Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a polypeptide for blocking a PTS pathway and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydratephosphotransferase system (PTS), also known as the phosphotransferase system, is a carbohydrate transport and phosphorylation system present in all bacteria and archaea but not yet found in plants or animals. This PTS, which is found only in prokaryotes, is a potential antimicrobial target. The PTS typically consists of three proteins or protein complexes: enzyme I (EI) and the histidine-containing heat-stable protein HPr, which are located in the cytoplasm, and protease II (EII), which is membrane-bound. These proteins are phosphorylated at histidine or cysteine ​​residues. During various sugar utilization processes, the phosphorylation state of carbohydrates is altered by PTS components and transported to the cytoplasm. In pathogenic bacteria, the PTS links carbohydrate metabolism with functions such as chemotaxis and virulence expression.

[0003] Enzyme I includes EI and homologous component EI Ntr , are located intracellularly. EI participates in almost all PTS-sugar transport and has no PTS-sugar specificity. As the first component of the phosphate transfer chain, it directly accepts the phosphate group from PEP and transfers the phosphate group to the next component HPr. Ntr It is a nitrogen source - a key component of PTS.

[0004] HPr, sometimes also referred to as PtsH, is a small intracellular phosphate carrier protein. Like EI, HPr lacks PTS-sugar specificity and is involved in the transport of most PTS-sugars. The histidine-15 position of HPr is phosphorylated upon receiving a phosphate group from EI, transferring the phosphate group to the downstream specific PTS-sugar EIIAB. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The following provides definitions of some terms used in this specification. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein generally have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0037] The present invention provides a polypeptide for blocking the PTS pathway, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide has at least 90% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, identity / similarity refers to the identity / similarity between two or more nucleic acid sequences, or two or more amino acid sequences, and is expressed in terms of the identity or similarity between the sequences. Sequence identity can be measured in terms of percentage identity; the higher the percentage, the more identical the sequences. When aligned using standard methods, homologs or orthologs of nucleic acid or amino acid sequences have relatively high levels of sequence identity / similarity. The primers disclosed herein are not limited to the exact sequences shown, and as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the sequences may be altered, if desired, without significantly affecting the ability of the primers to function.

[0039] The present invention provides a polynucleotide encoding the above polypeptide.

[0040] In one embodiment, polynucleotide (polynucleotide) or nucleic acid molecule (Nucleic acidmolecule) or polynucleic acid (polynucleic acid) refer to the polymeric compound including covalently linked nucleotides, which can be composed of natural subunits (for example, purine or pyrimidine bases) or non-natural subunits (for example, morpholine ring). Purine bases include adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine and xanthine, and pyrimidine bases include uracil, thymine and cytosine. Polynucleotides include polyribonucleic acid (RNA), which includes mRNA, microRNA, siRNA, viral genome RNA and synthetic RNA, and polydeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which includes cDNA, genomic DNA and synthetic DNA, any one of which can be single-stranded or double-stranded. If single-stranded, polynucleotides can be coding strands or non-coding (antisense) strands. The polynucleotides encoding amino acid sequences include all nucleotide sequences encoding identical amino acid sequences. Some versions of nucleotide sequences can also include introns, and their degree makes introns be removed by co-transcription or post-transcription mechanism. In other words, due to redundancy or degeneracy of the genetic code, or by splicing, different nucleotide sequences can encode the same amino acid sequence.

[0041] In one embodiment, the polynucleotide / nucleic acid molecule can be synthesized, for example, by standard chemical synthesis methods and / or recombinant methods, or produced semi-synthetically, for example, by combining chemical synthesis and recombinant methods. The coding sequence can be linked to transcriptional regulatory elements and / or to other amino acid coding sequences using established methods, such as restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, and molecular cloning.

[0042] In one embodiment, the application also relates to variants of the above-mentioned polynucleotides. The variant of the polynucleotide can be a naturally occurring variant, such as a naturally occurring allelic variant, or it can be a non-naturally occurring variant. By mutagenesis techniques, including those mutagenesis techniques that are applied to polynucleotides, cells or organisms, these non-naturally occurring variants of the polynucleotides can be prepared.

[0043] In this regard, variants are those that differ from the polynucleotides described above by nucleotide substitutions, deletions, or additions. The substitutions, deletions, or additions may involve one or more nucleotides. The variants may be altered in the coding region or in the non-coding region, or both. Alterations in the coding region may result in conservative or non-conservative amino acid substitutions, deletions, or additions.

[0044] In one embodiment, the deletion refers to the deletion of one or more amino acids or nucleotides in the amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence.

[0045] Insertions or additions refer to changes in the amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence that result in the addition of one or more amino acids or nucleotides compared to the naturally occurring molecule. Substitutions refer to the replacement of one or more amino acids or nucleotides by different amino acids or nucleotides.

[0046] The present invention provides a vector comprising the above-mentioned polynucleotide.

[0047] In one embodiment, the vector also includes a transcriptional promoter and an optionally present enhancer, a translation signal, and a transcriptional and translational termination signal. Expression vectors for stable transformation typically have a selectable marker that allows selection and maintenance of transformed cells. In some cases, an origin of replication can be used to amplify the copy number of the vector in the cell. The vector can also include additional nucleotide sequences that are operably linked to the connected nucleic acid molecule, such as an epitope tag for localization, such as a 6-his tag or a myc tag, or a tag for purification, such as a GST fusion; and sequences for directing protein secretion and / or membrane association.

The main features of the present invention may be applied to various embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0080] Example

[0081] 1. ELISA detection of the binding activity of phage-displayed peptides to HPr

[0082] HPr protein was diluted to 100 μg / mL in the coating buffer, and 100 μL was added to each well of the ELISA plate. The plate was incubated in a humidified chamber at 4°C overnight. The plate was washed three times with a plate washer and blocked with 5% skim milk-PBST (200 μL per well) at 37°C for 1 hour. The supernatant of the purified 1C6-displaying phage was diluted in the blocking buffer, starting at 1:10 and serially diluted two-fold to 1:640. 100 μL was added to each well of the ELISA plate and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The plate was washed three times, and anti-M13-HRP secondary antibody was added and incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. The plate was washed five times, and color was developed with 100 μL of TMB substrate. The reaction was incubated for 3 minutes and terminated with 100 μL of 2N H2SO4. The plate was read at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader.

[0083] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the phage displaying 1C6 prepared in the present application can specifically recognize the HPr protein on the solid phase carrier, and as the dilution of 1C6 phage increases, the binding between 1C6 phage and the target protein has a good concentration dependence. The amino acid sequence of 1C6 is: PCTKQGGGTSHSAILARA (SEQ ID NO: 1).

[0084] 2. Detection of the interference effect of 1C6 on EI phosphorylation of HPr

[0085] Before the assay, EI protein was allowed to return to room temperature to allow for full dimerization. The EI / HPr enzyme reaction was performed in a 100 μL reaction volume in a 5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl buffer containing 160 μM NADH, 5 U LDH, 3 mM PEP, and 80 μM HPr. The reaction solution was preheated to 30°C before the addition of EI (final concentration 300 nM). A blank reaction solution lacked HPr and contained the same volume of DMSO to correct for EI autophosphorylation consumption, NADH autooxidation, and DMSO interference. A control reaction solution contained the same volume of DMSO. The positive control was α-ketoglutarate (final concentration 0.6 mg / mL). For the 1C6 interference assay, 1C6 at a final concentration of 0.6 mg / mL was pre-incubated with EI and HPr for 5 minutes before the addition of PEP. After a 5-minute reaction, the assay samples were inactivated by heating at 95°C for 4 minutes. The sample was diluted to a certain multiple and NAD(P)H-Glo TM The amount of residual NADH in the sample was determined using the Detection System kit (Promega) according to the standard test method, and the interference effect of 1C6 on EI phosphorylation of HPr was determined by the calculation formula: inhibition rate (100%) = (luminescence value of the experimental group - luminescence value of the control group) / (luminescence value of the blank group - luminescence value of the control group) * 100%.

[0086] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown: 0.6 mg / mL 1C6 can effectively block the phosphorylation of HPr protein by EI, with an inhibition rate of 80±9.12%.
