- XCL is organized as a tetramer with an inner cavity.
- the inventors have demonstrated that it is possible to confine a molecule in this cavity without a covalent bond between the molecule and XCL.
- the inventors have designed XCL variants capable of remaining in tetrameric form for a long time.
- the inventors have also shown that the confined molecule can be released under conditions similar to those encountered in target cells.
- the inventors In order to increase the stability of the tetrameric structure of XCL, the inventors have designed XCL variants whose monomers are covalently bound. The inventors have tested a strategy consisting of the formation of disulfide bridges between the monomers by substituting amino acid residues of wild-type XCL with cysteine. To minimize the number of substitution the inventors had to determine the amino acids that were close to their counterparts in the opposite monomer. As revealed by the 3D structure of XCL, two amino acids have such a property. The distance between the beta carbons of threonine 12 and its counterpart is 3.9 angstroms and that between alanine 38 and its counterpart is 3.4 angstroms.
- variant A38C The particularity of variant A38C is that the presence of two additional disulfide bridges results in stabilization of the entire tetramer. If we consider that the structure of XCL is a square in which each monomer is a wedge, the disulphide bridges A38C will link them diagonally. Dissociation of oxidized A38C tetramers will only be possible if all interfaces are broken. A strong stabilization of the tetramer is envisaged making its dissociation very unlikely.
- Clone A38C was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis using the XCL plasmid as a template and the protein produced and purified using the same protocol as that used to produce XCL (Trigueros et al (2003)). A yield of 25 mg of purified protein per liter of culture was obtained. The last part of the protocol consisted of a 12-hour oxidation step in the presence of 10 mM of oxidized glutathione. This step is required to produce disulfide bridges between the monomers. The formation of these covalent bonds was verified by SDS-PAGE. Two SDS-PAGEs have been prepared. Beta- mercaptoethanol was added to the samples in the first gel so no beta-mercaptoethanol was added to the second gel.
- These species correspond to 2 monomers covalently linked by the creation of disulfide bridges. It represents 90% of the species in the case of A38C. Another band which represents 5% of the species and has a molecular weight of 21 kDa is also observed. This band corresponds to monomers from unoxidized species. The third band, which also represents 5% of the species, has an apparent molecular mass of 60 kDa corresponding to the tetrameric species. All these results show that the strategy of rational modification of XCL by genetic engineering made it possible to obtain an oxidation rate of approximately 90%.
- a T12C variant was produced in the same manner as A38C by site-directed mutagenesis using the XCL plasmid as a template. Using the same protocol, 10mg of protein per liter of culture was produced. The oxidation rate of the T12C variant was searched using the same method by SDS-PAGE as for A38C. These rates were compared with those obtained with the variant A38C.
- Several oxidative conditions were tested with different concentrations of reduced glutathione. In fact, the addition of reduced glutathione prevents the formation of incorrect bonds by allowing the reduction of disulfide bridges which could be insufficiently stabilized by other interactions.
- the oxidation rate of each sample was tested by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions after heating the samples for 5 min at 95 ° C. As for A38C, 3 bands were observed for T12C. The oxidation rate obtained for T12C is therefore comparable to that obtained for A38C. However, when the reduced glutathione is added to the oxidation buffer at a concentration of 10 mM, a sharp decrease in oxidation rate was observed with respect to A38C. This result shows that the additional oxidized T12C disulfide bridge is less stable than the A38C disulfide bridge.
- XCL is organized in solution in the form of a tetramer.
- the inventors have determined whether there exists a spontaneous exchange between the tetrameric forms and any dimeric or monomeric minority forms.
- the oligomerization equilibrium of the XCL protein was characterized by measuring the appearance of Forster-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two XCL populations labeled separately either with FITC (Fluorescein IsoThioCyanate) or RITC (Rhodamine IsoThioCyanate).
- FRET Forster-type resonance energy transfer
- the minimum and maximum distances between two e-amine groups exposed to the surface and belonging to different protein subunits are respectively 21 and 67 angstroms and therefore both in the range of distance compatible with the appearance of FRET.
- the mixture of FITC-XCL and RITC-XCL was diluted to different concentrations and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature.
- the fluorescence spectrum was recorded with 468 nm light excitation.
- a I580 / I520 ratio was calculated for each concentration and read as a function of the XCL concentration ( Figure 4).
- a transition in the intensity of energy transfer occurs at a concentration close to one micromolar. Obviously, the titration curve is not complete until saturation is reached for the points of highest concentration. Due to the solubility limit of XCL and the labeling protocol, protein concentrations can not exceed 10 ⁇ in this experiment.
- XCL can follow two pathways of dissociation.
- the tetramer ABCD formed by XCL can dissociate in two different ways: to AB and CD dimers or to AD and BC dimers.
- the inventors used fluorescein to validate the confinement capacity of the XCL tetramer.
- Fluorescein (279 to 3 ) has the advantage of being small and very soluble in aqueous solvent (it is therefore possible to place at high concentration during confinement). In addition, it absorbs visible light at 51 1 nm, which allows it to be detected. The inventors have preferred to follow the absorbance of this molecule rather than its fluorescence. Indeed, the Fluorescence of a molecule is dependent on its chemical environment, therefore, once confined, fluorescein could see its fluorescence yield significantly altered.
- the inventors incubated the protein (15 ⁇ l) with fluorescein (10 mM) and then separated the protein from the unconfined fluorescein molecules by two successive gel filtration columns. Previously, the inventors verified that if these two columns are carried out on the fluorescein solution at 10 m, no residual free fluorescein is detected. The fluorescein detected during the confinement is necessarily bound to the protein or contained by the latter.
- the A38C protein was also used to carry out the confinement, the protocol being identical except that the protein which is initially oxidized is reduced before being placed in the presence of the fluorescein solution, then in a second oxidized phase. overnight in the presence of an oxidizing agent, oxidized glutathione.
- This protein is noted A38R in Figure 7.
- Fluorescein can bind nonspecifically on the surface of the protein or in the cavity. Maintaining containment for 4 days indicates that fluorescein is not bound in a labile manner, otherwise it would dissociate after this time.
- XCL originating from a po ⁇ kilothermal (or heterothermal) organism that is to say non thermally regulated endogenously, the behavior of the tetramer as a function of temperature and in particular its behavior below 45 ⁇ was analyzed.
- the inventors have studied the behavior of XCL under denaturing chemical conditions close to that encountered in lysosomes.
- the analysis was carried out by exclusion chromatography at acidic pH (pH 4.4). It appears that the peak elution of XCL in these denaturing conditions is shifting to larger elution volumes reflecting the appearance of a smaller size.
- SDS acidic pH
- the elution peak moves to the elution volume of RNAse A which has a molar mass close to the XCL monomer.
- the decrease in pH thus leads to the dissociation of the tetramer to dimer, and with a very small amount of detergent these dimers are dissociated into monomers.
- A38Cox has an elution volume comparable to that of XCL.
- the addition of the disulfide bridge therefore increases the stability of the protein assembly.
- the addition of 0.003% of SDS leads to the dissociation of the tetramer into dimers, consisting of monomers connected to each other by the disulfide bridge.
- Lysosomes are subcellular organelles of degradation. Their content is acidic, reducing and contains acid hydrolases, protein-degrading proteases that are addressed to them. The results obtained show that under these reducing and acidic conditions, XCL or its mutant A38Cox are dissociated into dimers, allowing the release within the lysosomes of the active agents confined in the cavity.
