를 pGL3-sw17255(B)로 명명하였다. A maximum promoter predicted region gene of about 2.1 kb identified was cleaved and isolated using Mlu I (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA) and Hind III (NEB) restriction enzymes and inserted into the same restriction site of pGL3-Basic plasmid DNA. This was completed by the name pGL3-sw17255 (B).
이후 핵심 promoter 영역을 확인하기 위하여 유전자 분절을 구성하였다(도 6). Afterwards, gene segments were constructed to identify key promoter regions (FIG. 6).
서로 다른 크기의 유전자 분절을 위하여 각각 새로운 primer를 제작하였으며, 이 primer들 또한 pGL3-Basic plasmid DNA에 삽입하기 위하여 forward primer는 Mlu I 그리고 reverse primer는 Hind III 제한효소 인식 염기서열을 첨가하여 주었다. PCR 증폭을 위한 주형 DNA는 pGL3-sw17255(B)를 사용하였다. New primers were prepared for different size gene fragments, and the primers also added the Mlu I for the forward primer and the Hind III restriction enzyme recognition sequence for the reverse primer to be inserted into pGL3-Basic plasmid DNA. As template DNA for PCR amplification, pGL3-sw17255 (B) was used.

PCR amplified gene was inserted into the same restriction enzyme site of pGL3-Basic plasmid DNA.
<실시예 3> 듀얼 루시퍼레이즈 분석방법(DUAL-Luciferase Assay)을 이용한 프로모터(promoter) 활성영역 분석<Example 3> Analysis of promoter active region using the dual luciferase assay method (DUAL-Luciferase Assay)
도 5에 나타낸 각 유전자 분절을 대상으로 루시퍼레이즈(Luciferase)의 활성을 분석함으로써 정확한 promoter의 영역을 확립하고자 하였다. By analyzing the activity of luciferase in each gene segment shown in FIG. 5, an accurate promoter region was established.
설명하면, 5령 2일의 백옥잠 누에는 프로모터의 활성을 분석하기 위해 각 plasmid 유전자를 도입하여 Luciferase Assay 실험에 사용하였다. In order to analyze the activity of Baekjam silkworms at 5 days and 2 days, each plasmid gene was introduced and used in the Luciferase Assay experiment.
각 1㎍의 유전자 분절용 플라스미드 DNA(deletion mutant plasmid DNA)들과 대조군으로 pGL3-BmA3 plasmid DNA는 세포내 핵산도입시약(Fugene Transfection Reagent)을 사용하여 누에의 체강에 직접 주사기로 주입하여 유전자를 도입하였다. Each 1 μg of gene fragment plasmid DNA and pGL3-BmA3 plasmid DNA were used as a control to inject the gene directly into the silkworm's body cavity using an intracellular Nucleus Transfection Reagent.
