信号肽酶是生物体内的一种常见且重要的酶, 参与催化将体内分泌蛋白前体序 列中的信号肽切除, 以生成具有生物活性的蛋白多肽。 在原核生物中存在三种不 同类型的信号肽酶: I 型信号肽酶负责参与多种转运前体蛋白的加工; II 型信号 肽酶仅参与脂蛋白的加工过程; 而 III 型信号肽酶则参与原核生物菌毛的形成过 程。 其中, I 型信号肽酶为整膜蛋白, 其通过蛋白序列 N末端的一个或两个跨膜结 构域结合在质膜上。 该蛋白多肽中还含有一保守的催化活性亚单位, 其中丝氨酸 及赖氨酸两个氨基酸残基为酶催化活性所必需的。 Signal peptidase is a common and important enzyme in living organisms, which is involved in catalyzing the removal of signal peptides in the sequence of endocrine protein precursors to generate biologically active protein polypeptides. There are three different types of signal peptidases in prokaryotes: type I signal peptidases are responsible for participating in the processing of multiple transport precursor proteins; type II signal peptidases are only involved in the processing of lipoproteins; and type III signal peptidases are Participate in the process of prokaryotic pilus formation. Among them, the type I signal peptidase is an integral membrane protein, which is bound to the plasma membrane through one or two transmembrane domains at the N-terminus of the protein sequence. The protein polypeptide also contains a conserved catalytically active subunit, in which serine and lysine amino acid residues are necessary for enzyme catalytic activity.
在真核生物中, 各种相关蛋白的信号肽的切除由信号肽酶复合物来催化完成, 信号肽酶复合物是一由至少五个亚单位所组成的寡聚酶复合物, 定位于细胞的内 质网膜上。 哺乳动物的信号肽酶复合物由 18KD 及 21KD 两个亚单位所组成。 研究 发现, 所有不同来源的信号肽酶中均含有如下所示的三个特征性序列片段: 特征 性序列片段 1: [GS]- X-S-M-X-[PS]-[AT]- [LF] (其中 S为活性作用位点); 特征性 序列片段 2: K— R— [LIVMSTA] ( 2 ) - [GA] -X- [PG] -G- [DE] -X- [LIVM] -X- [LI VMFY] (其 中 K 为活性作用位点); 特征性序列片段 3: [LIVMFYW] (2) - X (2) - G-D- [NH]-X ( 3) -[SND]-X (2) -[SG]; 以上三个特征性序列片段的序列片段 1 中含有一丝氨 酸活性位点。 特征序列片段 2 中含有一赖氨酸活性作用中心, 这一特征性序列片 段仅在一些信号多肽酶如 IMP1 等中存在, 而不是在所有的信号肽酶中均存在。 特 征性序列片段 3 则存在于所有信号肽酶蛋白序列的 C 末端。 这三个特征性序列片 段均在蛋白的作用活性过程中起重要的调控作用, 其任意一个突变或表达异常都 将导致酶的失活或作用异常, 进而影响一系列相关的生物学过程的进行。 该蛋白 在生物体内通常与一些信号系统信号传导紊乱相关的发育紊乱性疾病、 免疫系统 疾病、 相关组织的肿瘤及癌症等疾病的发生密切相关。 In eukaryotes, the excision of the signal peptides of various related proteins is catalyzed by a signal peptidase complex. The signal peptidase complex is an oligomeric enzyme complex composed of at least five subunits and is localized to the cell. On the endoplasmic reticulum. The mammalian signal peptidase complex consists of two subunits, 18KD and 21KD. The study found that the signal peptidases from all different sources contained three characteristic sequence fragments as shown below: Characteristic sequence fragment 1: [GS]-XSMX- [PS]-[AT]-[LF] (where S Is the active site); characteristic sequence fragment 2: K— R— [LIVMSTA] (2)-[GA] -X- [PG] -G- [DE] -X- [LIVM] -X- [LI VMFY] (where K is the active site); characteristic sequence fragment 3: [LIVMFYW] (2)-X (2)-GD- [NH] -X (3)-[SND] -X (2)- [SG]; Sequence fragment 1 of the above three characteristic sequence fragments contains a serine active site. The characteristic sequence fragment 2 contains a lysine active action center. This characteristic sequence fragment exists only in some signal peptidases, such as IMP1, and not in all signal peptidases. The characteristic sequence fragment 3 is present at the C-terminus of all signal peptidase protein sequences. These three characteristic sequence fragments all play an important regulatory role in the process of protein activity. Any mutation or abnormal expression will lead to the inactivation of the enzyme or the abnormal function, and then affect the progress of a series of related biological processes. . The protein is usually closely related to the occurrence of developmental disorders, immune system diseases, tumors of related tissues, and cancers in some signaling systems.

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、 Northern 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, 未杂交上的探针被一系列洗膜步骤除 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。 Suitable oligonucleotide fragments selected from the polynucleotides of the present invention are used as hybridization probes in a variety of ways. For example, the probes can be used to hybridize to genomic or cDNA libraries of normal tissue or pathological tissue from different sources to It is determined whether it contains the polynucleotide sequence of the present invention and a homologous polynucleotide sequence is detected. Further, the probe can be used to detect the polynucleotide sequence of the present invention or its homologous polynucleotide sequence in normal tissue or pathology. Whether the expression in tissue cells is abnormal. 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 blotting, Northern blotting, and copying methods. They all use the same steps of hybridization after fixing 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, so that the non-specific binding site of the sample on the filter is saturated with the carrier and the synthetic polymer. The pre-hybridization solution is then replaced with a hybridization buffer containing the labeled probe and incubated to hybridize the probe to the target nucleic acid. After the hybridization step, the unhybridized probes are removed by a series of membrane washing steps. This embodiment utilizes 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 embodiment, 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.

编码人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 11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人含信号肽酶 I 特征性序列片段的蛋白 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人含信号肽酶 I 特征性序列片 段的蛋白 Π , 以抑制内源性的人含信号肽酶 I 特征性序列片段的蛋白 1 1 活性。 例如, 一种变异的人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 11 可以是缩短的、 缺 失了信号传导功能域的人含信号肽酶 I 特征性序列片段的蛋白 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人含 信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 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 毒等可用于将编码人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 1 1 的多核苷酸转移至 细胞内。 构建携带编码人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 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 . )。 另外重组编码人含信 号肽酶 I 特征性序列片段的蛋白 11 的多核苷酸可包装到脂质体中转移至细胞 内。 Polynucleotides encoding human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I 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 protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I. Recombinant gene therapy vectors (such as viral vectors) can be designed to express mutated human signal peptide-containing characteristic sequence fragments of protein Π to inhibit endogenous human signal peptide-containing characteristic sequence fragments of protein 1 1 activity. For example, a mutated human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I may be a shortened human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I, although it may be related to the downstream Substrate binding, but lacks signaling activity. Therefore, the recombinant gene therapy vector can be used for treating diseases caused by abnormal expression or activity of protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I. Virus-derived expression vectors such as retrovirus, adenovirus, adenovirus-associated virus, herpes simplex virus, parvovirus, etc. can be used to transfer a polynucleotide encoding a protein 1 1 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of human signal peptidase I to in the cell. A method for constructing a recombinant viral vector carrying a polynucleotide encoding a human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can be found in the existing literature (Sambrook, et al.). In addition, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can be packaged into liposomes and transferred into cells.

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, DNA, and ribozymes can be obtained by any existing RNA or DNA synthesis technology, such as the technology for the synthesis of oligonucleotides by solid-phase phosphoramidite 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 vector's RNA polymerase promoter. 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 of the two hydrazones, and using phosphorothioate or peptide bonds instead of phosphodiester bonds for the linkage between ribonucleosides. The polynucleotide encoding human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can be used for diagnosis of diseases related to human protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I. The polynucleotide encoding human protein 11 containing the characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can be used to detect the expression of human protein 11 containing the characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I or the characteristics of human signal peptidase I in the disease state Sexual Sequence Fragment Abnormal Expression of Protein 11. For example, a DNA sequence encoding a protein 1 1 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can be used to hybridize a biopsy specimen to determine the expression status of protein 11 containing a characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I. Hybridization techniques include Sou thern blotting, Nor thern blotting, and in situ hybridization. These techniques and methods are publicly available and mature, and related kits are commercially available. Some 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 known as a "gene chip") for analyzing differential expression analysis and gene diagnosis of genes in tissues. RNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in vitro amplification of human protein 1 1 characteristic sequence fragments containing characteristic signal peptidase I can also detect the transcription of human protein 11 sequence characteristic fragments containing signal peptidase I product.
检测人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 11基因的突变也可用于诊断人 含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段的蛋白 1 1相关的疾病。 人含信号肽酶 I特征性序 列片段的蛋白 1 1 突变的形式包括与正常野生型人含信号肽酶 I特征性序列片段 的蛋白 1 1 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 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 protein 11 gene containing the characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I can also be used to diagnose diseases related to protein 1 1 containing the characteristic sequence fragment of signal peptidase I. Forms of human protein 1 1 characteristic sequence fragments containing signal peptidase I mutations include point mutations, translocations, deletions, and recombinations compared to normal wild type human protein 1 1 DNA sequence fragments characteristic of signal peptidase I And any other exceptions. 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, 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 DNA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 DNA 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 from the cDNA, and the sequences can be located on the 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 or a large number of genomic clones can be used to achieve sublocalization. Other similar strategies that can be used for chromosome localization include in situ hybridization, chromosome pre-screening with labeled flow sorting, and pre-selection of hybrids to construct chromosome-specific cDNA library.
将 cDM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)。 Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of cDM clones with 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).
