Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a protein function switching system controlled by a small molecule drug.
- protein function regulation methods are mainly divided into three categories: 1 using small molecules or light to regulate the binding or dissociation of two heterodimers; 2 using small molecules to regulate protein structure changes; 3 using small molecules to regulate protein stability Sex.
- the techniques involved in the regulation of each type of protein function are described below:
- CID chemical inducers of dimerization
- FK506 the immunosuppressive drug FK506.
- FKBP12 FK506 binding protein
- calcineurin FK506 binding protein
- FK1012 FK506 binding protein
- rapamycin a macrocyclic natural product that mediates the interaction between FKBP12 and the FRB domain of mTOR (Brown et al., 1994). If the two proteins of interest are fused to FKBP and FRB, respectively, they can be close to each other in the presence of rapamycin, and rapamycin can rapidly achieve FKBP-FRB binding at low doses. However, cellular endogenous FKBP and mTOR compete with FKBP and FRB fusion proteins for binding to rapamycin, resulting in ineffective interactions. Binding of rapamycin to mTOR also leads to cell cycle arrest (Haruki et al., 2008).
- the optimized method to obtain Rimiducid-regulated FKBP-FRB dimerization can effectively reduce the CID off-target effect by site-directed mutagenesis of rapamycin derivatization and FKBP or FRB domain (Patent No.: US2015/065629) .
- the dexamethasone-methotrexate (Dex-Mtx) complex induces an interaction between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).
- GR glucocorticoid receptor
- DHFR dihydrofolate reductase
- Mtx is an inhibitor of DHFR, which limits its use.
- trimethoprim-SLF (TMP-SLF) compound triggers the interaction between the DHFR-FKBP12 fusions (Czlapinski et al., 2008). This compound does not bind endogenous proteins, but these small molecules are expensive and require multiple steps of synthesis, which limits their widespread use.
- Abscisic acid is one of the hormones that stimulate plant development. It inhibits protein phosphatase (PP2Cs) by binding to pyribactin resistance (PYR)/PYR1-like (PYL) (Cutler et al., 2010; patent number: US2012043121). After merging the PYL and PP2C domains with the DNA binding domain Gal4 and the transcriptional activation domain VP64, respectively, Gal4 transcriptional activity can be reconstituted.
- Another phytohormone, gibberellin (GA3) can also be used as CID. GA3 binds to GID1 and promotes its interaction with GAI (Hirano et al., 2008; Miyamoto et al., 2012). Plant hormones are relatively economical, safe and responsive, making them useful.
- the protein of interest is split into two inactive fragments, and small molecules of specific compounds can induce association of these fragments, thereby restoring the structure and function of the target protein. This process is also called fragment complementation.
- Muir and colleagues developed an intein-based conditional protein splicing system (Mootz and Muir, 2002). The intein is divided into N- and C-terminal halves. When present alone, both inteins are inactive, but once they are close to each other, an active domain is formed, and the proteins at both ends are spliced together to form an activity. protein. For example, two former fusions are between FKBP and maltose binding protein (MBP), which is fused between the FRB and His tags.
- MBP maltose binding protein
- fusions dimerize under rapamycin induction and the intein domain is close, which restores intein splicing activity and leads to the formation of His-tagged MBP.
- Intein splicing is an irreversible process, and the major disadvantage of intein-based fragment-complementing systems is the lack of reversibility.
- conditional protein degradation is accomplished using the ubiquitin-proteasome system, so the regulation of protein stability can be achieved by using small molecules to regulate various aspects of protein degradation.
- Degradants degrons
- Most degradation-mediated degradation is accomplished by the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway, or by autophagy.
- a number of degrading sequences have been identified, for example: ddFKBP is an unstable domain (DD domain) that is rapidly degraded after expression.
- DD domain unstable domain
- the chemical small molecule shield-1 can bind this structure to make it stable without rapid degradation.
- the target protein is bound to ddFKBP, and the stability and degradation process of the protein can be effectively regulated by shield-1 (Banaszynski et al., 2006).
- ecDHFR can also regulate its own stability by binding to trimethoprim (Iwamoto et al., 2010; patent number: 09487787).
- the plant hormone binding domain (AID) IAA17 binds to TIR1 mediated by indoleacetic acid and is recognized by ubiquitin ligase and is degraded by ubiquitination in one step (Nishimura et al., 2009; :US20120115232).
- the existing protein activity control technologies mainly include: 1. Using rapamycin to regulate the polymerization and dissociation of FKBP and FRB; 2. Using the interaction between abscisic acid regulation (PYR) and PYR1-like (PYL) 3. Using gibberellin to regulate the interaction between CID and GAI; 4. Using intein to achieve splicing of two-stage protein; 5. Using regulatable degradants to achieve regulation of fusion protein activity, such as shield-1 regulation of ddFKBP fusion The activity of the protein, TMP regulates the activity of the DHFR fusion protein, and the acetic acid regulates the activity of the AID fusion protein.
