技术背景 technical background
细胞活动的主要能量来源于 ATP。 线粒体是糖、 脂肪和氨基酸最终释放能量 的场所。 糖和脂肪等营养物质在细胞质中经过酵解作用产生丙酮酸和脂肪酸, 这 些物质选择性地从细胞质进入线粒体基质中, 经过一系列变化降解为含 2 个碳原 子的单位, 与辅酶 A结合形成乙酰辅酶 A进入三羧酸循环, 三羧酸循环脱下的氢 经线粒体内膜上的电子传递系统即呼吸链, 最后传递给氧。 在此过程中, 能量水 平较高的电子, 经过电子传递降到能量较低水平。 其中所释放出的能量以高能磷 酸键形式, 通过 ADP 的磷酸化, 生成含高能磷酸键的 ATP储存于体内。 由上可以 看出, 呼吸链是向生物体提供能量的重要的系统, 对生命活动有重大的意义 (细 胞生物学 汪 仁等主编 北京师范大学出版社)。 The main energy of cell activity comes from ATP. Mitochondria are where sugar, fat, and amino acids eventually release energy. Nutrient substances such as sugar and fat are produced in the cytoplasm through fermentation to produce pyruvate and fatty acids. These substances selectively enter the mitochondrial matrix from the cytoplasm, are degraded into units containing 2 carbon atoms through a series of changes, and are combined with CoA to form Acetyl-CoA enters the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the hydrogen removed from the tricarboxylic acid cycle passes through the electron transport system on the inner membrane of the mitochondria, the respiratory chain, and is finally passed to oxygen. During this process, electrons with higher energy levels are reduced to lower energy levels through electron transfer. The energy released is in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds, which are phosphorylated by ADP to generate ATP containing high-energy phosphate bonds and stored in the body. It can be seen from the above that the respiratory chain is an important system for supplying energy to living organisms and has great significance for life activities (Editor of Cell Biology Wang Ren et al. Beijing Normal University Press).
呼吸链主要由以下几类分子组成: 吡啶核苷酸连接的脱氢酶、 黄素相关的脱 氢酶 (黄素蛋白)、 铁硫蛋白、 辅酶 Q、 细胞色素。 The respiratory chain is mainly composed of the following types of molecules: pyridine nucleotide-linked dehydrogenases, flavin-associated dehydrogenases (flavin proteins), iron sulfur protein, coenzyme Q, and cytochromes.
实验证明, 呼吸链的组分均以多分子复合物的形式包埋在线粒体的内膜中(除 辅酶 Q和细胞色素 C外)。 Experiments have shown that the components of the respiratory chain are embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria in the form of multimolecular complexes (except for Coenzyme Q and Cytochrome C).
复合物 I是 NADH脱氢酶, 其作用是催化 NADH的 2个电子传递至辅酶 Q; Complex I is NADH dehydrogenase, whose role is to catalyze the transfer of 2 electrons of NADH to coenzyme Q;
复合物 Π是琥珀酸脱氢酶, 催化电子从琥珀酸通过 FAD 和铁硫蛋白传递至辅 酶 Q; Complex Π is a succinate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from succinate through FAD and iron sulfur protein to coenzyme Q;
复合物 Π Ι是细胞色素 b-c, 其作用是催化电子从辅酶 Q传递至细胞色素 c, 同时发生质子的跨膜转移; Complex II is cytochrome b-c, whose role is to catalyze the transfer of electrons from coenzyme Q to cytochrome c, and the transmembrane transfer of protons occurs at the same time;
复合物 IV是细胞色素 c氧化酶,用于催化细胞色素 c接受的电子传递给氧 (细 胞生物学 翟中和主编 高等教育出版社)。 Complex IV is a cytochrome c oxidase that catalyzes the transfer of electrons received by cytochrome c to oxygen (Zhai Zhonghe, editor of Cell Biology, Higher Education Press).
在这其中., 复合物 I I I有大约 10-11个亚基。 核蛋白 I I是其中第二大的核编码 的亚基 ( Shimomura, Y and Ozawa , T 1982 Biochem Int 5 , 1-6 ); ( Methods
Enzymol 126, 224-237 )e Among them, Complex III has about 10-11 subunits. Nucleoprotein II is the second largest nuclear-encoded subunit (Shimomura, Y and Ozawa, T 1982 Biochem Int 5, 1-6); (Methods Enzymol 126, 224-237) e
从鼠的肝 cDNA文库中克隆到了核蛋白 II的前体, 它是一个有 438个氨基酸残 基的多肽, 其分子量大约为 47KD。 根据已有的研究结果, 我们还已经知道了鼠、 人和酵母的核蛋白 II结构上的相同和差异。 具体的研究过程和结果请参考有关文 献 ( Biochemistry International 1990 Vol 20 No 4 pp731-737 ); ( J Biol Chem 1989 264, 13483-13488 )0 A nucleoprotein II precursor was cloned from a mouse liver cDNA library, which is a polypeptide with 438 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of approximately 47KD. Based on the results of existing studies, we have also known the structural similarities and differences of murine, human and yeast nucleoprotein II. For specific research processes and results, please refer to the relevant literature (Biochemistry International 1990 Vol 20 No 4 pp731-737); (J Biol Chem 1989 264, 13483-13488) 0
核蛋白 II没有氧化还原作用中心, 因此其不直接参与电子传递过程,核蛋白 II 在呼吸链中的作用还处于研究过程中, 分子生物学的一些研究表明, 如果缺乏核 蛋白 Π, 会影响复合物 III的很多亚基的结合 (J Biol Chem 1988 263, 14323-14333 ); (Eur J Biochem 1987 163, 97-103 )。 Nucleoprotein II does not have a redox center, so it does not directly participate in the electron transfer process. The role of nucleoprotein II in the respiratory chain is still in the research process. Some studies in molecular biology have shown that the lack of nucleoprotein Π will affect the compound Binding of many subunits of Compound III (J Biol Chem 1988 263, 14323-14333); (Eur J Biochem 1987 163, 97-103).
虽然对核蛋白 II结构和功能的研究都尚未完全清楚, 但基本上我们可以知道, 核蛋白 II在复合物 III (细胞色素还原酶) 中起重要作用, 从而直接影响着呼吸链 的正常功能, 间接调控氧化磷酸化过程、 线粒体的功能, 对生物的能量提供、 生 命活动有极其重要的作用。 Although the research on the structure and function of nucleoprotein II is not completely clear, basically we can know that nucleoprotein II plays an important role in complex III (cytochrome reductase), which directly affects the normal function of the respiratory chain. It indirectly regulates the oxidative phosphorylation process and mitochondrial function, and has extremely important effects on the energy supply of living organisms and life activities.

上述提到的方法中, 分离基因组 DM 最不常用。 DNA序列的直接化学合成 是经常选用的方法。 更经常选用的方法是 cDNA序列的分离。 分离感兴趣的 cDNA 的标准方法是从高表达该基因的供体细胞分离 mRNA 并进行逆转录, 形成质粒 或噬菌体 cDNA文库。 提取 mRNA 的方法已有多种成熟的技术, 试剂盒也可从商 业途径获得(Qiagene)。 而构建 cDNA 文库也是通常的方法(Sambrook, et a l. , Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manua l , Cold Spr ing Harbor Labora tory. New York, 1989)。还可得到商业供应的 cDNA文库,如 Clontech公司的不同 cDNA 文库。 当结合使用聚合酶反应技术时, 即使极少的表达产物也能克隆。 Of the methods mentioned above, genomic DM is the least commonly used. Direct chemical synthesis of DNA sequences is often the method of choice. The more commonly used method is the isolation of cDNA sequences. The standard method for isolating the cDNA of interest is to isolate mRNA from donor cells that overexpress the gene and perform reverse transcription to form a plasmid or phage cDNA library. There are many mature techniques for mRNA extraction, and kits are also commercially available (Qiagene). And the construction of cDNA libraries is also a common method (Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manua, Cold Spooning Harbor Labora tory. New York, 1989). Commercially available cDNA libraries are also available, such as different cDNA libraries from Clontech. When polymerase reaction technology is used in combination, even very small expression products can be cloned.

These methods include (but are not limited to): (1) DM-DM or DM-RNA hybridization; (2) the presence or absence of a marker gene function; (3) measuring the level of the human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25 transcript; (4) Detecting the protein product of gene expression by immunological technology or measuring biological activity. The above methods can be used singly or in combination.

In addition, the length of the probe is usually within 2000 nucleotides, preferably within 1000 nucleotides.

抑制人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25 mRNA的寡核苷酸(包括反义 RNA和 DNA)以及 核酶也在本发明的范围之内。 核酶是一种能特异性分解特定 RNA的酶样 RNA分 子, 其作用机制是核酶分子与互补的靶 RNA 特异性杂交后进行核酸内切作用。 反义的 RNA和 DNA及核酶可用已有的任何 RNA或 DNA合成技术获得, 如固相磷 酸酰胺化学合成法合成寡核苷酸的技术已广泛应用。 反义 RNA 分子可通过编码 该 RNA的 D 序列在体外或体内转录获得。 这种 DNA序列已整合到载体的 RNA 聚合酶启动子的下游。 为了增加核酸分子的稳定性, 可用多种方法对其进行修 饰, 如增加两侧的序列长度, 核糖核苷之间的连接应用磷酸硫酯键或肽键而非 磷酸二酯键。 Oligonucleotides (including antisense RNA and DNA) and ribozymes that inhibit human nucleoprotein I precursor protein 25 mRNA are also within the scope of the present invention. A ribozyme is an enzyme-like RNA molecule that specifically decomposes specific RNA. Its mechanism of action is that the ribozyme molecule specifically hybridizes with a complementary target RNA for endonucleation. Antisense RNA, DNA, and ribozymes can be obtained using any existing RNA or DNA synthesis technology, such as solid-phase phosphoramidite chemical synthesis to synthesize oligonucleotides. Antisense RNA molecules can be obtained by in vitro or in vivo transcription of the D sequence encoding the RNA. This DNA sequence has been integrated downstream of the vector's RNA polymerase promoter. In order to increase the stability of the nucleic acid molecule, it can be modified in a variety of ways, such as increasing the sequence length on both sides, and the linkage between ribonucleosides using phosphate thioester or peptide bonds instead of phosphodiester bonds.
编码人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25的多核苷酸可用于与人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25 的相关疾病的诊断。 编码人核蛋白 Π 前体蛋白 25 的多核苷酸可用于检测人核 蛋白 Π前体蛋白 25的表达与否或在疾病状态下人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25的异 常表达。 如编码人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25的 DNA序列可用于对活检标本进行杂 交以判断人核蛋白 I I 前体蛋白 25 的表达状况。 杂交技术包括 Southern 印迹 法, Nor thern 印迹法、 原位杂交等。 这些技术方法都是公开的成熟技术, 相关 的试剂盒都可从商业途径得到。 本发明的多核苷酸的一部分或全部可作为探针 固定在微阵列(Microarray)或 D 芯片(又称为 "基因芯片" )上, 用于分析组 织中基因的差异表达分析和基因诊断。 用人核蛋白 I I 前体蛋白 25特异的引物 进行 RNA-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)体外扩增也可检测人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25的
转录产物。 The polynucleotide encoding human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25 can be used for the diagnosis of diseases related to human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25. The polynucleotide encoding human nucleoprotein Π precursor protein 25 can be used to detect the expression of human nucleoprotein Π precursor protein 25 or the abnormal expression of human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25 in a disease state. For example, the DNA sequence encoding human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25 can be used to hybridize biopsy specimens to determine the expression of human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25. Hybridization techniques include Southern blotting, Nor thern blotting, and in situ hybridization. These techniques and methods are publicly available and mature, and related kits are commercially available.

检测人核蛋白 Π 前体蛋白 25基因的突变也可用于诊断人核蛋白 I I 前体 蛋白 25 相关的疾病。 人核蛋白 I I 前体蛋白 25 突变的形式包括与正常野生型 人核蛋白 Π前体蛋白 25 DNA序列相比的点突变、 易位、 缺失、 重组和其它任 何异常等。 可用已有的技术如 Southern 印迹法、 D 序列分析、 PCR和原位杂 交检测突变。 另外, 突变有可能影响蛋白的表达, 因此用 Northern 印迹法、 Wes tern印迹法可间接判断基因有无突变。 Detection of mutations in the human nucleoprotein Π precursor protein 25 gene can also be used to diagnose human nucleoprotein I I precursor protein 25-related diseases. Human nucleoprotein I I precursor protein 25 mutations include point mutations, translocations, deletions, recombination, and any other abnormalities compared to the normal wild-type human nucleoprotein Π precursor protein 25 DNA sequence. Mutations can be detected using existing techniques such as Southern blotting, D-sequence analysis, PCR, and in situ hybridization. In addition, mutations may affect protein expression. Therefore, Northern blotting and Western blotting can be used to indirectly determine whether a gene is mutated.
本发明的序列对染色体鉴定也是有价值的。 该序列会特异性地针对某条 人染色体具体位置且并可以与其杂交。 目前, 需要鉴定染色体上的各基因的具 体位点。 现在, 只有很少的基于实际序列数据(重复多态性)的染色体标记物可 用于标记染色体位置。 根据本发明, 为了将这些序列与疾病相关基因相关联, 其重要的第一步就是将这些 DNA序列定位于染色体上。 The sequences of the invention are also valuable for chromosome identification. This sequence will specifically target a specific position on a human chromosome and can hybridize to it. Currently, the specific loci of each gene on the chromosome need to be identified. Currently, only a few chromosome markers based on actual sequence data (repeating polymorphisms) can be used to mark chromosome locations. According to the present invention, in order to associate these sequences with disease-related genes, an important first step is to locate these DNA sequences on a chromosome.
简而言之, 根据 cDNA制备 PCR引物(优选 15-35bp), 可以将序列定位于染 色体上。 然后, 将这些引物用于 PCR筛选含各条人染色体的体细胞杂合细胞。 只有那些含有相应于引物的人基因的杂合细胞会产生扩增的片段。 In short, a PCR primer (preferably 15-35bp) is prepared from the cDNA, and the sequence can be located on the chromosome. These primers were then used for PCR screening of somatic hybrid cells containing individual human chromosomes. Only those hybrid cells that contain the human gene corresponding to the primer will produce amplified fragments.
体细胞杂合细胞的 PCR定位法, 是将 D 定位到具体染色体的快捷方法。 使用本发明的寡核苷酸引物, 通过类似方法, 可利用一组来自特定染色体的片 段或大量基因组克隆而实现亚定位。 可用于染色体定位的其它类似策略包括原 位杂交、 用标记的流式分选的染色体预筛选和杂交预选, 从而构建染色体特异 的 cDNA库。 PCR localization of somatic hybrid cells is a quick way to locate D to a specific chromosome. Using the oligonucleotide primers of the present invention, by a similar method, a set of fragments from a specific chromosome or a large number of genomic clones can be used to achieve sublocalization. Other similar strategies that can be used for chromosomal localization include in situ hybridization, chromosome pre-screening with labeled flow sorting, and hybrid pre-selection to construct chromosome-specific cDNA libraries.
将 cDNA克隆与中期染色体进行荧光原位杂交(FISH) , 可以在一个步骤中 精确地进行染色体定位。 此技术的综述, 参见 Verma等, Human Chromosomes: a Manua l of Bas ic Techniques, Pergamon Pres s, New York (1988)。 Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of cDNA clones with metaphase chromosomes allows precise chromosomal localization in one step. For a review of this technique, see Verma et al., Human Chromosomes: a Manua l of Basic Techniques, Pergamon Pres s, New York (1988).
一旦序列被定位到准确的染色体位置, 此序列在染色体上的物理位置就 可以与基因图数据相关联。 这些数据可见于例如, V. Mckus ick, Mende l ian Inher i tance in Man (可通过与 Johns Hopkins Univers i ty Welch Medi ca l Library联机获得)。 然后可通过连锁分析, 确定基因与业已定位到染色体区域 上的疾病之间的关系。 Once the sequence is located at the exact chromosomal location, the physical location of the sequence on the chromosome can be correlated with the genetic map data. These data can be found in, for example, V. Mckusick, Mendelian Inherance in Man (available online with Johns Hopkins University Welch Medical Library). Linkage analysis can then be used to determine the relationship between genes and diseases that have been mapped to chromosomal regions.
接着, 需要测定患病和未患病个体间的 cDNA或基因组序列差异。 如果在
一些或所有的患病个体中观察到某突变, 而该突变在任何正常个体中未观察 到, 则该突变可能是疾病的病因。 比较患病和未患病个体, 通常涉及首先寻找 染色体中结构的变化, 如从染色体水平可见的或用基于 cDM序列的 PCR可检测 的缺失或易位。 根据目前的物理作图和基因定位技术的分辨能力, 被精确定位 至与疾病有关的染色体区域的 cDNA, 可以是 50至 500个潜在致病基因间之一种 (假定 1兆碱基作图分辨能力和每 20kb对应于一个基因)。 Next, the differences in cDNA or genomic sequences between the affected and unaffected individuals need to be determined. If in A mutation is observed in some or all diseased individuals, and the mutation is not observed in any normal individuals, then the mutation may be the cause of the disease. Comparing diseased and unaffected individuals usually involves first looking for structural changes in the chromosome, such as deletions or translocations that are visible at the chromosomal level or detectable with cDM sequence-based PCR. According to the resolution capabilities of current physical mapping and gene mapping technology, the cDNA accurately mapped to the chromosomal region associated with the disease can be one of 50 to 500 potentially pathogenic genes (assuming 1 megabase mapping resolution) Capacity and each 20kb corresponds to a gene).

Immunochemi s try, 1969; 6: 430 用 4mg上述血蓝蛋白多肽复 合物加上完全弗氏佐剂免疫家兔, 15天后再用血蓝蛋白多肽复合物加不完全弗氏 佐剂加强免疫一次。 采用经 15 g/ml牛血清白蛋白多肽复合物包被的滴定板做 ELISA测定兔血清中抗体的滴度。 用蛋白 A-Sepharose从抗体阳性的家兔血清中分 离总 IgG。 将多肽结合于溴化氰活化的 Sepharose4B柱上, 用亲和层析法从总 IgG中 分离抗多肽抗体。免疫沉淀法证明纯化的抗体可特异性地与人核蛋白 I I前体蛋白 25 结合。
The following peptides specific for human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25 were synthesized using a peptide synthesizer (product of PE): NH2-Met-Thr-Ala-Phe-Ser-Leu-Thr-Ala-Glu-Arg-Ser-Ser -Ser-Leu-Cys-C00H (SEQ ID NO: 7). Do not combine this peptide with hemocyanin and bovine serum albumin to form a complex. For the method, see: Avrameas, et al. Immunochemi s try, 1969; 6: 43 0 4 mg of the above hemocyanin polypeptide complex plus complete Freund's After 15 days, rabbits were immunized with the drug, and the hemocyanin polypeptide complex plus incomplete Freund's adjuvant was used to boost the immunity once. A titer plate coated with a 15 g / ml bovine serum albumin peptide complex was used as an ELISA to determine antibody titers in rabbit serum. Total IgG was isolated from antibody-positive rabbit serum using protein A-Sepharose. The peptide was bound to a cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose4B column, and anti-peptide antibodies were separated from the total IgG by affinity chromatography. The immunoprecipitation method proved that the purified antibody could specifically bind to human nucleoprotein II precursor protein 25.
