聚阳离子基因载体系统由于安全性好和便于设计等优点,近年来在基因治疗中的应用发展迅速.在进行基因药物的体内靶向输送时,目前国际上主要通过在基因输送系统中修饰聚乙二醇(PEG)和靶向分子来提高体内输送的稳定性和靶向性.PEG的修饰可能会遮蔽靶向分子的功能呈现,因此建立定量分析方法评价PEG修饰对靶向结合作用的影响非常重要.将连接有表皮生长因子(EGF)的聚赖氨酸(PLL)基因载体作为研究模型,建立BIAcore检测方法,比较PLL-EGF,PEG7000修饰的PLL-EGF,PEG20000修饰的PLL-EGF对表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的结合和解离速率,评价PEG修饰对PLL-EGF靶向功能呈现的影响.结果表明,PEG7000的修饰降低了EGF和EGFR之间的结合速率,提高了解离速率,整体减弱了靶向分子的靶向结合能力.PEG20000的修饰进一步减弱靶向分子功能的呈现.因此在进行靶向型聚阳离子基因输送系统设计时,考察PEG修饰对靶向结合能力的影响程度非常重要.该研究结果也对其他基因载体系统的设计提供必要的参考. 相似文献

基因治疗是将可具有治疗性的基因导入病变细胞以达到治疗遗传性疾病或获得性功能缺损疾病的治疗手段,是一种极具潜力的新型治疗方法。然而基因治疗面临着一系列一陆床应用障碍,其中缺乏理想的基因输送载体是首要问题。绝大多数基因治疗方案受困缺乏安全有效的基因输送手段,载体要达到目的地发挥作用,需要克服一系列复杂的体内生物屏障,包括细胞外屏障和细胞内屏障。目前基因输送载体主要分为病毒载体和非病毒载体,其中病毒载体天然进化至可进入宿主细胞,具有输送效率高,靶向性好的特点,但存在长期安全性的缺点。非病毒载体主要包括阳离子脂质体和阳离子聚合物,由于易于制备和无免疫原性、安全性好,被认为是更有潜力的输送载体,是目前研究的重点。本文结合基因治疗输送屏障的理论基础及临床研究,对基因输送载体系统的现状进行了综述。 相似文献

The phi29 packaging RNA (pRNA) is an essential component in the phi29 bacteriophage DNA packaging motor, the strongest biomolecular motor known today. Utilizing Mg2+-dependent intermolecular base pairing interactions between two 4-nucleotide loops within the pRNA procapsid binding domain, multiple copies of pRNA form a ring-shaped complex that is indispensable for packaging motor function. To understand pRNA structural organization and pRNA/pRNA interaction, studies were carried out on pRNA closed dimers, the simplest functional pRNA complex believed to be the building blocks for assembling the oligomeric ring. Tertiary folding and interactions in various pRNA mutants were evaluated based on measured closed dimer affinity that is directly linked to the proper positioning of the interacting loops. The data revealed that the procapsid binding domain contains two autonomous modules that are capable of interacting noncovalently to form a fully active species in pRNA/pRNA interaction. Deleting the 2'-hydroxyl groups in one of the interacting loops weakens the dimer affinity by 125-fold, suggesting potential tertiary interactions involving these 2'-hydroxyl groups. The results provide evidence that nonbase functional groups are involved in pRNA folding and interaction and lead to a simple model that describes the pRNA monomer configuration in terms of three arms spanning a hinge. The functional constructs developed here will aid biophysical and biochemical investigations of pRNA structure and function, as well as developments of pRNA-based technology for nanoscience and gene therapy. 相似文献

A highly efficient method for the inhibition of bacteriophage phi 29 assembly was developed with the use of mutant forms of the viral procapsid (or packaging) RNA (pRNA) indispensable for phi 29 DNA packaging. Phage phi 29 assembly was severely reduced in vitro in the presence of mutant pRNA and completely blocked in vivo when the host cell expressed mutant pRNA. Addition of 45% mutant pRNA resulted in a reduction of infectious virion production by 4 orders of magnitude, indicating that factors involved in viral assembly can be targets for efficient and specific antiviral treatment. The mechanism leading to the high efficiency of inhibition was attributed to two pivotal features. First, the pRNA contains two separate, essential functional domains, one for procapsid binding and the other for a DNA-packaging role other than procapsid binding. Mutation of the DNA-packaging domain resulted in a pRNA with no DNA-packaging activity but intact procapsid binding competence. Second, multiple copies of the pRNA were involved in the packaging of one genome. This higher-order dependence of pRNA in viral replication concomitantly resulted in its higher-order inhibitory effect. This finding suggested that the collective DNA-packaging activity of multiple copies of pRNA could be disrupted by the incorporation of perhaps an individual mutant pRNA into the group. Although this mutant pRNA could not be used for the inhibition of the replication of other viruses directly, the principle of using molecules with two functional domains and multiple-copy involvement as targets for antiviral agents could be applied to certain viral structural proteins, enzymes, and other factors or RNAs involved in the viral life cycle. This principle also implies a strategy for gene therapy, intracellular immunization, or construction of transgenic plants resistant to viral infection. 相似文献

To investigate whether parallel complementary RNA (pRNA) could induce gene-specific silencing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pRNA of the mexA gene was expressed in it. Compared to the control strains, the strain expressing pRNA of mexA showed a 50% decrease in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of several antimicrobial agents and a twofold increase
in the initial accumulation rate of ethidium bromide, all of which are substrates of the MexAB-OprM efflux pump. These results
suggest that gene-specific silencing was induced by pRNA. This is the first time that such a route for gene silencing has
been reported in a bacterium other than Escherichia coli. Gene-specific silencing induced by pRNA may be useful as a novel biotechnology tool for gene regulation in prokaryotes. 相似文献

Direct imaging or counting of RNA molecules has been difficult owing to its relatively low electron density for EM and insufficient resolution in AFM. Bacteriophage phi29 DNA-packaging motor is geared by a packaging RNA (pRNA) ring. Currently, whether the ring is a pentagon or hexagon is under fervent debate. We report here the assembly of a highly sensitive imaging system for direct counting of the copy number of pRNA within this 20-nm motor. Single fluorophore imaging clearly identified the quantized photobleaching steps from pRNA labeled with a single fluorophore and concluded its stoichiometry within the motor. Almost all of the motors contained six copies of pRNA before and during DNA translocation, identified by dual-color detection of the stalled intermediates of motors containing Cy3-pRNA and Cy5-DNA. The stalled motors were restarted to observe the motion of DNA packaging in real time. Heat-denaturation analysis confirmed that the stoichiometry of pRNA is the common multiple of 2 and 3. EM imaging of procapsid/pRNA complexes clearly revealed six ferritin particles that were conjugated to each pRNA ring. 相似文献

The oligomeric ring of prohead RNA (pRNA) is an essential component of the ATP-driven DNA packaging motor of bacteriophage ?29. The A-helix of pRNA binds the DNA translocating ATPase gp16 (gene product 16) and the CCA bulge in this helix is essential for DNA packaging in vitro. Mutation of the bulge by base substitution or deletion showed that the size of the bulge, rather than its sequence, is primary in DNA packaging activity. Proheads reconstituted with CCA bulge mutant pRNAs bound the packaging ATPase gp16 and the packaging substrate DNA-gp3, although DNA translocation was not detected with several mutants. Prohead/bulge-mutant pRNA complexes with low packaging activity had a higher rate of ATP hydrolysis per base pair of DNA packaged than proheads with wild-type pRNA. Cryoelectron microscopy three-dimensional reconstruction of proheads reconstituted with a CCA deletion pRNA showed that the protruding pRNA spokes of the motor occupy a different position relative to the head when compared to particles with wild-type pRNA. Therefore, the CCA bulge seems to dictate the orientation of the pRNA spokes. The conformational changes observed for this mutant pRNA may affect gp16 conformation and/or subsequent ATPase-DNA interaction and, consequently, explain the decreased packaging activity observed for CCA mutants. 相似文献

Many nucleic acid-binding proteins and the AAA+ family form hexameric rings, but the mechanism of hexamer assembly is unclear. It is generally believed that the specificity in protein/RNA interaction relies on molecular contact through a surface charge or 3D structure matching via conformational capture or induced fit. The pRNA of bacteriophage phi29 DNA-packaging motor also forms a ring, but whether the pRNA ring is a hexamer or a pentamer is under debate. Here, single molecule studies elucidated a mechanism suggesting the specificity and affinity in protein/RNA interaction relies on pRNA static ring formation. A combined pRNA ring-forming group was very specific for motor binding, but the isolated individual members of the ring-forming group bind to the motor nonspecifically. pRNA did not form a ring prior to motor binding. Only those RNAs that formed a static ring, via the interlocking loops, stayed on the motor. Single interlocking loop interruption resulted in pRNA detachment. Extension or reduction of the ring circumference failed in motor binding. This new mechanism was tested by redesigning two artificial RNAs that formed hexamer and packaged DNA. The results confirmed the stoichiometry of pRNA on the motor was the common multiple of two and three, thus, a hexamer. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the regulation of chromatin conformation and epigenetic patterns. lncRNA expression levels are widely taken as an indicator for functional properties. However, the role of RNA processing in modulating distinct features of the same lncRNA is less understood. The establishment of heterochromatin at rRNA genes depends on the processing of IGS‐rRNA into pRNA, a reaction that is impaired in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and activated only upon differentiation. The production of mature pRNA is essential since it guides the repressor TIP5 to rRNA genes, and IGS‐rRNA abolishes this process. Through screening for IGS‐rRNA‐binding proteins, we here identify the RNA helicase DHX9 as a regulator of pRNA processing. DHX9 binds to rRNA genes only upon ESC differentiation and its activity guides TIP5 to rRNA genes and establishes heterochromatin. Remarkably, ESCs depleted of DHX9 are unable to differentiate and this phenotype is reverted by the addition of pRNA, whereas providing IGS‐rRNA and pRNA mutants deficient for TIP5 binding are not sufficient. Our results reveal insights into lncRNA biogenesis during development and support a model in which the state of rRNA gene chromatin is part of the regulatory network that controls exit from pluripotency and initiation of differentiation pathways. 相似文献
