Definitions
- the present invention relates to the mammalian fshOS gene, a novel gene associated with neuropsychiatric and 5 oxidative stress disorders in humans.
- the invention encompasses fsh05 nucleic acids, recombinant DNA molecules, cloned genes or degenerate variants thereof, fsh05 gene products and antibodies directed against such gene products, cloning vectors containing mammalian fsh05 gene molecules, 0 and hosts that have been genetically engineered to express such molecules.
- the invention further relates to methods for the identification of compounds that modulate the expression, synthesis and activity of fsh05 and to using compounds such as those identified as therapeutic agents in the treatment of 5 a fsh05 disorder; a neuropsychiatric disorder, including, by way of example and not of limitation, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, a schizoaffective disorder, a bipolar affective disorder or a unipolar affective disorder; or an oxidative stress disorder.
- the invention also relates 0 to methods for the diagnostic evaluation, genetic testing and prognosis of a fsh05 disorder, of a neuropsychiatric disorder, including, by way of example and not of limitation, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, a schizoaffective disorder, a bipolar affective disorder or a unipolar 5 affective disorder, or of an oxidative stress disorder.
- NEUROPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS There are only a few psychiatric disorders in which clinical manifestations of the disorder can be correlated with demonstrable defects in the structure and/or function of the nervous system.
- Well-known examples of such disorders include Huntington 1 s disease, which can be traced to a mutation in a single gene and in which neurons in the striatum degenerate, and Parkinson's disease, in which dopaminergic neurons in the nigro-striatal pathway degenerate.
- the vast majority of psychiatric disorders however, presumably involve subtle and/or undetectable changes, at the cellular and/or molecular levels, in nervous system structure and function.
- Neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, attention deficit disorders, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar affective disorders, or unipolar affective disorder, from neurological disorders, in which anatomical or biochemical pathologies are manifest.
- identification of the causative defects and the neuropathologies of neuropsychiatric disorders are needed in order to enable clinicians to evaluate and prescribe appropriate courses of treatment to cure or ameliorate the symptoms of these disorders.
- bipolar affective disorder also known as bipolar mood disorder (BP) or manic-depressive illness, which is characterized by episodes of elevated mood (mania) and depression (Goodwin, et al . , 1990, Manic Depressive Illness , Oxford University Press, New York) .
- BP-I severe bipolar affective (mood) disorder
- SAD-M schizoaffective disorder manic type
- BP-I often co-segregates in families with more etiologically heterogeneous syndromes, such as with a unipolar affective 5 disorder such as unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD) , which is a more broadly defined phenotype (Freimer and Reus, 1992, in The Molecular and Genetic Basis of Neurological Disease , Rosenberg, et al . , eds., Butterworths, New York, pp. 951-965; Mclnnes and Freimer, 1995, Curr. Opin. Genet.
- MDD unipolar major depressive disorder
- BP-I and SAD-M are severe mood disorders that are frequently difficult to distinguish from one another on a cross-sectional basis, follow similar clinical courses, and segregate together in family studies (Rosenthal, et al . , 1980, Arch. General Psychiat. 37, 804-
- DSM Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
- Mapping genes for common diseases believed to be caused by multiple genes, such as BAD may be complicated by the typically imprecise definition of phenotypes, by etiologic heterogeneity, and by uncertainty about the mode of genetic transmission of the disease trait. With neuropsychiatric disorders there is even greater ambiguity in distinguishing individuals who likely carry an affected genotype from those who are genetically unaffected. For example, one can define an affected phenotype for BAD by including one or more of the broad grouping of diagnostic classifications that constitute the mood disorders: BP-I, SAD-M, MDD, and bipolar affective (mood) disorder with hypomania and major depression (BP-II) .
- individuals who inherit a predisposing allele may not manifest disease; (3) a phenocopy phenomenon may occur, i.e., individuals who do not inherit a predisposing allele may nevertheless develop disease due to environmental or random causes; (4) genetic heterogeneity may exist, in which case mutations in any one of several genes may result in identical phenotypes.
- OXIDATIVE STRESS DISORDERS The accumulation of oxidative stress is recognized to be contributing factor to tissue damage in conditions ranging from autoimmunity, inflammation and ischemia, to head trauma, cataracts, and neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Defects in antioxidant defense mechanisms, such as mutations in oxidoreductases, therefore, are thought to be responsible for development of various diseases. For example, mutations in Cu/Zn ⁇ uperoxide dismutase gene are associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Rosen, et al .
- the zeta-crystallin superfamily is a collection of quinone oxidoreductases (Babiychuk, et al . , 1995, J. Biol. Chem. 270, 26224-26231) . High levels of zeta-crystallin is expressed in guinea pig lens and is thought to be an 0 adaptation to control reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.
- ROS reactive oxygen species

- the genomic structure of the fsh05 was determined by aligning the cDNA sequence with the genomic sequence and by identifying the splice sites for the intron-exon boundaries.
- the intron between exon 1 and exon 2 is approximately 6489 bp in length.
- Northern analvsi ⁇ Standard Northern analysis techniques were utilized in probing human and fetal multiple tissue Northern blots purchased from Clontech (Palo Alto, CA) . Blots were hybridized to a 777 bp probe, which was derived by PCR from a f ⁇ hO ⁇ cDNA sequence.
- In situ hybridization analy ⁇ is. In situ hybridization was performed as described in Rhodes et al. (1996, J. Neurosci. 16(16) :4846-4860) .
- Linkage Diseguilibrium Prior to attempting to identify gene sequence ⁇ , ⁇ tudie ⁇ were performed to further narrow the neuropsychiatric disorder region. Specifically, a linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis was performed using population sample ⁇ and technique ⁇ as described in Section 6.1, above, which took advantage of the additional physical markers identified via the physical mapping techniques described below. Hi ⁇ h resolution phv ⁇ ical mapping u ⁇ ing YAC. BAC and
- the radiation hybrid (RH) mapping technique was independently applied to the region being analyzed.
- RH was used to order all microsatellite markers and non-polymorphic STSs in the region.
- the high resolution physical map ultimately constructed was obtained using data from RH mapping and STS- content mapping.
- the new markers identified via physical mapping were typed in an LD analysi ⁇ of ⁇ ample ⁇ collected from place ⁇ affected with bipolar affective di ⁇ order.
- One interpretation of the results of this LD analysis narrows down the chromosome 18 long arm region within which a gene involved in neuropsychiatric disorders lies to an interval of about 500 kb between the publicly available markers D18S1121 and D18S380.
- the BAC clones within the newly identified 500 kb neuropsychiatric disorder region were further analyzed to identify specific genes within the region.
- a combination of sample sequencing, cDNA selection and transcription mapping analyses were combined to arrange sequences into tentative transcription unit ⁇ , that i ⁇ , tentatively delineating the coding sequences of genes within this genomic region of interest.
- fshO ⁇ One of the transcription units identified was termed fshO ⁇ .
- the corresponding fshO ⁇ gene can, therefore, be involved in neuropsychiatric disorder ⁇ .
- f ⁇ hOS cDNA clone ⁇ were isolated through ⁇ creening and random ⁇ equencing of a human fetal brain cDNA library.
- FSH5-1 ATCC accession No. 9831
- FSH5-2 ATCC accession No. 983128 .
- a partial cDNA sequence was deduced (SEQ ID N0:1J that encoded a partial amino acid sequence that was missing the first 60 amino acids encoded by the full length cDNA (see below) .
- an EST was identified, EST U55988, that encompasses the 3', primarily non-coding, region of fsh05.
- a full length cDNA designated EpDHlOb (ATCC accession No. 98472], was isolated as described above in Section 6.1.
- the cDNA encodes a protein of 363 amino acids and has an open reading frame of 1089 base pairs (SEQ ID NO:8).
- fsh05 gene sequence (SEQ ID NO: 12) is contained within BAC54 (Identification Reference EpHS996, ATCC Accession No. 98363). fshOS nucleotide and amino acid sequences are shown in
- Exon sizes Exons 1 and 2 and their intron-exon border sequences are shown in Figures 3 -3B. Exon 1 and Exon 2 are separated by an intron of 6489 bp. Exon 1 is 167 bp in length (as shown delineated by the brackets [] in Figure 3A) .
- One set of primers were designed to hybridize to sequences outside and flanking the exon (as shown in bold) and to hence amplify the whole coding region plus the intron-exon boundaries.
- the amplification product is 325 bp including the intron-exon borders and the entire exon 1 (see also Table 1 above) .
- Exon 2 and its intron-exon border sequences are shown in Figure 3A-3B.
- Exon 2 is 925 bp in length including the stop codon, but not the 3' -UTR (as shown delineated by the brackets [ ] in Figures 3A-3B) .
- the four sets of primers indicated in the sequence (see also Table 3) amplify products that overlap with each other and cover the whole coding region of exon 2 plus the 5' intron-exon border.
- Amino acid sequence identity The fsh05 gene product sequence depicted in Figures 1A-1C exhibits some amino acid sequence similarity with two known genes identified from other distantly related species. First, the fsh05 gene product exhibits approximately 43% amino acid sequence identity with the entire coding region (340 amino acids) of p36, a possible Leishmania amazonensis quinone oxidoreductase
- the depicted portion of the f ⁇ hO ⁇ gene product also exhibits approximately 46% amino acid sequence identity with the 341 terminal amino acid portion of ARP, an Arabidopsis thaliana NADPH oxidoreductase homolog (Babiychuk, et al . , 1995, J. Biol. Chem. 270, 26224-26231).
- ARP Arabidopsis thaliana NADPH oxidoreductase homolog
- the fshO ⁇ gene product may therefore provide the cells in which it is expressed with protection against oxidative stress, as described below.
- ARP with which the f ⁇ hO ⁇ gene product shares at least 46% amino acid sequence identity, has been previously identified by a functional assay in which expression of ARP in a yeast strain provides the yeast host with a defense against oxidative stres ⁇ (Babiychuk, et al . , 1995, J. Biol. Chem. 270, 26224-26231).
- the role of fshO ⁇ gene product in protection of cell ⁇ against oxidative stress may be similarly asse ⁇ sed by such an assay.
- f ⁇ hO ⁇ gene product in protection of cells against oxidative stres ⁇ may al ⁇ o be assessed by assays in which expres ⁇ ion of fshO ⁇ in an appropriate bacterial ⁇ train provide ⁇ the bacterial ho ⁇ t with a defen ⁇ e against oxidative stres ⁇ (Liu and Chang, 1994, Mol. and Bioc. Para ⁇ . 66:201-210; Storz, 1989, J. Bact. 171:2049-2055).
- bacterial strains can include, but are not limited to. Lei ⁇ hmania spp. , E ⁇ cherichia coli , and Salmonella typhimurium.
- Oxidative ⁇ tress refers to the damage done to cells and tissues by reactive oxygen species (ROS) , such as superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, which are natural byproducts of metabolism and can also result from exposure to free radical-generating compounds in the environment.
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- Oxidative ⁇ tress can oxidize proteins, altering or destroying their function or oxidize lipids, causing a chain reaction leading to los ⁇ of cell membrane integrity.
- Hydrogen peroxide which break ⁇ down to produce hydroxyl radicals, can al ⁇ o activate NF-kB, a transcription factor involved in stimulating inflammatory respon ⁇ e ⁇ .
- Aerobic organisms have evolved a number of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense mechanism ⁇ to counteract the harmful effect ⁇ of ROS and maintain the cellular ⁇ teady- ⁇ tate of pro-oxidant ⁇ and antioxidants (Sies, 1993, Eur. J. Biochem. 215:213-219).
- Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene are associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclero ⁇ is (Rosen, et al . , 1993, Nature 362:59-62) and mutations in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxida ⁇ e gene ⁇ ⁇ egregate with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (Davis, et al . , 1997, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:4526-4531).
- Northern analysis Northern analysi ⁇ wa ⁇ u ⁇ ed to examine fshO ⁇ expression. The Northern analysis revealed that fshO ⁇ is expressed in adult heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, and in fetal brain, lung, liver, and kidney. Bands of 6 kb and 4 kb were seen in all the above tissues.
- In situ hybridization analysis In situ analysi ⁇ using monkey brain shows that the fshO ⁇ sequence is highly expressed in the brain, and is widely and predominantly expressed in cortical areas, including the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex.
- fshO ⁇ is likely to play an important defense mechanism against oxidative stress in brain, as well as other tissues where it is expres ⁇ ed, and that, a ⁇ a corollary, mutation ⁇ in fshO ⁇ could be involved in BAD a ⁇ well a ⁇ other neurological disorders.
- the regions in which fshO ⁇ is expres ⁇ ed are regions of the brain in which extracellular plaques containing amyloid deposition, which are a prominent feature of Alzheimer's disease, may form (see e .g. , Goldman et al., 1991, in Kandel et al. , Principle ⁇ of Neural Science , 3rd Edition, Elsevier, New York, p. 977) .
- f ⁇ hO ⁇ f ⁇ hO ⁇
- the regions in which f ⁇ hO ⁇ is expressed e.g., the hippocampus and its major input pathway from the entorhinal cortex, the amygdala, the hypothalamus, the thalamu ⁇ , and portions of the neocortex compri ⁇ e part of the neural pathway proposed to regulate emotions (see, e.g., Kupfermann, 1991, in Kandel et al., Principle ⁇ of Neural Science , 3rd Edition, Elsevier, New York, p. 737) .
- Altered expression of fshO ⁇ in ⁇ uch region ⁇ may lead to disorders of emotional state ⁇ , such a ⁇ BAD.
- fshO ⁇ gene products are identified by a ⁇ ay ⁇ in which the regulated expression of fshO ⁇ in E. coli provides the E. coli host with a defense against oxidative stress (Liu and Chang, 1994, Mol. and Bioc. Paras. 66:201-210; Storz, 1989, J. Bact. 171:2049-2055).
- Such as ⁇ ays can be used to identify fshO ⁇ gene products, and portions, fragments or domains thereof that confer a protective defense against oxidative stress.
- Such assay ⁇ can also be used in screen ⁇ of te ⁇ t compound ⁇ that affect f ⁇ hO ⁇ activity and that may be u ⁇ ed to ameliorate the ⁇ ymptoms of a f ⁇ hO ⁇ disorder or a neuropsychiatric disorder, such as BAD.
- pBAD bacterial expres ⁇ ion vectors (Guzman, 1995, J.
- Bact. 177(14) :4121-4130) are used to express a full length f ⁇ hO ⁇ cDNA in E . coli strain KS272.
- the pBAD vectors contain the araB promotor, which is inducible with arabinose. Expre ⁇ ion with the ⁇ e vector ⁇ i ⁇ titratable by controlling arabinose concentration. This promotor also allows for highly efficient repression of expres ⁇ ion with glucose.
- pBADl ⁇ contains a relatively high copy number of pBR origin of replication.
- pBAD30 contains a very low copy number of pACYC origin. This permits more control over expres ⁇ ion level ⁇ than with typical bacterial expre ⁇ ion vector ⁇ . Experiments are run in parallel with both types.
- KS272 cells containing f ⁇ hO ⁇ construct ⁇ or vector controls are plated in NZY top agarose onto NZY plates containing ampicillin (lOOmg/ml) and either L-arabinose or gluco ⁇ e (in varying concentration ⁇ ) .
- ampicillin lOOmg/ml
- L-arabinose gluco ⁇ e
- gluco ⁇ e in varying concentration ⁇
- One quarter inch filter paper discs saturated in 1.0 - 1.5 mM diamide, 3% hydrogen peroxide, or 3% cumene hydroperoxide are placed in the center of the plates. The plates are incubated overnight at 37° C. Diameters of the areas of inhibited bacterial growth are measured. These measurement ⁇ quantitate the degree of protection, if any, that varying levels of expre ⁇ ed f ⁇ hO ⁇ provide to bacterial cell ⁇ .
