본 발명은 높은 교차오염 방지 능력을 갖는 열 불안정성 우라실 DNA 글리코실라제(UDG)에 관한 것으로, 구체적으로는 열민감성이 높아 PCR 과정 중에 열에 의해 쉽게 불활성화 되며, 한번 불활성화가 되고 나면 재활성화가 잘 일어 나지 않는 새로운 열민감성 돌연변이 UDG에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a heat-labile uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) having high cross-contamination prevention ability, and specifically, because of its high heat sensitivity, it is easily inactivated by heat during a PCR process, and once inactivated, reactivation is difficult. It is about a new heat-sensitive mutant UDG that does not occur well.

중합효소연쇄반응(PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction) 기반의 분자진단은 PCR법을 사용하여 특정 DNA를 증폭하여 질병이나 유전자형을 확인하는 검사이다. 중합효소 연쇄반응은 내열성 세균 유래의 DNA 합성효소를 이용하여 시험관 내에서 특정 핵산 부위를 대량으로 증폭하여 유용한 유전자를 분리하거나 확인한다(Erlich, 1989; Shin 등, 2005).Molecular diagnosis based on PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a test that confirms a disease or genotype by amplifying a specific DNA using the PCR method. Polymerase chain reaction uses DNA synthase derived from heat-resistant bacteria to amplify a specific nucleic acid site in large quantities in vitro to isolate or identify useful genes (Erlich, 1989; Shin et al., 2005).

PCR은 매우 민감하고 신속한 분자 진단 검사법이지만 검출하고자 하는 대상과 PCR에 의해 증폭된 산물이 DNA로 서로 동일하기 때문에 위양성 문제가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 특히, 이전 반응에서 증폭된 PCR 산물이나 검체의 처리 과정 중에 발생된 캐리오버 오염(carry-over contamination)에 의해 위양성 증폭이 일어날 수 있다. 실제로 PCR 진단검사를 실시하는 진단 실험실의 경우 동일한 프라이머를 사용하는 PCR 증폭 실험을 수천에서 수만 회 반복해서 진행하기 때문에, 이전 반응에서 증폭된 PCR 산물이 에러로졸 등의 형태로 공기 중을 떠돌다가 다음번 반응 튜브에 혼입되어 위양성 증폭을 일으킨다는 예는 다양하게 보고되어 오고 있다.PCR is a very sensitive and rapid molecular diagnostic test, but since the target to be detected and the product amplified by PCR are identical to each other as DNA, false positives are likely to occur. In particular, false positive amplification may occur due to carry-over contamination generated during the processing of a PCR product or sample amplified in a previous reaction. In the case of diagnostic laboratories that actually conduct PCR diagnostic tests, PCR amplification experiments using the same primers are repeated thousands to tens of thousands of times, so the PCR products amplified in the previous reaction float in the air in the form of aerosols, etc. Various examples have been reported of mixing in the next reaction tube and causing false positive amplification.

이러한 캐리오버 오염을 해결하기 위해 현재 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 Uracil DNA Glycosylase를 이용한 방법이다. 우라실-DNA 글리코실라제 (uracil-DNA glycosylase; 이하 "UDG" 라고 함)는 손상된 DNA를 회복시키는 효소로써 DNA의 손상부위를 인식하여 DNA 내의 우라실 염기와 데옥시리보오스 당 (deoxyribose sugar) 사이의 N-글리코시드 결합을 가수분해하여 DNA 내에서 손상된 염기를 제거한다. UDG는 DNA 내의 염기 중에서 우라실 염기만을 특이적으로 제거하는 기질에 대한 특이성이 있다(Lindahl, 1974; Cone 등, 1977).The most widely used method to solve this carryover contamination is the method using Uracil DNA Glycosylase. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (hereafter referred to as "UDG") is an enzyme that repairs damaged DNA and recognizes the damaged site of DNA to form an N between uracil base and deoxyribose sugar in DNA. -Hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds to remove damaged bases in DNA. UDG has specificity for substrates that specifically remove only uracil bases among bases in DNA (Lindahl, 1974; Cone et al., 1977).

UDG 처리법은 먼저, PCR 반응액에 dTTP/dUTP의 혼합물을 첨가하여 PCR을 수행함으로써 T와 U가 혼합된 증폭산물을 만들어낸다. 이후 반응부터는 PCR 반응을 수행할 때 UDG 효소를 PCR 반응액에 첨가하여 37~50℃, 5~30분의 선행 반응을 포함시켜 PCR 진단을 수행한다. 이러한 과정을 통해 Carryover contamination이 발생할 경우 오염된 DNA는 dU를 포함하게 되며, 이들은 UDG에 의해 U base가 제거된다. UDG가 처리되어 베이스가 없어진 DNA는 불안정하기 때문에 PCR 과정 중에 열에 의해 짧은 단편으로 잘려지게 되고, 따라서 이들은 더이상 주형 DNA로 사용되지 못한다.In the UDG treatment method, PCR is first performed by adding a mixture of dTTP/dUTP to the PCR reaction solution, thereby generating an amplification product in which T and U are mixed. From the subsequent reaction, PCR diagnosis is performed by including the preceding reaction at 37 to 50 ° C. for 5 to 30 minutes by adding the UDG enzyme to the PCR reaction solution when performing the PCR reaction. When carryover contamination occurs through this process, the contaminated DNA contains dU, and the U base is removed by UDG. Because the base-free DNA treated with UDG is unstable, it is cut into short fragments by heat during the PCR process, and thus they cannot be used as template DNA any longer.

UDG 처리법은 필요한 시약(UDG 효소, dUTP)을 PCR 반응액에 포함된 채로 사용할 수 있으며 일반적인 PCR 프로그램에 한 step만 추가해주면 되기 때문에 단일 반응/단일 과정으로 캐리오버 오염을 손쉽게 방지할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.The UDG treatment method has the advantage that the necessary reagents (UDG enzyme, dUTP) can be used while being included in the PCR reaction solution, and carryover contamination can be easily prevented with a single reaction/single process because only one step is required to be added to a general PCR program. there is.

그러나 현재 널리 사용되는 UDG 효소는 대부분 대장균에서 유래하여 열적 안정성이 높으며, 심지어 PCR 과정이 종료된 이후에도 활성이 살아있는 경우가 종종 있다. 이 때문에 증폭 산물을 즉시 아가로스젤로 분석하지 않으면 증폭 산물 자체가 분해되는 현상이 발생하는 문제점이 있다.However, most of the currently widely used UDG enzymes are derived from Escherichia coli and have high thermal stability, and are often active even after the PCR process is completed. For this reason, there is a problem in that the amplification product itself is decomposed if the amplification product is not immediately analyzed with an agarose gel.

나아가 복잡한 Multiplex Realtime PCR의 경우 TaqMan 프로브 서열 설계의 한계 때문에 비교적 낮은 온도(약 50 ℃)에서 어닐링(annealing) 반응을 수행해야 하는 경우가 있다. 이때 대장균 유래 UDG 효소의 경우, 해당 온도에서 활성을 보유하고 있으므로 적절하게 증폭된 산물조차 분해하여 전체적인 PCR의 민감도를 저해시키는 (Ct value의 delay) 문제가 발생한다. 이는 PCR 진단 키트의 성능을 하락시키는 원인으로 작용한다.Furthermore, in the case of complex multiplex real-time PCR, there are cases in which an annealing reaction must be performed at a relatively low temperature (about 50 ° C.) due to limitations in designing TaqMan probe sequences. At this time, in the case of E. coli-derived UDG enzyme, since it has activity at the corresponding temperature, even an appropriately amplified product is decomposed, resulting in a problem of inhibiting the overall PCR sensitivity (delay of Ct value). This acts as a cause of deteriorating the performance of the PCR diagnostic kit.

대장균 유래 UDG 이외에 비교적 낮은 온도에서 최적 활성을 보이는 Gadus morhua에서 유래한 UDG가 있다. 그러나 이는 대장균에서 재조합 형태로 발현시키기 때문에 E. coli UDG에 비해 발현율 및 용해도가 낮아 단위 효소 당 정제 비용이 높고 정제 과정이 상대적으로 복잡한 단점이 있다.In addition to UDG derived from Escherichia coli, there is UDG derived from Gadus morhua, which shows optimal activity at a relatively low temperature. However, since it is expressed in a recombinant form in E. coli, the expression rate and solubility are lower than that of E. coli UDG, so the purification cost per unit enzyme is high and the purification process is relatively complicated.

따라서 열민감성이 높아 PCR 등과 같은 반응 과정 중에 열에 의해 쉽게 불활성화되며, 한번 불활성화가 되고 나면 재활성화가 되지 않은 UDG의 개발이 필요하다.Therefore, it is necessary to develop UDG, which is easily inactivated by heat during a reaction process such as PCR due to its high heat sensitivity, and which is not reactivated once inactivated.

본 발명은 높은 교차오염 방지 능력을 갖는 열 불안정성 우라실 DNA 글리코실라제에 관한 것이다. Uracil-DNA 글리코실라제(UDG, EC 3.2.2.3)는 단일 또는 이중 가닥 DNA에서 promutagenic 우라실 잔기의 가수분해를 촉매하여 유리 우라실 및 무염기 DNA를 생성하는 DNA 복구 단백질이다. 특히 대서양대구(Gadus morhua) UDG는 저온 적응종에서 유래하여 열민감성이 높아 PCR 과정 중에 열에 의해 쉽게 불활성화되며, 한번 불활성화가 되고나면 재활성화가 잘 일어나지 않는다.The present invention relates to a heat labile uracil DNA glycosylase having high anti-cross-contamination ability. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG, EC 3.2.2.3) is a DNA repair protein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of promutagenic uracil residues in single- or double-stranded DNA to produce free uracil and free DNA. Especially Atlantic cod ( Gadus) morhua ) UDG is derived from a low-temperature adaptable species and has high heat sensitivity, so it is easily inactivated by heat during the PCR process, and once inactivated, reactivation does not occur well.

The present inventors obtained heat-labile UDG of SEQ ID NO: 1 in the process of studying several mutations to increase UDG activity of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) UDG, and in particular, when combined with MBP and expressed, UDG activity itself greatly increased It was confirmed that the present invention was completed.
