結果を図1に示す。
以下の手順に従い、配列番号4、5、7及び11で表されるペプチドのSi3N4基材に対する親和性について検討した。なお、以下においてTP24は配列番号4で表されるペプチド、TP25は配列番号5で表されるペプチド、TP14は配列番号7で表されるペプチド、TP19は配列番号11で表されるペプチドを指す。

5)Si3N4基材をマイクロプレート(Nunc #267061)上に移し、マイクロプレートリーダーにて基材表面の蛍光強度を測定した(励起波長:620nm、蛍光波長:666nm)。なお、シグナル強度のばらつきを考慮して各サンプルとも測定を合計98回行い、平均値と標準偏差を求めた。
結果を図2に示す。
以下の手順に従い、配列番号1~11で表されるペプチドについて、Si3N4基材に対する親和性の有無を調べた。
1.手順
1)配列番号1~11で表されるペプチド含むPBS溶液に、実施例1と同じSi3N4基材12g(概算表面積187.4cm2)を混合し、25℃、200rpmで2時間振盪した。

プログラム
その結果、吸着前後のクロマトグラムを比較することによって、これらのいずれの溶液を用いた場合であっても、吸着後のピーク面積が減少しており、このことから、配列番号1~11で表されるペプチドはいずれもSi3N4基材に対する親和性を有することが確認された。従って、これらのアミノ酸配列を有するペプチドによれば、これらのタンパク質を介した、窒化ケイ素基材における目的タンパク質の高密度化、高活性化、高配向制御が可能であることが分かった。更に、そのピーク面積の減少率は50%以上であることが確認された。クロマトグラムの比較によって吸着前後のピーク面積の減少率も把握することができ、減少率が高いほど、そのペプチドの窒化ケイ素に対する親和性が高いと判断できる。窒化ケイ素に対する親和力が一層高い点から、ピーク面積の減少率は50%以上、より好ましくは70%以上、さらに好ましくは80%以上が例示されると考えられた。
以下の手順に従い、各ペプチドの窒化ケイ素基材に対する親和性について検討した。
1.手順
配列番号1及び2で表されるペプチドに代えて、配列番号6~8及び10で表されるポリペプチド(配列番号17~19及び21で表されるヌクレオチド配列からなるポリヌクレオチド)を用いる以外は実施例1と同様の手順にて、各ペプチドとの融合GTSを調製した。以下においてV821は配列番号6で表されるペプチド、TP14は配列番号7で表されるペプチド、V829は配列番号8で表されるペプチド、CT22は配列番号10で表されるペプチドを指す。また、調製された各ペプチドとの融合GTSは、それぞれGST-V821、GST-TP14、GST-V829、GST-CT22と示す。これらも、GSTのC末端部にペプチドを融合させたものである。
結果を図3に示す。図3は、Si3N4基材に対する吸着密度を示す。図3から明らかなように、wt-GSTに対して、GST-V821、GST-CT22、GST-TP14、GST-V829のいずれにおいてもSi3N4基材に対する吸着密度の顕著な向上が認められた。これは、配列番号6~8及び10で表されるペプチドを導入することによって、GTSをSi3N4基材に容易且つ高密度に固定化できたことを示す。従って、配列番号6~8及び10のいずれかで表されるペプチドはSi3N4基材に対して良好な親和性を有し、目的タンパク質のSi3N4基材への固定化に有用であることが分かった。また、当該ペプチドはGSTの所望の位置に導入することができ、得られたペプチド融合GSTにおいて吸着密度の向上が認められたことから、当該ペプチドによれば目的タンパク質の活性の維持や配向制御も可能であることが分かった。また、ここには示さないが、配列番号3~5、9及び11で表されるペプチドをそれぞれGTSに導入した場合も、同様の傾向が認められた。また、図3はpH7における結果であるが、pH9において行った場合も同様の傾向が認められた。
実施例4とは異なる機器を用いて、以下の手順に従い、前述のようにして構築したGST-TP14、GST-V821、GST-V829及びGST-CT22のSi3N4基材に対する親和性について検討した。
1.手順
wt-GSTまたは各ペプチドとの融合GSTが0.1μg/ml、1μg/ml、10μg/ml、100μg/ml(1cm3)となるように、実施例4と同様にしてPBSを用いてGST溶液を作製した。また、本実施例においても各濃度のGST溶液において、更にイオン強度の異なる溶液(イオン強度0.075、0.15、0.3)を作製した。RIfSセンサ(日本写真印刷製Wacaris)にSi3N4基材(センサチップ)を装着し、流速100μl/min でPBSを供給して流路内を平衡化した。GST溶液を100μLずつセンサチップ上に供給し、検出される波長シフト量(Δλ(nm))の値をモニタリングした。2~3回のインジェクションによって吸着平衡に達した際の波長シフト量の値を吸着量の指標として評価した。
結果を図4に示す。図4から明らかなように、本実施例においても、いずれもペプチド融合GSTを用いた場合であっても、wt-GSTと比較して、吸着量の顕著な向上が認められた。また、ここには示さないが、配列番号3~5、9及び11で表されるペプチドをそれぞれGTSに導入した場合も、同様の傾向が認められた。
ペプチド融合GSTの吸着密度について検討するとともに、Si3N4基材に固定化させたペプチド融合GSTを構成するGTSが、GTS本来の活性を維持しているかどうかについて検討した。
1.手順
1)wt-GST、GST-TP14またはGST-V821が100μg/ml(1cm3)となるようPBSを用いてGST溶液を作製し、このGST溶液2mlとSi3N4基材2g(表面積31.2cm2、面積/体積:31.2cm-1)とを接触させ、25℃で2時間インキュベートした。
2)上清を回収し、DC Protein Assayによって上清中のGST濃度をそれぞれ定量した。
3)吸着前後のGSTの濃度差より吸着量を算出し、接触面積(31.2cm2)で除することで吸着密度を計算した。
4)次いで、Si3N4基材をPBSで3回、0.1Mリン酸カリウム水溶液(pH6.5)で1回洗浄し、アスピレーターで溶液を完全に除去した。
5)CDNB 1mM、GSH 1mMをそれぞれ含む0.1Mリン酸カリウム水溶液を3ml添加し、25℃、300rpmで撹拌しながら30秒ごとに340nmの吸光度変化を微量分光光度計nano drop (Thermo製)で計測し、吸光度変化(min-1・cm-1)を算出した。生成物CDNB-GSHのモル吸光係数ε=9.6 mM-1・cm-1を基に1分間に生じた生成物量を算出し、酵素活性とした。ただし、1Uとは、1分間に1μmolのCDNB-GSHを生じるのに必要な酵素量である。
6)検出された酵素活性をSi3N4基材の面積で除して単位面積あたりの酵素活性mU/cm-2を計算した。
結果を図5に示す。当該結果から明らかなようにGSTはSi3N4基材に高密度で固定化されており、また、ペプチド融合GSTを構成するGTSは、Si3N4基材に固定化させた後であってもGTS本来の活性を維持していた。このことから、Si3N4親和性ペプチドを目的タンパク質に連結させることによって、目的タンパク質をSi3N4基材上に高密度に固定化でき、固定化された状態であっても目的タンパク質は高い活性を発揮できることが確認できた。また、ここには示さないが、配列番号3~5及び9~11で表されるペプチドをそれぞれGSTに導入した場合も、同様の傾向が認められた。
以下の手順に従い、配列番号23~35で表される各ペプチドについて、Si3N4基材に対する親和性の有無を調べた。
1.手順
1)配列番号23~35で表されるペプチド含むPBS溶液に、実施例1と同じSi3N4基材10.5g(概算表面積164.02cm2)を混合し、25℃、200rpmで2時間振盪した。
2)当該溶液の上清の一部をHPLCで分析し、残りの溶液を更にSi3N4基材と混合した。その際、1ml当たりの基材量を1.5gとなるように設定した。
3)2)を合計6回繰り返した。
4)吸着後のピーク面積の減少が著しいペプチドがSi3N4基材に対して親和性を有すると判断できることから、吸着前後のクロマトグラムを比較した。
その結果、吸着前後のクロマトグラムを比較することによって、これらのいずれの溶液を用いた場合であっても、吸着後のピーク面積が減少しており、このことから、配列番号23~35で表される各ペプチドはいずれもSi3N4基材に対する親和性を有することが確認された。従って、これらのアミノ酸配列を有するペプチドによっても、これらのタンパク質を介した、Si3N4基材における目的タンパク質の高密度化、高活性化、高配向制御が可能であることが分かった。更に、そのピーク面積の減少率は50%以上であることが確認された。
以下の手順に従い、配列番号23、24及び26で表される各ペプチドのSi3N4基材に対する親和性について検討した。
1.手順
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (ISD)発現ベクターの構築
ELN遺伝子に代えて、Isocitrate dehydrogenase(ISD)遺伝子を用いた以外は実施例1と同様にしてISD発現ベクターを回収、精製した。
本実施例では、実施例1において精製したものと同一のベクターを用いて、以下の実験を行った。
配列番号6~8及び10で表されるペプチドに代えて、配列番号23、24及び26で表されるペプチドを用いる以外は実施例5と同様の手順にて、各ペプチドとの融合GTSを調製した。以下においてSIN3は配列番号23で表されるペプチド、SIN4は配列番号24で表されるペプチド、TP4は配列番号26で表されるペプチドを指す。また、調製された各ペプチドとの融合GTSは、それぞれGST-SIN3、GST-SIN4、GST-TP4と示す。調製された各ペプチドとの融合GTSのSi3N4基材への吸着量について、RIfSセンサ(日本写真印刷製Wacaris)にSi3N4基材(センサチップ)を装着したものを用いて、実施例5と同様の手順で評価した。コントロールとして、ペプチドを融合させていない野生型GST(wt-GST)を用いた。なお、GST濃度は、wt-GSTでは100ug/ml、ペプチド融合GTSでは50ug/mlとした。
結果を図6に示す。図6から明らかなように、wt-GSTと比較してGST-SIN3、GST-SIN4、GST-TP4のいずれのペプチド融合GSTでも、Si3N4基材に対する吸着量の向上が認められた。特に、wt-GSTの濃度はGST-SIN3、GST-SIN4、GST-TP4よりも2倍高いにもかかわらず、GST-SIN3、GST-SIN4、GST-TP4において吸着量の有意な向上が認められた。この結果は配列番号23、24及び26のいずれかで表されるペプチドを導入することによっても、GTSをSi3N4基材に容易且つ高密度に固定化できたことを示す。従って、配列番号23、24及び26で表されるペプチドもSi3N4基材に対して良好な親和性を有し、目的タンパク質のSi3N4基材への固定化に有用であることが分かった。また、このように、これらのペプチドもGSTの所望の位置に導入することができ、得られたペプチド融合GSTにおいても吸着密度の向上が認められたことから、当該ペプチドによれば目的タンパク質の活性の維持や配向制御も可能であることが分かった。また、このほか配列番号25及び27~35で表される各ペプチドとの融合GSTにおいても同様の傾向が認められる。
