Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence segment, especially to a nucleic acid sequence segment that enhances expression of the recombinant protein segments. The present invention also relates to an expression vector, especially to an expression vector that enhances the expression of recombinant protein. The present invention also relates to a kit, especially to the kit comprising the expression vector and an antibody that can detect the expression of the expression vector. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Prior Arts 
         [0004]    Since the physical and chemical properties, folding, structure stability, activity, and protein function can be affected by post-translational modification (PTM), PTM is an extremely important mechanism in biological cells. Phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins, and it is involved in a variety of different biological signal pathways; phosphorylation not only refers to a PO 4  group binding to a protein or other molecules, but also be defined as an organic phosphate group leading into a molecule, therefore, phosphorylation plays a significant rule in biochemistry field because of its complicated regulation mechanism. Protein phosphorylation occurs at a specific amino acid (the major unit of protein) on which the serine is followed by a threonine Phosphorylation occurring on tyrosine is relatively less, and the location on tyrosine is wider because tyrosine can be purified by antibody easily. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation respectively require specific enzymes to react, such as protein kinase and phosphatase that can react on particular location on amino acid sequence of the protein. Studies estimate that nearly a third of intracellular proteins are phosphorylated, and nearly half of the protein kinases are related to diseases including cancer. Nowadays, the purification and identification of kinase and phosphatase are still difficult because commercial vectors are unavailable for mass production and recombinant protein kinases purification, and commercial recombinant protein kinases still have low purity and other shortcomings. 
         [0005]    The secondary structure of alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) is: α-helices overlap in N-terminus, and threonine/serine kinases domain in the C-terminus. There is no sequence homology to conventional protein kinases, and they will mainly phosphorylate at α-helices on substrate of the amino acid. However, the functions of ALPK1 gene is rarely known, and commercially available ALPK1 recombinant protein has disadvantages such as poor expression, only 80% purity, less protein concentration for crystallization, incapability of expression in prokaryotic cells, and mini transfection for eukaryotic cells.

       PREPARATION EXAMPLE 4 
     Purification 
       [0051]    (1) Mini purification was applied to immunoprecipitation or co-immunoprecipitation. By means of HA tag or FLAG™ tag of fusion protein, target protein could be precipitated via the affinity of antibody and be detected in protein-protein interaction, DNA-protein interaction and kinase assay. 
         [0052]    (2) Mega purification was applied to protein crystallization and antibody preparation. The expression vectors pHH-SV1, pFH-G2, and pGFP-HH were respectively expressed in suspension-adapted Human embryonic kidney cells FreeStyleTM293-F (purchased from Life Technologies, catalog number: R790-07) or Hamster Ovary Cells FreeStyleTMCHO-S (purchased from Life Technologies, catalog number: R800-07). Briefly, 4 μg of vector DNA and 8 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 (purchased from Invitrogen) were used for transient transfection. The transfected HEK 293T cells were cultured under a standard condition (5% CO 2  and 37° C.) for 24 hours in erlenmeyer flasks in coordination with orbital shaker prior to harvest. After 48 hours incubation, cells were lysed by microfluidizer and then were centrifuged to obtain a crude protein. The crude protein was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) to harvest a target kinase protein. 
         [0053]    For example, full length (FL) and N-terminus (Nt) of 6X-His-ALPK1 were respectively inserted into pHH-SV1 expression vectors obtained from preparation example 1, and then the pHH-SV1 expression vectors were respectively expressed in FreeStyle 293-F cells. Cells were lysed using a 27-gauge needle in cell lysis buffer [50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.1% Nadeoxycholate, and a Roche complete protease inhibitor cocktail]. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1× proteinase inhibitor cocktail mix (purchased from Roche), 1 mM PMSF and 1 mM Na3VO4), and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. After centrifugation (12,000 g, 20 minutes), the supernatants were respectively supplemented with 20 mM imidazole and loaded on a PD-10 column packed with Ni-Sepharose 6 Fast Flow (purchased from GE Healthcare Biosciences) by gravity and flow. 1 ml Ni-Sepharose 6 Fast Flow was added to supernatants respectively to mix and equilibrate with a 50 mM Tri-HCl buffer, pH 8.0 (containing 150 mM NaCl and 20 mM imidazole). When protein has 6× His-tag, the protein would bind to the Ni-Sepharose 6 Fast Flow carrier. The fractions with carrier were washed in the 30 mM imidazole. The fractions were eluted by 250 mM imidazole, and protein carbohydrate chain modified was analyzed by AcTEV Protease kit (purchased from GE Healthcare Biosciences). 
       PREPARATION EXAMPLE 5 
     Substrate Protein Phosphorylation by Target Kinase 
       [0054]    To detect phosphorylation, radioactive element γ-32p or γ-33p was calibrated by isotope in commonly in vitro or in vivo study. However, only total amount of phosphated protein can be detected. If a particular phosphorylation site had to be studied, it would take long time to experiment by site-directed mutagenesis. 
         [0055]    Therefore, the method of preparation described in Preparation Example 4 was utilized to purify specific protein by native, the steps comprising: reacting total lysates with ATP, adding high salt buffer to quench, purifying by titanium dioxide chromatography to amplify signal of each phosphorylation site, and followed by analysis by tandem mass spectrometer. The sample also can be separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and then confirmed total lysate was phospholated by kinase via Pro-Q® Diamond Phosphoprotein Stain (purchased from Life Technologies Inc.) 
       PREPARATION EXAMPLE 6 
     Immunoprecipitation 
       [0056]    30 μg of total protein from transfected HEK 293 cells was incubated with HA (12CA5, Roche) or Flag (M2, Sigma) antibodies in 50 μL of IP buffer at 4° C. for 4 hours. Protein G mag sepharose (Dynabeads, Invitrogen) were added to the mixture and incubated overnight. The complex was placed on a magnet and washed three times. Proteins eluted from the sepharose beads were subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using HA (C29F4, Cell Signaling) or Flag (2EL-1B11, Merck Millipore) antibodies. For sequential reprobing of the same blots, the membranes were stripped and hybridized with another primary antibody. Blots were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Amersham) and protein intensities were quantified using Image J software (version 1.48). 
       PREPARATION EXAMPLE 7 
     Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) 
       [0057]    50 μL of protein solution was thoroughly mixed with 500 μL of acetone following centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The protein residues were evaporated to dryness after discarding of the supernatant. Protein residues were redissolved with 25 mM of ammonium bicarbonate aqueous solution and digested with sequence-grade trypsin (Promega) at 37° C. for 16 hours. Subsequently, 2 μL of tryptic peptide solution was injected into the nanoACQUITY UPLC system (Waters, Milford, Mass., USA) containing a desalting column (Symmetry C18, 5 μm, 180 μm×20 mm) and an analytical column (BEH C18, 1.7 μm, 75 μm×100 mm) and was detected by LTQ Orbitrap Discovery Hybrid fourier transform mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Bremen, Germany) at a resolution of 30,000 coupled with a nanospray source in a positive ion mode. Individual raw data was processed using Mascot Distiller software (Version 2.2, Matrix Science Inc., Boston, Mass.) and uploaded to the in-house Mascot server for protein identification. 
       EXAMPLE 1 
     Protein Expression 
       [0058]    The pHH-SV1 expression vector obtained from preparation example 1 was transfected into HEK293T cells, and the protein expression of pHH-SV1 expression vector and commercially available vectors would be detected by Western blotting. As shown in  FIG. 4 , the ALPK1 protein expression of the pHH-SV1 expression vector in accordance with the present invention was higher than that of the commercially available vectors (pcDNA3.1 purchased from Life Technologies; pEGFP-C2 and pFN21K HaloTag purchased from Promega) in eukaryotic cells. It was said that protein folding and embedding caused by tag of commercially available vectors result in poor protein purification. However, by means of TEV sequence of the fixable sequence cleaving fusion tag, proteins may retain the original state. 
         [0059]    In addition, when pHH-SV1 expression vector and pCMV-8X-His vector were transfected into HEK239 cells and CHO-S cells respectively, as shown in  FIG. 5 , the protein expression of the pHH-SV1 expression vector obtained from preparation example 1 was better than pCMV-8X-His vector either in HEK239 cells or CHO-S cells.

       [0060]    The pHH-SV1 expression vector obtained from preparation example 1 and pCMV-8X-His vector were purified according to preparation example 4. 
         [0061]    As shown in  FIGS. 6A to 6C , in comparison with pCMV-8X-His vector, pHH-SV1 expression vector in accordance with the present invention express a large amount of high purity and active protein. Regarding  FIG. 6B , the purity of ALPK1 calculated by software Image J was about 90%. 
         [0062]    As shown in  FIG. 6C , peaks 1 and 2 were the states of the washing, peak 3 was a first elute, and peak 4 was a second elute; wherein the two peaks 3 and 4 were both the results of eluted ALPK1 amount of protein. Because of most of ALPK1 protein left on the column in peak 3, while increasing the concentration of imidazole, the protein can be released more completely in peak 4 than in peak 3. 
       EXAMPLE 3 
     Protein Expression Rate of Co-Transfection 
       [0063]    pHH-SV1 expression vector obtained from the preparation example 1 and pFH-G2 expression vector obtained from the preparation example 2 were co-transfected into HEK293 cells, wherein the full length of pHH-SV1 expression vector was 142.67 KDa. pFH-G2-MYH9 expression vector expressed myosin IIA, and the full length gene (1 by to 5880 bp) can translate 1960 amino acids (about 220 kDa). pFH-G2-MYH9 Ct expression vector expressed C-terminus truncated protein Myosin IIA (from 4013 by to 5875 bp; total 1863 by translated to 621 a.a.) (about 68.21 kDa). pFH-Rab11a, pFH-PP 1A and vector only (pFH-G2 expression vector) were as a control group, and the protein expressions were detected by Western blotting. An anti-Flag antibody was purchased from Millipro, catalog number: 2EL-1B1. An anti-HA antibody was purchased from Cell signaling, catalog number: C29F4X. 
         [0064]    As shown in  FIG. 7 , since pFH-G2 and pHH-SV1 expression vectors carry different tags respectively, they can be used in protein interaction experiment such as pull-down, immune co-precipitation, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The protein expressions of the pHH-SV1 in accordance with the present invention were consistent (column 2 to column 4). 
       EXAMPLE 4 
     The Protein Expression of the Length of ALPK1 Gene 
       [0065]    As shown in  FIGS. 8 and 9 , ALPK1 gene was designed by PCR to obtain various deletion forms, the deletion forms of ALPK1 gene were inserted to the pHH-SV1 expression vector in accordance with the present invention and then transfected to HEK293T cells, and the protein expression of the deletion forms of ALPK1 gene was analyzed by Western blotting; wherein the various deletion forms of ALPK1 gene all can express ALPK1 protein.
