结核分枝杆菌ICL mRNA特异性10-23脱氧核酶切割 活性的鉴定及其切割特点 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
为鉴定结核分枝杆菌异柠檬酸裂合梅(ICL)特异性的10-23DRz在无细胞体系切割ICL mRNA的活性,并探讨其在不同条件下以及联合应用时对靶mRNA的切割特点,采用计算机软件模拟ICL mRNA的二级结构,据此选择适合的待切割靶点并设计针对相应靶点的特异性10-23DRz(DZ1~DZ5).PCR法扩增获得icl基因并克隆入质粒pET32a+.采用T7 RNA聚合酶体外转录法获取ICL全长mRNA后分别用DZ1~DZ5在无细胞体系中对ICL mRNA进行切割,切割产物经变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胺电泳后用银染法鉴定各DRzs的活性.选择切割活性最强的DZ4考察不同10-23DRz剂量、不同反应时间、不同镁离子浓度条件下及不同错配或突变10-23DRz的切割特点.联合应用DZ1、DZ4及DZ5在无细胞体系中对ICL mRNA进行切割,检测10-23DRz联合应用对切割效率的影响.结果表明,DZ1、DZ3、DZ4及DZ5可在无细胞体系中有效地切割ICL mRNA,其切割效率在30.8%~64.5%之间.对DZ4切割活性的检测发现,其对靶mRNA的切割具有剂量和时间的依赖性;在2~20 μmol/L范围内,DZ4的切割活性与Mg2+浓度呈正相关;DZ4单侧底物结合臂上含一个不与靶mRNA配对的碱基时其切割效率大大降低,两侧底物结合臂上各含一个不配对的碱基或活性中心域第6位出现碱基突变(G→C)时,DZ4完全丧失切割活性.联合应用2种或2种以上10-23DRz可显著增强对底物RNA的切割效率.10-23 DRz特异、有效地切割结核分枝杆菌ICL全长mRNA并显示一定的叠加效应,有望用于抗结核分枝杆菌潜伏感染的基因治疗. 相似文献

前基因组mRNA是HBV(Hepatitis B virus)基因表达和复制的重要中间产物,全长的前基因组mRNA分子具有复杂易变的二级结构,是设计抑制HBV的核酶时所必须考虑的因素.我们使用多个最新的计算机软件对HBV前基因组mRNA二级结构进行模拟、分析,在全面分析核酶的可作用位点的基础上设计三个针对不同基因靶位的锤头状核酶,并对它们在细胞中对HBV的抑制作用进行研究.结果表明在HBV前基因组mRNA上存在几个高度复杂二级结构的区域,可能对核酶完全不敏感,而S、C、X基因的编码区是合适的核酶作用位点,都可达到对HBV的有效抑制,而且X基因位点的核酶对HBV的各种mRNA的抑制作用最为明显,是设计针对HBV核酶时应该优先考虑的位点. 相似文献

Specific inhibition of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) expression, which is encoded by multidrug resistance gene-1 (MDR1), is considered a well-respected strategy to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). Deoxyribozymes (DRz) are catalytic nucleic acids that could cleave a target RNA in sequence-specific manner. However, it is difficult to select an effective target site for DRz in living cells. In this study, target sites of DRz were screened according to MDR1 mRNA secondary structure by RNA structure analysis software. Twelve target sites on the surface of MDR1 mRNA were selected. Accordingly, 12 DRzs were synthesized and their suppression effect on the MDR phenotype in breast cancer cells was confirmed. The results showed that 4 (DRz 2, 3, 4, 9) of the 12 DRzs could, in a dose-dependent response, significantly suppress MDR1 mRNA expression and restore chemosensitivity in breast cancer cells with MDR phenotype. This was especially true of DRz 3, which targets the 141 site purine-pyrimidine dinucleotide. Compared with antisense oligonucleotide or anti-miR-27a inhibitor, DRz 3 was more efficient in suppressing MDR1 mRNA and Pgp protein expression or inhibiting Pgp function. The chemosensitivity assay also proved DRz 3 to be the best one to reverse the MDR phenotype. The present study suggests that screening targets of DRzs according to MDR1 mRNA secondary structure could be a useful method to obtain workable ones. We provide evidence that DRzs (DRz 2, 3, 4, 9) are highly efficient at reversing the MDR phenotype in breast carcinoma cells and restoring chemosensitivity. 相似文献

Throughout biology, a broad range of biochemical and physiological processes oscillate with approxi-mately 24-h rhythms or circadian rhythms as synchro-nizing with the rhythmic environment (day/night cy-cles, seasons, etc.). The circadian rhythms are under the control of an endogenous oscillator, the circadian clock[1]. Period (per), the first genetically identified circadian mutant[2], is assumed to be a key molecule in the regulation and functioning of the mammalian cir-cadian clock which is… 相似文献

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains one of the most significant human pathogens since its discovery in 1882. An estimated 1.5 million people died from tubercle bacillus (TB) in 2006, and globally, there were an estimated 9.27 million incident cases of TB in 2007. Glyoxylate bypass pathway occurs in a wide range of pathogens and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Isocitrate lyase (ICL) can catalyses the first step of this pathway, and reversibly cleaves isocitrate into succinate and glyoxylate. So, ICL may represent a good drug target for the treatment of tuberculosis. ICL was cloned, expressed, and purified, and a high-throughput screen (HTS) developed to screen active molecule from a mannich base compounds library for inhibition of ICL. This assay had signal to noise (S/N) of 650.6990 and Z' factor of 0.8141, indicating that the assay was suitable for HTS. Screening of a collection of 124 mannich base compounds resulted in the identification of one mannich base compound, which has a significant inhibitory activity. So, a new family of compound was first reported to inhibit the activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ICL. This family of compound might offer new avenue to explore better anti-tuberculosis and fungi drugs. 相似文献

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) plays a number of critical roles in bacterial persistence, stress, and virulence. PolyP intracellular metabolism is regulated by the polyphosphate kinase (PPK) protein families, and inhibition of PPK activity is a potential approach to disrupting polyP-dependent processes in pathogenic organisms. Here, we biochemically characterized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) PPK2 and developed DNA-based aptamers that inhibit the enzyme's catalytic activities. MTB PPK2 catalyzed polyP-dependent phosphorylation of ADP to ATP at a rate 838 times higher than the rate of polyP synthesis. Gel filtration chromatography suggested MTB PPK2 to be an octamer. DNA aptamers were isolated against MTB PPK2. Circular dichroism revealed that aptamers grouped into two distinct classes of secondary structure; G-quadruplex and non-G-quadruplex. A selected G-quadruplex aptamer was highly selective for binding to MTB PPK2 with a dissociation constant of 870 nM as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. The binding between MTB PPK2 and the aptamer was exothermic yet primarily driven by entropy. This G-quadruplex aptamer inhibited MTB PPK2 with an IC(50) of 40 nM and exhibited noncompetitive inhibition kinetics. Mutational mechanistic analysis revealed an aptamer G-quadruplex motif is critical for enzyme inhibition. The aptamer was also tested against Vibrio cholerae PPK2, where it showed an IC(50) of 105 nM and insignificant inhibition against more distantly related Laribacter hongkongensis PPK2. 相似文献
