Description

The subject of the present invention are the fusion single-stranded DNA polymerases Bst and the method of preparation thereof. The subject of the invention is also the nucleic acid molecule encoding the fusion polymerase NeqSSB-Bst according to the one of three variants of Bst polymerase: Full Length, Large Fragment, Short Fragment, and utilisation of the fusion DNA polymerases for isothermal amplification reactions.

DNA polymerases are the enzymes which play an essential role in the process of DNA replication and repair. They are widely used in various fields of science and are successfully utilised in sequencing or various PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) variants, where they catalyse the DNA synthesis processes in vitro, and this reaction is conducted in cycles with precisely defined thermal stages. Another and increasingly popular approach is the utilisation of the DNA polymerases in the isothermal techniques of DNA amplification which are not based on thermocycles and the reaction is conducted under constant temperature of elongation. Up to date, many such techniques have been developed for both DNA amplification and RNA amplification. The selection of the appropriate polymerase for a given technique depends mainly on its properties. Besides the basic polymerisation capabilities, the polymerases can also show the ability to hydrolyse DNA molecules thanks to the presence of the exonucleolytic domain or the reverse transcriptase activity. These characteristics are determined by the presence of the respective domains. The basic domains present in these enzymes are the polymerisation domain and 3′-5′ and 5′-3′ exonucleolytic domain. There are polymerases present where the deletion of the exonucleolytic domain leads to the obtaining of a functional protein with partially altered characteristics comparing with the native enzyme. The most popular polymerase of this type is Taq polymerase isolated from Thermus aquaticus bacterium, the discovery of which diametrically transformed the molecular biology. Without the 5′-3′ exonuclease activity the Taq1289 polymerase displays the increased thermostability, while it requires more Mg²⁺ ions and newly formed DNA strand contains fewer errors. The Bst polymerase is used for the isothermal amplification techniques. Its native form contains the non-active 3′-5′ exonucleolytic domain and active 5′-3′ exonucleolytic domain which activity can be disabled with a point mutation in position 73 (Tyr⁷³→Phe⁷³ and Tyr⁷³→Ala⁷³). This polymerase as well as Taq polymerase is the part of family A and is isolated from bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus. Its optimum activity is about 60° C. and without the exonuclease activity the polymerase exhibits the strand displacement activity which is highly useful in Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) reaction. The polymerase has an increased tolerance to clinical or environmental inhibitors comparing with other polymerases of this family, but still, taking into account the applications of this polymerase, it is important to seek the solutions which would lead mainly to the improvement of its processivity and the resistance to inhibitors.

NeqSSB protein is the member of Single-Stranded DNA Binding (SSB) protein family. The SSB proteins have various amino acid sequences and structures. However, they still contain one characteristic highly conserved Oligonucleotide/Oligosaccharide Binding (OB) Fold Domain consisting of about 100 amino acids. This domain is widely present in proteins exhibiting ssDNA-binding capability, and thus determines its basic characteristic common for all SSB proteins—non-specific binding of single-stranded DNA and, discovered far later, RNA binding capability. The SSB proteins play a key role in the processes closely associated with ssDNA. They are crucial in replication, recombination, and DNA repair. These proteins are responsible for the interactions with the single-stranded DNA, prevent the generation of secondary structures and protect against the degradation by nucleases.

The discovery of SSB proteins is dated for the first half of 1960s. The first SSB protein to be discovered are SSB proteins of T4 phage and E. coli. During the discovery, their high capabilities to interact with ssDNA interaction and to elute the protein using ssDNA-cellulose beads with high salt concentration (2 M NaCl) were elucidated. Additionally, the very high selectivity of this protein for the single-stranded DNA was also found out. The confirmation of the fundamental role of SSB proteins in the processes related to ssDNA is the fact that these proteins are present in all living organisms as well as the viruses.

The binding of SSB proteins with ssDNA is based on the packing of the aromatic amino acid residues between the residues of the oligonucleotide chain. Moreover, the positively-charged amino acid residues interact with the phosphate backbone of the ssDNA molecule.

Despite the fact that the NeqSSB protein belongs to the SSB family of proteins, it deviates with its characteristics from classical SSB proteins, hence it is referred to as NeqSSB-like protein. The protein originates from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Nanoarchaeum equitans, the parasite of craenarchaeon Ignicoccus hospitalis. The optimum growth conditions for this microorganisms require strictly anaerobic conditions and temperature of 90° C. Interestingly, Nanoarchaeum equitans contains the smallest known genome consisting of 490,885 base pairs. In contrast with most of known organisms with reduced genomes, this microorganism contains full set of enzymes taking part in replication, repair, and DNA recombination, including SSB protein.

The NeqSSB protein, as well as other proteins of this family, has the natural ability to bind DNA. It consists of 243 amino acid residues, and contains one OB domain in its structure and is biologically active as a monomer, similarly as in case of some viral SSB proteins. The reports show that comparing with other SSB proteins NeqSSB protein exhibits unusual capabilities concerning binding of all DNA forms (ssDNA, dsDNA), and mRNA without structural preferences. Moreover, the protein shows high thermostability. The half-life while maintaining the biological activity is 5 min in 100° C., while the melting temperature is 100.2° C.

To meet the requirements posed by modern diagnostics, molecular biology, or genetic engineering, it is necessary to improve the DNA polymerases to provide useful features in these fields of science. The modification introduced so far focus mainly on the introduction of the improved buffers, amplification reaction enhancers, or mutation of the DNA polymerases. The mutations lead to the obtaining of the enzymes with the increased thermostability and resistance to the inhibitors present in the clinical or environmental samples.

The DNA polymerase mechanism of action includes several significant steps. The first one consists of the attachment of the enzyme to the DNA matrix. Obtained DNA-DNA complex associates the respective dNTPs (deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates) as the result of the nucleophilic attack of the 3′ OH end on the nucleotide phosphorus atom. The last step leads to the generation of the phosphodiester bond and the release of the pyrophosphate.

One of the important stages of the polymerising actions of these enzymes, which is responsible for their final efficiency, is the initiation process related with the biding to the matrix DNA. Due to that reason the modification of the known polymerases is justified to facilitate the binding to the DNA strand subjected to polymerisation. An example of such an modification can be the generation of fusion DNA polymerases with proteins which exhibit a natural ability to bind single- and/or double-stranded DNA. The literature presents only several examples of such fusion DNA polymerases with the majority of them being fusions with thermostable enzymes used mainly for the Polymerase Chain Reactions.

The studies suggest that the fusion of the Taq, Pfu, Tpa, or KOD DNA polymerase with the DNA-binding protein Sso7d from hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus, lead to the 5 to 17 times increase in the polymerase processivity. Similarly, the increase in the processivity and fidelity of the DNA polymerase of R869 bacteriophage was observed after fusion with its indigenous SSB protein (R869SSB) which binds single-stranded DNA.

The European Patent EP 1 934 372 B1 discloses the DNA polymerase of Thermococcus zilligi fused with SsoSSB protein of archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus indicating the increase in the efficiency and the processivity of the modified enzyme.

Additionally, the fusion of TaqStoffel polymerase with NeqSSB protein capable of binding to the all types of DNA and with DBD domain of P. furiosus ligase was recently reported. Both fusions lead to the improvement in the functional features of enzymes, especially improved the processivity and thermostability of the native enzyme and significantly increased its tolerance to the clinical inhibitors (lactoferrin, heparin, whole blood). Small number of fusions of polymerases such as Bst and129 used in the isothermal reactions was also conducted. They are connected via HhH (Helix-hairpin-helix) domain of the topoisomerase V of Methanopyrus kandleri, what increased the affinity of the polymerase to DNA without a negative influence on the strand displacement activity (in fusion polymerases Bst and 29). Moreover, higher fidelity and amplification efficiency using plasmid and genome DNA was observed (in case of 129).

The literature presents also the fusion of Bst-like polymerase isolated from Geobacillus sp. 777. The chimers of the polymerase with DBD domain of the ligase Pyrococcus abyssi and Sto7d protein were generated and exhibited an increase in the processivity and the resistance to inhibitors (urea, whole blood, heparin, EDTA, NaCl, and ethanol) in comparison with the native polymerase.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fusion DNA polymerase Bst with NeqSSB protein binding to all types of DNA and RNA. Surprisingly, the problem was solved to a high extent in the present invention.

The subject of the present invention is a fusion DNA polymerase Bst with NeqSSB protein binding all types of DNA and RNA. Three Bst polymerase variants were subjected to the modifications: Full length—whole amino acid sequence of DNA|Bst polymerase with the disabled 5′-3′ activity thanks to the point mutation; Large Fragment—DNA|Bst polymerase without 5′-3′ domain and Short Fragment—short version with the deletion of both exonucleolytic domains. All variants of the Bst polymerase were fused with the NeqSSB protein by the polymerase N-end using a linker consisting of six amino acids.

The essence of the invention is the fusion polymerase of single-stranded DNA polymerase Bst or another polymerase of this class of DNA polymerases connected with NeqSSB protein or a protein with a sequence similar to NeqSSB in the degree not higher than 50% at N-end of the polymerase using a linker of an exemplary amino acid sequence Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly-Val-Asp or fused directly without a linker, wherein the mentioned polymerase is present in three different variants.

EXAMPLE

Fusion DNA Polymerase NeqSSB-Bst

Fusion DNA polymerases NeqSSB-Bst were obtained by fusion of three various Bst polymerases with NeqSSB protein at polymerase N-end using the linker consisting of six amino acids of the following sequence: Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly-Val-Asp. The sequences of the three variants of fusion DNA polymerase are presented in the figure SEQ. 1-3 (amino acid sequences) and SEQ. 4-6 (nucleotide sequences). DNA polymerases were obtained in the laboratory scale in the prokaryotic system based on Escherichia coli bacteria.

Preparation—Example 1

First step of the DNA polymerase preparation includes the expression of the gene encoding the enzyme in the optimised conditions in microbiological shaker: growth temperature—30° C., incubation time of the medium after induction—3 to 20 h, inductor concentration—0.1 to 1 mM IPTG. In the protein purification process the obtained cell lysate is subjected to the disintegration using ultrasound and removal of the DNA genomic contamination using dsDNase. Thanks to the presence of the oligohistidine domain, the second purification step utilises the metal affinity chromatography with His-Trap beads (FIG. 1). The next steps cover triple dialysis until obtaining the conditions which provide the stability for DNA polymerase (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.1, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50% Glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100), gel filtration, and densification of the preparation. All the processes were conducted in 4° C. The purity of the obtained proteins was tested using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the number of units for the obtained preparation was determined using EvaEZ Fluorometric Polymerase Activity Assay Kit Biotium (USA) according to the definition of unit: 1 activity unit [1 U] is the amount of DNA polymerase which can incorporate 10 nmol of nucleotides in 30 min in its optimum operation temperature 65° C. (FIG. 2). 1 litre of the laboratory scale culture provides approx. 5 mg of purified preparation with the activity of approx. 10 000 U, what enables the respective number of amplification reactions.

Preparation—Example 2

Expression of the gene encoding the fusion DNA polymerase was conducted in the conditions providing appropriate oxygenation of the liquid culture in the temperature of 28° C. Logarithmic-phase cultures were induced using IPTG with the amount providing the protein expression—IPTG in the range of 1 mM to 0.1 mM and incubation of 3 to 20 hours (FIG. 3). After that the cell lysate was mechanically disintegrated and purified using metal affinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. The obtained fusion DNA polymerases were subjected to the dialysis for the storage conditions (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.1, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50% Glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100) and provided in the concentration of 1 U/μL based on the commercial EvaEZ Fluorometric Polymerase Activity Assay Kit of Biotium (USA) according to the definition of unit.

Preparation—Example 3

An efficient expression of the gene encoding the polymerase Bst fused with NeqSSB protein was obtained in culture in 37° C. and induction of IPTG in range of 1 mM to 0.1 mM for 3 to 20 hours (FIG. 3). Centrifuged and mechanically disrupted cell lysate was purified using chromatographic techniques (metal affinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography), suspended in the formulation buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.1, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50% Glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100) and provided in the concentration of 1 U/μL. The amount of DNA units was defined based on the definition of unit using the EvaEZ Fluorometric Polymerase Activity Assay Kit of Biotium (USA).

The comparative analysis of the properties of the enzymes being the subject of the invention with the reference DNA polymerase Bst have shown that the presence of an additional DNA-binding NeqSSB protein has a positive impact on the DNA polymerase properties. The thermostability of the all obtained fusion variants of the DNA polymerases in comparison with the reference DNA polymerase Bst was increased by approx. 20% (FIG. 4). Moreover, the DNA polymerases in fusion with NeqSSB protein shown the threefold increase of processivity (FIG. 5). The fusion DNA polymerases tolerate the concentration of clinical (lactoferrin, heparin) and environmental (humic acid, soil, polyphenols) inhibitors in the reaction mixtures increased even by several dozen of times comparing with the reference polymerase (FIG. 6). The fusion DNA polymerases exhibited increased sensitivity by several times and thus increased affinity to the DNA matrix comparing with the reference DNA polymerase Bst.
