Definitions
- the invention is in the field of molecular biology. It relates, more particularly, to cloned genes and their use in diagnostic, therapeutic and related applications.
- exendin 4 a novel peptide from lizard venom that displays 52% identity to mammalian GLP-1 prompted studies examining the biological properties of this protein, designated exendin 4 (Eng. et al . (1992) J.Biol . Chem . 267, 7402-7405) . Experiments employing synthetic exendin 4 provided evidence that this peptide shares similar biological activities with mammalian GLP-1. Exendin 4 and truncated GLP-1 [7-36] -amide increased cAMP levels in guinea pig acinar cell preparations (Rauf an et al . , 1992, J.Biol . Chem .
- exendin 4 was subsequently shown to bind the GLP-1 receptor, stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and increase both cAMP accumulation and insulin gene expression in cultured islet cell lines in vitro (Goke et al . , 1993, J .Biol . Chem . 268, 19850-19855) . While full length exendin 4(1-39) is a strong agonist of GLP-1, truncated exendin 4(9-39)NH 3 is a competitive antagonist of both exendin 4 and GLP-1. (Raufman, 1996, Regulatory Peptides 61 : 1-18 . The insulinotropic GLP-1-li e properties of exendin suggest that this lizard peptide may also be useful for the treatment of patients with diabetes.
- a polynucleotide coding for reptilian exendin has now been isolated and characterized. Surprisingly, the polynucleotide isolated encodes a proexendin pleiotropic peptide which encodes a novel 47 amino acid peptide fused to the amino terminus of exendin (the 47 amino acid ENTP) . The first 23 amino acids of the ENTP form a consensus signal peptide sequence. At the fusion between the novel peptide and exendin is a consensus dipeptidyl peptidase cleavage site. Cleavage at this site will excise a 2mer consisting of residues 46 and 47, and exendin 4.
- the present invention provides a polynucleotide encoding a proexendin.
- the invention provides polynucleotides encoding lizard exendin 4 peptide and a 47 amino acid exendin N-terminal peptide (47 amino acid ENTP) .
- the invention provides polynucleotides encoding a 47 amino acid ENTP.
- the invention provides a polynucleotides encoding a 23 amino acid secretory signal peptide and a 22 amino acid ENTP.
- proexendin polynucleotide or a fragment thereof are utilized for further gene cloning to identify structurally related polynucleotides and species homologs.
- anti-sense versions of proexendin encoding polynucleotide and fragments thereof are obtained and utilized to regulate proexendin expression.
- the invention also provides, in one of its aspects, polynucleotides which hybridize to the polynucleotides encoding lizard proexendin, and complements thereof.
- such nucleotides hybridize under medium stringent conditions, and encode functionally equivalent gene products.
- polynucleotides which hybridize under stringent conditions to polynucleotides encoding lizard proexendin, and complements thereof are provided.
- the proexendin encoded peptides are provided as products of recombinant production in a cellular host.
- recombinant host cells that express proexendin cDNA, and expression constructs in which polynucleotide coding for the proexendin encoded peptides are linked to expression controls functional in the selected host cell.
- substantially purified novel exendin N-terminal peptides and substantially purified exendin 4(1-40) are provided.
- the invention provides specific antibodies directed to the 45 amino acid or 22 amino acid ENTPs, for use for example in diagnosis of conditions wherein the level of proexendin is altered.
- Figure 1 is a 492 polynucleotide sequence nucleotides, nucleotides 64-465 of which encode the lizard proexendin pleiotropic peptide.
- Figure 2 is the 87 amino acid sequence of the lizard proexendin gene product. The broken lines underscore the novel ENTP sequence, and the carboxyl terminal region of proexendin which diverges from the published sequences of exendin proteins.
- the invention relates in one respect to polynucleotides that code for the proexendin peptides.
- Such polynucleotides may be in the form of RNA, or in the form of DNA including cDNA, genomic DNA and synthetic DNA.
- the proexendin transcript is encoded by nucleic acids 64-465 of the polynucleotide sequence of Figure 1.
- This particular proexendin peptide encoding nucleic acid is a cDNA of lizard origin and encodes a single transcript which encodes two peptides; these are the exendin 4 peptide which it should be noted is a 40 amino acid peptide shown as amino acids 48-87 of Figure 2, and a 45 amino acid length peptide which is shown as amino acids 1-45 amino acids of Figure 2, linked to the N-terminus of the exendin 4 peptide by a consensus dipeptidyl peptidase cleavage site shown as amino acids 46 and 47 of Figure 2.
- ENTP peptide includes a 23 amino acid signal peptide sequence, and a 22 amino acid ENTP.
- the ENTP peptide is expected to exhibit biological activity as a peptide hormone.
- the invention is also based, in part, on the discovery that mammalian homologs of proexendin exist. As shown by way of working examples, below, such homologs are at least expressed in murine heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. Given this information, as well as the demonstrated biological activities of exendin 4 on a variety of different mammalian cells, (including human, guinea pig and rat) homologs of proexendin are likely to be found in all mammalian species.
- the proexendin nucleotide sequences of the invention include: (a) the DNA sequence shown in FIG. 1; (b) the nucleotide sequence that encodes the amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 2; (c) any nucleotide sequence that hybridizes to the complement of the DNA sequence shown in FIG. 1 under highly stringent conditions, e . g. , hybridization to filter-bound DNA in 0.5 M NaHP0 4 , 7% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1 mM EDTA at 65°C, and washing in O.lxSSC/0.1% SDS at 68°C (Ausubel F.M. et al., eds., 1989, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol.
- proexendin include naturally occurring proexendin present in other species, and mutant proexendin whether naturally occurring or engineered which retain at least some of the functional activities of proexendin (i.e., processing to peptides ENTP and exendin, binding to the exendin receptor, agonist of GLP-1, stimulate adenylate cyclase production, antagonist of GLP-1) .
- the invention also includes degenerate variants of sequences (a) through (d) .
- the invention also includes nucleic acid molecules, preferably DNA molecules, that hybridize to, and are therefore the complements of, the nucleotide sequences (a) through (d) , in the preceding paragraph.
- Such hybridization conditions may be highly stringent or less highly stringent, as described above.
- highly stringent conditions may refer, e.g., to washing in 6xSSC/0.05% sodium pyrophosphate at 37 °C (for 14-base oligos) , 48°C (for 17-base oligos) , 55°C (for 20-base oligos) , and 60°C (for 23-base oligos) .
- nucleic acid molecules may encode or act as proexendin antisense molecules, useful, for example, in proexendin gene regulation (for and/or as antisense primers in amplification reactions of proexendin gene nucleic acid sequences) .
- proexendin gene regulation such techniques can be used to regulate, for example, suppression of cell function.
- sequences may be used as part of ribozyme and/or triple helix sequences, also useful for proexendin gene regulation.
- such molecules may be used as components of diagnostic methods whereby, for example, the tissue type of a tumor cell may be determined.
- proexendin nucleotide sequences described above full length proexendin cDNA or gene sequences present in the same species and/or homologs of the proexendin gene transcripts present in other species can be identified and readily isolated, without undue experimentation, by molecular biological techniques well known in the art. As shown below by way of example, the proexendin transcript is conserved between mammalian and reptilian species. Indeed, polynucleotides encoding homologs of novel proexendin may be isolated from a variety of mammalian cells, preferably human and murine cells, known or suspected to contain proexendin, particularly cells of salivary gland, skeletal muscle, heart, and pancreatic origin.
- the invention provides proexendin polynucleotide, or fragments thereof, as a tools useful to identify structurally related nucleic acids.
- nucleic acid libraries can be probed to identify genes that are at least about 40% homologous to the proexendin gene.
- homologs desirably have 80% sequence identity at the nucleic acid level to the lizard exendin gene. More desirably they are 90% identical, and most desirably they have at least 95% sequence identity when compared to the lizard proexendin gene. It will be clear that increasing the stringency of the hybridization conditions will result in increased sequence identity of the homolog thereby isolated, with lizard exendin gene.
- the nucleic acids of the present invention may be used to isolate the exendin 3 gene by probing, using high stringency conditions, a cDNA library derived from the salivary gland of the lizard Heloderma horridum .
- a cDNA library derived from the salivary gland of the lizard Heloderma horridum .
- the invention includes not only lizard exendin encoding genes but structural homologs and particularly those that code for proteins having exendin like properties e.g. bind to the GLP-1 receptor.
- the invention provides polynucleotides that encode proexendin, including lizard proexendin genes, reptilian proexendin genes, and mammalian homologs thereof.
- cDNA libraries, or genomic DNA libraries derived from the organism of interest can be screened by hybridization using the nucleotides described herein as hybridization or amplification probes.
- genes at other genetic loci within the genome that encode proteins which have extensive homology to one or more novel domains of the proexendin gene product can also be identified via similar techniques.
- screening techniques can identify clones derived from alternatively spliced transcripts in the same or different species.
- sequences of the exendin gene of at least about 15 nucleotides, and preferably of at least about 17 nucleic acids could be used to generate probes useful to identify nucleic acid molecules encoding proexendin homologs.
- sequences, and the intact gene itself may be used of course to clone proexendin related genes by standard hybridization techniques.
- DNA coding for other exendins, for example other lizard exendins or mammalian homologs can be obtained by applying selected techniques of gene isolation or gene synthesis. Screening can be by filter hybridization, using duplicate filters.
- the labeled probe can contain at least 15-30 base pairs of the proexendin nucleotide sequence, as shown in FIG. 2.
- hybridization washing conditions used should be of a lower stringency when the cDNA library is derived from an organism different from the type of organism from which the labeled sequence was derived.
- hybridization can, for example, be performed at 50°C overnight in 1% SDS, 1 M NaCl, 2 ⁇ M EDTA, 1% BSA) . Washes can be done with 0.1XSSC, 1% SDS at 50°C.
- hybridization can, for example, be performed at 65°C overnight in Church's buffer (7% SDS, 250 mM NaHP0 4 , 2 ⁇ M EDTA, 1% BSA). Washes can be done with 2XSSC, 0.1% SDS at 65°C and then at 0.1XSSC, 0.1% SDS at 65°C. Low stringency conditions are well known to those of skill in the art, and will vary predictably depending on the specific organisms from which the library and the labeled sequences are derived.
- Isolation of the exendin homolog typically will entail extraction of total messenger RNA from a fresh source of pancreas, heart or skeletal muscle tissue, followed by conversion of message to cDNA and formation of a library in for example a bacterial plasmid, more typically a bacteriophage.
- bacteriophage harboring fragments of the human DNA are typically grown by plating on a lawn of susceptible E. coli bacteria, such that individual phage plaques or colonies can be isolated.
- the DNA carried by the phage colony is then typically immobilized on a nitro-cellulose or nylon-based hybridization membrane, and then hybridized, under carefully controlled conditions, to a radioactively (or otherwise) labelled probe sequence to identify the particular phage colony carrying the fragment of DNA of particular interest, in this case a proexendin homolog.
- the phage carrying the particular gene of interest is then purified away from all other phages from the library, in order that the foreign gene may be more easily characterized.
- the gene or a portion thereof is subcloned into a plasmidic vector for convenience, especially with respect to the full determination of its DNA sequence.
- lizard proexendin gene it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art of molecular biology mammalian homologs of the lizard exendin gene are available by screening mammalian pancreas, heart or skeletal muscle cDNA or genomic library by using the lizard exendin gene or fragments thereof as a probe, using standard molecular biological techniques.
- a proexendin gene homolog may be isolated from nucleic acid of the organism of interest by performing PCR using two degenerate oligonucleotide primer pools designed on the basis of amino acid sequences within the novel proexendin gene product disclosed herein.
- the template for the reaction may be cDNA obtained by reverse transcription of mRNA prepared from, for example, human or non-human cell lines or cell types, such as heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas cell types, known or suspected to express such a proexendin gene allele.
- the invention also encompasses nucleotide sequences that encode mutant proexendin, peptide fragments of proexendin, truncated proexendin protein, and proexendin fusion proteins.
- Particularly preferred polynucleotides are those which encode functional domains of proexendin, such as the 47 amino acid
- Nucleotides encoding fusion proteins may include but are not limited to full length proexendin, truncated proexendin, or peptide fragments of proexendin fused to an unrelated protein or peptide, such as for example, an epitope tag which aids in purification or detection of the resulting fusion protein; or an enzyme, fluorescent protein, luminescent protein which can be used as a marker.
- the proexendin gene sequences may additionally be used to isolate mutant proexendin gene alleles. Such mutant alleles may be isolated from individuals either known or proposed to have a genotype which contributes to the symptoms of metabolic abnormalities. Additionally, such proexendin gene sequences can be used to detect proexendin gene regulatory (e.g., promoter or promotor/enhancer) defects which may be involved in metabolic disorders. Further, nucleotides encoding the deduced secretory signal sequence may be fused in frame to nucleotides encoding heterologous gene products and thus used to direct the secretion of such gene products.
- proexendin gene regulatory e.g., promoter or promotor/enhancer
- the invention also encompasses (a) DNA vectors that contain any of the foregoing proexendin coding sequences and/or their complements (i.e., antisense); (b) DNA expression vectors that contain any of the foregoing proexendin coding sequences operatively associated with a regulatory element that directs the expression of the coding sequences; and (c) genetically engineered host cells that contain any of the foregoing proexendin coding sequences operatively associated with a regulatory element that directs the expression of the coding sequences in the host cell.
- the proexendin gene products can be produced in a number of ways, including in vitro transcription and via incorporation of the DNA into a suitable expression vector and expression in the appropriate host, for example a bacteria such as E.coli, yeast or a mammalian cell. It should be noted that a material is said to 'isolated' or 'substantially free of natural contaminants' if it has been substantially purified from materials with which it is normally and naturally found.
- polynucleotide' as used herein means that the polynucleotide is not in its natural environment, for example the polynucleotide is functionally associated with heterologous nucleic acid sequences.
- a variety of gene expression systems have been adapted for use with these hosts and are now commercially available, and any one of these systems can be selected to drive expression of the exendin-encoding DNA.
- Expression vectors may be selected to provide transformed cell lines that express the proexendin-encoding DNA either transiently or in a stable manner. For transient expression, host cells are typically transformed with an expression vector harboring an origin of replication functional in a mammalian cell.
- the vectors will typically harbor a gene coding for a product that confers on the transformants a survival advantage, to enable their selection such as a gene coding for neomycin resistance in which case the transformants are plated in medium supplemented with neomycin.
- These systems available typically in the form of plasmidic vectors, incorporate expression cassettes the functional components of which include DNA constituting expression controlling sequences, which are host-recognized and enable expression of the proexendin-encoding DNA when linked 5' thereof.
- the systems further incorporate DNA sequences which terminate expression when linked 3 ' of the proexendin-encoding region.
- a recombinant DNA expression construct in which the proexendin-encoding DNA is linked with expression controlling DNA sequences recognized by the host, and which include a region 5' of the proexendin-encoding DNA to drive expression, and a 3' region to terminate expression.

- Novel proexendin polypeptides and peptide fragments, mutated, truncated or deleted forms of proexendin and proexendin fusion proteins can be prepared for a variety of uses, including but not limited to the generation of antibodies, as reagents in diagnostic assays, the identification of other cellular gene products involved in the regulation of cellular metabolism, as reagents in assays screening for compounds that can be used in the treatment of metabolism disorders, and as pharmaceutical reagents useful in the treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
- proexendin amino acid sequences of the invention include the amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID No:2). Further, proexendins of other species are encompassed by the invention. In fact, any protein encoded by the proexendin nucleotide sequences described above, as long as they contain either the ENTP sequence or the novel carboxyl terminus of exendin, are within the scope of the invention.
- the present invention also provides, in another of its aspects, antibody to the ENTP peptides or to exendin.
- Antibodies to proexendin peptide sequences are useful for a variety of purposes.
- proexendin, including the ENTP peptides may be used as a marker for tissue specific activity. Endocrine tumors which secrete abnormal amounts of proexendin, or fragments of proexendin, may be detected by assaying for the circulating levels of proexendin or proexendin fragments.
- proexendin is known to be expressed by pancreas, heart, and skeletal muscle tissue. Further, organ or tissue failure of proexendin-expressing tissues may be revealed by an alteration or decrease in the amount of detectable proexendin. Additionally, such antibodies are useful in detecting the presence and level of venom peptides in humans suffering from envenomation following reptilian bites. Moreover, such antibodies are useful for neutralizing venom proteins .
- the ENTP gene product or exendin or immunogenic fragments thereof may be used, produced in a microbial or mammalian cell host as described above or by standard peptide synthesis techniques. Specifically, the 45 amino acid ENTP or the 22 amino acid ENTP or immunogenic fragments thereof may be used in this. Standard immunization protocols may be followed. Typically, the peptides would be formulated in PBS, or an adjuvant such as Freunds or alum may be incorporated in the immunogen. Usually for peptides less than lOkd in molecular weight the peptide is conjugated to a carrier such as Keyhole Limpet hemocyanin.
- test animals would typically be injected sub-cutaneously with immunogen having in the order of 0.5-1 mg of the peptide per bolus followed by a intramuscular booster injection approximately 2 to 3 weeks later with 100-200 ⁇ g of peptide formulated in PBS.
- the intramuscular injection may be repeated 2-3 weeks later if test bleeds show it to be required .
- One source of antibodies to the desired proexendin gene products or fragment thereof is from the blood of an animal that has been immunized with the above mentioned im unogens.
- immunocytes such as splenocytes can be recovered from the immunized animal and fused, using hybridoma technology, to myeloma cells.
- Monoclonal antibodies are particularly preferred for generating antibodies specific to a single epitope.
- the fusion products are then screened by culturing in a selection medium, and cells producing antibody are recovered for continuous growth, and antibody recovery. Recovered antibody can then be coupled covalently to a detectable label, such as a radiolabel, enzyme label, 0 luminescent label or the like, using linker technology established for this purpose.
- Animal model systems which elucidate the physiological and behavioral roles of the proexendin gene products are produced 5 by creating transgenic animals in which the activity of the peptide encoded therein are either increased or decreased, or the amino acid sequence of the expressed proexendin peptide of interest is altered, by a variety of techniques.
- Examples of these techniques include, but are not limited to: 1) 0 insertion of normal or mutant versions of DNA encoding proexendin peptides, by microinjection, electroporation, retroviral transfection or other means well known to those skilled in the art, into appropriate fertilized embryos in order to produce a transgenic animal, or 2) homologous 5 recombination of mutant or normal, human or animal versions of these genes with the native gene locus in transgenic animals to alter the regulation of expression or the structure of these peptide sequences.
- the technique of homologous recombination is well known in the art.
- It 0 replaces the native gene with the inserted gene and so is useful for producing an animal that cannot express native proexendin peptides but does express, for example, an inserted mutant proexendin peptides, which have replaced the native proexendin peptides in the animals genome by ⁇ recombination, resulting in underexpression of the peptides.
- Microinjection adds genes to the genome, but does not remove them, and so is useful for producing an animal which expresses its own and added proexendin peptides, resulting in overexpression of the proexendin or peptides of interest.
- transgenic animal One means available for producing a transgenic animal, with a mouse as an example, is as follows. Female mice are mated, and the resulting fertilized eggs dissected out of their oviducts. The eggs are stored in an appropriate medium such as M2 medium.
- a vector containing DNA or cDNA encoding a proexendin peptide is cesium chloride purified from by methods well known in the art.
- Inducible promoters may be fused with the coding region of the DNA to provide an experimental means to regulate expression of the transgene.
- tissue specific regulatory elements may be fused with the coding region to permit tissue-specific expression of the trans-gene.
- microinjection needle which may be made from capillary tubing using a piper puller
- the egg to be injected is put in a depression slide.
- the needle is inserted into the pronucleus of the egg, and the DNA solution is injected.
- the injected egg is then transferred into the oviduct of a pseudopregnant mouse (a mouse stimulated by the appropriate hormones to maintain pregnancy, but which is not actually pregnant) , where it proceeds to the uterus, implants, and develops to term.
- pseudopregnant mouse a mouse stimulated by the appropriate hormones to maintain pregnancy, but which is not actually pregnant

- the ENTP sequence is followed by a dibasic pair of amino acids, lysine and arginine, characteristic of prohormone convertase cleavage sites, and the 40 amino acid exendin sequence.
- the lizard exendin nucleotide probe can be used to obtain mammalian exendin cDNAs by standard molecular biology techniques.
- the lizard exendin probe was 32 P-labelled by the random priming technique, and used in Northern blot analysis (hybridization was performed at 50 °C in 1M NaCl, 1%SDS and washing was performed at 50 °C in 0. IX SSC, 1%SDS) to detect corresponding mouse exendin mRNA transcripts in various mouse tissues.
- Mouse exendin mRNA transcripts about 1.2 kb in size, were detected in RNA from mouse heart.
- Mouse exendin mRNAs were also detected, about 1.0 kb in size, in RNA from skeletal muscle, and a mouse exendin RNA transcript of about 1.0 kb can be detected in RNA from mouse pancreas.
