Example 1
[0072] A preparation method of a high-stability superoxide dismutase with a transmembrane capability included the following steps.
[0073] (1) an RNA extraction kit (purchased from Tiangen Biotech) was used to extract mRNA from Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a reverse transcription kit (purchased from Tiangen Biotech) was used to synthesize the cDNA of the microorganism, a specific primer (the primer sequence was as follows) was optimized according to restriction endonuclease sites, and the sequence encoding the superoxide dismutase was captured.
[0074] A captured upstream primer sequence for the superoxide dismutase was:
TABLE-US-00006 (SEQ ID NO: 2) 5′-CATATGCCCTTTGAACTACCAGCAT-3′, and
[0075] a captured downstream primer sequence for the superoxide dismutase was:
TABLE-US-00007 (SEQ ID NO: 3) 5′-AAGCTTCTTCGCTTTCGCCTCGCTG-3′.
[0076] (2) A pET30a vector (purchased from Youbio) was selected as the expression vector, an amplified sequence and the vector were digested with HindIII and NdeI (purchased from Abclonal), an obtained digested product was recovered with a DNA gel recovery kit (purchased from Tiangen Biotech), the recovered digested product was ligated with a DNA ligase at 16° C. for 12 h at a molar ratio of a DNA fragment and a plasmid of 2:1, a ligated linker was transformed into the competent E. coli engineering bacteria BL21 (DE3) by heat shock at 42° C., and the transformed engineering bacteria were spread on an LB-resistant plate containing 50 μg/mL of kanamycin and incubated at 37° C. for 18-26 h to form a single clone; after the single clone was formed (
[0077]
[0078]
[0079] An upstream primer sequence for colony PCR was: 5′-TTACCCTATCCCTATGATGCTC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 5); and
[0080] a downstream primer sequence for colony PCR was: 5′-CCCAACCGCTACCGAAAC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 6).
[0081] (3) A correctly verified single clone was selected for an expression verification and specifically an expression condition was as follows: 5 mL of a LB liquid medium (the medium contains 50 μg/mL of kanamycin) was inoculated with a monoclonal colony, when an OD600 value reached 0.7, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.5 mM (a preferred concentration), and induction was conducted at different temperatures (preferably, 16° C. and 37° C.); bacterial cells were collected after the induction and an ultrasonic lysis was conducted at an ultrasonic volume of 1 mL and specifically, was conducted for 2 s and stopped for 3 s with a total ultrasonic time of 10 min.
[0082] After the experiment, each component was detected by an electrophoresis by using an SDS-PAGE method (
[0083]
[0084]
[0085] An activity of the superoxide dismutase in an obtained lysate supernatant was determined by using a WST-8 method (a kit was purchased from Beyotime). After the activity was determined, a purification method was explored. A glycerin-assisted heating method (heating to 75° C. in 15% glycerol to inactivate impure proteins), a salting-out method, an organic solvent precipitation method and a dialysis method were used for purification, and a WST-8 kit method was used to detect the activity and the activity was 24,747 U/mL (See
[0086]
[0087] In a thermal stability test, the purified superoxide dismutase was placed in a water bath 4° C., 75° C., 80° C., 85° C., 90° C. and 95° C. for 3 h respectively and the enzyme activity was detected (See
[0088] (4) Stability of the superoxide dismutase is improved.
[0089] In order to improve the thermal stability of the superoxide dismutase, characteristics of an amino acid sequence were analyzed, key amino acid sites having an impact on the thermal stability were screened out, and the superoxide dismutase was mutated to improve the thermal stability; after a pre-test experiment and study, it was finally found that after aspartic acid at position 20 was mutated to glycine and leucine at position 141 was mutated to asparagine, the thermal stability of the enzyme could be maximized (
[0090]
[0091]
[0092] (5) The transmembrane capability of the superoxide dismutase is improved.
[0093] The cell membrane has a natural barrier function, and specifically can maintain a relatively stable intracellular environment and regulate and select substances entering and leaving the cell. The cell membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids, such that non-fat-soluble substances, polypeptides and protein biological macromolecules cannot enter the cell freely. Due to the barrier function of the cell membrane, many medicinal biologically active macromolecules in vitro cannot enter the cell. It was analyzed that the superoxide dismutase did not have a transmembrane signal region and thus had extremely low transmembrane capability; the present disclosure needed to develop a superoxide dismutase with a transmembrane capability.
[0094] Recently, it is found that a class of short peptides, namely CPPs, are capable of spontaneously crossing the cell membranes and carrying biological macromolecules into cells, and have a relatively strong transmembrane capability; the CPPs are a class of short peptides composed of tens of amino acids, can deliver biologically active substances into cells to exert biological activity and produce therapeutic effects, do not cause permanent damage to cell membranes, and are non-irritating, such that the CPPs are used as a highly favored new drug delivery vehicle. A CPP sequence YGRKKRRQRRR (SEQ ID NO: 10), that was a trans-activating transcriptional activator, with a transmembrane capability on an HIV-1 peptide segment was coupled with the superoxide dismutase for expression to enable the superoxide dismutase to have the transmembrane capability. However, a problem of protein expression spatial conformation should be considered when a coupling expression was conducted. In order to prevent the CPP sequence from affecting the correct spatial conformation of the superoxide dismutase, a flexible polypeptide linker-GGGSGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 11) (other optional flexible polypeptide linkers GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 12), GGSGGS (SEQ ID NO: 13) and GGGGG (SEQ ID NO: 14)) was introduced in the present disclosure to maximize a soluble expression and a transmembrane secretion expression of the coupled superoxide dismutase (
[0095]
[0096] It could be seen from
[0097] A method for introducing the flexible peptide linker and the CPP sequence was as follows: the Q5 Site-directed mutagenesis kit was purchased from the NEB company, primers were designed as follows, the ability of a high-fidelity ultra-length DNA polymerase Q5 was used to amplify a plasmid in a reverse manner, and KLD brought by the kit connected the newly amplified plasmid into a circle.
[0098] Primer 1 was as follows:
TABLE-US-00008 (SEQ ID NO: 8) 5′-CCATAACTTCCTCCTCCACTTCCTCCTCCAAGCTTTCACTTCGCTT TCG-3′;
[0099] Primer 2 was as follows:
TABLE-US-00009 (SEQ ID NO: 9) 5′-TCGTAAGAAGCGCCGTCAACGTCGCCGTATTCGCCGGCCTGAGCT C-3′.
[0100] The flexible peptide linker and the CPP sequence were used for the coupled expression with the superoxide dismutase to achieve the soluble expression and the transmembrane secretion expression, and then the thermal stability (
