Description

本発明は細胞のたんぱく質翻訳調節因子及びイニシエーションファクター並びに細胞のたんぱく質翻訳調節方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a cellular protein translation regulatory factor and initiation factor, and a cellular protein translation regulatory method.

たんぱく質翻訳はリボソームの仲介によってメッセンジャーRNA(以下、「mRNA」とする。)と転移RNA(以下、「tRNA」とする。)の相互作用により行われる。tRNAに備わったアンチコドンは相補的にmRNAに結合するがリボソームにも相互的に作用する。リボソームのtRNA結合部はP site(peptidyl trsnsferase center)と呼ばれ、高Mg2+濃度状態ではmRNAが存在しなくても結合が起こる。P siteは16SリボソームRNA(以下、「16SrRNA」という。)の特定の位置の塩基であろうと考えられている。カリフォルニア大学サンタクルーズのNoller HFらのグループはリボソームのsmall subunitの一部である16SrRNAの966番、1401番のグアニンをメチル化することによってP siteにおけるmRNAとtRNAの結合を阻害することを明らかにした。また、926番のグアニンをメチル化すると先程の高Mg2+濃度状態でのP siteへのtRNA結合を阻害するようになる。これらのリボソームRNA上の位置は古くから微生物に広く塩基配列が保存された領域、すなわちarchae bacteria(古細菌)から原核生物に至るまで16SrRNAに4ヶ所認められ、約20塩基長のオリゴマーとして存在する。これらの保存領域に挟まれた数百塩基長のRNA配列は、属あるいは種として分類学上規定される特異的な菌の集団におおむね一致して同じ配列がみられる。このRNA塩基配列は実際はDNAとしてコードされている。DNAにコードされたRNA塩基配列はrrnオペロンと呼ばれ、二つのプロモーターの後ろに16SrRNA、tRNA、23SrRNA、5SrRNA、tRNAの順にスペーサー領域を介して連結している。それぞれのtRNAは二つのtRNAGluの組み合わせか、あるいはtRNAlleとtRNAAlaの組み合わせで存在し、この2種類のrrnオペロンが数個染色体上に存在する。リボソームRNAの保存領域に関しては重要な機能を担う配列が保存されているとの認識が早くからみられ、リボソームRNA上の1本鎖RNA構造にその機能が託されていると考え、その検索がアミノアシルtRNAの解析方法に則って行われるようになった。 Protein translation is performed by the interaction of messenger RNA (hereinafter referred to as “mRNA”) and transfer RNA (hereinafter referred to as “tRNA”) through ribosome mediation. The anticodon provided in tRNA binds complementarily to mRNA, but also interacts with ribosomes. The tRNA-binding portion of the ribosome is called P site (peptidyl tsnsferase center), and binding occurs even in the absence of mRNA in a high Mg 2+ concentration state. P site is considered to be a base at a specific position of 16S ribosomal RNA (hereinafter referred to as “16S rRNA”). The University of California, Santa Cruz, Noller HF, et al. Group found that it inhibits mRNA and tRNA binding in Psite by methylating 966 and 1401 guanines of 16S rRNA, which is part of the small subunit of the ribosome. did. In addition, methylation of 926th guanine inhibits tRNA binding to P site at the high Mg 2+ concentration state. The positions on these ribosomal RNAs have been recognized in four locations in 16S rRNA from ancient times to regions where base sequences are widely conserved in microorganisms, that is, from archeae bacteria to prokaryotes, and exist as oligomers of about 20 bases in length. . The RNA sequences with a length of several hundred bases sandwiched between these conserved regions are almost identical to the specific bacterial populations that are taxonomically defined as genera or species. This RNA base sequence is actually encoded as DNA. The RNA base sequence encoded by DNA is called rrn operon, and 16S rRNA, tRNA, 23S rRNA, 5S rRNA, and tRNA are linked in this order via spacer regions behind two promoters. Each tRNA exists as a combination of two tRNA Glu or a combination of tRNA lle and tRNA Ala , and these two types of rrn operons exist on several chromosomes. Regarding the conserved region of ribosomal RNA, it was recognized early that the sequences responsible for important functions were conserved, and the function was entrusted to the single-stranded RNA structure on ribosomal RNA. It came to be performed according to the analysis method of tRNA.

ドイツのマックスブランク研究所のErdmann VAらのグループは配列が明らかなオリゴヌクレオチドを合成し、リボソームRNAとの相補的結合能をみてリボソームRNAの1本鎖構造上の位置と配列を決定している。すなわちE.coliとB.stearothermophilusの5SrRNA配列の二次構造にみられる1本鎖領域と2本鎖領域が存在することを推定しそれを決定することを行った。彼らはあらかじめ配列のわかっているオリゴマー(3、4塩基)を合成し、常温でハイブリダイズさせ、1本鎖状態を保持している位置と配列を特定している。5SrRNAの約120塩基配列の10番、30番、60番、70番、85番、95番の塩基位置に1本鎖領域が認められ、二次構造が提案されている。   The Erdmann VA group at the Max Blank Institute in Germany synthesizes oligonucleotides with known sequences and determines their position and sequence on the single-stranded structure of ribosomal RNA based on their complementary binding ability to ribosomal RNA. . That is, E.I. E. coli and B.I. We estimated and determined the presence of single- and double-stranded regions in the secondary structure of stearothermophilus 5S rRNA sequence. They synthesize oligomers (3 and 4 bases) whose sequences are known in advance and hybridize at room temperature to specify the position and sequence that maintain a single-stranded state. A single-stranded region is recognized at the base positions of the 10th, 30th, 60th, 70th, 85th, and 95th positions of about 120 base sequences of 5S rRNA, and a secondary structure has been proposed.

その後ブラウン大学のGerbi SA、エジンバラ大学のCox RAのグループでは、真核細胞同士のリボソームRNAの比較あるいは原核細胞との比較を行って機能部位の検索を行つている。真核生物としてXenopus laevis、Neurospora crassa、Drosophila melanogaster、原核生物としてEscherichia coliを用い28S、23S、18S(真核生物)、16S(原核生物)を対象にしている。ここでもリボソームRNAの機能領域を明確にするため進化の過程で保存された領域に着目している。制限酵素で50〜300塩基毎にマッピングを行いそれについて異種同士から抽出したヌクレオチドをブローブにしてDNA−DNAあるいはDNA−RNAハイブリダイゼーションを行って異種間で共通の塩基配列すなわち保存された領域を特定する作業を行っている。その結果、(1)各種間に普遍的な保存領域が認められ、(2)その保存領域はリボソームRNAのDNAコード領域内に認められスベーサー領域にはほとんど認められない。(3)18SrRNAあるいは16SrRNAの3’末端側の保存領域は生物全般に広く認められ、mRNAの結合域Shine and Dalgarno boxを強く推定している。(4)16S、18S内には他にもいくつかの保存域がみつけられている。(5)またtRNAの結合域とrRNAのメチル化についての相関についても予想を立てている。   Later, Gerbi SA from Brown University and Cox RA from Edinburgh University searched for functional sites by comparing ribosomal RNA between eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells. Xenopus laevis, Neurospora crassa, Drosophila melanogaster as eukaryotes, Escherichia coli as prokaryotes, and 28S, 23S, 18S (eukaryotes), 16S (prokaryotes) are targeted. Here, too, attention is paid to regions conserved during the evolution process in order to clarify the functional region of ribosomal RNA. A restriction enzyme is used for mapping every 50 to 300 bases, and nucleotides extracted from different species are probed for DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA hybridization to identify a common base sequence between different species, that is, a conserved region. I am doing work. As a result, (1) a universal conserved region is recognized among various types, and (2) the conserved region is found in the DNA coding region of ribosomal RNA, and is hardly found in the baser region. (3) A conserved region on the 3 'end side of 18S rRNA or 16S rRNA is widely recognized in all living organisms, and strongly suggests the binding region Shine and Dalgarno box of mRNA. (4) Several other storage areas are found in 16S and 18S. (5) We have also predicted the correlation between the tRNA binding region and rRNA methylation.

さらにE coli(1978)、Proteus vulgaris(1981)の16SrRNA、Zea maysの葉緑体rRNA(1980)、Saccharomyces cerevisiaeの18SrRNA(1980)、Xenopus laevisの18SrRNA(1981)、ヒトとマウスのミトコンドリア12SrRNA(1980)、S.cerevisiaeミトコンドリア15SrRNA(1980)の塩基配列がほぼ同時期に発表された。また、E.coliの16SrRNAの二次構造が5ヶ所から提出され細菌に普遍的な二次構造として認められた。これによってペプチド結合を触媒するリボソームの機能が保存配列に存在し、二次構造上に位置が推定されることが確実になってきた。このように1980年代初頭になされたリボソームRNAの構造と機能の研究は冒頭に述べたNoller HFらの成果に繋がっていくことになった。   Further, E coli (1978), Proteus vulgaris (1981) 16S rRNA, Zea mays chloroplast rRNA (1980), Saccharomyces cerevisiae 18S rRNA (1980), Xenopus laevis 18S rRNA (1981), human and mouse r 80 ), S. The base sequence of cerevisiae mitochondrial 15S rRNA (1980) was published at about the same time. In addition, E.I. The secondary structure of E. coli 16S rRNA was submitted from 5 sites and recognized as a universal secondary structure in bacteria. This has ensured that the function of the ribosome that catalyzes peptide bonds exists in the conserved sequence and that the position is presumed on the secondary structure. Thus, research on the structure and function of ribosomal RNA made in the early 1980s led to the results of Noller HF et al.

リボソームRNAの保存塩基配列は16SrRNA、18SrRNAの3’末端部にShine and Dalgarno領域があるが、他にもグアニンがメチル化することによって、mRNA、tRNAの結合が阻害される領域として4ヶ所、その他に4ヶ所見出されている。1987年の時点で発明者Hoshina Sらはかかる機能が明らかになる前にそのうちの2ヶ所を任意に用いることで本来無菌的状態を維持している生体部位に起こる細菌感染症を普遍的に検出し、その病原体を識別する方法を提案した(特許第3135909号)。16SrRNAに存在する保存的配列は各々約20塩基あり、生体内でもこれをプライマーとする複製酵素の伸展反応があるのだろうと推定される。そこでこの共通な塩基配列の中から二つを選んでプライマーとし、いわゆる遺伝子増幅を行えば、原因菌に特異的な配列を検出可能な量だけ得られることになるのである。   The conserved nucleotide sequence of ribosomal RNA is the Sine and Dalgarno region at the 3 'end of 16SrRNA and 18SrRNA, but there are four other regions where the binding of mRNA and tRNA is inhibited by methylation of guanine. 4 places have been found. As of 1987, the inventor Hoshina S and others universally detected bacterial infections occurring in living body parts that originally maintained aseptic conditions by arbitrarily using two of these functions before they became apparent. And proposed a method for identifying the pathogen (Japanese Patent No. 3135909). There are about 20 bases of conserved sequences present in 16S rRNA, and it is presumed that there is a replication reaction of replication enzymes using this as a primer in vivo. Therefore, by selecting two of these common base sequences as primers and performing so-called gene amplification, an amount specific to the causative bacterium can be detected.

さらに、細胞のたんぱく質翻訳調節因子としては明確になっていないグロースファクターやホルモンは転写調節を行っている。グロースファクターは、例えば細胞内のリン酸がたんぱく質の受容体を刺激しその刺激が次々と他のたんぱく質に伝達されるという信号伝達が生じ細胞の分裂が促進される。ホルモンは転写調節遺伝子に直接結合しその結果細胞の分裂が促進されることがある。   In addition, growth factors and hormones that are not clearly defined as cellular protein translational regulators regulate transcription. In the growth factor, for example, intracellular phosphate stimulates a protein receptor, and the stimulation is transmitted to other proteins one after another, and cell division is promoted. Hormones may bind directly to transcriptional regulatory genes and thus promote cell division.

次にイニシエーションファクターについて述べる。16SrRNAや18SrRNAの塩基配列の中には細菌、真菌、植物、動物など細胞で共通の配列がみられる。特に530ループ、926倍位、1401倍位は塩基配列の共通する領域で二次構造、立体構造も共通した性状を示している。これらの領域は16SrRNAや18SrRNAのP site中に存在しておりmRNAのコドンをtRNAのアンチコドンが認識するデコーディング機能にかかわる部位である。即ちリボソームのsmall subunit(16SrRNA、18SrRNAとリボソームたんぱく質の複合体)にmRNAとtRNAが会合する場所である。   Next, the initiation factor will be described. Among the base sequences of 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA, common sequences are found in cells such as bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. In particular, the 530 loop, the 926-fold position, and the 1401-fold position are the regions having the same base sequence and exhibit the same secondary structure and three-dimensional structure. These regions are present in the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA P sites, and are sites related to the decoding function in which the anticodon of tRNA recognizes the codon of mRNA. That is, it is a place where mRNA and tRNA are associated with a ribosomal small subunit (complex of 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA and ribosomal protein).

たんぱく質翻訳の開始には、第1段階としてこのP site部位にホルミル化されたメチオニン−tRNA(fMet−tRNAiMet:UAC)とmRNAの転写開始コドン(AUG)が相補的に結合したものが定着する。つぎにリボソームのlarge subunit(23SrRNA、28SrRNAとリボソームたんぱく質の複合体)がかぶさっていわゆるリボソーム粒子が形成される。そして、small subunitとlarge subunitが結合した段階でペプチド鎖伸長反応が始まる。さらにリボソーム、tRNA複合体のmRNAに対する1コドンの移動(トランスロケーション)が引き続いて起こる。このリボソームのsmall subunit中にある530ループ、926倍位、1401倍位は立体構造でその位置を決めると70〜100Åの間に入る。リボソーム上でのたんぱく質翻訳の第1段階ではP siteにfMet−tRNAiMetが結合する反応が起こる時、fMet−tRNAiMetがA siteに誤って結合しなく、引き続きmRNAの開始コドンAUGがfMet−tRNAiMetのアンチコドンと結合する。この時、fMet−tRNAiMetとP siteの結合の後につぎのtRNAが会合してこないことがみられる。さらにlarge subunitが最後まで会合してこないことなど一連の阻害反応がみられ、この現象を担う因子が存在する。 At the start of protein translation, as a first step, a formylated methionine-tRNA (fMet-tRNAi Met : UAC) and a transcription start codon (AUG) of mRNA are fixedly bound at this P site site. . Next, ribosomal large subunits (23SrRNA, 28SrRNA and ribosomal protein complex) are covered to form so-called ribosomal particles. Then, the peptide chain elongation reaction starts at the stage where the small subunit and the large subunit are combined. Furthermore, 1-codon movement (translocation) with respect to the mRNA of the ribosome and tRNA complex occurs subsequently. The 530 loop, 926-fold, and 1401-fold in the small subunit of this ribosome fall within the range of 70 to 100 mm when the position is determined by the three-dimensional structure. When the reaction to be combined fMet-tRNAi Met to the P site occurs in the first stage of protein translation on the ribosome, fMet-tRNAi Met is not bound by mistake to the A site, it will continue to start codon AUG of the mRNA fMet-tRNAi Binds to Met anticodon. At this time, it can be seen that the next tRNA does not associate after the binding of fMet-tRNAi Met and Psite. Furthermore, a series of inhibitory reactions such as the fact that large subunits do not associate to the end are observed, and there are factors responsible for this phenomenon.

この現象のそれぞれを役割分担してたんぱく質翻訳を開始し、たんぱく質翻訳が順調に正確に進むための働きをしている因子をイニシエーションファクター(Initiation Factor、IF)という。イニシエーションファクターには原核生物ではIF1、IF2、IF3の3種類があり、このうちIF2はGTPを脱リン酸化するGTPaseである。また、IF2はたんぱく質翻訳の第1段階で働きfMet−tRNAiMetがmRNAのAUGに結合する際に関与する。真核生物ではイニシエーションファクターとしてeIF2がIF2と同様の働きをしている。IF1はリボソームsmall subunitに最初に結合してfMet−tRNAiMetがP siteに結合するための空間を提供し、IF3はlarge subunitが結合するのを防ぐ「くさび」の役をしていると考えられるが、IF1とIF3はまだ本体が明らかになっていない。

A factor that initiates protein translation by sharing the role of each of these phenomena, and that functions to smoothly and accurately proceed with protein translation is called an initiation factor (IF). There are three types of initiation factors in prokaryotes: IF1, IF2, and IF3. Of these, IF2 is GTPase that dephosphorylates GTP. IF2 acts in the first step of protein translation and is involved in fMet-tRNAi Met binding to AUG of mRNA. In eukaryotes, eIF2 acts as an initiation factor in the same manner as IF2. IF1 initially binds to the ribosome small subunit to provide space for fMet-tRNAi Met to bind to P site, and IF3 appears to act as a “wedge” to prevent the large subunit from binding However, the body of IF1 and IF3 has not been revealed yet.

新規のたんぱく質翻訳調節因子及び新規のイニシエーションファクター並びに新規のたんぱく質翻訳調節方法を提供する。   Provided are a novel protein translational regulator and a novel initiation factor and a novel protein translational regulation method.

リボソームRNAに存在する保存的配列を合成した1本鎖DNAオリゴマーを細胞内に取込ませると増殖性細胞がさらに増殖することが見出された。   It was found that proliferating cells proliferate further when single-stranded DNA oligomers synthesized with conserved sequences present in ribosomal RNA were incorporated into the cells.

本発明によれば、例えば、細胞を用いて有用たんぱく質を多量に生産できる。再生医療で組織細胞を増殖させる場合に上皮細胞増殖因子(Epidermal growth factor)と本発明であるオリゴマーDNAを加えると細胞が良く増殖し、必要な臓器再生技術を早期に得られる。あるいは免疫細胞に本発明であるオリゴマーDNAを与えれば、免疫細胞のたんばく質合成能力を制御でき、免疫機能をコントロールでき、免疫能を賦活できる。あるいは、がん細胞に本発明であるオリゴマーDNAを与えると、がん細胞のたんばく質合成能力を制御でき、がん細胞を殺せる可能性がある。細菌に本発明であるオリゴマーDNAを与えれば抗生物質のように使える可能性がある。細菌の16SリボソームRNAだけに存在し、ヒトや植物の18SリボソームRNAに無いオリゴマー配列が認められているので、識別して使うことができる。さらに、イニシエーションファクターとして使用することにより、より効果的に細胞のたんぱく質合成能力を制御できる。   According to the present invention, for example, useful proteins can be produced in large quantities using cells. When tissue cells are proliferated by regenerative medicine, epidermal growth factor and the oligomeric DNA of the present invention are added, so that the cells proliferate well and necessary organ regeneration techniques can be obtained at an early stage. Alternatively, when the oligomeric DNA of the present invention is given to immune cells, the protein synthesis ability of immune cells can be controlled, the immune function can be controlled, and the immune ability can be activated. Alternatively, when the oligomeric DNA of the present invention is given to a cancer cell, the protein synthesis ability of the cancer cell can be controlled and the cancer cell may be killed. If the oligomeric DNA of the present invention is given to bacteria, it may be used like an antibiotic. Since oligomer sequences that are present only in bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA and not in human or plant 18S ribosomal RNA are recognized, they can be identified and used. Furthermore, by using it as an initiation factor, the protein synthesis ability of cells can be controlled more effectively.

リボソーム塩基配列の保存領域はたんぱく質合成機能を行う場の領域とされ、リボソーム立体構造では1本鎖で存在することが徐々に明らかになってきた。ラット繊維芽細胞Rat6の18SrRNA塩基配列に相補的なDNA塩基配列を3つ合成した。3つのDNAオリゴマーは、SRR11(5’CAGCAGCCGCGGTAATAC3’(配列番号1))、SRR22(CCGTCAATTCCTTTGAGTTT(配列番号2))、SRR53(GCACACACCGCCCGT(配列番号3))である。   The conserved region of the ribosome base sequence is regarded as a region for performing protein synthesis, and it has gradually become clear that it exists as a single strand in the ribosome conformation. Three DNA base sequences complementary to the 18S rRNA base sequence of rat fibroblast Rat 6 were synthesized. The three DNA oligomers are SRR11 (5'CAGCAGCCGCCGTAATAC3 '(SEQ ID NO: 1)), SRR22 (CCGTCAATTCCCTTTGAGTTT (SEQ ID NO: 2)), SRR53 (GCACACACCGCCCGT (SEQ ID NO: 3)).

ラット線維芽細胞Rat6を96ウエル培養シャーレで上皮細胞増殖因子(以下、「EGF」という。)加DMEM(Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium)を入れて2週間培養した。その後たんぱく質合成機能領域のDNAオリゴマーSRR11とSRR22の10ng/mLを上記EGF(10ng/mL)添加DMEMに加えてさらに培養を3週間続けた。EGFを加えたがDNAを加えていないRat6細胞を(あ)ケース、EGFを加えDNAを加えたものを(い)ケースとする。これらの条件培地に馴化したRat6細胞を一般に使われる10%子牛血清(CS)とEGF(10ng/mL)を加えていない培地(以下、「Aケース」という。)、一般に使われる10%子牛血清(CS)を加えEGF(10ng/mL)を加えていない培地(以下、「Bケース」という。)、DNAオリゴマーを除いたEGF(10ng/mL)を加えた培地(以下、「Cケース」という。)に戻して培養を1週間から3週間行った。培地交換はその間3から4日ごとに適宜行った。その結果を表2に示す。

Figure 2005230001
Rat fibroblast Rat 6 was cultured in a 96-well culture dish with epidermal growth factor (hereinafter referred to as “EGF”) added DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) for 2 weeks. Thereafter, 10 ng / mL of the DNA oligomers SRR11 and SRR22 in the protein synthesis functional region were added to the EGF (10 ng / mL) -added DMEM, and the culture was further continued for 3 weeks. Rat6 cells to which EGF has been added but DNA has not been added are referred to as (A) case, and those obtained by adding EGF and added to DNA as (YES) case. Rat6 cells conditioned to these conditioned media are generally used 10% calf serum (CS) and medium without EGF (10 ng / mL) (hereinafter referred to as “A Case”), commonly used 10% offspring Medium without bovine serum (CS) and EGF (10 ng / mL) (hereinafter referred to as “B case”), medium supplemented with EGF (10 ng / mL) excluding DNA oligomer (hereinafter referred to as “C case”) The culture was performed for 1 to 3 weeks. Medium exchange was performed as appropriate every 3 to 4 days. The results are shown in Table 2.
Figure 2005230001

(あ)ケースで培養したRat6細胞をAケースの培地に置き換えると11個のコロニーを形成した。Bケースに置き換えた場合ではコロニー数は61個に増加した。Cケースで培養を行うとコロニー数は170個であった。一方、(い)ケースで培養を行ったRat6細胞はBケースに置き換えた場合コロニー数は77個であった。Cケースではコロニー数は832個であった。
(あ)ケースで培養をし続けた場合に比べ、それにオリゴマーDNAを添加して培養を続けた(い)ケースのRat6細胞では、Bケースの標準培地に戻したものではコロニー数はわずかに増加したが、Cケースに戻した場合ではコロニー数が強く増加した。また、SRR11の代わりにSRR53を加えて同様の実験を試みたところ細胞増殖能が認められた。
(A) When the Rat6 cells cultured in the case were replaced with the medium in the A case, 11 colonies were formed. When replaced with B case, the number of colonies increased to 61. When culture was performed in C case, the number of colonies was 170. On the other hand, when Rat6 cells cultured in (i) case were replaced with B case, the number of colonies was 77. In C case, the number of colonies was 832.
(A) Compared to the case of continuing culture in the case, the number of colonies slightly increased in the case of Rat6 cells in which the oligomer DNA was added and continued in the case (i) in the case of returning to the standard medium of B case However, when it was returned to C case, the number of colonies increased strongly. Moreover, when SRR53 was added instead of SRR11 and the same experiment was tried, the cell growth ability was recognized.

以下参考に詳細な実験経過を記載する。第1日(11月9日)Rat6細胞を約2週間EGFで培養する。第13日(11月22日)Rat6細胞をEGF(10ng/mL)のみとEGF(10ng/mL)とオリゴDNA(SRR11+SRR22)(10ng/mL)を添加した条件培地に交換。Rat6細胞は正常発育。第18日(11月27日)EGF(20ng/mL)を増量。第22日(12月1日)EGF(10ng/mL)に減量。Rat6細胞の発育は正常を維持している。第26日(12月5日)EGF+オリゴDNA(SRR11+SRR22)を添加した培地でのRat6細胞の発育が増殖性に変換し、コロニー形成が見られる。EGFのみを添加した培地でのRat6細胞の発育が増殖性に変換し、コロニー形成が見られる。また、SRR22+SRR53(GCACACACCGCCCGT)を添加した系でもRat6細胞の発育が増殖性を示した。特にSRR11+SRR22を添加した場合の細胞増殖能が最も強力であった。第26日(12月5日)96ウェルプレートにそれらのコロニーを選び、細胞を1×10cell/wellづつ軟寒天培地に植え継ぐ。A:上層を0.3%寒天にEGFのみ添加、B:上層を0.3%寒天にEGFとオリゴDNA(SRR11、SRR22)を添加、下層はすべて0.5%寒天で何も添加せず。第33日(12月12日)96ウェルプレートにそれらのコロニーを選び、細胞を8×10/wellづつ接種。条件培地は10%CSとEGF(10ng/mL)をそれぞれ添加した培地に戻した。第39日(12月18日)増殖性細胞に一般に見られるフォーカス形成とコロニー形成が見られた。第54日(1月2日)結果観察した。 The detailed experimental process is described below for reference. Day 1 (November 9) Rat6 cells are cultured in EGF for about 2 weeks. Day 13 (November 22) Rat6 cells were replaced with conditioned medium supplemented with EGF (10 ng / mL) alone, EGF (10 ng / mL) and oligo DNA (SRR11 + SRR22) (10 ng / mL). Rat6 cells develop normally. Day 18 (November 27) EGF (20 ng / mL) increased. Day 22 (December 1) Reduced to EGF (10 ng / mL). Rat6 cell growth remains normal. Day 26 (December 5) Rat6 cell growth in a medium supplemented with EGF + oligo DNA (SRR11 + SRR22) is converted to proliferative and colony formation is observed. Rat6 cell growth in a medium supplemented with only EGF is converted to proliferative and colony formation is observed. In addition, the growth of Rat6 cells showed proliferative properties even in a system to which SRR22 + SRR53 (GCACACACCGCCCGT) was added. In particular, the cell growth ability when SRR11 + SRR22 was added was the strongest. Day 26 (December 5) Pick those colonies into 96-well plates and inoculate the cells on soft agar at 1 × 10 5 cells / well. A: Only EGF is added to 0.3% agar for the upper layer, B: EGF and oligo DNA (SRR11, SRR22) are added to 0.3% agar for the upper layer, and nothing is added to the lower layer with 0.5% agar. . On day 33 (December 12), select those colonies in 96-well plates and inoculate the cells with 8 × 10 3 / well. The conditioned medium was returned to a medium supplemented with 10% CS and EGF (10 ng / mL). On day 39 (December 18), focus formation and colony formation generally seen in proliferating cells were observed. On day 54 (January 2), the results were observed.

実験ではDNAオリゴマーSRR22を加えた場合にコロニー数が最も増加したことから、SRR22の塩基配列の位置がたんぱく質翻訳の主たる場を提供していると考えられる。リボソームRNAの1本鎖領域で塩基配列が進化の過程で保存された部位に(SRR22にはTが多く見られる)mRNAのポリAテールが結合する。そこで1本鎖DNAオリゴマーSRR22をDNA合成して細胞に与えると、フリーのmRNAが結合しそれがリボソームRNAのSRR22部位に結合しやすくなる。mRNAとrRNAの結合する速度を加速して触媒反応を行うと推測される。1本鎖DNAが化学物質としてたんぱく質合成やリボソームの働きについて触媒のように寄与していると推測される。本発明では1本鎖DNAオリゴマーによるたんぱく質翻訳調節因子を提供する。また、本発明では細胞に本発明である1本鎖DNAオリゴマーを細胞内に取込ませ細胞を培養したんぱく質翻訳調節する方法を提供する。   In the experiment, when the DNA oligomer SRR22 was added, the number of colonies increased most, so it is considered that the position of the base sequence of SRR22 provides the main field for protein translation. The poly A tail of mRNA binds to a site where the base sequence is conserved in the process of evolution in the single-stranded region of ribosomal RNA (SRR22 has many Ts). Therefore, when the single-stranded DNA oligomer SRR22 is synthesized and given to cells, free mRNA is bound and it is easy to bind to the SRR22 site of ribosomal RNA. It is presumed that the catalytic reaction is carried out by accelerating the binding speed of mRNA and rRNA. It is speculated that single-stranded DNA contributes like a catalyst to protein synthesis and ribosome function as a chemical substance. The present invention provides a protein translational regulator using a single-stranded DNA oligomer. The present invention also provides a method for regulating protein translation by culturing cells by incorporating the single-stranded DNA oligomer of the present invention into the cells.

さらに、イニシエーションファクターとしてのリボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーについて述べる。イニシエーションファクターは、たんぱく質合成において、P siteにfMet−tRNAiMetが結合する反応が起こる時、fMet−tRNAiMetがA siteに誤って結合しなく、引き続きmRNAの開始コドンAUGがfMet−tRNAiMetのアンチコドンと結合するなどたんぱく質翻訳の開始、たんぱく質翻訳が順調に正確に進むための働きをしている。そして、本発明によるリボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーはイニシエーションファクターとして作用しfMet−tRNAiMetをP siteに誘引する働きなどたんぱく質翻訳の開始、たんぱく質翻訳が順調に正確に進むための働をするため急激なたんぱく質合成を促し、その結果急激な細胞の増殖に至ったと考えられる。本発明ではイニシエーションファクターとしてのリボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーを提供する。 Furthermore, a single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to the ribosomal RNA base sequence as an initiation factor is described. Initiation factor in protein synthesis, when the reaction occurs to bind the fMet-tRNAi Met to P site, fMet-tRNAi Met is not bound by mistake A site, subsequently initiation codon AUG of the mRNA is fMet-tRNAi Met anticodon It works for the start of protein translation such as binding to the protein, and for protein translation to proceed smoothly and accurately. Since the single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to the ribosomal RNA base sequence according to the present invention acts as an initiation factor, the protein translation starts and protein translation proceeds smoothly and accurately, such as the function of attracting fMet-tRNAi Met to Psite. It is thought that rapid protein synthesis was promoted because of the action of this, resulting in rapid cell proliferation. The present invention provides a single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to a ribosomal RNA base sequence as an initiation factor.

最後に、イニシエーションファクターの働きをもったリボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーについて述べる。リボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーには細胞を急激に増殖させる働きがあるがイニシエーションファクターそのものではない可能性が科学上ある。しかし、イニシエーションファクターと同様ないしイニシエーションファクターに匹敵する働きを有することから、本発明では、イニシエーションファクターの働きをもったリボソームRNA塩基配列に相補的な一本鎖DNAオリゴマーを提供する。   Finally, a single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to the ribosomal RNA base sequence having the function of an initiation factor is described. There is a possibility that a single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to a ribosomal RNA base sequence has a function of rapidly proliferating cells but is not an initiation factor itself. However, since it has a function similar to or comparable to the initiation factor, the present invention provides a single-stranded DNA oligomer complementary to the ribosomal RNA base sequence having the function of the initiation factor.

新たに細胞内でたんぱく質を多量に生産させることができ医学的実験や治験に貢献し、さらには細胞を増殖させたり増殖を制限させるなどすることで、がん細胞のたんぱく質合成能力を制御できる可能性があるなど新規の医薬品の開発に繋がる。   It is possible to newly produce a large amount of protein in the cell, contribute to medical experiments and clinical trials, and further control the ability of cancer cells to synthesize proteins by proliferating or limiting the growth of cells. This leads to the development of new medicines.
