Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention patent belongs to the field of bioprobes, specifically, the whole gene encoded NAD based on resonance energy transfer. + The present invention relates to a protein probe, and to a method for preparing and applying the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, NAD in biological samples + The content can be detected by the following method.

[0003] 1) NAD + Colorimetric Kit:

[0004] NAD + The colorimetric kit first detects NAD through an enzymatic reaction. + After converting all of the dye molecules to NADH, the resulting NADH reduces the dye molecules, changing their absorbance. Finally, the concentration of the dye molecules is determined using a spectrophotometer to determine the NAD in the sample. + Estimate the concentration.

[0005] 2) High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry:

[0006] In high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, different fractions in a test sample are isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and their absorbance intensities are detected. Simultaneously with the high-performance liquid chromatography, the different fractions are ionized and enter a mass spectrometer, where the different fractions are qualified by their nucleocytoplasmic ratio and quantified by their ionic strength.

[0007] 3) Fluorescent protein probes based on changes in fluorescence intensity:

[0008] Protein engineering of NAD + The method involves designing a fluorescent protein probe that senses NAD. + The sensing protein was fused to a fluorescent protein, and NAD + The sensing protein is NAD +The conformational changes generated after specific binding with NAD can adjust the conformation of the fluorescent protein and further affect the optical characteristics such as quantum yield of the fluorescent protein. The intensity of the fluorescent signal emitted by the fluorescent protein in the probe depends on the NAD in the system. + Varies with concentration.

[0009] 4) Semisynthetic NAD based on resonance energy transfer + Protein probes:

[0010] The method utilizes the fluorescence or bioluminescence resonance energy transfer principle to detect NAD + The semi-synthetic protein probe was constructed by combining a recombinant protein (protein part) and a synthetic fluorescent ligand molecule (synthetic part) to detect NAD levels. + Such probes include luciferase (or fluorescent protein), NAD + The self-marker protein is fused to a binding protein and a self-marker protein, and the self-marker protein is covalently linked to one red fluorophore and one NAD + A synthetic molecule containing the ligand of the NAD binding protein is linked to the + The affinity of the binding protein and ligand determines the amount of NAD in the system. + In nature, the NAD in the sensor protein is regulated by the concentration + The binding protein does not bind to the ligand, the probe is in an open state, the fluorophore and luciferase (or fluorescent protein) are separated, resonance energy transfer does not occur, and the entire probe emits light specific to luciferase (or fluorescent protein). + If the concentration increases, NAD + When the binding protein binds to the ligand, the fluorophore approaches the luciferase (or fluorescent protein), and resonance energy transfer occurs, causing the entire probe to emit red light from the fluorophore. The color of the light emitted by the probe is determined by the NAD in the sample. + Since it changes depending on the concentration, the ratio of the luminescence intensities of luciferase (or fluorescent protein) and red fluorophore can be measured to determine the NAD in the system. +The concentration can be quantified.

[0011] NAD + Both the colorimetric kit and the high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method can measure NAD in living cells. + A single detection based on this method requires the disintegration of many cells (approximately 1 million), and this disintegration process results in the loss of cellular NAD. + The sample degradation process reduces the NAD concentration in cells while losing the temporal and spatial information of the concentration. + The NAD concentration can change, leading to incorrect results. In addition, it takes 10 to 30 minutes to detect a single sample, and it is dependent on large instruments, which severely limits the detection of large amounts of samples. + This is one of the rate-limiting steps in metabolic research and drug development.

[0012] Fluorescent probe-based live-cell NAD + The measurement method involves measuring NAD in living cells and subcellular structures. + It is difficult to measure the dynamic changes of NAD over a long period of time. The main reason is that current fluorescent probes must rely on fluorescence microimaging counting, which induces phototoxicity in fluorescence and makes it difficult to measure live cells over a long period of time. At the same time, the use of such probes relies on large precision instruments such as fluorescence microscopes, which limits the detection of large amounts of samples. In addition, such probes only measure NAD with a single wavelength fluorescence intensity signal. + By quantifying the concentration, the dynamic difference in the expression level of the probe molecule can be determined as NAD + Therefore, the use of such probes is complicated by the need to rely on internal standard fluorescent proteins of other colors as calibration tools. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0013] Semisynthetic NAD based on resonance energy transfer + The protein probe reacts with NAD via the principle of resonance energy transfer.+ It quantifies the concentration of the analyte by self-calibration, does not rely on a single wavelength, but by the dual wavelength light intensity ratio. However, this type of probe is composed of a recombinant protein and a synthetic fluorescent ligand molecule, so it is difficult to quantify the NAD in living cells. + For detection, cells can autonomously express only the fusion protein portion of the probe, while the synthetic molecule portion must be provided extracellularly. This dependency on extracellular synthetic molecules limits the application of such probes in conditions such as long-term observation of many live cell samples. [Means for solving the problem]

[0050] The present invention provides a method for the synthesis of NAD peptides based on resonance energy transfer. + We have newly realized a protein probe. In the background technology, all genes encode NAD+ The protein probe is not based on the principle of resonance energy transfer, but rather on the intensity of light emitted by the fluorescent protein. + The dynamic difference in the expression level of the probe molecule can be measured by NAD + In another background art, semi-synthetic design is used to detect NADs based on resonance energy transfer. + Although quantitative determination has been achieved and interference caused by the expression level of the probe molecule has been resolved, the use of semi-synthetic probes in living cells is limited due to the dependency on non-genetically encoded synthetic molecules. Compared to semi-synthetic probes (some of which are not amino acid sequences and cannot be encoded in cells), a difficult problem with fully gene-encoded probes is the difficulty of finding suitable protein fragments and design methods to achieve large conformational changes comparable to those of semi-synthetic probes. However, the present invention has overcome this problem. Furthermore, the NAD provided by the present invention + The protein probe is based on NAD resonance energy transfer. + Realize the quantification and probe of the whole genetic code, i.e., NAD based on the dual wavelength light intensity ratio + Not only does it realize self-calibration of probe signals such as quantification, but it also enables NAD in living cells without relying on synthetic fluorescent ligand molecules. + Monitoring is also possible.

Among them, the NAD used by this probe + The responder protein is a DNA ligase LigA mutant containing mutations at the domain interface residues (R68N / R163D or R68N / R163P). At the same time, this probe uses a novel ligation method to detect NAD +The response protein, resonance energy transfer donor, and acceptor are connected in series, specifically by deleting residue G225 of mScarlet, residue P5 of LigA, and residues G1, L2, and S3 of cpNluc, and incorporating a G4V mutation into the cpNluc fraction. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0052] [Figure 1A] Figure 1A illustrates the principle of detecting NAD+ molecule concentration using a resonance energy transfer-based NAD+ molecular probe according to the present invention. In the present invention, as shown in Figure 1A, when NAD+ responds to protein-unbound NAD+ molecules, the probe structure is in an "open" state, resulting in a large distance between the resonance energy transfer donor and acceptor, a low resonance energy transfer efficiency, and the entire probe emitting resonance energy transfer donor light. After NAD+ responds to protein-bound NAD+ molecules, its conformation changes from the "open" state to the "closed" state, bringing the resonance energy transfer donor and acceptor closer together, resulting in a high resonance energy transfer efficiency, and the probe emitting resonance energy transfer acceptor light. The change in resonance energy transfer efficiency due to the NAD+ molecule is ultimately expressed as a change in the emission wavelength intensity of the resonance energy transfer donor and acceptor in the probe. The ratio of the emission light intensities can further indicate the concentration of NAD+ molecules in the system. [Figure 1B] Figure 1B shows the change in the peak ratio at 590 nm and 440 nm when purified NAD molecular probes NADS1.0, NADS1.1, and NADS1.2 respond to different concentrations of NAD. The horizontal axis represents the logarithm of the NAD concentration, and the vertical axis represents the normalized light intensity ratio at 590 nm and 440 nm. [Figure 1C] Figure 1C shows bioluminescence spectrograms of purified NAD+ molecular probes NADS1.0, NADS1.1, and NADS1.2 (including NADS1.2) in response to different concentrations of NAD+. The horizontal axis is wavelength (nm) and the vertical axis is normalized bioluminescence intensity.

[0053] [Figure 2] Figure 2 shows the change in the peak ratio at 515 nm and 440 nm when the purified NAD+ molecular probe NADS2.0 responds to different concentrations of NAD+. The horizontal axis represents the logarithm of the NAD+ concentration, and the vertical axis represents the light intensity ratio at 515 nm and 440 nm. Figure 2B shows a bioluminescence spectrogram when the purified NAD+ molecular probe NADS2.0 responds to different concentrations of NAD+. The horizontal axis represents wavelength (nm), and the vertical axis represents normalized bioluminescence intensity.

[0054] [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows the change in the peak ratio at 585 nm and 515 nm when the purified NAD+ molecular probe NADS3.0 responds to different concentrations of NAD+. The horizontal axis represents the logarithm of the NAD+ concentration, and the vertical axis represents the light intensity ratio at 585 nm and 515 nm. Figure 3B shows a fluorescence spectrogram when the purified NAD+ molecular probe NADS3.0 responds to different concentrations of NAD+. The horizontal axis represents wavelength (nm), and the vertical axis represents normalized bioluminescence intensity.

[0055] [Figure 4] Figure 4 shows the change in the peak ratio at 590 nm and 440 nm when the purified NAD molecular probe NADS1.2 responds to different NAD analogs. The horizontal axis represents the logarithm of the NAD concentration, and the vertical axis represents the normalized light intensity ratio at 590 nm and 440 nm.

Figure 5B shows a graph of the change over time in the emission intensity ratios at 590 nm and 440 nm between the stable HEK293 control group and the different compound-treated groups. Figure 5C shows a graph of the mean light intensity ratios at 590 nm and 440 nm between the stable HEK293 control group and the different compound-treated groups. All P values ​​were calculated using unpaired, two-tailed Student's t tests. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
