條件式表現之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統 Conditional expression of recombinant ricin A chain protein system

本發明係關於一種重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,尤指一種具有條件式表現之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統。 The present invention relates to a recombinant ricin A chain protein system, and more particularly to a recombinant ricin A chain protein system having a conditional expression.

蓖麻毒素(Ricin)是從一種稱為蓖麻(Ricinus communis)的植物所萃取出來的毒素,又稱蓖麻毒蛋白。蓖麻毒蛋白是一種異源二聚體糖蛋白。包含兩條具有不同胺基酸序列的蛋白質鏈,A鏈(A chain)及B鏈(B chain),分別重30k DA,兩蛋白質鏈之間以雙硫鍵相連。 Ricin is a toxin extracted from a plant called Ricinus communis , also known as ricin. Ricin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein. It comprises two protein chains with different amino acid sequences, A chain and B chain, each weighing 30k DA, and the two protein chains are connected by a disulfide bond.

A鏈含有267個胺基酸,是一個N-糖苷水解酶,此鏈會切斷28S rRNA上的一個共價鍵,使一個腺嘌呤遭移除。由於rRNA是組成核糖體的主要物質,而核糖體又是合成蛋白質所需,因此當rRNA遭破壞時,會使蛋白質的合成受到抑制,從而產生細胞毒性(cytotoxicity);B鏈則是一種凝集素,其第262個殘基和A鏈之間以雙硫鍵結合。B鏈可與細胞表面上的半乳糖殘基或甘露糖殘基結合,協助A鏈通過細胞膜,進入細胞以發生作用。 The A chain contains 267 amino acids, an N-glycoside hydrolase that cleaves a covalent bond on the 28S rRNA and removes an adenine. Since rRNA is the main substance that constitutes ribosomes, and ribosomes are required for the synthesis of proteins, when rRNA is destroyed, protein synthesis is inhibited, resulting in cytotoxicity; B chain is a lectin. The 262th residue and the A chain are bonded by a disulfide bond. The B chain binds to a galactose residue or a mannose residue on the cell surface, assisting the A chain to pass through the cell membrane and enter the cell to function.

蓖麻毒素對人體的致命劑量約為1μg/kg左右, 除了早期在軍事用途作為生化武器外,近年來也漸漸發現蓖麻毒素在生物技術及醫療上的潛力。這類的免疫毒素(immunotoxins),由於可與細胞膜上特定分子結合,又能進入細胞中抑制蛋白質合成,而被認為具有辨識並殺死特定細胞(如癌細胞),甚至治療病毒或寄生蟲感染的可能。研究並發現,蓖麻毒本身與單株抗體的結合相當有效,兩者的組成能夠強化對特定類型細胞的辨識專一性,且對多種類型的淋巴瘤及白血病展現醫療活性。 The lethal dose of ricin to the human body is about 1μg/kg. In addition to early use in military applications as a biochemical weapon, the potential of ricin in biotechnology and medical care has gradually been discovered in recent years. Such immunotoxins (immunotoxins), because they bind to specific molecules on the cell membrane, can enter the cell to inhibit protein synthesis, and are thought to recognize and kill specific cells (such as cancer cells) and even treat viral or parasitic infections. Possible. It has been found that ricin itself is quite effective in binding to monoclonal antibodies, and the composition of both can enhance the specificity of specific types of cells and exhibit medical activity against various types of lymphomas and leukemias.

然而,實際應用蓖麻毒素時,科學家常需透過各種不同的方式以生物技術改造蓖麻毒素以達成選擇性致毒的目的。譬如,習知技術中多在完整蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白中製造突變以產生減毒蛋白作為疫苗用途,或者是另外與免疫蛋白結合以於特定的部位作用。但目前為止未有將蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白片段拆解之後再接合而不影響其活性之技術。 However, when ricin is actually applied, scientists often need to biochemically modify ricin in various ways to achieve selective poisoning. For example, in the prior art, mutations are often made in the complete ricin A chain protein to produce an attenuated protein for vaccine use, or otherwise combined with an immunoprotein to act at a specific site. However, there has been no technique for disassembling the ricin A-chain protein fragment after it has been ligated without affecting its activity.

本發明之一目的在於提供一種條件式表現之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,透過本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統可選擇性地控制蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之活性表現。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a conditional expression recombinant ricin A chain protein system which selectively controls the activity of ricin A chain protein by the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention.

本發明首創使用拆解後的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白片段再將該蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白片段接合之技術,且經測試蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之活性可獲得保留。具體而言,拆開的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白片段分別都無法產生毒性,只有在正確 結合時,才能呈現蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白原本的酵素活性。透過這種選擇性接合的方法,可廣泛地用於譬如特定蛋白表現模式檢測,或是做為標示分子毒殺特定的目標細胞或個體。 The present invention firstly uses a technique in which a ricin A chain protein fragment after disassembly is used to bind the ricin A chain protein fragment, and the activity of the ricin A chain protein is tested to be retained. Specifically, the disassembled ricin A-chain protein fragments are not toxic, only correct. When combined, the original enzymatic activity of the ricin A chain protein can be exhibited. Through this method of selective ligation, it can be widely used, for example, to detect a specific protein expression pattern, or to label a molecule to kill a specific target cell or individual.

藉由適當形式的生物性修飾作用,例如RNA剪接(RNA splicing)或跳躍基因(transposon)的作用能賦與條件式基因重組接合的能力。但是由於上述接合作用常因特定的反應機制導致原有胜肽序列改變或插入額外的外源殘基,如何在蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白上選擇適當的切割及接合位置,將會是保留蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白原有生物活性的重要考量。蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白在蛋白質結構可分為兩個獨立單位,分別是包括胺基酸1至118的第一單位,以及胺基酸122至270的第二單位。本發明發現於第一單位與第二單位之間的三個胺基酸可用於外源殘基的修飾區域。該修飾可適當地重組改造蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白,而不會產生過大的空間干擾。據此提出一種重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,該系統針對蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白第一單位與第二單位之間的胺基酸殘基加以修飾,以達到選擇性控制蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之活性表現之效果。 The ability to recombine with a conditional gene can be conferred by the appropriate form of biological modification, such as the action of RNA splicing or transposon. However, since the above-mentioned conjugation often causes the original peptide sequence to change or insert additional exogenous residues due to a specific reaction mechanism, how to select an appropriate cutting and joining position on the ricin A chain protein will be to retain the castor. An important consideration for the original biological activity of the toxin A chain protein. The ricin A chain protein can be divided into two separate units in the protein structure, namely a first unit comprising amino acids 1 to 118 and a second unit comprising amino acids 122 to 270. The present invention finds that three amino acids between the first unit and the second unit can be used in the modified region of the exogenous residue. This modification allows the ricin A chain protein to be appropriately recombinantly engineered without excessive spatial interference. Accordingly, a recombinant ricin A chain protein system is proposed which is modified to control the amino acid residue between the first unit and the second unit of the ricin A chain protein to selectively control the ricin A chain. The effect of the activity of the protein.

為達成上述目的,根據本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,其所表現之一重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白包括:一第一多肽,其與SEQ ID NO:1具有75%以上之一致性;一第二多肽,其與SEQ ID NO:2具有75%以上之一致性;以及,複數個外源殘基,其係插置於該第一多肽與該第二多 肽之間。 To achieve the above object, a recombinant ricin A chain protein system according to the present invention, which comprises a recombinant ricin A chain protein, comprises: a first polypeptide having 75% or more with SEQ ID NO: 1. Consistency; a second polypeptide having greater than 75% identity to SEQ ID NO: 2; and a plurality of exogenous residues interposed in the first polypeptide and the second plurality Between peptides.

根據本發明一實施例之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,其中,該第一多肽係與SEQ ID NO:1有95%以上之一致性。 A recombinant ricin A chain protein system according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the first polypeptide is more than 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1.

根據本發明另一實施例之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,其中,該第二多肽係與SEQ ID NO:2有95%以上之一致性。 A recombinant ricin A chain protein system according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second polypeptide is more than 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2.

習知基因重組中,常因為原始基因產物所編碼之胺基酸序列被改變,使得該胺基酸序列失去其原本所被賦予的活性或功能。於本發明中發現,當對於蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白位於第119至121位置原有的苯丙氨酸-甘氨酸-甘氨酸(Phenylalanine-Glycine-Glycine)殘基加以修飾時,由於在此區域內之蛋白重組改造不會產生過大的空間干擾,因此該段位置中因修飾所造成的胺基酸序列更動不會造成蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白原本被賦予的活性或功能喪失,仍可維其抑制真核細胞中蛋白質合成的功能。 In conventional genetic recombination, the amino acid sequence encoded by the original gene product is often altered such that the amino acid sequence loses its originally assigned activity or function. It has been found in the present invention that when the original phenylalanine-glycine-Glycine residue at positions 119 to 121 is modified for the ricin A chain protein, since it is in this region Recombination of the protein does not cause excessive spatial interference, so the amino acid sequence modification caused by the modification in this position will not cause the loss of activity or function of the ricin A chain protein originally, and it can still inhibit the true The function of protein synthesis in nuclear cells.

換言之,於本發明中,該外源殘基係用於修飾包括該第一多肽與該第二多肽之一蓖麻毒素A鍊融合蛋白。 In other words, in the present invention, the exogenous residue is for modifying a ricin A chain fusion protein comprising the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide.

上述所指的「修飾」意指於原本全長的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白蛋白質中更改或加入新的胺基酸殘基(即,外源殘基)。具體而言,關於該外源殘基,考量插入的外源殘基太大可能改變蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白的結構,因此,譬如在本發明一實施例中,該外源殘基可由取代原有蓖麻毒素A 鍊蛋白位於第119至121位置原有的苯丙氨酸-甘氨酸-甘氨酸(N-119Phe-120Gly-121Gly)中兩個殘基所組成,譬如N-119Glu-120Gly-121Gln-C;或者經過插入額外兩個胺基酸所組成,譬如N-119Phe-120Glu-121Gly-122Gln-123Gly-C,然而本發明並不限於此。 The term "modification" as used above means the modification or addition of a new amino acid residue (ie, an exogenous residue) to the original full length ricin A chain protein protein. In particular, with respect to the exogenous residue, it is possible to change the structure of the ricin A chain protein by considering that the inserted exogenous residue is too large. Thus, for example, in one embodiment of the invention, the exogenous residue may be replaced by a substituent. The ricin A chain protein is composed of two residues in the original phenylalanine-glycine-glycine (N- 119 Phe- 120 Gly- 121 Gly) at positions 119 to 121, such as N- 119 Glu- 120 Gly- 121 Gln-C; or through the insertion of additional amino acids consisting of two, such as N- 119 Phe- 120 Glu- 121 Gly- 122 Gln- 123 Gly-C, however, the present invention is not limited thereto.

基因操作過程中常使用載體作為運載工具以利轉移目的基因至宿主細胞,且載體可自主性地複製或是併入宿主DNA中,習知技術中常使用之載體譬如質體、病毒載體等。上述載體中,依據宿主細胞種類、所欲蛋白質之表現程度或其他類似因素,亦可包括如啟動子、強化子、或其他控制單元。本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統亦可透過各種載體以表現該重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白,具體而言,於本發明中,只要可在宿主細胞中順利表現所欲之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之載體均可使用而無任何限制。舉例來說,可使用習知生物技術中常使用的原核表現載體pET-30a(Novagen,Medison,WI),或使用真核表現載體pBacFast 1(Life technologies,Carlsbad,CA)以病毒進行細胞感染,或利用PiggyBac跳躍基因系統進行生物轉殖。於本發明一實施例中,係利用pET-30a作為載體在原核細胞中表現生物活性分析所需的重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白,然本發明並不僅限於此。 A vector is often used as a vehicle in gene manipulation to transfer a gene of interest to a host cell, and the vector can be autonomously replicated or incorporated into a host DNA, such as a plastid, a viral vector or the like, which is commonly used in the prior art. The above vector may also include, for example, a promoter, a fortifier, or other control unit depending on the host cell type, the degree of expression of the desired protein, or the like. The recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention can also express the recombinant ricin A chain protein through various vectors, in particular, in the present invention, as long as the desired recombinant ramie can be smoothly expressed in the host cell. The carrier of the toxin A chain protein can be used without any limitation. For example, the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a (Novagen, Medison, WI) commonly used in conventional biotechnology can be used, or the cell infection can be carried out with a virus using the eukaryotic expression vector pBacFast 1 (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA), or Biotransformation was performed using the PiggyBac hopping gene system. In one embodiment of the present invention, the recombinant ricin A chain protein required for biological activity analysis is expressed in prokaryotic cells using pET-30a as a vector, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

如前所述,本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統可透過原核生物表現,亦可透過真核生物表現,而無其他限制。具體而言,原核生物譬如大腸桿菌;而真核生物 譬如植物細胞、昆蟲細胞、酵母菌、果蠅、或哺乳動物細胞。於本發明一實施例中,係於東方果實蠅中測試原核生物表現重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白的致毒效果,然本發明並不僅限於此。 As described above, the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention can be expressed by prokaryotic organisms or by eukaryotes without any other limitation. Specifically, prokaryotes such as E. coli; and eukaryotes For example, plant cells, insect cells, yeast, fruit flies, or mammalian cells. In one embodiment of the present invention, the prokaryomic activity of the recombinant ricin A chain protein is tested in the oriental fruit fly, but the invention is not limited thereto.

就條件式表現來說,譬如可利用東方果實蠅僅在雌蟲中存在具有活性的TRA/TRA2蛋白的特性,當TRA/TRA2蛋白結合於東方果實蠅雙性基因之結合區上時,能藉由序列專一性而產生RNA選擇性剪接。透過雌性專一性RNA剪接的調控作用,造成只有在雌蟲體內會發生雙性基因之第三內含子移除的現象(如圖1所示:斜線區段為雙性基因外顯子部分;白色區段為蓖麻毒素A鍊基因;黑色區段為東方果實蠅雙性基因第三內含子;點線區域為雙性基因3端未轉譯區;而白色橢圓形為TRA/TRA2蛋白結合區)。利用此一特性,並結合如本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,可以開發出一種東方果實蠅專一性致死系統,其中的外源殘基係根據雙性基因之第三內含子(Bddsx intron 3)外側之外顯子序列所編碼之殘基而設計。具體而言,上述外源殘基譬如可設計為,N端-119Glu-120Gly-121Gln-C端及N端-119Phe-120Glu-121Gly-122Gln-123Gly-C端。 In terms of conditional expression, for example, the oriental fruit fly can be used to have the property of active TRA/TRA2 protein only in females. When TRA/TRA2 protein binds to the binding region of the oriental fruit fly bisexual gene, it can borrow RNA selective splicing is produced by sequence specificity. Through the regulation of female-specific RNA splicing, the third intron removal of the bisexual gene occurs only in the female (as shown in Figure 1: the slanted segment is the biallerin exon part; The white segment is the ricin A chain gene; the black segment is the third intron of the oriental fruit fly bisexual gene; the dotted line region is the bisexual gene 3 terminal untranslated region; and the white oval is the TRA/TRA2 protein binding. Area). Using this property, in combination with the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention, an oriental fruit fly-specific lethal system can be developed in which the exogenous residue is based on the third intron of the sex gene ( Bddsx intron 3) Designed for residues encoded by the outer exon sequence. Specifically, the external source may be designed such residues, N-terminus - 119 Glu- 120 Gly- 121 Gln- C terminal and the N terminal - 119 Phe- 120 Glu- 121 Gly- 122 Gln- 123 Gly-C terminal.

為了評估經本發明重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統所表現之修飾蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之毒性,首先須構築質體以表現這些重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白。 In order to assess the toxicity of the modified ricin A chain protein expressed by the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention, plastids must first be constructed to express these recombinant ricin A chain proteins.

野生型蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白(Ricin-WT)表現基因的構築Construction of wild-type ricin A chain protein (Ricin-WT) gene

首先,利用習知聚合脢連鎖反應(Polymerase Chain Reaction,PCR),以序列互補的引子對Ricin ClaI-XbaI(5’-AAATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGGCGGTAATTATGATCGTCTAGAACAACTTGCTGG-3,SEQ ID NO:4)及Ricin univ-R(5’-GTTCTAGACGATCATAATT-3’,SEQ ID NO:5),進行增幅放大反應,產生含有沉默突變(silence mutation,三個突變位置加註底線)的蓖麻毒素A鍊(RTA)片段,同時可以利用額外的人造XbaI酵素切位進行後續之構築。 First, the meat on the back of an animal using a conventional polymerization chain reaction (Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR), primers complementary to the sequence of the Ricin ClaI-XbaI (5'-AA ATCGAT ATACATTCGCCTTTGGCGGTAATTATGAT C G T CT A GAACAACTTGCTGG-3, SEQ ID NO: 4) and ricin univ-R (5'-GT TCTAGA CGATCATAATT-3 ', SEQ ID NO: 5), for amplifying amplification reaction to produce ricin a chain containing silent mutations (silence mutation, three mutations bottom filling position) of ( The RTA fragment can be subsequently constructed using additional artificial XbaI enzyme cuts.

完整RTA序列利用NcoI及SacI插入pET-30a(+)(Novagen,Madison,WI),此構築稱為Ricin-WT。 The complete RTA sequence was inserted into pET-30a (+) (Novagen, Madison, WI) using NcoI and SacI, and this construct was called Ricin-WT.

修飾蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白表現基因(Ricin-FEGQ)的構築Construction of modified ricin A chain protein expression gene (Ricin-FEGQ)

除了以引子Ricin FEGQ-F(5’-AAATCGATATACATTCGCCGAAGGCCAAAATTATGATCGTCTAGAAC-3’,SEQ ID NO:6)取代Ricin-WT構築中所使用之Ricin ClaI-XbaI引子外,其餘實驗步驟同上述Ricin-WT。將引子Ricin FEGQ-F及Ricin univ-R所夾出的基因產物經PCR擴增後,利用習知生物技術取代Ricin-WT中的ClaI-XbaI相對片段,此構築稱為Ricin-FEGQ。 The remainder of the experimental procedure was the same as Ricin-WT described above, except that the Ricin ClaI-XbaI primer used in the Ricin-WT construct was replaced by the primer Ricin FEGQ-F (5'-AAATCGATATACATTCGCCGAAGGCCAAAATTATGATCGTCTAGAAC-3', SEQ ID NO: 6). The gene product clipped by Ricin FEGQ-F and Ricin univ-R was amplified by PCR, and the ClaI-XbaI relative fragment in Ricin-WT was replaced by a conventional biotechnology. This construct was called Ricin-FEGQ.

修飾蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白表現基因(Ricin-LERQ)的構築Construction of modified ricin A chain protein expression gene (Ricin-LERQ)

除了以引子RicinLERQ-F(5’-AAATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGAAGGCCAAGGTAATTATGATCGTCTAGAAC-3’,SEQ ID NO:7)取代Ricin-WT構築中所使用之Ricin ClaI-XbaI引子,其餘實驗步驟同上述Ricin-WT構築。將引子RicinLERQ-F及Ricin univ-R所夾出的基因產物經PCR擴增後,利用習知生物技術取代Ricin-WT中的ClaI-XbaI相對片段,此構築稱 為Ricin-LERQ。 Except that the Ricin ClaI-XbaI primer used in the Ricin-WT construct was replaced by the primer RicinLERQ-F (5'-AAATCGATATACATTCGCCTTT GAAGGCCAA GGTAATTATGATCGTCTAGAAC-3', SEQ ID NO: 7), the remaining experimental steps were constructed in the same manner as Ricin-WT described above. The gene product clipped by the primers RicinLERQ-F and Ricin univ-R was amplified by PCR, and the ClaI-XbaI relative fragment in Ricin-WT was replaced by a conventional biotechnology, and the construct was called Ricin-LERQ.

分別將上述Ricin-WT、Ricin-FEGQ及Ricin-LERQ構築,以習知技術轉型送入勝任細胞E.Coli DH 5 α中。其後分別抽取質體DNA,並完成定序以確認上述構築的正確性。 The above-mentioned Ricin-WT, Ricin-FEGQ and Ricin-LERQ were constructed and transformed into the competent cell E. coli DH 5α by a conventional technique. Thereafter, the plastid DNA was separately extracted and sequenced to confirm the correctness of the above construction.

為了確認於pET-30a(+)貭體中之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之表現,將上述Ricin-WT、Ricin-FEGQ及Ricin-LERQ構築質體轉型送入勝任細胞E.Coli C43(DE3)中,分別取得一純系(clone)。將該純系培養於5mL LB培養液中,其中該LB培養液添加50μg/mL卡那徽素(kanamycin),並培養於37℃震盪培養箱中。當菌液之OD600達0.6時,加入1mM的IPTG至菌液中,並於25℃繼續培養2小時。 In order to confirm the pET-30a (+) Zhi body of recombinant ricin A-chain of protein expression, the aforementioned Ricin-WT, Ricin-FEGQ and Ricin-LERQ plasmid construct transformation into competent cells E.Coli C43 (DE3 In the case, each obtains a clone. The pure line was cultured in 5 mL of LB medium, and 50 μg/mL of kanamycin was added to the LB medium, and cultured in a 37 ° C shaking incubator. When the OD 600 of the bacterial solution reached 0.6, 1 mM of IPTG was added to the bacterial solution, and incubation was continued at 25 ° C for 2 hours.

隨後,將菌液以8000 x g的速度於4℃下離心10分鐘並丟棄上清液,剩下的細胞(即,沉澱物)以超聲波裂解處理後再以12,000 x g的速度離心10分鐘。由於包括pET-30a(+)作為載體之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統所表現出的蛋白質產物會包括His-tag,因此可利用Ni-NTA管柱進行親合性純化(Promega,Medison,WI)。在利用250mM咪唑洗脫後,該重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白質樣品以10mM Tris-HCL(pH7.6)透析再進行進一步的分析。 Subsequently, the bacterial solution was centrifuged at 8000 x g for 10 minutes at 4 ° C and the supernatant was discarded, and the remaining cells (i.e., the precipitate) were subjected to ultrasonication treatment and then centrifuged at 12,000 x g for 10 minutes. Since the protein product of the recombinant ricin A chain protein system including pET-30a(+) as a vector will include His-tag, affinity purification can be performed using a Ni-NTA column (Promega, Medison, WI). ). After elution with 250 mM imidazole, the recombinant ricin A chain protein sample was dialyzed against 10 mM Tris-HCL (pH 7.6) for further analysis.

利用習知十二烷基硫酸鈉聚丙烯醯胺凝膠電泳(SDS-PAGE)及CBR染色(Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250)分析蛋白質樣品(2μg)。為了確認重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白 質表現,以西方墨點法(western blot),並利用山羊蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白多株抗體(rcE-19,Santa Cruz Biotechnology,Santa Cruz,CA),及經鹼性磷酸酶標定之驢抗山羊IgG作為二次抗體則以偵測蛋白質訊號。 Protein samples (2 μg) were analyzed by conventional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and CBR staining (Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250). To confirm recombinant ricin A chain protein Qualitative performance, Western blot, and goat ricin A-chain protein antibody (rcE-19, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), and alkaline phosphatase-labeled sputum Goat IgG is used as a secondary antibody to detect protein signals.

如圖2A所示,經由上述實驗步驟純化之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白質Ricin-WT、Ricin-FEGQ、及Ricin-LERQ,於SDS-PAGE結果可見其分子量為預期的35kDa,並於圖2B中,透過西方墨點法確認上述三種重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白質均可在原核pET-30a系統中順利表現。 As shown in FIG. 2A, the recombinant ricin A chain proteins Ricin-WT, Ricin-FEGQ, and Ricin-LERQ purified by the above experimental steps showed the expected molecular weight of 35 kDa on SDS-PAGE, and in FIG. 2B.

東方果實蠅蟲胚胎微注射-測試RTA-Bddsx第三內含子(Bddsx-intron 3)混合基因之體內表現及對成蟲性別比例的影響Embryo microinjection of oriental fruit fly worms - testing the in vivo performance of RTA-Bddsx third intron (Bddsx-intron 3) mixed gene and its effect on adult sex ratio

於接下來之示例性實施例中,將利用本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統,進一步應用於東方果實蠅雌性專一性致死系統,以提供未來害蟲防治之策略。 In the following exemplary embodiments, the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention will be further applied to the Oriental Fruit Fly Female Specific Lethal System to provide a strategy for future pest control.

由於東方果實蠅僅在雌蟲會發生雙性基因之第三內含子移除的現象,因此,本實施例以一重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白構築(RTA-Bddsx construct)為例,結合一適當之載體以表現出條件式表現之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白,如圖4所示。該重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白係將東方果實蠅Bactrocera dorsalis之雙性基因之第三內含子(Bddsx intron 3,SEQ ID NO:3)加上兩側小段外顯子序列:N端-119Phe-120Glu-121G-(Bddsx intron 3)-ly-122Gln-123Gly-C端,插入 本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白第一多肽與第二多肽間,蓖麻毒素A鍊(RTA)蛋白序列第119-121原有氨基酸位置。 Since the oriental fruit fly only removes the third intron of the bisexual gene in the female, the present example uses a recombinant ricin A chain protein construct ( RTA - Bddsx construct) as an example, combining one A suitable vector to express the conditional expression of the recombinant ricin A chain protein is shown in FIG. The recombinant ricin A chain protein adds the third intron of the bisexual gene of Bactrocera dorsalis ( Bddsx intron 3, SEQ ID NO: 3) to the two- sided exon sequence: N-terminal - 119 Phe- 120 Glu- 121 G-( Bddsx intron 3)-ly- 122 Gln- 123 Gly-C terminal, inserted between the first polypeptide of the recombinant ricin A chain protein of the present invention and the second polypeptide, ricin The original amino acid position of the A chain (RTA) protein sequence 119-121.

在東方果實蠅雌蟲體內特有蛋白因子(TRA/TRA2蛋白)的協同之下,進行專一性RNA剪接,並移除雙性基因之第三內含子(Bddsx-Intron 3,SEQ ID NO:3),透過此一作用,RTA-Bddsx基因可以藉由上述專一性剪接作用產生完整的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白基因。因為只有雌蟲可以產生專一性效果之活化RTA毒素,只會造成雌蟲死亡,達到選擇性控制蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白活性表現之目的。 In collaboration with the unique protein factor (TRA/TRA2 protein) in the oriental fruit fly female, specific RNA splicing is performed and the third intron of the amphoteric gene is removed ( Bddsx - Intron 3, SEQ ID NO: 3) By this action, the RTA - Bddsx gene can produce the complete ricin A chain protein gene by the above specific splicing action. Because only females can produce a specific effect of the activated RTA toxin, it will only cause female death, and achieve the purpose of selectively controlling the activity of ricin A chain protein.

反之,於雄蟲體內不會發生雌蟲特有的選擇性剪接,因此雙性基因之第三內含子(Bddsx-intron 3,SEQ ID NO:3)被保留。此情況下將導致重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白在轉錄過程中遇到停止訊號,導致雄蟲體內僅會合成前段的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白。由於此一合成的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白不完整而不具毒性,不會導致雄蟲死亡。 Conversely, no alternative splicing specific to the female occurs in the male, so the third intron of the amphoteric gene ( Bddsx- intron 3, SEQ ID NO: 3) is retained. In this case, the recombinant ricin A chain protein will encounter a stop signal during transcription, resulting in the male body only synthesizing the anterior segment of the ricin A chain protein. Since this synthetic ricin A chain protein is incomplete and not toxic, it does not cause male death.

於接下來的實驗中,進行東方果實蠅蟲胚胎微注射,以測試RTA-Bddsx第三內含子(Bddsx-intron 3)混合基因之體內表現及對成蟲性別比例的影響。 In the next experiment, embryos of the oriental fruit fly were microinjected to test the in vivo performance of the RTA-Bddsx third intron (Bddsx-intron 3) mixed gene and its effect on the adult sex ratio.

具體而言,為了製備由蓖麻毒素A鍊(RTA)與東方果實蠅B.dorsalis之雙性基因(Bddsx)所構築之RTA-Bddsx第三內含子雜合序列,利用習知聚合脢連鎖反應(Polymerase Chain Reaction,PCR),以Bddsx第三內含子(Bddsx intron 3,SEQ ID NO:3)為模板,並以下述引子對進行。 Specifically, in order to prepare a RTA - Bddsx third intron hybrid sequence constructed by the ricin A chain (RTA) and the oriental fruit fly B. dosalis bisexual gene ( Bddsx ), the conventional polymerization chain is utilized. Reaction (Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR), using the Bddsx third intron ( Bddsx intron 3, SEQ ID NO: 3) as a template, and carrying out the following primer pair.

(A)為構築Ricin-WT(in3),使用引子對Ricin-In3A-F(5’-AATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGGTAAGTGTGTATTTCAGC-3’,SEQ ID NO:8)、Ricin-In3D-R(5’-TTCTAGACGATCATAATTACCGCCTAAAATATTTTAATTATTG-3’,SEQ ID NO:9)。 (A) for constructing Ricin-WT (in3), using primer pair Ricin-In3A-F (5'-AATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGGTAAGTGTGTATTTCAGC-3', SEQ ID NO: 8), Ricin-In3D-R (5'-TTCTAGACGATCATAATTACCGCCTAAAATATTTTAATTATTG-3', SEQ ID NO: 9).

(B)為構築Ricin-LE(in3)RQ,使用引子對Ricin-In3C-F(5-AATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGAAGGTAAGTGTGTATTTCAGC-3’,SEQ ID NO:10),Ricin-In3F-R(5’-TTCTAGACGATCATAATTACCTTGGCCTAAAATATTTTAATTATTG-3’,SEQ ID NO:11)。 (B) To construct Ricin-LE(in3)RQ, use primer pair Ricin-In3C-F (5-AATCGATATACATTCGCCTTTGAAGGTAAGTGTGTATTTCAGC-3', SEQ ID NO: 10), Ricin-In3F-R (5'-TTCTAGACGATCATAATTACCTTGGCCTAAAATATTTTAATTATTG-3', SEQ ID NO: 11).

以PCR放大由上述引子對所夾出之DNA片段後,再以引子上所含有的ClaI及XbaI切位完成在pGEMT-easy系統中的後續基因重組實驗。 After the DNA fragment clipped by the above primer pair was amplified by PCR, the subsequent gene recombination experiment in the pGEMT-easy system was completed by cleavage of ClaI and XbaI contained in the primer.

由於TRA/TRA2蛋白的結合區參與東方果實蠅雌性專一性RNA剪接,故透過雌蟲Bddsx cDNA為模板,並以引子組dsx-STOP-F(5’-TCACTAGTGATAATTTTTAACG-3’,SEQ ID NO:12),CDS(5-CCgATATCTgCAgTCgACTCgAgTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3’,SEQ ID NO:13)完成DNA片段複製.再以SpeI及PstI切位加入上述之表現載體pGEMT-esay(Promega)中,作為Bddsx第四外顯子(Bddsx exon4)從終止密碼子後之3端未轉譯區的部分(SEQ ID NO:15)。 Since the binding region of the TRA/TRA2 protein is involved in the female-specific RNA splicing of the oriental fruit fly, the female Bddsx cDNA is used as a template, and the primer group dsx-STOP-F (5'-TCACTAGTGATAATTTTTAACG-3', SEQ ID NO: 12 CDS (5-CCgATATCTgCAgTCgACTCgAgTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3', SEQ ID NO: 13) completes DNA fragment replication. The SpeI and PstI are nicked into the above expression vector pGEMT-esay (Promega) as the fourth exon of Bddsx ( Bddsx exon4) The portion of the untranslated region at the 3 end after the stop codon (SEQ ID NO: 15).

為了完成在真核細胞中的表現,上述含Bddsx第三內含子(Bddsx intron 3,SEQ ID NO:3)的構築再利用pGEMT-easy上的NaeI及HindIII切位加入東方果實蠅肌動蛋白5C基因的啟動子(Bdactin 5C promoter;SEQ ID NO:14),分別將上述構築後之質體稱為Ricin-WT(in3)及Ricin-LE(in3)RQ,如圖4所示。 In order to complete the expression in eukaryotic cells, the above-described construction of the Bddsx- containing third intron ( Bddsx intron 3, SEQ ID NO: 3) was added to the oriental fruit fly actin by using NaeI and HindIII cleavage on pGEMT-easy. The promoter of the 5C gene ( Bdactin 5C promoter; SEQ ID NO: 14) is referred to as Ricin-WT (in3) and Ricin-LE (in3) RQ, respectively, as shown in FIG.

作為胚胎微注射正控制組,完整Ricin-WT cDNA亦被加上如上所述之肌動蛋白5C基因的啟動子,此構築之質體稱為Ricin-WT-5Cp,不需RNA剪接步驟,可用以直接觀察基因的表現及毒性。 As a positive control group for embryo microinjection, the entire Ricin-WT cDNA is also added with the promoter of the actin 5C gene as described above. The constructed plastid is called Ricin-WT-5Cp, and no RNA splicing step is required. To directly observe the performance and toxicity of the gene.

作為胚胎微注射負控制組,Ricin-WT(in3)亦被加上如上所述之肌動蛋白5C基因的啟動子,此構築之質因為只含有Bddsx第三內含子部分而缺少兩側小段外顯子序列,故無法進行RNA剪接步驟,在此可以當成RTA-Bddsx雜合基因功能表現的負控制組。 As a negative control group for embryo microinjection, Ricin-WT (in3) was also added with the promoter of actin 5C gene as described above, and the quality of this construct lacks both sides of the Bddsx third intron. The exon sequence is unable to perform the RNA splicing step, and can be used as a negative control group for RTA-Bddsx heterozygous gene function.

利用實驗室培養超過11年的東方果實蠅Bactrocera dorsalis作為實驗材料。東方果實蠅培養於28℃,其日照:黑暗之光週期為12:12小時。 The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis , which has been cultured for more than 11 years in the laboratory, was used as experimental material. The oriental fruit fly is cultured at 28 ° C, and its sunshine: dark light cycle is 12:12 hours.

成熟的東方果實蠅於籠中交配並產卵,並定期以新鮮的食物培養孵化之幼蟲。胚胎微注射係利用蔡司V12立體顯微鏡搭配粗細顯微操作器及電動顯微注射器於雌蠅產卵後2小時內完成。注射前,準備質體DNA(1μg/μL)。接著,將0.2nL的溶液注入每個胚胎之腹部腹側。 Mature oriental fruit flies mate and lay eggs in cages and regularly cultivate hatched larvae with fresh food. Embryo microinjection was performed within 2 hours after the female flies lay eggs using a Zeiss V12 stereomicroscope with a fine micromanipulator and an electric microsurgical syringe. Prior to injection, to prepare plasmid DNA (1 μ g / μ L ). Next, 0.2 nL of the solution was injected into the ventral side of the abdomen of each embryo.

實驗中記錄羽化率以評估重組蓖麻毒素A鍊 蛋白質之毒性及雌雄比例。 The feathering rate was recorded in the experiment to evaluate the recombinant ricin A chain. Protein toxicity and ratio of male to female.

具體而言,將0.2ng的重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白Ricin-WT-5Cp、Ricin-WT(in3)及Ricin-LE(in3)RQ DNA分別注入東方果實蠅胚胎中以觀察其羽化率及雌雄比例的改變於獨立的4次實驗中,從三組合計注射1165顆卵的實驗結果呈現:施予已完成剪接蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白基因(Ricin-WT-5Cp)組的羽化率為3.65%;注射Ricin-WT(in3)組的羽化率為6.70%;以及Ricin-LE(in3)RQ組的羽化率為5.25%。 Specifically, 0.2 ng of recombinant ricin A chain protein Ricin-WT-5Cp, Ricin-WT (in3) and Ricin-LE (in3) RQ DNA were separately injected into the embryo of Oriental fruit fly to observe the emergence rate and male and female The ratio was changed in 4 independent experiments. The results of the experiment of injecting 1165 eggs from the three combinations showed that the emergence rate of the spliced ricin A chain protein gene (Ricin-WT-5Cp) group was 3.65%. The emergence rate of the Ricin-WT (in3) group was 6.70%; and the emergence rate of the Ricin-LE (in3) RQ group was 5.25%.

至於羽化後的東方果實蠅的雌雄比,如表1所示。 As for the male-female ratio of the oriental fruit fly after emergence, as shown in Table 1.

可由上述結果得知,除去因注射過程而導致死亡的部分,相較於Ricin-WT(in3)組,Ricin-WT-5Cp組及Ricin-LE(in3)RQ組可在蟲體內產生較高的毒性,証實注入之蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白基因可表現具活性之毒素蛋白。更重要的是在Ricin-LE(in3)RQ組中,雌蟲數目較少,雌雄比例明顯下降(35%),呈現雌性專一性致死的趨勢;反之,在 Ricin-WT-5Cp及Ricin-WT(in3)組中觀察到雌雄比例接近1:1,沒有發現性別專一性致死現象。 From the above results, it can be seen that the part that died due to the injection process was removed, and the Ricin-WT-5Cp group and the Ricin-LE (in3) RQ group were higher in the worm than the Ricin-WT (in3) group. Toxicity, it was confirmed that the injected ricin A chain protein gene can express active toxin protein. More importantly, in the Ricin-LE (in3) RQ group, the number of females was small, and the ratio of male to female was significantly decreased (35%), showing a trend of female-specific death; In the Ricin-WT-5Cp and Ricin-WT (in3) groups, the ratio of male to female was observed to be close to 1:1, and no gender-specific lethality was observed.

上述實施例結合重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統及東方果實蠅雙基因選擇性剪接機制,使得蓖麻毒素A鍊的毒性僅在雌蟲體內產生,而不對雄蟲產生毒害。此一效果可改變東方果實蠅族群比例,造成雄多雌少,進而可以達成防治的效果。並且,經由上述蛋白質合成抑制分析及胚胎注射活性分析,確認經本發明重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統所獲得之經過修飾後的蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白依然具有其生物毒性;同時也確認蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白第119至121個胺基酸區段對於蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白之毒素設計應用上是一個十分恰當的位置。 The above embodiment combines the recombinant ricin A chain protein system and the oriental fruit fly double gene alternative splicing mechanism, so that the toxicity of the ricin A chain is only produced in the female body, and is not toxic to the male. This effect can change the proportion of the oriental fruit fly population, resulting in less male and female, and thus can achieve the effect of prevention and treatment. Furthermore, it was confirmed by the above-described protein synthesis inhibition assay and embryo injection activity analysis that the modified ricin A chain protein obtained by the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention still has biological toxicity; ricin is also confirmed. The 119th to 121th amino acid segment of the A-chain protein is a very suitable place for the design of the toxin of the ricin A chain protein.

本發明之重組蓖麻毒素A鍊蛋白系統之用途並不僅限於上述實施例,亦可應用於特定蛋白表現模式的檢測,亦可用以作為標示分子以毒殺特定之目標細胞。 The use of the recombinant ricin A chain protein system of the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and can also be applied to the detection of specific protein expression patterns, and can also be used as a marker molecule to poison specific target cells.
