Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a specific binding polypeptide, i.e., a peptide aptamer, that specifically recognizes the allergen protein Ses i 2, and in particular, a method for screening a peptide aptamer of the allergen protein Ses i 2 based on phage display technology. Background Art

[0002] Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a global agricultural crop with high oil, protein, and bioactive ingredient contents, and has effects such as regulating the stomach and intestines, moisturizing the skin, and anti-aging.

[0003] In the Uniprot protein database, Ses i 2 is named as a 2S seed storage protein, also known as 2S storage albumin and β-globulin, belonging to the prolamin superfamily, containing 148 amino acids, and having a relative molecular mass of 7×103. Related research indicates that Ses i 2 can be recognized by the sera of 80% of sesame-allergic patients and is one of the main allergens of sesame. Ses i 2 has the highest homology with cashew Ana o 3, hazelnut Cor a 14.0101, and Jug r 1, followed by peanut Ara h 2, Ara h 6, and Ara h7, making it possible for Sesi 2 to have clinical cross-allergic reactions with other nuts. Sesi 2 has strong resistance to digestion by pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin in its natural state, and there are no glycosylation modification sites in its amino acid sequence. Due to the strong anti-digestibility of Sesi 2 and the high possibility of clinical cross-allergic reactions, Ses i 2 has a strong sensitization risk.

[0004] Peptide aptamers are extremely small and simple molecules composed of 5-20 amino acid residues. They are small in size and are usually embedded as a loop in a stable protein scaffold. They have good stability and affinity, low production costs, and can be obtained in large quantities through chemical synthesis or bacterial expression. Due to these advantages, peptide aptamers have received extensive attention in the past decade and have been applied to the fields of immunoassay, theranostics, and biosensors. In this application, peptide aptamers are also referred to as specific binding polypeptides.

[0005] The peptide phage library of phage display screening technology has a large capacity, containing billions of variants, and can interact with target molecules such as proteins, cells, toxins, and metals. The polypeptides or proteins displayed can maintain their relative spatial structures and biological activities, and it is an effective technology for screening, identifying, and isolating affinity peptides. After 3-5 rounds of biological screening, peptides with the highest affinity for the target molecule are enriched.

[0006] Although peptide aptamers have been obtained through phage display technology in the prior art, there is no report on screening peptide aptamers against sesame allergen proteins. It is of great significance to screen Sesi 2 peptide aptamers with high affinity and specificity through phage display technology and apply them to the detection of allergen proteins.

The method uses the sesame allergen Ses i 2 protein as the target protein and a 12-mer phage display library for multiple rounds of screening. The enrichment effect is evaluated by detecting the titer of phages in the eluate of each round until obvious enrichment occurs.

[0111] (5) Observe the next day to see if blue plaques appear.

[0112] (6) Repeat steps (1) - (5) to complete the subsequent experiments: the second round of elution → the second round of elution product titration → the second round of enrichment → the second round of enrichment product titration → the third round of elution → the third round of elution product titration. The titration of the elution products in the three rounds is as Figure 1 .

[0113] The results of the three rounds of biopanning are shown in Table 1. The phage elution titers in the first, second, and third rounds are 1.68×10 -3 , 8.8×10 -3 , 4×10 -2 respectively. The output of phages is relatively low, which is due to the elution of a large number of non-specific and relatively weak specific phages. With the progress of the biological screening, the recovery rate of phages gradually increases, and the enrichment efficiency increases from 1.68×10 -3 to 4×10 -2 , indicating that the peptide phage display library specifically binds to the Ses i 2 protein and is effectively enriched, and phages specifically binding to the Ses i2 protein are enriched.

[0118] (2) Find the 36-gene sequence between two restriction enzyme sites and translate it into an amino acid sequence on the website https: / / web.expasy.org / translate / . The translation result from 3’-5’ is the candidate polypeptide sequence displayed by the phage (Table 2). Synthesize the polypeptide fragment of the corresponding peptide aptamer according to the polypeptide sequence.

[0125] (3) Program setting: baseline detection, binding, dissociation.

[0126] (4) Chip position: Place the chip in columns 8 and 9 and wet the chip.

[0127] (5) Run the program.

[0128] Preferably, it further includes step (IX) verifying the affinity between the polypeptide and Ses i 2 protein by bio-layer interferometry

[0129] Because the Ses i 2 protein is tagged with His, the Ses i 2 protein is specifically captured by the NTA chip. After the signal reaches 5.5 nm, it binds to Ses i 2-1, Ses i 2-2, Ses i 2-3, Ses i 2-4, and Ses i 2-5 respectively.

[0130] The method includes:

[0131] (1) Dilute the Ses i 2 protein to 20 μg / ml and solidify it for 600 s.

[0132] (2) Dilute the peptide segments Ses i 2-1, Ses i 2-2, Ses i 2-3, Ses i 2-4, and Ses i 2-5 with PBST + 5% DMSO buffer to 1 mM and add them to a 96-well plate. Among them: add PBST + 5% DMSO to columns 3 and 11; add the diluted Ses i 2-1, Ses i 2-2, and Ses i 2-3 to A4, B4, and C4 in sequence; add the diluted Ses i 2-4 and Ses i 2-5 to B5 and C5 in sequence; add PBST + 5% DMSO to D4 and D5 for 0-concentration deduction; add nickel chloride and glycine·HCl to columns 10 and 12 respectively for chip regeneration.

[0133] (3) Program setting

[0134]

[0135]

[0136] (4) Chip position: A total of 6 chips are used in this experiment and placed in columns 8 and 9. The chips are wetted 10 min before the start of the experiment. The wetting buffer is 1×PBS.

[0137] (5) Run the program.

[0138] After baseline acquisition, protein immobilization, binding, and dissociation, the binding data of the protein to 5 peptide segments are as Figure 2 . It can be seen from the dissociation binding curve that the binding signal of the Ses i 2-1 peptide segment is relatively strong and the dissociation is relatively slow, and the binding effect is good. The binding signal of the Ses i2-2 peptide segment is weak and the dissociation is fast, and the affinity is poor. The affinity constant KD value, association constant Kon, and dissociation constant Kdis of each peptide are shown in Table 3. Among them, the affinity of the Ses i 2-1 peptide segment reaches 5.01x10 -6 M, which is 2-5 orders of magnitude higher than the other 4 peptide segments, and the Ses i 2-1 peptide segment has the strongest affinity. Finally, the Ses i 2-1 peptide segment is selected as the aptamer of the sesame allergen Sesi 2 peptide.
