摘要
恶性肿瘤是严重危害人类生命健康的重大疾病。在与肿瘤相关的各类转录因子中,Fox家族蛋白成员众多,其突变和表达异常与发育畸形、代谢性疾病以及肿瘤发生密切相关。FoxM1作为Forkhead家族的一个特殊成员在肿瘤等活跃的分裂细胞中大量表达,是控制包括增殖、成熟、死亡在内的整个细胞生命周期的重要基因之一,与肿瘤生长和转移密切相关。目前,国内外对FoxM1的研究尚处于起步阶段。本研究对于深入了解FoxM1c的生物信息基础和进一步的靶向FoxM1c药物研究具有重要的意义和价值。通过NCBI FoxMlc基因的蛋白质序列查询,选出8条来自不同物种具有代表性的序列,确定了不同物种中表达FoxM1c基因之间的同源关系,并发现FoxM1c基因或功能区域在其它物种中的表达。同时,依据ClustalX等生物信息学软件对人FoxMlc基因蛋白序列的理化性质、结构以及功能进行预测。
     研究结果表明,人FoxM1c蛋白序列共有748个氨基酸组成,人FoxM1c蛋白序列的两大功能域分别为“叉头框”(Forkhead,236-314)和转录激活区(AD,688-748),“叉头框”是一个非常好的保守区域。p19ARF蛋白的26-46的氨基酸残基能与AD相结合,从而约束人FoxM1c和减少人FoxM1c对细胞核靶向作用的转录活性。
     进一步地,通过对人FoxM1c全长片段、DNA结合区和转录激活区的PCR扩增和表达载体pQE30的重组,成功构建了各相应的重组表达系统。经SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳,确认DNA结合区成功表达。在此基础上,对DNA结合区表达系统pQD进行大量表达并通过Ni-NTA亲和层析进行蛋白纯化与定量,获得了mg级的DNA结合区蛋白。
     以FoxM1c的DNA结合区蛋白为筛选靶标,利用噬菌体随机十二肽库筛选技术,通过“吸附—洗脱—扩增”的循环筛选获得富集噬菌体,经4轮筛选,将最后一轮筛选富集的噬菌体铺板,挑取单克隆噬菌体制备ssDNA并测序获得18条不同序列的十二肽。经分子对接软件MVD进行对接,靶向FoxM1的DNA结合区蛋白的富集噬菌体至少含有以下一种多肽结构序列:第一组:WHL/Q/D/N;第二组:DLY, DLLY, DHYN,DLNY;第三组:SSLWN/E;第四组:HLDY, HLYE, YHLE, LYHDD, YHLEE;第五组FYNL, NYFL;第六组:YPH, YPL, YPS。所述结合肽多肽结构序列分子模拟对接在FoxM1上的结合结构域预测主要是Arg-Arg(R-R, aa:254,256)和Glu-Thr-Ser-Ala-Asn-Gly-Lys(E-T-S-A-N-G-K, aa:298-304)。为进一步的靶向FoxM1c小分子先导肽的发现建立了基础。
Cancer is a major disease that is seriously harmful to human life and health. Among various types of tumor associated transcription factors, Fox Family is the most important with large members. Developmental malformation, metabolic disease and tumorigenesis are related to its mutation and abnormality expression. FoxMl is one of the gene family which controls the entire cell life cycle, tumor growth and metastasis as a special member of Forkhead family. It was closely related to the tumor. At present, Foxmlc transcription factor was less reported especially in bioinformatics analysis. The work is of great value and consequences for the further understanding of the bioinformatics bases of FoxM1c and the selection and finding of small molecular leading peptides targeting FoxMlc.
     This work mainly includes three parts:1) the bioinformatics analysis of FoxM1c; 2) the cloning and exprsssion of human FoxM1c protein; 3) the selection and molecular simulation of lead peptide targeting human FoxM1c protein.
     Homology among FoxM1c genes were found by searching eight representative sequences from different species by protein sequence query in NCBI, as well the finding of FoxMlc or its domain in other species, meanwhile, physico-chemical property, primary, secondary and tertiary structure and protein function of human FoxMlc were presented.
     The results showed that "fork head box" of FoxM1 protein was a conservative region. Homology between Fox family members such as C and S, J and K, H and Q, P and R, M and O, were respectively higher. Human FoxMlc was composed of a total of 748 amino acids. Human FoxM1c protein sequence had two domain:One is Fork head box (Forkhead, 236-314) and transcriptional activation domain (AD,688-748), to which p19ARF protein in the amino acid 26-46 binding and hence restraining human FoxM1c and reducing the transcription activity of human FoxM1c nuclear targeting. As we failed in obtaining the reliable tertiary structure of the AD, the precise mechanism of action requires further more study.
     Also, the human full-length FoxMlc cDNA was identified and cloned in the lab. The work offered great basis for the cloning and expression of human full-length FoxM1c cDNA or its functional domains which would be the important steps in the selection and finding of leading peptides targeting FoxM1c.
     Here, at first the full length, the DNA binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain of human FoxM1 cDNA were amplified by PCR, then they were genetically cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pQE30 and confirmed by restriction analysis and sequencing, by IPTG induction and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the FoxMl proteins were successfully expressed and confirmed and later purified by Ni-NTA agarose gel packing and quantified up to 0.8mg protein/ml solution by BCA assay.
     By four rounds of selection of phage random dodecapeptide library against this expressed FoxMlc protein, the phages were enriched and eighteen different sequences were obtained by sequencing of different phages clones, importantly several clones showed higher affinities for FoxM1c protein with the highest near to P/N of 200. In addition, important consensus sequence were also found. It was the first report of the finding of lead peptides targeting FoxMlc by phages display technology.
     It was found that the binding peptides for FoxMl protein may contain at least one of the following sequence characteristics:the first group:WHL/Q/D/N; the second group:DLY, DLLY, DHYN, DLNY; the third group:SSLWN/E; the fourth group:HLDY, HLYE, YHLE, LYHDD, YHLEE; the fifth group:FYNL, NYFL; the sixth group:YPH, YPL, YPS. By molecular simulation of docking software MVD, it was predicted that the above described binding peptides may target FoxM1-binding domain mainly on the sites of Arg-Arg (RR, aa: 254,256), and Glu-Thr-Ser-Ala-Asn-Gly-Lys (E-T-S-A-N-G-K, aa:298-304). The further analysis and study of the peptides are still in progress.
