背景技术
传统的生物合成系统是指通过模式生物细菌、真菌、植物细胞或动物细胞等表达外源基因的一种分子生物学技术。随着科学技术的发展,无细胞表达体系,也称为体外蛋白合成系统,应运而生。体外蛋白合成系统是指以外源目的mRNA或DNA为模板,通过人工控制补加蛋白质合成所需的底物和转录、翻译相关蛋白因子等物质,能实现目的蛋白质的合成。体外蛋白合成系统表达蛋白质无需进行质粒构建、转化、细胞培养、细胞收集和破碎步骤,是一种相对快速、省时、便捷的蛋白质表达方式。
商业上的体外合成系统有两种:一种以预先体外转录获得的mRNA作为模板翻译合成蛋白质,另一种是将体外转录与体外翻译同时进行,以DNA为模板合成mRNA然后合成蛋白质。这两种系统都比较复杂且实验要求较高,需要使用者预先进行体外转录实验以获得足够多的mRNA模板,或者需要预先提供大量的DNA或者高浓度的质粒作为模板(模板的质量甚至大于合成蛋白质的质量)。这些弊端增加了使用者的操作时间、制造成本、及实验复杂性,同时也大大限制了生物合成的效率和产量。因此,开发一种更简单、方便、高效率、高产量、低成本的体外生物合成系统已成为基础生物研究领域的迫切需要。

具体实施方式
经过广泛而深入的研究,通过大量实践和摸索,首次发明了一种经优化的可将DNA复制与体外无细胞转录、翻译相偶联或整合的三合一体系(DNA-to-Protein,D2P)。D2P体系可用极微量的模板量(用量可降低2-4个数量级或者更多),既可以有效地降低成本,可同时高效快速合成DNA,RNA和蛋白质,大大降低了无细胞合成系统的使用复杂性与成本。与商业上的所有无细胞蛋白表达体系相比,本发明提供的D2P体外无细胞表达系统可以利用极少量的(纳克-微克)DNA,连续、简便、高效地合成特定蛋白质。具体地,用本发明的体外无细胞表达系统,所合成的荧光素酶活性的相对光单位值可高达目前商业化体系(如兔子网织红细胞体外表达体系)的约60倍,节省了使用者约4-6h的准备时间,100-500倍左右的模板成本。
一、DNA-to-Protein(D2P)偶联生物合成体系的理论构建
1.科学背景
“中心法则”是地球上生物发生发展的基本原理。它是遗传信息从DNA传递给DNA,即完成DNA的复制过程,以及从DNA传递给RNA,再从RNA传递给蛋白质,即完成遗传信息的转录和翻译的过程。这是所有有细胞结构的生物所遵循的核心法则。现代生物学的进步在很大程度上是建立在对于这一法则的理解和应用上的。比如核酸扩增技术(PCR),分子克隆,基因组改造,细胞信号调控,神经网络,疾病原理和治疗,以及重组蛋白质的表达,等等。近20年来,随着基因测序,组学,计算机和互联网技术的发展,生物学研究也取得了大量革命性的进步。然而,组成生物核心物质的DNA,RNA,特别是蛋白质的合成和制备却依然停留在二三十年以前的水平,大大制约了相关生物学研究和和医药研发的进步。开发一种高产量、低成本的体外蛋白质生物合成系统,已成为世界范围的迫切需要。
目前蛋白质的合成方法可以分为两种:传统的细胞蛋白质合成和体外无细胞蛋白合成。传统的蛋白质合成方法起源于1970年代,是指通过模式生物细菌、真菌、植物细胞或动物细胞等表达外源基因的一种分子生物学技术[1-2]。随着科学技术的发展,无细胞表达体系也称为体外蛋白合成系统在1990年代应运而生[3-5],其是以外源目的mRNA或DNA为蛋白质合成模板,通过人工控制补加蛋白质合成所需的底物和转录、翻译相关蛋白因子等物质,能实现目的蛋白质的合成。体 外翻译系统中表达蛋白质无需进行质粒构建、转化、细胞培养、细胞收集和破碎步骤,是一种相对快速、省时、便捷的蛋白质表达方式。
然而,由于体外蛋白质合成体系的制备繁琐,添加辅助因子复杂,使得目前市场上所有的体外蛋白质合成产品都活性较低,且极其昂贵(100-1000倍于传统细胞合成)。目前仅见于极个别实验室中少量的活性测定和实验尝试中。发展高效、便捷、低成本的蛋白质合成方法,无疑将成为推动未来生物工业革命,科技进步,医药研发,药物生产的蒸汽机车,对于整个生物产业的进步具有革命性的作用。
基于发明人在蛋白质合成领域基础理论、真核细胞中蛋白质合成机制、及其相关酶、和催化功能,等的超过20年的研究,我们认为最高效的生物合成系统应该来自于大自然的设计。
2.基本原理
大自然中细胞会保持持续的分裂,复制,生长,不间断地,大量地制造DNA,RNA和蛋白质。以简单的大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli,E.coli)为例,依照它们20-30分钟的复制速度,它(细胞体积1立方微米,重量1pg,干重0.4pg,DNA 0.017pg,RNA 0.10pg,蛋白质0.20pg)生物合成的速度是:34μg/mL/hour DNA,200μg/mL/hour RNA,400μg/mL/hour蛋白质[6-8]。复制放大比例为DNA:RNA:Protein=1:5.9:12。真核的酵母细胞(Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Sc),依照它们90分钟的复制速度,它(细胞体积73立方微米,重量79pg,干重40pg,DNA 0.06pg,RNA 4pg,蛋白质20pg)生物合成的速度是:0.55μg/mL/hour DNA,36μg/mL/hour RNA,182μg/mL/hour蛋白质[9-12]。无论合成蛋白质的速度,还是从DNA到RNA到Protein的放大比例均远大于现有的体外蛋白质合成体系。
而这些制造过程的核心基础就是DNA-RNA-Protein的“中心法则”。其中每一步都是必需的,不能缺少。而实现高效率生物合成最基础的便是第一步的DNA的自我复制。例如,病毒是生物界中的复制效率最高的物种,然而当没有宿主时,其由于无法完成其自身DNA的复制(RNA病毒无法完成RNA到DNA,然后DNA复制),病毒的生长是完全停滞的。这一点也可以从不同物种中还是从DNA到RNA到Protein的放大比例看出:E.coli细胞的复制放大比例为DNA:RNA:Protein=1:5.9:12,酵母细胞的复制放大比例为DNA:RNA:Protein=1:64:330,人细胞的复制放大比例为DNA:RNA:Protein=1:2:20[8]。如果考虑到酿酒酵母(S.cerevisiae)和人细胞中分别有约75%和80%的基因组能够被转录,而且在酿酒酵母 和人细胞中,非编码RNA(non-coding RNA)在转录出的RNA中的比例分别超过95%和98%,只有少于5%(酵母)和2%(人)RNA编码蛋白质,则酵母细胞和人的复制放大比例分别为DNA:mRNA:Protein=1:4.27:440和DNA:mRNA:Protein=1:0.05:25[13-16]。因此只有充分利用整个“中心法则”,完整的建立DNA到RNA到Protein全部路径,才有可能最大限度的提示生物合成的效率和最终蛋白质制备的产量。
以此为依据,我们这里提出了全新的DNA-to-Protein(D2P)偶联体外无细胞生物合成理论,将“中心法则”中的三部:DNA复制,DNA到RNA的转录,RNA到蛋白质的翻译,全部放在体外,以偶联的方式,进行DNA,RNA,Protein的协同合成,以达到提高生物合成效率的目的。
3.技术架构
D2P技术的实现包括:核酸扩增技术,RNA聚合技术,和体外蛋白翻译技术。3a.核酸扩增技术包括非等温扩增技术和等温扩增技术。聚合酶链反应是核酸扩增技术的典型代表。但是PCR技术对于温度循环有依赖性,往往需要较高的温度对DNA模板进行变性和新合成DNA分子的扩增延伸,而高温能够引起体外合成体系中蛋白质因子的变性失活,所以不适合用于体外合成体系。与PCR技术相比,核酸等温扩增的特点是在特定的、比较温和的温度条件下实现核酸的扩增,因而可以将DNA复制、mRNA转录与蛋白合成进行体外偶联。同时,用于核酸等温扩增的DNA聚合酶,包括phi29 DNA聚合酶,T7 DNA聚合酶等在温度和扩增效率上都有较大的优势,这样就无需预先准备大量DNA分子,只需少量的DNA模板就可以实现蛋白质的体外合成。
该D2P体外合成体系中使用的phi29 DNA聚合酶,T7 DNA聚合酶并非是纯粹的野生型或者突变型,将根据体外合成体系的需要,进行DNA聚合酶的保真性,合成效率,延伸能力等方面的分子改造,与单链DNA结合蛋白的融合,或者几种等温聚合酶的组合,高效地应用于D2P的合成体系中,创造出高效的D2P偶联生物合成体系。
3b.该D2P体外合成体系中使用的T7RNA聚合酶具有特异性高和转录效率高的特性,能够快速高效地从DNA模板转录出大量mRNA分子。T7RNA聚合酶配合高效的体外蛋白翻译系统,又进一步的降低了对DNA分子的量的要求。
3c.综上所述,构建D2P偶联体外无细胞生物合成体系,实现由微量DNA(纳克-微克级)到大量蛋白质(微克-毫克级)的合成,理论上是可行的。

实验结果
1.体外DNA-to-Protein(D2P)的合成体系的原理。
如图1所示,DNA复制,mRNA转录和蛋白翻译是自然界中心法则主要遗传信息传递途径,也是此专利的核心理论。
2.不同体积的phi29扩增体系对于体外蛋白合成效率的影响
从图2可以看出,0.5-3μL的Phi29 DNA聚合酶扩增的DNA均可以用作体外转录与翻译偶联的体外蛋白合成体系。其中,无论是0.5μL还是3μL的DNA扩增体系用于体外蛋白合成的结果与正对照无明显差异,相对光单位值(Relative Light Unit,RLU)达到1×10e9。
3.测定反应不同天数的phi29 DNA扩增体系对体外蛋白合成的影响
从图3可以看出,phi29 DNA聚合酶反应时间为1-28天,含有荧光素酶基因的质粒为1ng,所合成的DNA并没有因时间长而产量增加或是降低。NC为负对照,没有DNA的体外合成体系。PC为正对照,DNA来自于PCR反应,约500ng。1-28天的phi29 DNA聚合酶复制的DNA仍可以用作转录与翻译偶联的体外蛋白合成体系。
4.不同浓度的phi29 DNA聚合酶扩增的DNA模板对体外蛋白合成体系的影响
从图4可以看出,当phi29 DNA聚合酶反应浓度为0.5mg/mL-0.8ug/mL时,扩增得到的DNA模板均可以用作转录与翻译偶联的体外蛋白合成体系,尤其0.8mg/mL-0.4ug/mL的phi29 DNA聚合酶复制的DNA与正对照无显著差异。
5.测定不同反应时间点的phi29 DNA扩增体系对体外蛋白合成体系的影响
从图5可以看出,随着反应时间的延长,phi29扩增出的DNA量经历一个逐渐增加然后到达平台的过程,显示为合成的eGFP的量逐渐增加,然后达到一个平台。从合成的eGFP的量来判断,在反应进行6h后扩增的DNA量就已经达到平台。从图6可以看出,phi29扩增产生的DNA量同样在6h达到了最大值,与合成的eGFP产量的趋势类似。所以通常可以把phi29 DNA扩增体系的反应时间最少定为6h,通常为过夜反应。
6.使用Western Blot和荧光SDS-PAGE的方法检测IVDTT合成的目标蛋白
从图7可以看出,在加入含有eGFP编码序列质粒的IVDTT体系的泳道1中,Western Blot检测到的条带的分子量大小与eGFP的理论分子量(26.7KDa)非常接近,而且使用的是抗eGFP的抗体,综上IVDTT合成的目标蛋白是eGFP。从图8可以看出,在加入含有eGFP编码序列质粒的IVDTT体系的泳道1中,检测到的荧光条带的分子量大小与eGFP的理论分子量(26.7KDa)非常接近,而且使用的激发光和受激后的发射光的波长特征与eGFP类似,这表明IVDTT体系中检测到的荧光信号是由合成的eGFP蛋白发出的。综上所述,IVDTT体系能够合成正确折叠并能受激发出荧光的有活性的eGFP蛋白,而eGFP蛋白可以用于IVDTT体系合成目标蛋白的指示标签。
7.IVDTT体系能够合成蛋白质Ubiquitin
从图9可以看出,合成的融合蛋白Ubiquitin-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到72RFU和88RFU,而阴性对照(NC)的荧光值分别为22RFU和35RFU,表明IVDTT体系中合成了Ubiquitin-eGFP。单独的eGFP蛋白作为阳性对照,其荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到了207RFU和232RFU。
8.IVDTT体系能够合成p53核心结构域
从图10可以看出,合成的融合蛋白p53-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到256RFU和354RFU,而阴性对照(NC)的荧光值分别为16RFU和35RFU,表明IVDTT体系中合成了p53-eGFP。单独的eGFP蛋白作为阳性对照,其荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到了231RFU和363RFU。
9.IVDTT体系能够合成膜蛋白β2AR
从图11可以看出,合成的融合蛋白β2AR-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到271RFU和362RFU,而阴性对照(NC)的荧光值分别为16RFU和35RFU,表明IVDTT体系中合成了β2AR-eGFP。单独的eGFP蛋白作为阳性对照,其荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到了231RFU和363RFU。
10.IVDTT体系能够合成膜蛋白AQP1

11.IVDTT体系能够合成干扰素IFN-α2A
从图13可以看出,合成的融合蛋白IFN-α2A-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到399 RFU和562 RFU,而阴性对照(NC)的荧光值分别为16RFU和35RFU,表明IVDTT体系中合成了IFN-α2A-eGFP。单独的eGFP蛋白作为阳性对照,其荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到了231RFU和363RFU。
12.IVDTT体系能够分别合成anti-PD-L1的单克隆抗体Atezolizumab的重链 和轻链
从图14和图15可以看出,合成的融合蛋白ate-H-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到96RFU和179RFU,合成的融合蛋白ate-L-eGFP受激发后发出的荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到378RFU和544RFU,而阴性对照(NC)的荧光值分别为16RFU和35RFU,表明IVDTT体系中分别合成了ate-H-eGFP和ate-L-eGFP。单独的eGFP蛋白作为阳性对照,其荧光值在3小时和20小时分别达到了231RFU和363RFU。
13.体外DNA-to-Protein(D2P)的合成体系的优势
从图16和表1可以看出,体外DNA-to-Protein(D2P)的合成体系的优势在于用微量的DNA当模板,常温下快速地实现了体外蛋白的表达,并能长期保存,大大降低DNA的成本,缩短制备DNA模板所需的时间、步骤,提高体外蛋白质合成的效率。
