在哺乳动物中存在三种磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶的同功酶, 而在酵母中至少存 在四种磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶的同功酶。 这些酶在生物体内的构型不同, 但具有 相似的功能特征。  There are three isozymes of phosphoribose pyrophosphate synthase in mammals, while at least four isozymes of phosphoribose pyrophosphate synthase exist in yeast. These enzymes have different configurations in the body, but have similar functional characteristics.
对大肠杆菌、 大鼠等的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶进行分析发现, 这些蛋白序列 的 N末端均含有一有 16个氨基酸残基组成的高度保守的一致性序列片段, 该保守 的序列片段如下所示:  Analysis of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase from E. coli and rats found that the N-terminus of these protein sequences contained a highly conserved consensus sequence fragment of 16 amino acid residues. The conserved sequence fragment is as follows Show:
D- [LI] -H- [SA] -X-Q- [IMST] - [QM] -G- [FY] -F-X ( 2 ) -P- [LIVMFC] -D;  D- [LI] -H- [SA] -X-Q- [IMST]-[QM] -G- [FY] -F-X (2) -P- [LIVMFC] -D;
该序列片段涉及酶与二价阳离子的结合, 其中含有两个保守的天冬酰胺残基 及一个组氨酸残基, 这三个保守的氨基酸残基与二价阳离子形成配位键以结合在 一起, 共同调控蛋白的表达, 这些二价阳离子包括: 镁离子等。 因而, 该序列片 段是酶形成正常活性构象, 发挥催化活性作用的中心区域。 通常酶与镁离子结合 将形成活化的催化活性中心以促进磷酸核糖焦磷酸的合成; 若该保守序列与钙离 子结合将抑制酶的催化活性, 即抑制蛋白合成过程。 生物正是以这种方式来调控 磷酸核糖焦磷酸在体内的合成速度及含量, 以调控与之相关的一系列生物合成过 程。 该区域的突变将导致酶的表达异常或失活, 从而影响一系列与之相关的生物 合成过程 [Bower S. G. , Har iow K. W. et a l. , 1989, J Bio l Chem, 264: 10287-10291 ]。  This sequence fragment involves the binding of an enzyme to a divalent cation, which contains two conserved asparagine residues and a histidine residue. These three conserved amino acid residues form a coordination bond with the divalent cation to bind to Together, they jointly regulate protein expression. These divalent cations include: magnesium ions and the like. Therefore, this sequence fragment is the central region where the enzyme forms a normal active conformation and exerts catalytic activity. Usually, the combination of enzyme and magnesium ion will form an activated catalytic active center to promote the synthesis of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate; if the conserved sequence is combined with calcium ion, it will inhibit the enzyme's catalytic activity, that is, the protein synthesis process. It is in this way that organisms regulate the synthesis rate and content of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate in the body to regulate a series of biosynthetic processes related to it. Mutations in this region will lead to abnormal or inactive enzyme expression, which will affect a series of related biosynthetic processes [Bower SG, Har iow KW et a l., 1989, J Bio l Chem, 264: 10287-10291] .
由上可知, 磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶在生物体内主要通过催化磷酸核糖焦磷酸 的合成, 来调节各种与之相关的生物合成过程。 其表达异常将导致磷酸核糖焦磷 酸的合成异常, 使其表达过量或无法正常的合成, 这均会影响生物体内与之相关 的一系列生物代谢过程, 从而引起各种相关的疾病。 该酶在体内的表达异常通常 与一些氨基酸代谢紊乱症、 核酸代谢紊乱症及与之相关的物质代谢紊乱症的发生 相关。 From the above, it can be known that the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase mainly catalyzes the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate in vivo. To regulate various biosynthetic processes associated with it. Abnormal expression will lead to abnormal synthesis of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate, which will cause excessive expression or abnormal synthesis, which will affect a series of biological metabolic processes related to the organism and cause various related diseases. The abnormal expression of the enzyme in the body is usually associated with the occurrence of some amino acid metabolic disorders, nucleic acid metabolic disorders and related material metabolic disorders.

Synthetase 11 protein, especially the amino acid sequence of this protein is identified. The isolation of the new phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 protein-coding gene also provides the basis for research to determine the role of the protein in health and disease states. This protein may form the basis for the development of diagnostic and / or therapeutic drugs for diseases, so isolating its coding DNA is important.

The purity of the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 polypeptide can be analyzed by amino acid sequence.
"互补的" 或 "互补" 是指在允许的盐浓度和温度条件下通过碱基配对的多 核苷酸天然结合。 例如, 序列 "C- T- G- A" 可与互补的序列 "G- A- C-T" 结合。 两 个单链分子之间的互补可以是部分的或全部的。 核酸链之间的互补程度对于核酸 链之间杂交的效率及强度有明显影响。  "Complementary" or "complementary" refers to the natural binding of polynucleotides by base-pairing under conditions of acceptable salt concentration and temperature. For example, the sequence "C-T-G-A" can be combined with the complementary sequence "G-A-C-T". The complementarity between two single-stranded molecules can be partial or complete.

"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 or Northern blotting, etc.) under conditions of reduced stringency. Substantially homologous sequences or hybridization probes can compete and inhibit the binding of completely homologous sequences to the target sequence under conditions of reduced stringency. This does not mean that the conditions of reduced stringency allow non-specific binding, because the conditions of reduced stringency require that the two sequences bind to each other as a specific or selective interaction.
"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 MEGALIGN程序 (Lasergene sof tware package, DNASTAR, Inc. , Madi son Wi s. )。 MEGALIGN程序可根据不同的 方法如 Clus ter法比较两种或多种序列(Higgins, D. G. 和 P. M. Sharp (1988) "Percent identity" refers to the percentage of sequences that are the same or similar in the comparison of two or more amino acid or nucleic acid sequences. The percent identity can be determined electronically, such as by the MEGALIGN program (Lasergene sof tware package, DNASTAR, Inc., Madi son Wis.). The MEGALIGN program can compare two or more sequences according to different methods such as the Clus ter method (Higgins, D. G. and P. M. Sharp (1988)
Gene 73: 237-244)。 Clus ter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: Gene 73: 237-244). The Clus ter method arranges groups of sequences into clusters by checking the distance between all pairs. 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:
序列 与序列 ^之间匹配的残基个数 χMatch between the sequences and the sequence number of residues χ ^ blue
序列 ^的残基数 -序列 ^中间隔残基数 -序列 中间隔残基数 X Number of residues in sequence ^-number of interval residues in sequence ^-number of interval residues in sequence X
也可以通过 Clus ter法或用本领域周知的方法如 Jotun Hein 测定核酸序列之 间的相同性百分率(Hein J. , (1990) Methods in enzymology 183: 625—645)。  The percent identity between nucleic acid sequences can also be determined by the Clus ter method or by methods known in the art such as Jotun Hein (Hein J., (1990) Methods in enzymology 183: 625-645).

Amino acids used for conservative substitution, 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。 "衍生物" 是指 HFP或编码其核酸的化学修饰物。 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。 "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 the "sense strand". "Derivative" refers to HFP or a chemical modification of its nucleic acid. 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、 ?(^') 2及? , 其能特异性 结合磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11的抗原决定簇。 "Antibody" refers to a complete antibody molecule and its fragments, such as Fa,? (^ ') 2 and?, Which specifically bind to the epitope of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11.
"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。  The term "isolated" refers to the removal of matter 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 animal, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide is separated from some or all of the substances that coexist in the natural system. Such a polynucleotide may be part of a vector, or such a polynucleotide or polypeptide may be part of a composition. Since the carrier or composition is not part of its natural environment, they are still isolated.
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。  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). For example, polynucleotides and polypeptides in a natural state in a living cell are not isolated and purified, but the same polynucleotides or polypeptides are separated and purified if they are separated from other substances existing in the natural state. .
如本文所用, "分离的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 " 是指磷酸核糖焦磷 酸合成酶蛋白 11 基本上不含天然与其相关的其它蛋白、 脂类、 糖类或其它物 质。 本领域的技术人员能用标准的蛋白质纯化技术纯化磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶 蛋白 11。 基本上纯的多肽在非还原聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上能产生单一的主带。 磷酸 核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11多肽的纯度能用氨基酸序列分析。  As used herein, "isolated phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11" means that the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 is substantially free of other proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, or other substances with which it is naturally associated. Those skilled in the art can purify the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 using standard protein purification techniques. Substantially pure polypeptides can produce a single main band on a non-reducing polyacrylamide gel.

The existing technology for producing single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat No. 4946778) can also be used to produce single chain antibodies against phosphoribose pyrophosphate synthase protein 11.
抗磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的抗体可用于免疫组织化学技术中, 检 测活检标本中的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11。  Antibodies against phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 can be used in immunohistochemical techniques to detect phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 in biopsy specimens.

This radiolabeled antibody can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic method to locate tumor cells and determine whether there is metastasis.
抗体还可用于设计针对体内某一特殊部位的免疫毒素。 如磷酸核糖焦磷酸 合成酶蛋白 11 高亲和性的单克隆抗体可与细菌或植物毒素(如白喉毒素, 蓖麻 蛋白, 红豆碱等)共价结合。 一种通常的方法是用巯基交联剂如 SPDP , 攻击抗 体的氨基, 通过二硫键的交换, 将毒素结合于抗体上, 这种杂交抗体可用于杀 灭磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11阳性的细胞。 Antibodies can also be used to design immunotoxins that target a particular part of the body. For example, high-affinity monoclonal antibodies such as phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 can covalently bind to bacterial or plant toxins (such as diphtheria toxin, ricin, ormosine, etc.). A common method is to attack the amino group of an antibody with a thiol cross-linking agent such as SPDP and bind the toxin to the antibody through the exchange of disulfide bonds. This hybrid antibody can be used to kill Inactivate phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11-positive cells.
本发明中的抗体可用于治疗或预防与磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 相关 的疾病。 给予适当剂量的抗体可以刺激或阻断磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的产生或活性。  The antibodies of the present invention can be used to treat or prevent diseases related to the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 1 1. Administration of an appropriate dose of antibody can stimulate or block the production or activity of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11.
本发明还涉及定量和定位检测磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 水平的诊断 试验方法。 这些试验是本领域所熟知的, 且包括 FI SH 测定和放射免疫测定。 试验中所检测的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 水平, 可以用作解释磷酸核糖 焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 在各种疾病中的重要性和用于诊断磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成 酶蛋白 11起作用的疾病。  The invention also relates to a diagnostic test method for quantitative and localized detection of the level of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. These tests are well known in the art and include FI SH assays and radioimmunoassays.

本发明的多肽还可用作肽谱分析, 例如, 多肽可用物理的、 化学或酶进行 特异性切割, 并进行一维或二维或三维的凝胶电泳分析,更好的是进行质谱分 析。  The polypeptide of the present invention can also be used for peptide mapping analysis. For example, the polypeptide can be specifically cleaved by physical, chemical or enzymatic analysis, and subjected to one-dimensional or two-dimensional or three-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis, and more preferably mass spectrometry analysis.
编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 的多核苷酸也可用于多种治疗目的。 基因治疗技术可用于治疗由于磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的无表达或异常 / 无活性表达所致的细胞增殖、 发育或代谢异常。 重组的基因治疗载体(如病毒 载体)可设计用于表达变异的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11, 以抑制内源性的 磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 活性。 例如, 一种变异的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成 酶蛋白 11 可以是缩短的、 缺失了信号传导功能域的磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋 白 11, 虽可与下游的底物结合, 但缺乏信号传导活性。 因此重组的基因治疗载 体可用于治疗磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 表达或活性异常所致的疾病。 来 源于病毒的表达载体如逆转录病毒、 腺病毒、 腺病毒相关病毒、 单纯疱疹病毒、 细小病毒等可用于将编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的多核苷酸转移至细 胞内。 构建携带编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的多核苷酸的重组病毒载 体的方法可见于已有文献(Sambrook,e t a l. )。 另外重组编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸 合成酶蛋白 1 1的多核苷酸可包装到脂质体中转移至细胞内。  The polynucleotide encoding the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 1 1 can also be used for a variety of therapeutic purposes. Gene therapy technology can be used to treat abnormal cell proliferation, development or metabolism caused by the non-expression or abnormal / inactive expression of phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. Recombinant gene therapy vectors (such as viral vectors) can be designed to express mutated phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 to inhibit endogenous phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 1 1 activity. For example, a mutated phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 may be a shortened phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 lacking a signaling domain. Although it can bind to downstream substrates, it lacks signaling activity. Therefore, recombinant gene therapy vectors can be used to treat diseases caused by abnormal expression or activity of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. Expression vectors derived from viruses such as retrovirus, adenovirus, adenovirus-associated virus, herpes simplex virus, parvovirus, etc. can be used to transfer a polynucleotide encoding a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 into a cell. Methods for constructing recombinant viral vectors carrying a polynucleotide encoding a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 can be found in existing literature (Sambrook, et al.). In addition, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 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.
抑制磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 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 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 RM 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 the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 1 1 mRNA are also within the scope of the present invention. A ribozyme is an enzyme-like RNA molecule that can specifically decompose a specific RNA. Its mechanism of action is that the ribozyme molecule specifically hybridizes with a complementary target RNA for endonucleation. Antisense RNA and DNA and ribozymes can be obtained using any existing RNA or DNA synthesis technology, such as solid phase phosphorus The technology of synthesizing oligonucleotides by acid amide chemical synthesis has been widely used. Antisense RNA molecules can be obtained by in vitro or in vivo transcription of a DNA sequence encoding the RNA. This DNA sequence has been integrated downstream of the RM polymerase promoter of the vector. 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.
编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的多核苷酸可用于与磷酸核糖焦磷酸 合成酶蛋白 11 的相关疾病的诊断。 编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 1 1 的多核 苷酸可用于检测磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的表达与否或在疾病状态下磷 酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11的异常表达。如编码磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的 DNA 序列可用于对活检标本进行杂交以判断磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 的表达状况。 杂交技术包括 Southern印迹法 k 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(Mi croarray)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。 用磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 特异的引物进行 RM-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR) 体外扩增也可检测磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11的转录产物。 Polynucleotides encoding phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 can be used to diagnose diseases related to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. The polynucleotide encoding the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 1 1 can be used to detect the expression of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 or the abnormal expression of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 in a disease state. For example, the DNA sequence encoding the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 can be used to hybridize biopsy specimens to determine the expression status of the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. Hybridization include Southern blotting k Nor thern blotting, in situ hybridization. These techniques and methods are publicly available and mature, and related kits are commercially available. A part or all of the polynucleotides of the present invention can be used as probes to be fixed on a micro array or a DNA chip (also called a "gene chip") for analyzing differential expression analysis and gene diagnosis of genes in tissues. Phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 specific primers can be used to perform RM-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in vitro amplification to detect transcription products of phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthase protein 11.
检测磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 基因的突变也可用于诊断磷酸核糖焦 磷酸合成酶蛋白 11相关的疾病。 磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 突变的形式包 括与正常野生型磷酸核糖焦磷酸合成酶蛋白 11 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、 DM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 thern印迹法、 Wes tern印迹法可间接判断基因有无突变。  Detection of mutations in the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 gene can also be used to diagnose diseases related to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11. Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 mutations include point mutations, translocations, deletions, recombinations, and any other abnormalities compared to the normal wild-type phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase protein 11 DNA sequence. Mutations can be detected using existing techniques such as Southern blotting, DM sequence analysis, PCR and in situ hybridization. In addition, mutations may affect protein expression. Therefore, Nor thern 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 染色体具体位置并且可以与其杂交。 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. This sequence will specifically target 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- 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, PCR primers (preferably 15-35bp) 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 DNA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 localize DNA to specific chromosomes. Using the oligonucleotide primers of the present invention, by a similar method, a set of fragments from a specific chromosome can be utilized Or a large number of genomic clones 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 Manu 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 V. Mckus ick, Mendel ian Inher i tance in Man (可通过与 Johns Hopkins Univers i ty Welch Medica 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 V. Mckusick, Mendel ian Inherance in Man (available online with Johns Hopkins University Wetch 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).
可以将本发明的多肽、 多核苷酸及其模拟物、 激动剂、 拮抗剂和抑制剂与 合适的药物载体组合后使用。 这些载体可以是水、 葡萄糖、 乙醇、 盐类、 缓冲 液、 甘油以及它们的组合。 组合物包含安全有效量的多肽或拮抗剂以及不影响 药物效果的载体和赋形剂。 这些组合物可以作为药物用于疾病治疗。  The polypeptides, polynucleotides and mimetics, agonists, antagonists and inhibitors of the present invention can be used in combination with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier.

Acid sequence or a homologous polynucleotide sequence thereof. Filter hybridization methods include dot blotting, Southern imprinting, Northern blotting, and copying methods. They all use the same steps to immobilize the polynucleotide sample to be tested on the filter. 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 unhybridized probes 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.
