Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a new process for producing protein of interest, in large quantity, which can be directly used for structural analyzes.
- the invention also relates to the recombinant protein obtained.
- the receptors coupled to G proteins constitute a super-family of membrane proteins characterized by 7 transmembrane domains (TM I to VII) which play a primordial role in intercellular communication and the reception of sensory signals [1].
- RCPGs constitute the most important structural and functional family of membrane receptors. They represent in particular a significant part of the human genome known to date (at least 700 receptors, 0.5% of the genome). Expressed on the surface of all cells in an organism (from yeast to humans), they are activated by a very wide variety of extracellular messages.
- peptides peptides, hormones, lipids, odorous molecules, light, nucleotides, nucleosides, taste molecules, etc.
- Their activation leads to an intracellular cascade of signals via G proteins and results in a large number of cellular responses (for example cell division or contraction, neurotransmission).
- RCPGs are involved in each physiological function.
- the importance of these receptors as well as the knowledge of their cellular localization designates them as ideal targets for therapy. And indeed, we can estimate that almost 50% of the drugs on the market act via GPCRs.
- GPCRs Many pathologies are the consequence of mutations in GPCRs, and their clinical manifestations are well known, we can cite for example blindness, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, precocious puberty, obesity [2].
- GPCRs are very difficult for various reasons: the transmembrane nature of these proteins and their hydrophobic nature make them difficult to handle and generally lead to a loss of functionality and to denaturation after solubilization; - obtaining them in their entire primary sequence remains very difficult. Most of the time, they are expressed in truncated form [5].
- the RCPGs represent in this area of the production in large quantity of a protein only one example of the difficulties which one meets when it is a question of obtaining a significant quantity of a protein of interest.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a large quantity of a protein of interest, in particular RCPGs.
- recombinant proteins particularly membrane proteins, very particularly RCPGs, comprising at least one fragment of an alpha integrin and the protein of interest
- This strategy makes it possible in particular to obtain a production of said proteins in large quantities in microorganisms, particularly in bacteria.
- the recombinant proteins of the invention are produced in bacteria, they accumulate in the inclusion bodies of the bacterial cytoplasm. It is then necessary to renaturate the proteins of interest in order to obtain them in active form in an amount compatible with a direct analysis of their structure, for example by X-ray crystallography or by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
- NMR nuclear magnetic resonance
- the process of the invention can also allow the production of non-truncated proteins, particularly when applied to GPCRs.
- Integrins form a family of structurally and functionally linked receptors that participate in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. All integrins are in the form of heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits, linked non-covalently. Based on their primary sequence, all alpha integrins have an N-terminal region made up of seven repeated amino acid sequences (repeat I to VII), each comprising approximately 60 amino acids. Some alpha subunits include an insertion domain (domain-I) of approximately 200 amino acids, located between repetitions II and III.
- the homologies between repetitions I and VII essentially comprise consensus sequences FG and GAP, corresponding to the phenylalanine, glycyl-glycyl, alanyl, prolyl sequences, hence their name "FG-GAP repeat”.
- the alpha subunit of integrins (also called integrin alpha (integrin ⁇ ) in the text) has never been used for the production of recombinant proteins of interest in cells other than cells of mammals and this in an amount directly compatible with a structural analysis of the protein of interest, which requires an amount of said protein which can range up to several milligrams.

- the washing eluates are kept for control on an electrophoresis gel.
- the protein of interest is then detached from the resin by passing 3 ml of a 20 mM Tris-HCl solution pH 8.00, 6M urea, 0.2% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 100 mM imidazole. An aliquot of the purified protein is stored for control on gel electrophoresis 1.
- 10 ⁇ l of the medium containing the purified protein are mixed with 10 ⁇ l of SDS deposition buffer and the whole is deposited on an electrophoresis gel.
- 10 ⁇ l of purified sample contain 5 to 10 ⁇ g of protein, ie in 3 ml of eluate, 1.5 to 3 mg of recombinant protein.
- FIG. 3 shows the purified protein deposited on an electrophoresis gel.
- the purified sample is dialyzed against a 20 mM Tris-HCl solution, pH 8.00, 6M urea, 150 mM NaCl to remove the SDS and imidazole.
- the sample is placed in a Pierce dialysis cassette (M CO membrane of 10,000) and the dialysis is carried out in a beaker containing one liter of the buffer. Dialysis is carried out at 4 ° C for at least 24 hours.
- the sample is recovered and the quantity of protein of interest obtained is measured by absorption measurement (excitation at 280 nM, absorption between 235 and 500 nM). In general, an OD of 1 to 1.5 is obtained, which is equivalent to a concentration of 0.5 to 1 mg / ml, which is equivalent to a concentration of the order of 10 ⁇ M.
- the purified and denatured protein (because dissolved in 6M urea) is used for the renaturation tests.
- Example 5 Construction of a vector allowing the simultaneous expression of two proteins of interest (here two RCPGs) in Escherichia coli and their purification.
- a complementary DNA coding for a protein of interest in this case the human CXCR4 chemokine receptor, is inserted into the vector pET21a (+) - ⁇ 5V2 described previously in example 2.
- This DNA must be in phase with that coding for the ⁇ 5V2 fusion and is positioned between the SacI and HindIII restriction sites for example.
- the vector directly provides the sequence coding for the tag 6xHIS which will therefore be located at the C-terminal end of the CXCR4 receptor and will therefore allow its purification in a later step.
- Step 1 Preparation of the DNA complementary to the human CXCR4 receptor.
- Recognition sites for the restriction enzymes SacI and HindIII are added to either side of the sequence coding for the human CXCR4 receptor during a standard PCR reaction.
- the complementary DNA of this receptor is amplified from the vector pET10 / D-TOPO (Invitrogen) in which it is subcloned and from two priming oligonucleotides making it possible to insert the restriction sites considered. Oligo sens (incorporation of the Sacl site): 5 'CGAGCTAAGGC GAGCTC A ATGGAAGGCATTAGCATTTATAC 3'
- Oligo antisense incorporation of the HindIII site: 5 'CGACGGCCC AAGCTT GCTGCTATGAAAGCTGCTGCTTTC 3'
- the PCR reaction is carried out in 50 microliters and is composed of: pET10 / D-TOPO 20 ng
- the reaction parameters are: initial denaturation at 95 ° C for 2 minutes then 25 cycles: 95 ° C, 30 s; 55 ° C, 1 min; 72 ° C, 1.5 min then final elongation at 72 ° C, 10 min.
- the presence of the amplified fragment is verified on 1% agarose gel.
- Step 2 purification of the amplified fragment
- the area of the agarose gel in which the amplified DNA fragment is viewed is cut out and the cDNA is purified using the Qiaquick gel extraction purification kit.
- Step 3 cutting of the CXCR4 PCR fragment amplified by Sacl and HindIII
- the PCR fragment amplified and cut with SacI is purified from an agarose gel according to the protocol described in step 2.
- the PCR fragment amplified and cut with SacI / HindIII is purified from an agarose gel according to the protocol described in step 2.
- Step 4 subcloning of the amplified and cut SacI / HindIII PCR fragment CXCR4 in the vector pET21a (+) - ⁇ 5V2. This step is carried out by ligation at room temperature for 16H00.
- the vector obtained which codes for a triple integrin-V2 receptor-CXCR4 receptor fusion protein is then used for a transformation of the Rosetta bacteria (DE3) in order to express this fusion and to purify it.
- Step 5 transformation of Rosetta bacteria.
- Step 6 expression of the ⁇ 5V2-CXCR4 fusion
- the LB culture medium is replaced by Hyperbroth medium (Athena Enzyme Systems) and the optimum induction time is 4 hours .
- Step 7 purification of the ⁇ 5V2-CXCR4 fusion. This step is illustrated in Figure 4.
- Example 4 Following the protocol of Example 4 to the letter but during the washing step of the agarose Ni-NTA resin, a concentration of 15 mM of imidazole instead of 20 mM is used in the washing solution. The elution is carried out at 100 mM as in Example 4.
- the spacer arm can also be inserted upstream of the thrombin cleavage site just after the site
