Specifically, the present invention describes a new polypeptide, a human RNA helicase 43, and a polynucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide. The invention also relates to a preparation method and application of the polynucleotide and the polypeptide. Background technique
RNA 的结构变化需要酶的催化, 其中, RM 解螺旋酶的作用是将 RNA 的螺 旋结构解开, 从而方便进一步的转录、 翻译、 剪接、 拼接等过程。 The structural change of RNA requires the catalysis of enzymes. Among them, the role of RM helicase is to unravel the spiral structure of RNA, thereby facilitating further processes such as transcription, translation, splicing, and splicing.
RNA 解螺旋酶是一种很重要的蛋白, 在很多生物体内都有发现, 比如, 果 蝇的 DBP80, 鼠的 mDEAD5, 酵母的 TIF1/2, 哺乳动物的 elF- 4A等等。 (Biochim Biophys Acta 1998 Apr 29; 1397 (2): 131-6 ) RNA helicase is an important protein found in many organisms, such as Drosophila DBP80, mouse mDEAD5, yeast TIF1 / 2, mammalian elF-4A, and so on. (Biochim Biophys Acta 1998 Apr 29; 1397 (2): 131-6)
在对 RNA解螺旋酶的结构研究中, 发现肝炎 C病毒 NS3基因编码一个 RNA 解螺旋酶, 它有很多结构域, 包括 ATP结合结构域 (GxGK), DExH结构域, RNA 结合结构域 (QRxGRxGR) 等等。 根据突变的实验结果, 精氨酸丰度较高的结构 域对 RM 结合有重要作用。 根据研究, 已经发现不同的结构域是结合在一起发 挥作用的, 它们之间相互影响, 因此, 无论是其中的那一个结构域发生变化都 会对 RNA解螺旋酶的活性产生影响。 (Virus Genes 1999; 19 (1): 33-43 ) In the structural research of RNA helicase, it was found that the hepatitis C virus NS3 gene encodes an RNA helicase, which has many domains, including ATP-binding domain (GxGK), DExH domain, and RNA-binding domain (QRxGRxGR) and many more. According to the experimental results of the mutation, the domain with higher arginine abundance plays an important role in RM binding. According to research, it has been found that different domains work together and interact with each other. Therefore, changes in either of these domains will affect the activity of RNA helicase. (Virus Genes 1999; 19 (1): 33-43)
在对 snRNA的拼接过程中, 需要 RNA解螺旋酶催化 RM进行反复的解旋过 程。 在人体组织中克隆到了一种 RNA解螺旋酶(DBP2 ), 有 3400个核苷酸, 1041 个氨基酸,通过 FISH定位,编码 DBP2的基因被定位于人染色体 6p21. 3。( Nucleic Acids Res 1998 May 1; 26 (9): 2063-8 ) In the splicing process of snRNA, RNA helicase is required to catalyze RM to perform the unwinding process repeatedly. An RNA helicase (DBP2) was cloned in human tissues, which has 3400 nucleotides and 1041 amino acids. By FISH mapping, the gene encoding DBP2 was mapped to human chromosome 6p21.3. (Nucleic Acids Res 1998 May 1; 26 (9): 2063-8)
Northern 杂交的结果表明, RNA 解螺旋酶在人体的几乎所有组织中均有表 达。 ( Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1997 Nov 17; 240 (2): 335-40 ) 最近的研 究发现, RNA 解螺旋酶的羧基末端有一个 110 个氨基酸的功能域, 这是一个双 向的核转运功能域, 这个功能域决定了 RNA 解螺旋酶在核中的定位, 同时 RNA 解螺旋酶也是谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶的分泌调节蛋白。 (Mol Cell Biol 1999 May; 19 (5): 3540-50 ) The results of Northern hybridization show that RNA helicase is expressed in almost all human tissues. (Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1997 Nov 17; 240 (2): 335-40) Recent research found that the carboxyl terminus of RNA helicase has a 110 amino acid domain, which is a two-way nuclear transport domain. This The functional domain determines the localization of RNA helicase in the nucleus. At the same time, RNA helicase is also a glutathione S-transferase secretion regulatory protein. (Mol Cell Biol 1999 May; 19 (5): 3540-50)
RNA 解螺旋酶与 3' 外切核酸酶有很重要的相互作用, 因此我们推测 RNA 解螺旋酶在基因的整个表达调控过程中是起着重要作用的。(Genes Dev 1999 Oct
1; 13 (19): 2594-603 ) RNA helicase has a very important interaction with 3 'exonuclease, so we speculate that RNA helicase plays an important role in the entire gene expression regulation process. (Genes Dev 1999 Oct 1; 13 (19): 2594-603)
在对鼠的胚胎发育的研究过程中, 尽管目前的研究还不能清楚的知道 RNA 解螺旋酶的具体作用, 但编码 RNA 解螺旋酶基因复杂的转录模式和广泛的时间 -空间表达都证明, 编码 RNA 解螺旋酶基因在很多组织的 RNA 代谢、 胚胎发育 中 的器官形成有密切关系 。 ( Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1999 Sep 7; 262 (3): 677-84 ) In the study of mouse embryonic development, although the specific role of RNA helicase cannot be clearly understood in the current research, the complex transcription pattern and extensive time-space expression of genes encoding RNA helicase have proved that RNA helicase genes are closely related to RNA metabolism in many tissues and organ formation during embryonic development. (Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1999 Sep 7; 262 (3): 677-84)
真核生物启始因子 (EIF ) 4A 是作为一种 RNA 解螺旋酶在解开 5' 未翻译 真核生物 mRM 的二级结构过程中起作用。 这一结果已被生物化学和生物动力 学所证明。 (J Biol Chem 1999 Apr 30; 274 (18): 12236-44 ) Eukaryotic Initiation Factor (EIF) 4A acts as an RNA helicase to unravel the secondary structure of 5 'untranslated eukaryotic mRM. This result has been proven by biochemistry and biodynamics. (J Biol Chem 1999 Apr 30; 274 (18): 12236-44)
在反向病毒的复制过程中, 必须将 mRNA 释放到细胞质中翻译和包装, 这 一过程由顺式作用因子 (CTE ) 等调控, 经研究发现, RM 解螺旋酶是一种 CTE 的辅助因子, RNA 解螺旋酶表达量的高低可以影响 CTE 相关基因的表达和 HIV 的 mRNA表达量。 ( Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1999 Jan 19; 96 (2): 709-14 ) 有研究表明, RNA解螺旋酶与依赖于 cAMP刺激的很多基因的转录调控有关, RNA解螺旋酶对第二信使 cAMP的作用决定了 RNA解螺旋酶在信号传导途径中有 一定作用。 在早期的胚胎发育、 外胚层分化过程中, RNA 解螺旋酶均有重要作 用。 (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1998 Nov 10; 95 (23): 13709-13 ) During the replication of the retrovirus, mRNA must be released into the cytoplasm for translation and packaging. This process is regulated by cis-acting factor (CTE) and other factors. Studies have found that RM helicase is a cofactor for CTE. The level of RNA helicase expression can affect the expression of CTE-related genes and the mRNA expression of HIV. (Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 1999 Jan 19; 96 (2): 709-14) Studies have shown that RNA helicase is involved in the transcriptional regulation of many genes that depend on cAMP stimulation, and RNA helicase is responsible for the second messenger The role of cAMP determines that RNA helicase has a role in the signal transduction pathway. RNA helicases play an important role in early embryonic development and ectodermal differentiation. (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1998 Nov 10; 95 (23): 13709-13)
通过 FISH 方法获得的 RNA解螺旋酶染色体定位的结果证明, 编码 RNA 解 螺旋酶的基因与很多恶性疾病、 遗传性疾病和自身免疫疾病的基因相关。 ( Nucleic Acids Res 1998 May 1; 26 (9): 2063-8 ) The results of chromosomal localization of RNA helicase obtained by FISH method prove that genes encoding RNA helicase are related to genes of many malignant diseases, hereditary diseases and autoimmune diseases. (Nucleic Acids Res 1998 May 1; 26 (9): 2063-8)

"Partial homology" refers to a partially complementary sequence that at least partially inhibits hybridization of a fully complementary sequence to a target nucleic acid. This inhibition of hybridization can be detected by performing hybridization (Southern imprinting or Nor thern blotting, etc.) under conditions of reduced stringency. Substantially homologous sequences or hybridization probes can compete and inhibit the binding of fully homologous sequences to the target sequence under conditions of reduced stringency. This does not mean that conditions with reduced stringency allow non-specific binding, because conditions with reduced stringency require that the two sequences bind to each other as either specific or selective interactions.
"相同性百分率" 是指在两种或多种氨基酸或核酸序列比较中序列相同或 相似的百分率。 可用电子方法测定相同性百分率, 如通过 MEGALI GN程序 ( La ser gene s of tware package, DNASTAR, Inc. , Mad i son W i s. ) 。 MEGALI GN 程序可根据不同的方法如 C lus ter法比较两种或多种序列(H i gg ins , D. G. 和 P. M. Sharp (1988) Gene 73: 237-244) . C l us t er法通过检查所有配对之间的 距离将各组序列排列成簇。 然后将各簇以成对或成组分配。 两个氨基酸序列如 序列 A和序列 B之间的相同性百分率通过下式计算: 序列 A与序列 B之间匹配的残基个数 "Percent identity" refers to the percentage of sequences that are the same or similar in a comparison of two or more amino acid or nucleic acid sequences. The percent identity can be determined electronically, such as by the MEGALI GN program (La ser genes s of tware package, DNASTAR, Inc., Mad Son Wis s.). The MEGALI GN program can compare two or more sequences (Higgins, DG and PM Sharp (1988) Gene 73: 237-244) according to different methods such as the Cluster method. The Cluster method checks all The distance between the pairs arranges the groups of sequences into clusters. The clusters are then assigned in pairs or groups. The percent identity between two amino acid sequences such as sequence A and sequence B is calculated by the following formula: The number of matching residues between sequence A and sequence B
X 100 序列 A的残基数一序列 A中间隔残基数一序列 B中间隔残基数
也可以通过 C l us ter法或用本领域周知的方法如 Jotun He i n 测定核酸序列 之间的相同性百分率(He in J., (1990) Me thods i n emzumo l ogy 183: 625-645)。 X 100 Number of residues in sequence A-number of spacer residues in sequence A-number of spacer residues in sequence B The percent identity between nucleic acid sequences can also be determined by the Cluster method or by methods known in the art such as Jotun He in (He in J., (1990) Me thods in emzumo l ogy 183: 625-645).
"相似性" 是指氨基酸序列之间排列对比时相应位置氨基酸残基的相同或 保守性取代的程度。 用于保守性取代的氨基酸例如, 带负电荷的氨基酸可包括 天冬氨酸和谷氨酸; 带正电荷的氨基酸可包括赖氨酸和精氨酸; 具有不带电荷 的头部基团有相似亲水性的氨基酸可包括亮氨酸、 异亮氨酸和缬氨酸; 甘氨酸 和丙氨酸; 天冬酰胺和谷氨酰胺; 丝氨酸和苏氨酸; 苯丙氨酸和酪氨酸。 "Similarity" refers to the degree of identical or conservative substitutions of amino acid residues at corresponding positions in the alignment of amino acid sequences. Amino acids used for conservative substitutions, for example, negatively charged amino acids may include aspartic acid and glutamic acid; positively charged amino acids may include lysine and arginine; having an uncharged head group is Similar hydrophilic amino acids may include leucine, isoleucine and valine; glycine and alanine; asparagine and glutamine; serine and threonine; phenylalanine and tyrosine.
"反义" 是指与特定的 DNA或 RNA序列互补的核苷酸序列。 "反义链" 是指 与 "有义链" 互补的核酸链。 "Antisense" refers to a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a particular DNA or RNA sequence. "Antisense strand" refers to a nucleic acid strand that is complementary to a "sense strand."
"衍生物" 是指 HFP或编码其的核酸的化学修饰物。 这种化学修饰物可以是 用烷基、 酰基或氨基替换氢原子。 核酸衍生物可编码保留天然分子的主要生物 学特性的多肽。 "Derivative" refers to a chemical modification of HFP or a nucleic acid encoding it. This chemical modification may be the replacement of a hydrogen atom with an alkyl, acyl or amino group. Nucleic acid derivatives can encode polypeptides that retain the main biological properties of natural molecules.
"抗体" 是指完整的抗体分子及其片段, 如 Fa、 F (ab') 2及FV, 其能特异 性结合人 RNA解螺旋酶 43的抗原决定簇。 "Antibody" refers to a complete antibody molecule and its fragments, such as Fa, F (ab ') 2 and F V , which can specifically bind to the epitope of human RNA helicase 43.
"人源化抗体" 是指非抗原结合区域的氨基酸序列被替换变得与人抗体更 为相似, 但仍保留原始结合活性的抗体。 A "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody in which the amino acid sequence of a non-antigen binding region is replaced to become more similar to a human antibody, but still retains the original binding activity.
"分离的" 一词指将物质从它原来的环境 (例如, 若是自然产生的就指其 天然环境) 之中移出。 比如说, 一个自然产生的多核苷酸或多肽存在于活动物 中就是没有被分离出来, 但同样的多核苷酸或多肽同一些或全部在自然系统中 与之共存的物质分开就是分离的。 这样的多核苷酸可能是某一载体的一部分, 也可能这样的多核苷酸或多肽是某一组合物的一部分。 既然载体或组合物不是 它天然环境的成分, 它们仍然是分离的。 如本发明所用, "分离的" 是指物质从其原始环境中分离出来 (如果是天 然的物质, 原始环境即是天然环境) 。 如活体细胞内的天然状态下的多聚核苷 酸和多肽是没有分离纯化的, 但同样的多聚核苷酸或多肽如从天然状态中同存 在的其他物质中分开, 则为分离纯化的。 The term "isolated" refers to the removal of a substance from its original environment (for example, its natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally-occurring polynucleotide or polypeptide is not isolated when it is present in a living thing, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide is separated from some or all of the substances that coexist with it in the natural system. Such a polynucleotide may be part of a certain vector, or such a polynucleotide or polypeptide may be part of a certain composition. Since the carrier or composition is not part of its natural environment, they are still isolated. As used herein, "isolated" refers to the separation of a substance from its original environment (if it is a natural substance, the original environment is the natural environment).

Example 7: Use of a polynucleotide fragment of the present invention as a hybridization probe
从本发明的多核苷酸中挑选出合适的寡核苷酸片段用作杂交探针有多方面的 用途, 如用该探针可与不同来源的正常组织或病理组织的基因组或 cDNA文库杂交
以鉴定其是否含有本发明的多核苷酸序列和检出同源的多核苷酸序列,进一步还可 用该探针检测本发明的多核苷酸序列或其同源的多核苷酸序列在正常组织或病理 组织细胞中的表达是否异常。 Selecting suitable oligonucleotide fragments from the polynucleotides of the present invention has various uses as hybridization probes, such as using the probes to hybridize to genomic or cDNA libraries of normal tissues or pathological tissues from different sources. In order to identify whether it contains a polynucleotide sequence of the present invention and detect a homologous polynucleotide sequence, the probe may further be used to detect the polynucleotide sequence of the present invention or a homologous polynucleotide sequence thereof in normal tissue or Whether the expression in pathological tissue cells is abnormal.
本实施例的目的是从本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1 中挑选出合适的寡核苷 酸片段用作杂交探针, 并用滤膜杂交方法鉴定一些组织中是否含有本发明的多核 苷酸序列或其同源的多核苷酸序列。 滤膜杂交方法包括斑点印迹法、 Southern 印 迹法、 Nor thern 印迹法和复印方法等, 它们都是将待测的多核苷酸样品固定在滤 膜上后使用基本相同的步骤杂交。 这些相同的步骤是: 固定了样品的滤膜首先用 不含探针的杂交缓冲液进行预杂交, 以使滤膜上样品的非特异性的结合部位被载 体和合成的多聚物所饱和。 然后预杂交液被含有标记探针的杂交缓冲液替换, 并 保温使探针与靶核酸杂交。 杂交步骤之后, 来杂交上的探针被一系列洗膜歩骤除 掉。 本实施例利用较高强度的洗膜条件 (如较低盐浓度和较高的温度), 以使杂交 背景降低且只保留特异性强的信号。 本实施例选用的探针包括两类: 第一类探针 是完全与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段; 第二类探 针是部分与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段。 本实施 例选用斑点印迹法将样品固定在滤膜上, 在较高强度的的洗膜条件下, 第一类探 针与样品的杂交特异性最强而得以保留。 The purpose of this embodiment is to select a suitable oligonucleotide fragment from the polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 of the present invention as a hybridization probe, and to identify whether some tissues contain the polynucleoside of the present invention by a filter hybridization method. Acid sequence or a homologous polynucleotide sequence thereof. Filter hybridization methods include dot blotting, Southern imprinting, Nor thern blotting, and copying methods. They all use the same steps to fix the polynucleotide sample to be tested on the filter and then hybridize. These same steps are as follows: The sample-immobilized filter is first pre-hybridized with a probe-free hybridization buffer to saturate the non-specific binding site of the sample on the filter with the carrier and the synthesized polymer. The pre-hybridization solution is then replaced with a hybridization buffer containing labeled probes and incubated to hybridize the probes to the target nucleic acid. After the hybridization step, the probes from the hybridization are removed by a series of membrane washing steps. This embodiment uses higher-intensity washing conditions (such as lower salt concentration and higher temperature) to reduce the hybridization background and retain only strong specific signals. The probes used in this embodiment include two types: the first type of probes are oligonucleotide fragments that are completely the same as or complementary to the polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 of the present invention; the second type of probes are partially related to the present invention The polynucleotide SEQ ID NO: 1 is the same or complementary oligonucleotide fragment. In this example, the dot blot method is used to fix the sample on the filter membrane. Under the high-intensity washing conditions, the first type of probe and the sample have the strongest hybridization specificity and are retained.

2 , GC含量为 30%- 70%, 超过则非特异性杂交增加; 2, GC content is 30% -70%, non-specific hybridization increases when it exceeds;
3 , 探针内部应无互补区域; 3, there should be no complementary regions inside the probe;
4, 符合以上条件的可作为初选探针, 然后进一步作计算机序列分析, 包括将该 初选探针分别与其来源序列区域 (即 SEQ ID NO: 1 ) 和其它已知的基因组序 列及其互补区进行同源性比较, 若与非靶分子区域的同源性大于 85%或者有超 过 15个连续碱基完全相同, 则该初选探针一般就不应该使用; 4. Those that meet the above conditions can be used as primary selection probes, and then further computer sequence analysis, including the primary selection probe and its source sequence region (ie, SEQ ID NO: 1) and other known genomic sequences and their complements The regions are compared for homology. If the homology with the non-target molecular region is greater than 85% or there are more than 15 consecutive bases, the primary probe should not be used;
5, 初选探针是否最终选定为有实际应用价值的探针还应进一步由实验确定。 5. Whether the preliminary selection probe is finally selected as a probe with practical application value should be further determined by experiments.

Recombinant gene therapy vectors (such as viral vectors) can be designed to express mutated human RM helicase 43 to inhibit endogenous human RNA helicase 43 activity. For example, a mutated human RNA helicase 43 may be a shortened human RNA helicase 43 lacking a signaling functional domain, and although it can bind to a downstream substrate, it lacks signaling activity. Therefore, the recombinant gene therapy vector can be used for treating diseases caused by abnormal expression or activity of RM helicase 43 in humans. Virus-derived expression vectors such as retrovirus, adenovirus, adenovirus-associated virus, herpes simplex virus, parvovirus and the like can be used to transfer a polynucleotide encoding human RNA helicase 43 into a cell. Methods for constructing recombinant viral vectors carrying a polynucleotide encoding human RNA helicase 43 can be found in the existing literature (Sambrook, et al.). In addition, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding human RNA helicase 43 can be packaged into liposomes and transferred into cells.
多核苷酸导入组织或细胞内的方法包括: 将多核苷酸直接注入到体内组织 中; 或在体外通过载体(如病毒、 噬菌体或质粒等)先将多核苷酸导入细胞中, 再将细胞移植到体内等。 Methods for introducing a polynucleotide into a tissue or cell include: directly injecting the polynucleotide into a tissue in vivo; or introducing the polynucleotide into a cell in vitro through a vector (such as a virus, phage, or plasmid), and then transplanting the cell Into the body and so on.
抑制人 RNA解螺旋酶 43 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 DM及核酶可用已有的任何 RNA或 DM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 RM分子可通过编码该 RNA 的 DNA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 RNA helicase 43 mRNA are also within the scope of the present invention. A ribozyme is an enzyme-like RNA molecule that can specifically decompose specific RNA. Its mechanism of action is that the ribozyme molecule specifically hybridizes with a complementary target RNA for endonucleation. Antisense RNA, DM, and ribozymes can be obtained by any existing RNA or DM synthesis technology, such as the technology of solid phase phosphate amide synthesis of oligonucleotides has been widely used. Antisense RM molecules can be obtained by in vitro or in vivo transcription of a DNA sequence encoding the RNA. RNA polymerase Promoter downstream. In order to increase the stability of a nucleic acid molecule, it can be modified in a variety of ways, such as increasing the sequence length on both sides, and the ribonucleoside linkages should use phosphate thioester or peptide bonds instead of phosphodiester bonds.
编码人 RM解螺旋酶 43 的多核苷酸可用于与人 MA解螺旋酶 4 3的相关疾 病的诊断。 编码人 RNA解螺旋酶 43 的多核苷酸可用于检测人 RNA解螺旋酶 43 的表达与否或在疾病状态下人 RNA解螺旋酶 4 3的异常表达。 如编码人 RNA解螺 旋酶 43 的 DNA序列可用于对活检标本进行杂交以判断人 RM解螺旋酶 4 3 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(M i croa rray)或 DNA 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 RNA 解螺旋酶 4 3 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 RNA解螺旋酶 43的转录产物。 The polynucleotide encoding human RM helicase 43 can be used for the diagnosis of diseases related to human MA helicase 43. The polynucleotide encoding human RNA helicase 43 can be used to detect the expression of human RNA helicase 43 or the abnormal expression of human RNA helicase 43 in a disease state. For example, the DNA sequence encoding human RNA helicase 43 can be used to hybridize biopsy specimens to determine the expression of human RM helicase 4 3. 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. Part or all of the polynucleotides of the present invention can be used as probes to be fixed on a microarray (Microcroix) or a DNA chip (also known as a "gene chip"), and used to analyze differential expression analysis of genes and genes in tissues. diagnosis. Human RNA helicase 43 specific primers can be used for RNA-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in vitro amplification to detect human RNA helicase 43 transcription products.
检测人 RNA解螺旋酶 43基因的突变也可用于诊断人 RNA解螺旋酶 4 3相关 的疾病。人 RNA解螺旋酶 43突变的形式包括与正常野生型人 RNA解螺旋酶 43 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、 DNA 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 Nor t hern 印迹法、 Wes t ern 印迹法可间接判断基因 有无突变。 Detection of mutations in the human RNA helicase 43 gene can also be used to diagnose human RNA helicase 43 related diseases. The forms of human RNA helicase 43 mutations include point mutations, translocations, deletions, recombinations, and any other abnormalities compared to normal wild-type human RNA helicase 43 DNA sequences. Mutations can be detected using existing techniques such as Southern blotting, DNA sequence analysis, PCR and in situ hybridization. In addition, mutations may affect protein expression. Therefore, the Nort Hern 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 DM序列定位于染色体上。 The sequences of the invention are also valuable for chromosome identification. The sequence specifically targets a specific position on a human chromosome and can hybridize to it. Currently, specific sites for each gene on the chromosome need to be identified. Currently, only a few chromosome markers based on actual sequence data (repeating polymorphisms) are available for marking chromosome positions. According to the present invention, in order to associate these sequences with disease-related genes, an important first step is to locate these DM sequences on a chromosome.
简而言之, 根据 cDNA制备 PCR引物(优选 15- 35 bp) , 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, PCR primers (preferably 15-35 bp) are prepared based on cDNA, and the sequences can be located on chromosomes. These primers were then used for PCR screening of somatic hybrid cells containing individual human chromosomes. Only those heterozygous cells containing 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 DM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。
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 Manual of Basic Techniques, Pergamon Press, New York (1988)。 PCR localization of somatic hybrid cells is a quick way to localize DM to specific chromosomes. 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. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of cDNA clones to metaphase chromosomes allows precise chromosomal localization in one step. For a review of this technique, see Verma et al., Human Chromosomes: a Manual of Basic Techniques, Pergamon Press, 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.Mckusick, Mendel ian Inheritance in Man (可通过与 Johns Hopkins University Welch Medical 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, Mendel ian Inheritance 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 cDNA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 difference in cDNA or genomic sequence between the affected and unaffected individuals needs to be determined. If a mutation is observed in some or all diseased individuals and the mutation is not observed in any normal individuals, the mutation may be the cause of the disease. Comparing affected and unaffected individuals usually involves first looking for structural changes in chromosomes, such as deletions or translocations that are visible at the chromosomal level or detectable with cDNA 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).
