Lactoferrin receptor genes of Moraxella

FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the molecular cloning of genes encoding lactoferrin receptor (LfR) proteins and, in particular, to the cloning of lactoferrin receptor genes (lbp genes) from Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis bacteria are Gram-negative diplococcal pathogens which are carried asymptomatically in the healthy human respiratory tract. However, in recent years, M. catarrhalis has been recognized as an important causative agent of otitis media. In addition, M. catarrhalis has been associated with sinusitis, conjunctivitis, and urogenital infections, as well as with a number of inflammatory diseases of the lower respiratory tract in children and adults, including pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, tracheitis, and emphysema (refs. 1 to 8). (Throughout this application, various references are cited in parentheses to describe more fully the state of the art to which this invention pertains. Full bibliographic information for each citation is found at the end of the specification, immediately preceding the claims. The disclosures of these references are hereby incorporated by reference into the present disclosure). Occasionally, M. catarrhalis invades to cause septicaemia, arthritis, endocarditis, and meningitis (refs. 9 to 13).
M. catarrhalis colonizes the human upper respiratory tract and is an important cause of otitis media in infants and children as well as lower respiratory tract infections in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Otitis media is one of the most common illnesses of early childhood and approximately 80% of all children suffer at least one middle ear infection before the age of three (ref. 14). Chronic otitis media has been associated with auditory and speech impairment in children, and in some cases, has been associated with learning disabilities. Conventional treatments for otitis media include antibiotic administration and surgical procedures, including tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and tympanocentesis. In the United States, treatment costs for otitis media are estimated to be between one and two billion dollars per year.
In otitis media cases, M. catarrhalis is commonly co-isolated from middle ear fluid along with Streptococcus pneumoniae and non-typable Haemophilus influenzae, which are believed to be responsible for 50% and 30% of otitis media infections, respectively. M. catarrhalis is believed to be responsible for approximately 20% of otitis media infections (ref. 15). Epidemiological reports indicate that the number of cases of otitis media attributable to M. catarrhalis is increasing, along with the number of antibiotic-resistant isolates of M. catarrhalis. Thus, prior to 1970, no .beta.-lactamase-producing M. catarrhalis isolates had been reported, but since the mid-seventies, an increasing number of .beta.-lactamase-expressing isolates have been detected. Recent surveys suggest that up to 80 to 85% of clinical isolates produce .beta.-lactamase (ref. 16, 22, 23).
Iron-restriction is a general host defence mechanism against microbial pathogens. A number of bacterial species including Neisseria meningitidis (ref. 17, 24), N. gonorrhoeae (ref. 25) and M. catarrhalis (ref. 17), express outer membrane proteins which specifically bind human lactoferrin.
M. catarrhalis infection may lead to serious disease. It would be advantageous to provide a recombinant source of lactoferrin binding proteins as antigens in immunogenic preparations including vaccines, carriers for other antigens and immunogens and the generation of diagnostic reagents. The genes encoding lactoferrin binding proteins and fragments thereof are particularly desirable and useful in the specific identification and diagnosis of Moraxella and for immunization against disease caused by M. catarrhalis and for the generation of diagnostic reagents.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The nucleic acid molecules and isolated and purified lactoferrin binding proteins provided herein are useful for the specific detection of strains of Moraxella and for diagnosis of infection by Moraxella. The purified and isolated nucleic acid molecules provided herein, such as DNA, are also useful for expressing the lbp genes by recombinant DNA means for providing, in an economical manner, purified and isolated lactoferrin receptor proteins free of other Moraxella proteins, as well as subunits, fragments or analogs thereof.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Any Moraxella strain may be conveniently used to provide the purified and isolated nucleic acid, which may be in the form of DNA molecules, comprising at least a portion of the nucleic acid coding for a lactoferrin receptor as typified by embodiments of the present invention. Such strains are generally available from clinical sources and from bacterial culture collections, such as the American Type Culture Collection.
In this application, the terms "lactoferrin receptor" (LfR) and "lactoferrin binding proteins" (Lbp) are used to define a family of Lbp1, Lbp2 and/or Lbp3 proteins which includes those having variations in their amino acid sequences including those naturally occurring in various strains of, for example, Moraxella. The purified and isolated DNA molecules comprising at least a portion coding for lactoferrin receptor of the present invention also includes those encoding functional analogs of lactoferrin receptor proteins Lbp1, Lbp2 and/or Lbp3 of Moraxella. In this application, a first protein is a "functional analog" of a second protein if the first protein is immunologically related to and/or has the same function as the second protein. The functional analog may be, for example, a fragment of the protein, or a substitution, addition or deletion mutant thereof.
Lactoferrin receptor proteins were purified from M. catarrhalis membrane preparations by affinity chromatography on biotinylated human lactoferrin. Cyanogen bromide fragments were generated and amino acid sequence analysis of a 13 kDa fragment provided an internal Lbp1 sequence of MVQYTRKGENKAH (SEQ ID No: 22). The C-terminus of M. catarrhalis Tbp1 (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/613,009), N. meningitidis Tbp1 (ref. 27) and H. influenzae Tbp1 (ref. 31) has a conserved LEMKF (SEQ ID No: 26) sequence. Oligonucleotide primers were generated based upon these two sequences and used to PCR amplify an approximately 2.2 kb fragment of the lbpA gene from M. catarrhalis strains 4223 and Q8. Partial sequence analysis demonstrated that the amplified genes were lbpA and not tbpA (see FIG. 1). The 2.2 kb PCR fragments were used to screen genomic libraries.
Chromosomal DNA from 4223 and Q8 was partially digested with Sau3A I and 15 to 23 kb fragments were purified before cloning into BamH I arms of the lambda vector EMBL3. The libraries were screened with the PCR fragment and positive clones were subjected to three rounds of plaque purification. Phage clone 4223LfR.17 containing an approximately 16 kb insert from 4223 and phage clone Q8LfR.13 containing an approximately 16 kb insert from Q8 were selected for further analysis.
Restriction enzyme and Southern blot analyses revealed that an internal Hind III fragment of approximately 9 kb contained at least a portion of the lbpA gene for both phage clones. The approximately 9 kb Hind III fragments were subcloned into pUC or pBluescript-based plasmids and sequenced. In each case, they contained the complete lbpA gene as well as an upstream gene identified as lbpB, and a downstream gene designated as orf3. The lbpB-lbpA gene arrangement is the same as present for Neisseria strains, but there has been no identification of a third gene for these organisms.
The gene arrangement is different than that observed for the M. catarrhalis tfr operon which was tbpA-orf-tbpB (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/613,009). There are promoter elements found upstream of both the lbpB and lbpA genes from strains 4223 and Q8. The third ORF is located immediately downstream of lbpA, separated by a single nucleotide and there are no obvious promoter elements upstream of it within the lbpA gene.
By analogy with the N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae transferrin receptor operons (ref. 26, 27, 28), the lactoferrin receptor operon was presumed to consist of two genes encoding lactoferrin binding proteins 1 and 2 (Lbp1 and Lbp2) (ref. 29). However, we report here that, for M. catarrhalis, there also appears to be a third gene located immediately downstream of lbpA encoding a lactoferrin binding protein 3 (Lpb3).
The M. catarrhalis 4223 and Q8 lbpA genes encode proteins of molecular mass about 110 kDa and that are highly conserved with only seven residues difference between them. The N-terminal sequence of the native Lbp protein is unknown and there are two possible ATG start codons at positions 1 or 16. The first of these is adjacent to consensus sequences for promoter elements and the second is followed by a putative signal sequence. The exact peptide sequence used to design the PCR amplification primers was not found. When compared with other known Lbp1 sequences from N. meningitidis (refs. 31, 24) or N. gonorrhoeae (ref. 25) there is about 32% sequence identity and about 50% sequence homology between the M. catarrhalis and the Neisseria proteins. There is some homology between the M. catarrhalis Lbp1 and Tbp1 proteins as shown in FIG. 1, but it is very scattered.
The M. catarrhalis 4223 and Q8 lbpB genes encode 898 and 894 amino acid proteins, respectively. The M. catarrhalis Lbp2 proteins are 92% identical and 95% homologous. There is a consensus sequence for lipidation at the Cys.sup.32 residue, suggesting that Lbp2 is a lipoprotein like Tbp2. There is little homology between the M. catarrhalis Lbp2 and Tbp2 proteins (FIG. 8) with the exception of a previously identified peptide sequence (LEGGFY (SEQ ID No: 27)) that is also found in N. meningitidis and H. influenzae Tbp2 (ref. 30).
The sequence of the proposed M. catarrhalis lfr-related downstream orf3 is conserved between strains 4223 and Q8. The encoded 4223 and Q8 Lbp3 proteins when compared to the PIR and Swiss Prok protein databases were found to be previously unknown. The Lbp3 protein may bind lactoferrin itself or may be an associated or regulatory protein for Lbp1 and/or Lbp2.
Results shown in Table 1 below illustrate the ability of anti-Lbp1 guinea pig antiserum, produced by immunization with affinity purified Lbp1 to lyse M. catarrhalis. The results show that the antisera produced by immunization with Lbp1 protein isolated from M. catarrhalis isolate 4223 was bactericidal against a homologous non-clumping M. catarrhalis strain RH408 (a strain previously deposited in connection with U.S. patent application Ser No. 08/328,589, assigned to the assignee hereof (WO 96/12733 published May 2, 1996) derived from isolate 4223. In addition, antisera produced by immunization with Lbp1 protein isolated from M. catarrhalis 4223 were bactericidal against the heterologous non-clumping strain Q8. The ability of isolated and purified lactoferrin binding protein to generate bactericidal antibodies is in vivo evidence of utility of these proteins as vaccines to protect against disease caused by Moraxella.
Thus, in accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vaccine against Moraxella comprising an immunogenically-effective amount of lactoferrin binding protein or fragment or analog thereof, or a nucleic acid molecule (DNA or RNA) encoding the lactoferrin binding protein or fragment or analog thereof, and a physiologically-acceptable carrier therefor. The lactoferrin binding protein or fragment or analog thereof provided herein may also be used as a carrier protein for haptens, polysaccharide or peptides to make conjugate vaccines against antigenic determinants unrelated to lactoferrin binding proteins.
In additional embodiments of the present invention, therefore, the lactoferrin binding protein as provided herein may be used as a carrier molecule to prepare chimeric molecules and conjugate vaccines (including glycoconjugates) against pathogenic bacteria, including encapsulated bacteria. Thus, for example, glycoconjugates of the present invention may be used to confer protection against disease and infection caused by any bacteria having polysaccharide antigens including lipooligosaccharides (LOS) and PRP. Such bacterial pathogens may include, for example, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Neisseria meningitidis, Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus mutans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Particular antigens which can be conjugated to lactoferrin binding protein and methods to achieve such conjugations are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/433,522 filed Nov. 23, 1993 (WO 94/12641), assigned to the assignee hereof and the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference thereto.
In another embodiment, the carrier function of lactoferrin binding protein may be used, for example, to induce an immune response against abnormal polysaccharides of tumour cells, or to produce anti-tumour antibodies that can be conjugated to chemotherapeutic or bioactive agents.
The lactoferrin binding protein provided herein is useful as a diagnostic reagent, as an antigen or for the generation of anti-lactoferrin protein binding antibodies, antigen for vaccination against disease caused by species of Moraxella and for detecting infection by Moraxella and other such bacteria
The invention extends to lactoferrin binding proteins or fragments or analogs thereof or nucleic acid molecules encoding the same from Moraxella catarrhalis for use as an active ingredient in a vaccine against disease caused by infection with Moraxella. The invention also extends to a pharmaceutical vaccinal composition containing lactoferrin binding proteins or fragments or analogs thereof or nucleic acid molesules encoding the same from Moraxella catarrhalis and optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or diluent.
In a further aspect the invention provides the use of lactoferrin binding proteins or fragments or analogs thereof or nucleic acid molesules encoding the same for the preparation of a pharmaceutical vaccinal composition for immunization against disease caused by infection with Moraxella.
It is clearly apparent to one skilled in the art, that the various embodiments of the present invention have many applications in the fields of vaccination, diagnosis, treatment of, for example, Moraxella infections and the generation of immunological and other diagnostic reagents. A further non-limiting discussion of such uses is further presented below.
1. Vaccine Preparation and Use
Immunogenic compositions, suitable to be used as vaccines, may be prepared from immunogenic lactoferrin receptor proteins, analogs and fragments thereof encoded by the nucleic acid molecules as well as the nucleic acid molecules disclosed herein. The vaccine elicits an immune response which produces antibodies, including anti-lactoferrin receptor antibodies and antibodies that are opsonizing or bactericidal. Should the vaccinated subject be challenged by Moraxella, the antibodies bind to the lactoferrin receptor and thereby prevent access of the bacteria to an iron source which is required for viability. Furthermore, opsonizing or bactericidal anti-lactoferrin receptor antibodies may also provide protection by alternative mechanisms.
Immunogenic compositions, including vaccines, may be prepared as injectables, as liquid solutions or emulsions. The lactoferrin receptor proteins, analogs and fragments thereof and encoding nucleic acid molecules as well as the nucleic acid molecules described herein may be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are compatible with the lactoferrin receptor proteins, fragments, analogs or nucleic acid molecules. Such excipients may include water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, and combinations thereof. The immunogenic compositions and vaccines may further contain auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, or adjuvants, to enhance the effectiveness of the vaccines. Immunogenic compositions and vaccines may be administered parenterally, by injection subcutaneously, intradermally or intramuscularly. Alternatively, the immunogenic compositions provided according to the present invention, may be formulated and delivered in a manner to evoke an immune response at mucosal surfaces. Thus, the immunogenic composition may be administered to mucosal surfaces by, for example, the nasal or oral (intragastric) routes. The immunogenic composition may be provided in combination with a targeting molecule for delivery to specific cells of the immune system or to mucosal surfaces. Some such targeting molecules include vitamin B12 and fragments of bacterial toxins, as described in WO 92/17167 (Biotech Australia Pty. Ltd.), and monoclonal antibodies, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,194,254 (Barber et al). Alternatively, other modes of administration, including suppositories and oral formulations, may be desirable. For suppositories, binders and carriers may include, for example, polyalkalene glycols or triglycerides. Oral formulations may include normally employed incipients such as, for example, pharmaceutical grades of saccharine, cellulose and magnesium carbonate. These compositions may take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, pills, capsules, sustained release formulations or powders and contain about 1 to 95% of the lactoferrin receptor proteins, fragments, analogs and/or nucleic acid molecules.
The vaccines are administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation, and in such amount as will be therapeutically effective, protective and immunogenic. The quantity to be administered depends on the subject to be treated, including, for example, the capacity of the individual's immune system to synthesize antibodies, and, if needed, to produce a cell-mediated immune response. Precise amounts of active ingredient required to be administered depend on the judgement of the practitioner. However, suitable dosage ranges are readily determinable by one skilled in the art and may be of the order of micrograms of the lactoferrin receptor proteins, analogs and fragments thereof and/or nucleic acid molecules. Suitable regimes for initial administration and booster doses are also variable, but may include an initial administration followed by subsequent administrations. The dosage of the vaccine may also depend on the route of administration and will vary according to the size of the host.
The nucleic acid molecules encoding the lactoferrin receptor of Moraxella may be used directly for immunization by administration of the DNA directly, for example, by injection for genetic immunization or by constructing a live vector, such as Salmonella, BCG, adenovirus, poxvirus, vaccinia or poliovirus containing the nucleic acid molecules. A discussion of some live vectors that have been used to carry heterologous antigens to the immune system is contained in, for example, O'Hagan (ref. 18). Processes for the direct injection of DNA into test subjects for genetic immunization are described in, for example, Ulmer et al. (ref. 19).
Immunogenicity can be significantly improved if the antigens are co-administered with adjuvants, commonly used as an 0.05 to 1.0 percent solution in phosphate buffered saline. Adjuvants enhance the immunogenicity of an antigen but are not necessarily immunogenic themselves. Adjuvants may act by retaining the antigen locally near the site of administration to produce a depot effect facilitating a slow, sustained release of antigen to cells of the immune system. Adjuvants can also attract cells of the immune system to an antigen depot and stimulate such cells to elicit immune responses.
Immunostimulatory agents or adjuvants have been used for many years to improve the host immune responses to, for example, vaccines. Intrinsic adjuvants, such as lipopolysaccharides, normally are the components of killed or attenuated bacteria used as vaccines. Extrinsic adjuvants are immunomodulators which are typically non-covalently linked to antigens and are formulated to enhance the host immune responses. Thus, adjuvants have been identified that enhance the immune response to antigens delivered parenterally. Some of these adjuvants are toxic, however, and can cause undesirable side-effects, making them unsuitable for use in humans and many animals. Indeed, only aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate (collectively commonly referred to as alum) are routinely used as adjuvants in human and veterinary vaccines. The efficacy of alum in increasing antibody responses to diphtheria and tetanus toxoids is well established and an HBsAg vaccine has been adjuvanted with alum.
A wide range of extrinsic adjuvants can provoke potent immune responses to antigens. These include saponins complexed to membrane protein antigens (immune stimulating complexes), pluronic polymers with mineral oil, killed mycobacteria and mineral oil, Freund's complete adjuvant, bacterial products, such as muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as well as lipid A, and liposomes.
To efficiently induce humoral immune responses (HIR) and cell-mediated immunity (CMI), immunogens are often emulsified in adjuvants. Many adjuvants are toxic, inducing granulomas, acute and chronic inflammations (Freund's complete adjuvant, FCA), cytolysis (saponins and pluronic polymers) and pyrogenicity, arthritis and anterior uveitis (LPS and MDP). Although FCA is an excellent adjuvant and widely used in research, it is not licensed for use in human or veterinary vaccines because of its toxicity.
Desirable characteristics of ideal adjuvants include:
(1) lack of toxicity;
(2) ability to stimulate a long-lasting immune response;
(3) simplicity of manufacture and stability in long-term storage;
(4) ability to elicit both CMI and HIR to antigens administered by various routes, if required;
(5) synergy with other adjuvants;
(6) capability of selectively interacting with populations of antigen presenting cells (APC);
(7) ability to specifically elicit appropriate T.sub.H 1 or T.sub.H 2 cell-specific immune responses; and
(8) ability to selectively increase appropriate antibody isotype levels (for example, IgA) against antigens.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,855,283 granted to Lockhoff et al on Aug. 8, 1989, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, teaches glycolipid analogues including N-glycosylamides, N-glycosylureas and N-glycosylcarbamates, each of which is substituted in the sugar residue by an amino acid, as immuno-modulators or adjuvants. Thus, Lockhoff et al. 1991 (ref. 20) reported that N-glycolipid analogs displaying structural similarities to the naturally-occurring glycolipids, such as glycophospholipids and glycoglycerolipids, are capable of eliciting strong immune responses in both herpes simplex virus vaccine and pseudorabies virus vaccine. Some glycolipids have been synthesized from long chain-alkylamines and fatty acids that are linked directly with the sugars through the anomeric carbon atom, to mimic the functions of the naturally occurring lipid residues.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,258,029 granted to Moloney, assigned to the assignee hereof and incorporated herein by reference thereto, teaches that octadecyl tyrosine hydrochloride (OTH) functions as an adjuvant when complexed with tetanus toxoid and formalin inactivated type I, II and III poliomyelitis virus vaccine. Also, Nixon-George et al. 1990, (ref. 21) reported that octadecyl esters of aromatic amino acids complexed with a recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen, enhanced the host immune responses against hepatitis B virus.
2. Immunoassays
The lactoferrin receptor proteins, analogs and/or fragments thereof of the present invention are useful as immunogens, as antigens in immunoassays including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), RIAs and other non-enzyme linked antibody binding assays or procedures known in the art for the detection of anti-Moraxella, lactoferrin receptor protein antibodies. In ELISA assays, the lactoferrin receptor protein, analogs and/or fragments corresponding to portions of Lfr protein, are immobilized onto a selected surface, for example, a surface capable of binding proteins or peptides such as the wells of a polystyrene microtiter plate. After washing to remove incompletely adsorbed lactoferrin receptor, analogs and/or fragments, a nonspecific protein such as a solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or casein that is known to be antigenically neutral with regard to the test sample may be bound to the selected surface. This allows for blocking of nonspecific adsorption sites on the immobilizing surface and thus reduces the background caused by non-specific bindings of antisera onto the surface.
The immobilizing surface is then contacted with a sample, such as clinical or biological materials, to be tested in a manner conducive to immune complex (antigen/antibody) formation. This procedure may include diluting the sample with diluents, such as BSA, bovine gamma globulin (BGG) and/or phosphate buffered saline (PBS)/Tween. The sample is then allowed to incubate for from about 2 to 4 hours, at temperatures such as of the order of about 25.degree. to 37.degree. C. Following incubation, the sample-contacted surface is washed to remove non-immunocomplexed material. The washing procedure may include washing with a solution such as PBS/Tween or a borate buffer.
Following formation of specific immunocomplexes between the test sample and the bound lactoferrin receptor protein, analogs and/or fragments and subsequent washing, the occurrence, and even amount, of immunocomplex formation may be determined by subjecting the immunocomplex to a second antibody having specificity for the first antibody. If the test sample is of human origin, the second antibody is an antibody having specificity for human immunoglobulins and in general IgG. To provide detecting means, the second antibody may have an associated activity such as an enzymatic activity that will generate, for example, a color development upon incubating with an appropriate chromogenic substrate. Quantification may then achieved by measuring the degree of color generation using, for example, a spectrophotometer.
3. Use of Sequences as Hybridization Probes
The nucleotide sequences of the present invention, comprising the sequence of the lactoferrin receptor gene, now allow for the identification and cloning of the lactoferrin receptor genes from any species of Moraxella.
The nucleotide sequences comprising the sequence of the lactoferrin receptor genes of the present invention are useful for their ability to selectively form duplex molecules with complementary stretches of other lfr genes. Depending on the application, a variety of hybridization conditions may be employed to achieve varying degrees of selectivity of the probe toward the other lfr genes. For a high degree of selectivity, relatively stringent conditions are used to form the duplexes, such as low salt and/or high temperature conditions, such as provided by 0.02 M to 0.15 M NaCl at temperatures of between about 50.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. For some applications, less stringent hybridization conditions are required such as 0.15 M to 0.9 M salt, at temperatures ranging from between about 20.degree. C. to 55.degree. C. Hybridization conditions can also be rendered more stringent by the addition of increasing amounts of formamide, to destabilize the hybrid duplex. Thus, particular hybridization conditions can be readily manipulated, and will generally be a method of choice depending on the desired results. In general, convenient hybridization temperatures in the presence of 50% formamide are: 42.degree. C. for a probe which is 95 to 100% homologous to the target fragment, 37.degree. C. for 90 to 95% homology and 32.degree. C. for 85 to 90% homology.
In a clinical diagnostic embodiment, the nucleic acid sequences of the lfr genes of the present invention may be used in combination with an appropriate means, such as a label, for determining hybridization. A wide variety of appropriate indicator means are known in the art, including radioactive, enzymatic or other ligands, such as avidin/biotin and digoxigenin-labelling, which are capable of providing a detectable signal. In some diagnostic embodiments, an enzyme tag such as urease, alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase, instead of a radioactive tag may be used. In the case of enzyme tags, calorimetric indicator substrates are known which can be employed to provide a means visible to the human eye or spectrophotometrically, to identify specific hybridization with samples containing lfr gene sequences.
The nucleic acid sequences of lfr genes of the present invention are useful as hybridization probes in solution hybridizations and in embodiments employing solid-phase procedures. In embodiments involving solidphase procedures, the test DNA (or RNA) from samples, such as clinical samples, including exudates, body fluids (e. g., serum, amniotic fluid, middle ear effusion, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) or even tissues, is adsorbed or otherwise affixed to a selected matrix or surface. The fixed, single-stranded nucleic acid is then subjected to specific hybridization with selected probes comprising the nucleic acid sequences of the lfr genes or fragments thereof of the present invention under desired conditions. The selected conditions will depend on the particular circumstances based on the particular criteria required depending on, for example, the G+C contents, type of target nucleic acid, source of nucleic acid, size of hybridization probe etc. Following washing of the hybridization surface so as to remove non-specifically bound probe molecules, specific hybridization is detected, or even quantified, by means of the label. It is preferred to select nucleic acid sequence portions which are conserved among species of Moraxella. The selected probe may be at least 18 bp and may be in the range of about 30 to 90 bp.
4. Expression of the Lactoferrin Receptor Genes
Plasmid vectors containing replicon and control sequences which are derived from species compatible with the host cell may be used for the expression of the lactoferrin receptor genes in expression systems. The vector ordinarily carries a replication site, as well as marking sequences which are capable of providing phenotypic selection in transformed cells. For example, E. coli may be transformed using pBR322 which contains genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance and thus provides easy means for identifying transformed cells. The pBR322 plasmid, or other microbial plasmid or phage, must also contain, or be modified to contain, promoters which can be used by the host cell for expression of its own proteins.
In addition, phage vectors containing replicon and control sequences that are compatible with the host can be used as a transforming vector in connection with these hosts. For example, the phage in lambda GEM.TM.-11 may be utilized in making recombinant phage vectors which can be used to transform host cells, such as E. coli LE392.
Promoters commonly used in recombinant DNA construction include the .beta.-lactamase (penicillinase) and lactose promoter systems and other microbial promoters, such as the T7 promoter system as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,952,496. Details concerning the nucleotide sequences of promoters are known, enabling a skilled worker to ligate them functionally with genes. The particular promoter used will generally be a matter of choice depending upon the desired results. Hosts that are appropriate for expression of the lactoferrin receptor genes, fragments or analogs thereof, may include E. coli, Bacillus species, Haemophilus, fungi, yeast, Moraxella, Bordetella, or the baculovirus expression system may be used.
In accordance with this invention, it is preferred to produce the lactoferrin receptor protein, fragment or analog thereof, by recombinant methods, particularly since the naturally occurring LfR protein as purified from a culture of a species of Moraxella may include trace amounts of toxic materials or other contaminants. This problem can be avoided by using recombinantly produced LfR protein in heterologous systems which can be isolated from the host in a manner to minimize contaminants in the purified material. Particularly desirable hosts for expression in this regard include Gram positive bacteria which do not have LPS and are, therefore, endotoxin free. Such hosts include species of Bacillus and may be particularly useful for the production of non-pyrogenic lactoferrin receptor proteins, fragments or analogs thereof. Furthermore, recombinant methods of production permit the manufacture of Lbp1 or Lbp2 or Lbp3 or respective analogs or fragments thereof, separate from one another which is distinct from the normal combined proteins present in Moraxella.

Example 1
This Example illustrates the generation of oligonucleotide primers for PCR amplification of M. catarrhalis lbpA.
Native Lbp1 was purified by affinity chromatography as described in U.S. Patent application Ser. No. 08/552,232, assigned to the assignee hereof and the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Lactoferrin-Sepharose columns were prepared from the lactoferrin preparations by coupling a 10 mg/ml solution of lactoferrin to activated Sepharose (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) according to the manufacturer's instruction for coupling ligands to cyanogenbromide-activated Sepharose (CNBr-Sepharose). The resulting column was washed with 2 column volumes of 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.0) containing 6 M guanidine hydrochloride to remove non-covalently bound lactoferrin.
Bacterial cells resuspended from fresh cultures on chocolate plates were used to inoculate prewarmed Brian Heart Infusion broth containing 100 .mu.M EDDA (ethylenediaminedi(O-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid) to a starting A.sub.600 of 0.02. The resulting culture was incubated at 37.degree. C. with shaking for 16 hours prior to harvest by centrifugation at 9,000.times.g for 15 minutes. The cells were resuspended to 0.2 gm/ml in 50 mM TrisHCl, pH 8 buffer containing 50 .mu.g/ml phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. The cells were lysed by passing the suspension through a French pressure cell at 16,000 lb/in.sub.2 and cell debris was removed by centrifugation at 9,000.times.g for 15 minutes. Crude total membranes were collected by centrifugation at 140,000.times.g for 1 hour and resuspended in 50 mM TrisHCl, pH 8 buffer.
Ten mg of crude membrane protein was diluted in 1 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 1 M NaCl, 20 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) buffer containing 0.75% Sarkosyl NL37. The solubilized membrane preparation was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove cell debris. The supernatant containing outer membrane components was mixed with 10 .mu.l of the lactoferrin-Sepharose resin and incubated for 1 hour to allow the binding of lactoferrin receptor protein to its respective ligand. The resin was collected by centrifugation at 500.times.g for 10 minutes and resuspended in 50 mM TrisHCl, 1 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.75% "SARKOSYL", pH 8 buffer. The resin was again collected by centrifugation and washed two more times in the above buffer. After the final wash, the resin was resuspended in 20 mls of the above buffer and poured into 1 cm diameter chromatography column. The packed resin was washed with an additional 10 mls of 50 mM TrisHCl, 1 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.5% "SARKOSYL" and the receptor proteins were eluted by application of a 60 ml gradient of 1 to 3 M guanidine hydrochloride in 50 mM TrisHCl, 1 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.05% "SARKOSYL". The fractions containing receptor proteins were pooled and dialyzed against two changes of 3 liters of 50 mM TrisHCl, pH 7.5 buffer and one change of phosphate buffered saline (50 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) and concentrated by ultrafiltration.
The purified Lbp1 protein was digested overnight with cyanogen bromide, then fragments separated by SDS PAGE and submitted to sequence analysis. A 13 kDa protein fragment was found to have the N-terminal sequence MVQYTRKGENKAH (SEQ ID No: 67). A degenerate oligonucleotide primer (4393.RD) was prepared based upon this sequence:
Q Y T R K G E (SEQ ID No: 28) - 5' 3' - CAA TAT ACI CGT AAA GGT GAA AAT AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 29) - CAA TAT ACI CGT AAA GGC GAA AAC AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 30) - CAA TAT ACI CGT AAA GGT GAA AAC AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 31) - CAA TAT ACI CGT AAA GGC GAA AAT AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 32) - CAA TAT ACI CGC AAA GGC GAA AAC AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 33) - CAA TAT ACI CGC AAA GGC GAA AAT AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 34) - CAA TAT ACI CGC AAA GGT GAA AAT AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 35) - CAA TAT ACI CGC AAA GGT GAA AAC AAA GC (SEQ ID No: 36) There is a conserved C-terminal pentapeptide found in all known Lbp1 and Tbpl protein sequences: LEMKF (SEQ ID No. 26). An oligonucleotide primer (4572.RD) was prepared based upon the complementary DNA sequence encoding this pentapeptide: L E M K F * - 5' CTT GAA ATG AAG TTT TAA 3' (SEQ ID NO: 37) - 3' GAA CTT TAC TTC AAA ATT 5' 4572.RD (SEQ ID No: 38)
Example 2
This Example illustrates the preparation of chromosomal DNA from M. catarrhalis strains 4223 and Q8.
M. catarrhalis isolate 4223 was inoculated into 100 ml of BHI broth, and incubated for 18 hr at 37.degree. C. with shaking. The cells were harvested by centrifugation at 10,000.times.g for 20 min. The pellet was used for extraction of M. catarrhalis 4223 chromosomal DNA.
The cell pellet was resuspended in 20 ml of 10 MM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)-1.0 mM EDTA (TE). Pronase and SDS were added to final concentrations of 500 .mu.g/ml and 1.0%, respectively, and the suspension was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 2 hr. After several sequential extractions with phenol, phenol:chloroform (1:1), and chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (24:1), the aqueous extract was dialysed, at 4.degree. C., against 1.0 M NaCl for 4 hr. and against TE (pH 7.5) for a further 48 hr with three buffer changes. Two volumes of ethanol were added to the dialysate, and the DNA was spooled onto a glass rod. The DNA was allowed to air-dry, and was dissolved in 3.0 ml of water. Concentration was estimated, by UV spectrophotometry, to be about 290 .mu.g/ml.
M. catarrhalis strain Q8 was grown in BHI broth. Cells were pelleted from 50 ml of culture by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes, at 4.degree. C. The cell pellet was resuspended in 10 ml of TE (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5) and proteinase K and SDS were added to final concentrations of 500 .mu.g/ml and 1%, respectively. The sample was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 4 hours until a clear lysate was obtained. The lysate was extracted twice with Tris-saturated phenol/chloroform (1:1), and twice with chloroform. The final aqueous phase was dialysed for 24 hours against 2.times.1000 ml of 1 M NaCl at 4.degree. C., changing the buffer once, and for 24 hours against 2.times.1000 ml of TE at 4.degree., changing the buffer once. The final dialysate was precipitated with two volume of 100% ethanol. The DNA was spooled, dried and resuspended in 5 to 10 ml of TE buffer.
Example 3
This Example illustrates the PCR amplification of a fragment of M. catarrhalis lbpA and the generation of probes for screening libraries.
PCR amplification was performed on chromosomal DNA isolated in Example 2 using primers 4393.RD and 4572.RD under the following cycling conditions: 25 cycles of 94.degree. C. for 1 min, 47.degree. C. for 30 sec and 72.degree. C. for 1 min. PCR4 is the amplification of the 4223 lbpA fragment and PCR5 is the amplification of the Q8 lbpA fragment. A specific band of about 2.2 kb was amplified and partial sequence analysis was performed to ensure that the gene product was related to lbpA and was not tbpA. The derived amino acid sequences are shown in FIG. 1 and have been aligned with the complete 4223 Lbp1 sequence to show their placement and the 4223 Tbpl sequence (U.S. application Ser. No. 08/613,009) to indicate their uniqueness.
The full-length 2.2 kb gene fragment was randomly labeled with .sub.32 P and used to probe genomic libraries.
Example 4
This Example illustrates the generation and screening of the EMBL 3 libraries.
Chromosomal DNA was prepared as described in Example 2.
A series of Sau3AI restriction digests of chromosomal DNA, in final volumes of 10 .mu.L each, were carried out in order to optimize the conditions necessary to generate maximal amounts of restriction fragments within a 15 to 23 kb size range. Using the optimized digestion conditions, a large-scale digestion was set up in a 100 .mu.L volume, containing the following: 50 .mu.L of chromosomal DNA (290 .mu.g/ml), 33 .mu.L water, 10 .mu.L 10X Sau3A buffer (New England Biolabs), 1.0 .mu.L BSA (10 mg/ml, New England Biolabs), and 6.3 .mu.L Sau3A (0.04 U/.mu.L). Following a 15 min. incubation at 37.degree. C., the digestion was terminated by the addition of 10 .mu.L of 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)-10 mM EDTA-0.1% bromophenol blue-50% glycerol (loading buffer). Digested DNA was electrophoresed through a 0.5% agarose gel in 40 mM Tris acetate-2 mM Na.sub.2 EDTA.2H.sub.2 O (pH 8.5)(TAE buffer) at 50 V for 6 hr. The region containing restriction fragments within a 15 to 23 kb molecular size range was excised from the gel, and placed into dialysis tubing containing 3.0 ml of TAE buffer. DNA was electroeluted from the gel fragment by applying a field strength of 1.0 V/cm for 18 hr. Electroeluted DNA was extracted once each with phenol and phenol:chloroform (1:1), and precipitated with ethanol. The dried DNA was dissolved in 5.0 .mu.L water.
Size-fractionated chromosomal DNA was ligated with BamHI-digested EMBL3 arms (Promega), using T4 DNA ligase in a final volume of 9 .mu.L. The entire ligation mixture was packaged into lambda phage using a commercial packaging kit (Amersham), following manufacturer's instructions.
The packaged DNA library was amplified on solid media. 0.1 ml aliquots of Escherichia coli strain NM539 in 10 mM MgSO.sub.4 (OD.sub.260 =0.5) were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 15 min. with 15 to 25 .mu.L of the packaged DNA library. Samples were mixed with 3 ml of 0.6% agarose containing 1.0% BBL trypticase peptone-0.5% NaCl (BBL top agarose), and mixtures were plated onto 1.5% agar plates containing 1.0% BBL trypticase peptone-0.5% NaCl, and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 18 hr. 3 ml quantities of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)-8 mM magnesium sulfate heptahydrate-100 mM NaCl-0.01% (w/v) gelatin (SM buffer) were added to each plate, and plates were left at 4.degree. C. for 7 hr. SM buffer containing phage was collected from the plates, pooled together, and stored in a screwcap tube at 4.degree. C., with chloroform.
Ten .mu.L aliquots of phage stock were combined each with 100 .mu.L of E. coli strain LE392 in 10 mM MgSO4 (OD.sub.260 =0.5) (plating cells), and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 15 min. The samples were mixed with 3 ml each of BBL top agarose, and the mixtures were poured onto 1.5% agarose plates containing 1% bacto tryptone-0.5% bacto yeast extract-0.05% NaCl (LB agarose; Difco) and supplemented with 200 .mu.M EDDA. The plates were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 18 hr. Plaques were lifted onto nitrocellulose filters (Amersham Hybond-C Extra) which were hybridized with the 32P-labelled 2.2 kb PCR fragment. Several putative phage clones were obtained from each library and clones 4223LfR.17 and Q8LfR.13 were chosen for further analysis.
Example 5
This Example illustrates the subcloning of the phage clones containing M. catarrhalis lfr genes.
Restriction enzyme analysis and Southern blotting using the screening probes, indicated that at least a portion of lbpA was localized to an about 9 kb Hind III fragment from each phage clone. The about 9 kb Hind III fragment from 4223LfR.17 was subcloned into pUC 18, generating clone pLD1-8. The about 9 kb Hind III fragment from Q8LfR.13 was subcloned into pBluescript, generating plasmid pLDW1. Internal about 5.5 kb EcoR V fragments were subcloned generating plasmids pLD3 and pLDW3 for the 4223 and Q8 genes, respectively.
Example 6
This Example illustrates the sequence analysis of clones containing the M. catarrhalis lfr genes from strains 4223 and Q8.
Sequence analysis of the 5.5 kb EcoR V fragments from pLD3 and pLDW3, revealed that they each contained the 3'-end of lbpB, the complete lbpA gene, and a third complete gene designated orf3. The remainder of the lbpB genes was found on the about 9 kb Hind III fragments from pLD1-8 and pLDW1. Partial restriction enzyme analysis of the 4223 lbpA, lbpb, and orf3 genes, based upon the nucleotide sequences is shown in FIG. 3. Partial restriction enzyme analysis of the Q8 lbpA, lbpB, and orf3 genes, based upon the nucleotide sequences is shown in FIG. 5. The complete sequences of the lbpb, lbpA, and orf3 genes comprising the putative lfr locus from M. catarrhalis 4223 and Q8 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, respectively. The intergenic distance between the lbpB and lbpA genes is 184 nucleotides, while a single nucleotide separates the lbpA and orf3 genes. A putative promoter and ribosome binding site is indicated by underlining upstream of both lbpB and lbpA. A fourth potential gene was cloned on the approximately 9 kb Hind III fragments.
The N-terminal sequence of the native Lbp1 protein is unknown. Examination of the deduced amino acid sequence of the lbpA gene indicates that there are two possible ATG start codons at positions 1 and 16. The first position is downstream of strong promoter elements found in the lbpB-lbpA intergenic region and the second position is followed by a putative signal sequence. The M. catarrhalis 4223 and Q8 Lbp1 proteins (from the first ATG) have molecular mass values of about 110 kDa and are 99% identical. The deduced Lbp1 protein sequences from M. catarrhalis strains 4223 and Q8 are compared in FIG. 6. They are also compared with the iroA/lbpA gene from N. meningitidis strain BNCV (ref. 24) and the lbpA gene from N. gonorrhoeae strain FA19 (ref. 25). The M. catarrhalis proteins are found to be about 32% identical and about 50% similar to the Neisseria proteins. As shown in FIG. 1, there is very limited sequence homology between the M. catarrhalis Tbp1 and Lbp1 sequences.
The deduced Lbp2 protein sequences from M. catarrhalis strains 4223 and Q8 are compared in FIG. 7. The 4223 and Q8 Lbp2 proteins both have molecular masses of about 99 kDa and are 92% identical and 95% similar to each other. A comparison to the M. catarrhalis Tbp2 proteins shows very little homology except the LEGGFY (SEQ ID No: 27) epitope previously identified in H. influenzae and N. meningitidis Tbp2 proteins (FIG. 8). A cysteine residue at position 32 is preceded by a consensus sequence for lipoproteins suggesting that Lbp2, like Tbp2, is a lipoprotein. An unusual feature of the Lbp2 proteins is the high combined aspartic acid and asparagine content which is nearly 20%. In addition, the 4223 Lbp2 amino acid composition from residues 698 to 751 is about 52% aspartic acid.
The 4223 and Q8 lfr orf3 genes would encode proteins (Lbp3) of molecular mass about 60 kDa, respectively. A notable feature of the Lbp3 protein is a potential signal sequence, a terminal phenylalanine which is often associated with membrane anchored proteins, an internal repeat sequence of DGLG (SEQ ID No: 39), and a high leucine content of 15%. The deduced Lbp3 protein sequences are compared in FIG. 9. These proteins are 98% identical and 99% similar.
Example 7
This Example illustrates the construction of vectors to express M. catarrhalis Lbp1 from the first methionine in E. coli.
There are two possible start codons at the beginning of the lbpA gene and hence two expression constructs were made. The construction scheme for 4223 or Q8 lbpA expressed from the first methionine is shown in FIG. 10. An approximately 200 bp fragment of the 5'-end of lbpA from the ATG to a BstE II site was PCR amplified using primers 5405.RD and 5407.RD. An Nde I site was engineered at the 5'-end to facilitate cloning into the pT7-7 vector.
NdeI - M S K S I T (SEQ ID No: 40) - 5' GGAATTCCAT ATG TCA AAA TCT ATC ACA AA 3' 5405.RD (SEQ ID No: 41) - BstE II - L D A I T V T A A (SEQ ID No: 42) - 5' T TTA GAT GCC ATC ACG GTA ACC GCC GCC CC 3' (SEQ ID No: 43) - 3' A AAT CTA CGG TAG TGC CAT TGG CGG CGG GG 5' 5407.RD (SEQ ID No: 44)
In order to subclone the lbpA gene into pT7-7, a approximately 515 bp fragment of the 3'-end of the gene from an Sph I site to the stop codon was PCR amplified using primers 5281.RD and 5282.RD and a BamH1 site was engineered at 3'-end.
Sph I - G K L D L H A M T S (SEQ ID No: 45) - 5' GGC AAA CTG GAT TTG CAT GCC ATG ACA TCA 3' 5281.RD (SEQ ID No: 46) - S L E M K F * (SEQ ID No: 47) - 5' AGT CTT GAA ATG AAG TTT AAA 3' (SEQ ID No: 48) - 3' TCA GAA CTT TAC TTC AAA AAT GCC CTA GGG C 5' 5282.RD (SEQ ID No: 49) BamH I
For the Q8 subclone, plasmid pLDW3, prepared as described in Example 5, was digested with BstE II and Sph I generating a 2.3 kb fragment of lbpA which was ligated with the Nde I-BstE II and SphI-BamH I FCR fragments and cloned into pT7-7 digested with NdeI and BamH I. The resulting plasmid pQWlA thus contains the full-length Q8 lbpA gene from the first methionine, under the control of the T7 promoter. DNA from pQW1A was purified and transformed by electroporation into electrocompetent BL21(DE3) cells to generate strain QW1A which was grown and induced using IPTG. Expressed proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and the induced Lbp1 protein was visualized by Coomassie blue staining (FIG. 11).
For the 4223 subclone, plasmid pLD3, prepared as described in Example 5 was digested with BstEII and SphI, generating a 2.3 kb fragment of lbpA, which was ligated with the Nde I-BstE II and SphI-BamH I PCR fragments and cloned into pT7-7 digested with NdeI and BamH I. The resulting plasmid pRD1A thus contains the full-length 4223 lbpA gene from the first possible methionine under the control of the T7 promoter. DNA from pRD1A was purified and transformed by electroporation into electrocompetent BL21(DE3) cells to generate strain RDlA which was grown and induced using IPTG. Expressed proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and the induced Lbp1 protein was visualized by Coomassie blue staining (FIG. 11).
The Q8 Lbp1 protein was expressed at very high levels but the 4223 Lbp1 protein was expressed at substantially lower levels.
Example 8
This Example illustrates the extraction and purification of rLbp1 from E. coli. The procedure is illustrated generally in FIG. 14.
E. coli cells from a 500 ml culture, prepared as described in Example 7, were resuspended in 40 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0 containing 5 mM AEBSF (protease inhibitor) and 0.1 M NaCl, and disrupted by sonication (3.times.10 min, 70% duty circle). The extract was centrifuged at 20,000.times.g for 30 min and the resultant supernatant, which contained greater than 95% of the soluble proteins from E. coli, was discarded. The remaining pellet (FIG. 14, PPT1) was further extracted in 40 ml of 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0 containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and 10 mM EDTA. The mixture was stirred at 4.degree. C. for at least 1 hour and then centrifuged at 20,000.times.g for 30 min and the supernatant containing residual soluble proteins and the majority of the membrane proteins was discarded. The resultant pellet (FIG. 14, PPT2) was further extracted in 40 ml of 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0 containing 1% octylglucoside. The mixture was stirred at 4.degree. C. for at least 1 hour and then centrifuged at 20,000.times.g for 30 min. The supernatant containing residual contaminating proteins was discarded. The resultant pellet (FIG. 14, PPT3) obtained after the above extractions contained the Lbp1 protein as inclusion bodies.
The rLbp1 protein was solubilized from the inclusion bodies in 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, containing 6 M guanidine and 5 mM DTT. After centrifugation, the resultant supernatant was further purified on a Superdex 200 gel filtration column equilibrated in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, containing 2 M guanidine and 5 mM DTT. The fractions were analysed by SDS-PAGE and those containing purified rLbp1 were pooled. Triton X-100 was added to the pooled rLbp1 fraction to a final concentration of 0.1%. The fraction was dialysed overnight at 4.degree. C. against PBS, and then centrifuged at 20,000.times.g for 30 min. The purified rLbp1 was stored at -20.degree. C. Samples from the purification were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (FIG. 15).
Example 9
This Example illustrates the construction of vectors to express M. catarrhalis Lbp1 from the second methionine in E. coli.
The construction scheme for 4223 or Q8 lbpA expressed from the second methionine is shown in FIG. 10. An approximately 200 bp fragment of the 5'-end of lbpA from the ATG to a BstE II site was PCR amplified using primers 5406.RD and 5407.RD. An Nde I site was engineered at the 5'-end to facilitate cloning into the pT7-7 vector.
NdeI - M T T H R L (SEQ ID No: 50) - 5' GGAATTCCAT ATG ACC ACG CAC CGC TTA AA 3' 5406.RD (SEQ ID No: 51) - BstE II - L D A I T V T A A - 5' T TTA GAT GCC ATC ACG GTA ACC GCC GCC CC 3' - 3' A AAT CTA CGG TAG TGC CAT TGG CGG CGG GG 5' 5407.RD
The 3'-end of the lbpA gene was PCR amplified from the SphI restriction site to the stop codon using primers 5281.RD and 5282.RD as described in Example 8.
The 2.3 kb BstE II-Sph I fragments described in Example 8 were ligated to the Nde I-BstE II and Sph I-BamH I PCR fragments and cloned into pT7-7 that had been digested with NdeI and BamH I. Plasmid pQW1B thus contains a full-length Q8 lbpA gene from the second methionine and plasmid pRDlB contains a full-length 4223 lbpA gene from the second methionine under the direction of the T7 promoter. DNA was purified and transformed by electroporation into electrocompetent BL21(DE3) cells to generate recombinant strains which were grown and induced using IPTG. Expressed proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and the induced Lbp1 proteins were visible by Coomassie blue staining (FIG. 11).
As seen for the longer protein in Example 8, the shorter Lbp1 from Q8 was expressed to much higher levels than the corresponding 4223 protein.
Example 10
This Example illustrates the construction of vectors to express M. catarrhalis Lbp2 with a leader sequence from E. coli.
The construction scheme is illustrated in FIG. 12. There are two BspH I sites within the lbpB genes of strains 4223 and Q8. The 5'-end of the lbpB gene was PCR amplified from the ATG start codon through the first BspH I site generating an approximately 201 bp fragment. An NdeI site was engineered at the ATG to facilitate cloning into the pT7-7 expression vector. The oligonucleotides used for amplification are illustrated below:
NdeI - M S T V K T P H I (SEQ ID No: 52) - 5' GGAATTCCAT ATG AGT ACT GTC AAA ACC CCC CAC A 3' 5533.RD (SEQ ID No: 53) - BspH I - I P N T G H D N T N (SEQ ID No: 54) - 5' A ATA CCG AAC ACA GGT CAT GA AAC ACC AAT 3' (SEQ ID No: 55) - T TAT GGC TTG TGT CCA GTA CTG TTG TGG TTA 5' 5534.RD (SEQ ID No: 56)
The 3'-end of the lbpB gene was PCR amplified from the second BspH I site to the TAA stop codon generating a 381 bp fragment. A BamH I site was introduced after the stop codon for cloning purposes. The oligonucleotides used for amplification are illustrated below:
N E P T H E K T F (SEQ ID No: 57) - 5' AAT GAG CCT ACT CAT GAA AAA ACC TTT GCC 3' 5535.RD (SEQ ID No: 58) - G A V F G A V K D K * (SEQ ID No: 59) - 5' GG GCT GTC TTT GGG GCT GTT AAA GAT AAA TAA 3' (SEQ ID No: 60) - CC CGA CAG AAA CCC CGA CAA TTT CTA TTT ATT CCTAGGGC 5' 5536.RD (SEQ ID No: 61) BamH I
Plasmids pLD1-8 or pLDW1, prepared as described in Example 4, were digested with BspH I to release a 2.1 kb internal fragment of the lbpB gene which was ligated with the 5'- and 3'-PCR fragments and cloned into pT7-7 that had been digested with NdeI and BamH I. The resulting plasmids, pLD2A and pLDW2A, contain the full-length 4223 and Q8 lbpB genes under the control of the T7 promoter, respectively.
Example 11
This Example illustrates the construction of vectors to express the mature M. catarrhalis Lbp2 proteins from E. coli.
The construction scheme is illustrated in FIG. 12. The putative mature Lbp2 lipoproteins start at the Cys.sup.32 residue. A scheme similar to that described in Example 10 can be used to generate expression clones. To amplify the 5'-end of the lbpB gene, a sense PCR primer is designed that includes an NdeI site for subsequent cloning and an ATG start codon for initiation of translation followed immediately by the Cys.sup.32 residue. The antisense primer is the same as that described in Example 9 (5534.RD) and includes the BspH I cloning site. The amplified fragment is .about.112 bp long. The oligonucleotides are illustrated below:
NdeI - M C R S D D I S V N (SEQ ID No: 62) - 5' GGAATTCCAT ATG TGC CGC TCT GAT GAC ATC AGC GTC AAT 3' .RD (SEQ ID No: 63) - BspH I - I P N T G H D N T N (SEQ ID No: 54) - 5' A ATA CCG AAC ACA GGT CAT GAC AAC ACC AAT 3' (SEQ ID No: 55) - T TAT GGC TTG TGT CCA GTA CTG TTG TGG TTA 5' 5534.RD (SEQ ID No: 56)
The BspH I-BamH I 3'-end of the lbpB gene is PCR amplified as in Example 9 and the plasmid expressing mature Lbp2 is constructed by ligating the 5'- and 3'-PCR fragments with the 2.1 kb BspH I fragment and vector pT7-7 digested with NdeI and BamH I. The resulting plasmids, pLD2B and pLDW2B, contain the lbpB gene encoding the mature Lbp2 proteins from strains 4223 and Q8 under the direction of the T7 promoter, respectively.
Example 12
This Example illustrates the construction of a vector to express the M. catarrhalis lfr Lbp3 from E. coli.
The construction scheme is illustrated in FIG. 13. Oligonucleotides were used to generate the 5'-end of the orf3 gene from the ATG start codon to an AlwN I site. An NdeI site was engineered at the 5'-end for subsequent cloning into pT7-7. The oligonucleotides are shown below:
NdeI - M T C L P K T N P A L K V K H R (SEQ ID No: 64) - 5' T ATG ACC TGT TTA CCA AAG ACC AAC CCT GCT TTA AAA GTC AAG CAC AGA (SEQ ID No: 65) - 3' AC TGG ACA AAT GGT TTC TGG TTG GGA CGA AAT TTT CAG TTC GTG TCT (SEQ ID No: 66) - AlwN I - F L K Q V - TTT TTA AAG CAG GTG 3' 5532.RD - AAA AAT TTC GTC 5' 5457.RD
The pLD1-8 or pLDW1 plasmid, prepared as described in Example 5, was digested with BstE II generating a 4.6 kb fragment which was filled in with Klenow polymerase before being digested with AlwNI. The resultant 1.8 kb fragment was ligated with the annealed NdeI-AlwN I oligonucleotides and cloned into pT7-7 that had been digested with NdeI and SmaI. The resulting plasmids, pLRD3 and pLQW3, contain the full-length orf3 genes from strains 4223 and Q8 under the direction of the T7 promoter, respectively.
