본 발명은 갈색거저리(Tenebrio molitor)의 펩티도글리칸 인식 신호 전달에 관여하는 신규의 단백질, 이를 코딩하는 유전자, 또는 이를 포함하는 검체 중 박테리아 감염의 검출용 키트에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a novel protein involved in the peptidoglycan recognition signal transduction of a brown rice meal ( Tenebrio molitor ), a gene encoding the same, or a kit for detecting a bacterial infection in a sample containing the same.

최근의 유전공학 연구를 통해, 초파리(Drosophila melanogaster)의 펩티도글리칸(PG)을 인식하는 단백질인 Drosophila PGRP-SA 및 Drosophila PGRP-SD가 Toll 경로를 활성화시키며(Michel, T., Reichhart, J. M., Hoffmann, J. A. & Royet, J. (2001) Nature 414, 756-759 및 Bischoff, V., Vignal, C., Boneca, I. G., Michel, T., Hoffmann, J. A. & Royet, J. (2004) Nat Immunol 5, 1175-1180), Drosophila PGRP-LC 및 Drosophila PGRP-LE가 Imd 경로에 대한 수용체임이 보고된 바 있다 (Gottar, M., Gobert, V., Michel, T., Belvin, M., Duyk, G., Hoffmann, J. A., Ferrandon, D. & Royet, J. (2002) Nature 416, 640-644; Choe, K. M., Werner, T., Stoven, S., Hultmark, D. & Anderson, K. V. (2002) Science 296, 359-362; 및 Takehana, A., Katsuyama, T., Yano, T., Oshima, Y., Takada, H., Aigaki, T. & Kurata, S. (2002) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 99, 13705-13710). 한편, Drosophila 그람 음성균 결합 단백질 1 (Drosophila GNBP1)의 기능-소실 돌연변이(loss-of-function mutant)의 면역 표현형은 Drosophila PGRP-SA와 구분할 수 없으며, 이는 두 개의 단백질이 그람 양성균의 감염에 대한 반응에 있어서 Toll 경로를 활성화시키기 위하여 필요하다는 것을 나타낸다 (Gobert, V., Gottar, M., Matskevich, A. A., Rutschmann, S., Royet, J., Belvin, M., Hoffmann, J. A. & Ferrandon, D. (2003) Science 302, 2126-2130; Pili-Floury, S., Leulier, F., Takahashi, K., Saigo, K., Samain, E., Ueda, R. & Lemaitre, B. (2004) J Biol Chem 279, 12848-12853; 및 Wang, L., Weber, A. N., Atilano, M. L., Filipe, S. R., Gay, N. J. & Ligoxygakis, P. (2006) EMBO J 25, 5005-5014). 그러나, 그람 양성균 인식에 있어서의 Toll 경로의 상류(upstream) 부분의 분자수준에서의 기전은 아직 확실하게 밝혀지지 않았다.Through recent genetic engineering studies, Drosophila Drosophila PGRP-SA and Drosophila PGRP-SD, proteins that recognize the peptidoglycan (PG) of melanogaster ), activate the Toll pathway (Michel, T., Reichhart, JM, Hoffmann, JA & Royet, J. (2001) ) Nature 414, 756-759 and Bischoff, V., Vignal, C., Boneca, IG, Michel, T., Hoffmann, JA & Royet, J. (2004) Nat Immunol 5, 1175-1180), Drosophila PGRP-LC and Drosophila It has been reported that PGRP-LE is a receptor for the Imd pathway (Gottar, M., Gobert, V., Michel, T., Belvin, M., Duyk, G., Hoffmann, JA, Ferrandon, D. & Royet , J. (2002) Nature 416, 640-644; Choe, KM, Werner, T., Stoven, S., Hultmark, D. & Anderson, KV (2002) Science 296, 359-362; and Takehana, A. , Katsuyama, T., Yano, T., Oshima, Y., Takada, H., Aigaki, T. & Kurata, S. (2002) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 99, 13705-13710. Meanwhile, Drosophila Gram-negative bacteria binding protein 1 ( Drosophila GNBP1) is an immune phenotype of loss-of-function mutant Drosophila Indistinguishable from PGRP-SA, this indicates that two proteins are required to activate the Toll pathway in response to infection of Gram-positive bacteria (Gobert, V., Gottar, M., Matskevich, AA, Rutschmann, S Royet, J., Belvin, M., Hoffmann, JA & Ferrandon, D. (2003) Science 302, 2126-2130; Pili-Floury, S., Leulier, F., Takahashi, K., Saigo, K., Samain, E., Ueda, R. & Lemaitre, B. (2004) J Biol Chem 279, 12848-12853; And Wang, L., Weber, AN, Atilano, ML, Filipe, SR, Gay, NJ & Ligoxygakis, P. (2006) EMBO J 25, 5005-5014). However, the mechanism at the molecular level in the upstream portion of the Toll pathway in Gram-positive bacteria recognition is not yet clear.

침습하는 병원균의 멜라닌화를 유도하는 프로-페놀옥시다아제 (pro-phenoloxisase, pro-PO) 활성화 캐스캐이드는 무척추 동물에 있어서 또 다른 중요한 고유의 면역 방어 기전이며, 이는 펩티도글리칸(peptidoglycan, PG) 및 β-1,3-글루칸에 의해 유발된다 (Cerenius, L. & Soderhall, K. (2004) Immunol Rev 198, 116-126 및 Kanost, M. R., Jiang, H. & Yu, X. Q. (2004) Immunol Rev 198, 97-105). 척추 동물의 보체 시스템과 유사하게, pro-PO 캐스케이드는 혈장내 단백질분 해(proteolytic) 캐스케이드이다. 그러므로, 상기 pro-PO 시스템은 세포가 포함이 되지 않은(cell-free) 조건에서 PG 및 β-1,3-글루칸 인식 및 이어지는 신호전달에 대한 생화학적 연구를 위한 좋은 연구 모델계이다. Pro-phenoloxisase (pro-PO) activating cascades that induce melaninization of invading pathogens are another important inherent immune defense mechanism in invertebrates, which are peptidoglycan (PG). ) And β-1,3-glucan (Cerenius, L. & Soderhall, K. (2004) Immunol Rev 198, 116-126 and Kanost, MR, Jiang, H. & Yu, XQ (2004) Immunol Rev 198, 97-105). Similar to the complement system of vertebrates, the pro-PO cascade is a plasma proteolytic cascade. Therefore, the pro-PO system is a good research model system for biochemical studies of PG and β-1,3-glucan recognition and subsequent signaling in cell-free conditions.

본 발명자들은 Drosophila PGRP-SA와 높은 서열 상동성을 나타내는 갈색거저리(Tenebrio molitor)의 펩티도글리칸 인식 단백질(peptidoglycan recognition protein, PGRP)를 동정한 바 있으며, Tenebrio PGRP-SA로 명명한 상기 PGRP가 Tenebrio 곤충에서 Lys-PG-의존성 pro-PO 시스템을 활성화시킨다는 것을 밝힌 바 있다 (Park, J. W., Je, B. R., Piao, S., Inamura, S., Fujimoto, Y., Fukase, K., Kusumoto, S., Soderhall, K., Ha, N. C. & Lee, B. L. (2006) J Biol Chem 281, 7747-7755). 또한, 본 발명자들은 생체 내 초파리(Drosophila) Toll 경로, 시험관 내 pro-PO 시스템, 및 재조합 PGRP-SA를 이용한 생화학적인 접근을 통하여, Lys-PG 인식 신호가 어떻게 하류(downstream)로 전달되는지에 관한 기전을 밝혀내고자 다양한 연구를 수행하였으며, pro-PO 시스템에 관여하는 신규 단백질들을 분리하고, 이를 이용할 경우 혈액 등의 검체 중 박테리아 감염을 검출할 수 있음을 밝힌 바 있다 (대한민국 특허출원 제10-2007-0095196호, 대한민국 특허출원 제10-2007-0013231호; Park JW, Kim CH, Kim JH, Je BR, Roh KB, Kim SJ, Lee HH, Ryu JH, Lim JH, Oh BH, Lee WJ, Ha NC, Lee BL Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 104, 6602-6607(2007)).The inventors of the Drosophila Brown gonorrhea with high sequence homology with PGRP-SA ( Tenebrio Molecular Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein (PGRP) has been identified, Tenebrio The PGRP, named PGRP-SA, has been shown to activate the Lys-PG-dependent pro-PO system in Tenebrio insects (Park, JW, Je, BR, Piao, S., Inamura, S., Fujimoto, Y ., Fukase, K., Kusumoto, S., Soderhall, K., Ha, NC & Lee, BL (2006) J Biol Chem 281, 7747-7755). In addition, the inventors have described how Lys-PG recognition signals are transmitted downstream through the in vivo Drosophila Toll pathway, in vitro pro-PO system, and biochemical approaches using recombinant PGRP-SA. Various studies have been conducted to find out the mechanism, and it has been shown that new proteins involved in the pro-PO system can be isolated and used to detect bacterial infections in samples such as blood (Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007 -0095196, Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0013231; Park JW, Kim CH, Kim JH, Je BR, Roh KB, Kim SJ, Lee HH, Ryu JH, Lim JH, Oh BH, Lee WJ, Ha NC , Lee BL Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 104, 6602-6607 (2007).

또한, 본 발명자들은 펩티도글리칸 인식 과정에 관여하는 새로운 단백질인 갈색거저리 유래의 약 41kDa 크기의 프로테아제(Tenebrio Tm-41)을 분리하였으며, 상기 Tenebrio Tm-41이 펩티도글리칸 인식 신호에 의하여 활성화되는 상위 단계의 프로테아제인 갈색거저리 유래의 모듈러 세린 프로테아제(Tenebrio modular serine protease, Tenebrio-MSP)에 의하여 활성화되는 단백질임을 확인하고, 상기 단백질이 혈액 등의 검체 중 박테리아 감염을 검출하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 밝혀낸 바 있다 (대한민국 특허출원 제10-2007-0095195호, 2007. 9. 19.자 출원).In addition, the present inventors have peptidoglycan new protein of approximately 41kDa mealworm size of protease derived involved in glycan recognition - were isolated (Tenebrio Tm 41), wherein the Tenebrio Tm - 41 The peptidoglycan of brown modular serine proteases derived from the higher level of geojeori protease that is activated by the recognition signal (Tenebrio It was confirmed that the protein is activated by the modular serine protease ( Tenebrio- MSP), and it has been found that the protein can be usefully used to detect bacterial infection in samples such as blood (Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0095195). , Filed Sept. 19, 2007).

본 발명자들은 pro-PO 시스템에 관여하는 단백질들을 사용하여 분자생물학적 수준에서 펩티도글리칸 인식 신호가 어떻게 하류(downstream)로 전달되는지에 관한 구체적인 기전을 밝히고자 다양한 연구를 시도하였다. 그 결과, 펩티도글리칸 인식 과정에 관여하는 새로운 단백질을 분리였으며, 얻어진 새로운 단백질이 활성화 형태의 Tenebrio Tm-41에 의해 활성화되고, 활성화된 단백질이 다시 하위에 존재하는 Spatzle 단백질을 분해하여 톨-경로(Toll pathway)를 활성화시킨다는 것을 밝혀냈다. 따라서, 이를 이용할 경우 혈액 등의 검체 중 박테리아 감염을 검출하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.The inventors have attempted a variety of studies to elucidate the specific mechanism of how the peptidoglycan recognition signal is transmitted downstream at the molecular biological level using proteins involved in the pro-PO system. As a result, a new protein involved in the peptidoglycan recognition process was isolated and the new protein obtained was activated in the form of Tenebrio. It was found that activated by Tm - 41, the activated protein again degrades the Spatzle protein present in the lower part to activate the Toll pathway. Therefore, it can be usefully used to detect bacterial infection in samples such as blood.

따라서, 본 발명은 곤충의 생체 방어 반응인 Toll 활성화 경로 및 프로-페놀옥시다아제(pro-phenoloxidase, pro-PO) 활성화 시스템에 관여하는 신규의 단백질 및 이를 코딩하는 유전자를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel protein involved in the Toll activation pathway and pro-phenoloxidase (pro-PO) activation system, which is a biological defense reaction of insects, and a gene encoding the same.

In particular, although all of the proteins Tm-PGRP-SA, GNBP1 and MSP, which are involved in the peptidoglycan recognition process, were present in E1 and E2, no peptidoglycan-specific amidase activity was shown (column 6). However, peptidoglycan, Ca + 2 ion, and E1, E2, peptidoglycan in the presence of all fractions of the E3 - it can be seen that represents the specific amidase activity (column 1).

상기 도 6 및 7의 결과로부터 알 수 있는 바와 같이, 활성화 형태의 Tm-41은 하위과정에 있는 자이모겐 형태의 Tm-44 단백질을 분해하여 활성화시키며, 활성화된 Tm-44 단백질은 다시 하위에 존재하는 Spatzle 단백질을 절단하여 Toll-ectodomain과 결합함으로써 톨 경로(Toll pathway)를 활성화시키게 된다. 이는 Tm-44 단백질이 펩티도글리칸 인식 시그날 경로(pathway) 중에서 Spatzle 단백질의 상위 단계에 존재하는 프로테아제임을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 발명에 의해 새롭게 분리된 Tm-44는 이를 절단할 수 있는 형광기질 (예를 들어, 메틸쿠마린 등) 또는 발색단 (p-nitrophenol)을 이용할 경우, 박테리아의 펩티도글리칸을 선택적으로 검출할 수 있으므로, 즉, 최종 기질 절단 효소로서 기능할 수 있으므로 박테리아 감염의 검출용 키트에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 이상의 일련의 갈색거저리 유래의 pro-PO system에 관여하는 단백질들의 일련의 반응 과정을 요약하면 도 8과 같다. 도 8에서 SAE 및 SPE 는 각각 Tm-41 및 Tm-44 단백질을 의미한다.As can be seen from the results of FIGS. 6 and 7, the activated form of Tm-41 decomposes and activates the zymogen form of Tm-44 protein in the subprocess, and the activated Tm-44 protein is further lowered. The toll pathway is activated by cleaving the existing Spatzle protein and binding it to the Toll-ectodomain. It can be confirmed that the Tm-44 protein is a protease present in the upper level of the Spatzle protein in the peptidoglycan recognition signal path. Therefore, Tm-44 newly isolated by the present invention selectively detects bacterial peptidoglycan when using a fluorescent substrate (eg, methylcoumarin or the like) or a chromophore (p-nitrophenol) capable of cleaving it. As such, it can function as a final substrate cleavage enzyme, and thus can be usefully used in a kit for detecting bacterial infection. A summary of a series of reaction processes of proteins involved in the pro-PO system derived from a series of brown rice bran is as shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, SAE and SPE mean Tm-41 and Tm-44 proteins, respectively.
