Description

本発明は、電気泳動に供する検体の前処理方法、および前処理用試薬組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a pretreatment method for a specimen to be subjected to electrophoresis, and a pretreatment reagent composition.

電気泳動、とりわけドデシル硫酸ナトリウム−ポリアクリルアミドゲル電気泳動(SDS−PAGE)によるタンパク質の検出は、一般的、標準的なタンパク質の分析方法として広く用いられている。ポリアクリルアミドゲル電気泳動は、アクリルアミドを重合させたゲル中で荷電粒子に電圧を付加し、その移動度によってそれぞれの粒子を分離できることを利用している。ポリアクリルアミドゲルは分子篩として働き、ゲル中では小さい粒子ほど動きやすく大きな粒子ほど動きにくい。また、ゲルの濃度を変えることで、移動度を調整できる。しかし、タンパク質はそのアミノ酸配列により、それぞれ独特な立体構造を持ち、同じ分子量でもその移動度が異なる。またそのタンパク質を構成するアミノ酸残基の電気特性(等電点)もそれぞれ異なり、同じ電圧でもかかる力が異なりそれが移動度にも反映する。この問題を避けるために、SDS−PAGEは負電荷界面活性剤であるドデシル硫酸ナトリウム(SDS)で検体を変性させてから行なう。SDSは水溶液中では非極性基を内側にしてミセルを作る。この非極性基がタンパク質のアミノ酸残基間の疎水結合を壊すので、タンパク質はほぼ直鎖状に引き伸ばされ、また、イオン性残基の電荷はミセル表面の負電荷にマスクされ単位長さ当たりほぼ一定の電荷となる。これにより、タンパク質はその個々の性質を失いその分子量のみによって分離されるようになる。   Protein detection by electrophoresis, especially sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), is widely used as a general and standard protein analysis method. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis utilizes the fact that a voltage is applied to charged particles in a gel polymerized with acrylamide, and each particle can be separated by its mobility. The polyacrylamide gel acts as a molecular sieve, and the smaller particles are easier to move and the larger particles are less likely to move in the gel. Moreover, mobility can be adjusted by changing the density | concentration of a gel. However, proteins have unique three-dimensional structures depending on their amino acid sequences, and their mobility differs even with the same molecular weight. In addition, the electrical properties (isoelectric points) of the amino acid residues constituting the protein are also different, and the applied force is different even at the same voltage, which is reflected in the mobility. In order to avoid this problem, SDS-PAGE is performed after denaturing the specimen with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), which is a negatively charged surfactant. SDS forms micelles with nonpolar groups on the inside in aqueous solutions. Since this nonpolar group breaks the hydrophobic bond between the amino acid residues of the protein, the protein is stretched almost linearly, and the charge of the ionic residue is masked by the negative charge on the micelle surface and is almost per unit length. It becomes a constant charge. This causes the protein to lose its individual properties and be separated only by its molecular weight.

近年、より多くの種類のタンパク質を含む検体より個々のタンパク質を分離する方法として、二次元電気泳動が普及した。二次元電気泳動とは、異なる条件での電気的分離法の2種類を組合せて分離する方法で、一次元目に等電点電気泳動を、二次元目にSDS−PAGEを用いる方法が一般的である。この場合、等電点で分別したタンパク質をさらに分子量の違いにより分別するため、個々のタンパク質がスポットとして分離される。   In recent years, two-dimensional electrophoresis has become widespread as a method for separating individual proteins from specimens containing more types of proteins. Two-dimensional electrophoresis is a method of separation by combining two types of electroseparation methods under different conditions, and generally uses isoelectric focusing in the first dimension and SDS-PAGE in the second dimension. It is. In this case, the proteins separated at the isoelectric point are further separated according to the difference in molecular weight, so that the individual proteins are separated as spots.

検体がタンパク質成分のみである場合や、タンパク質以外の成分が極めて少ない検体であれば、一般に電気泳動は問題無く行なえる。しかしながら、タンパク質以外の成分を多く含む検体を電気泳動すると、タンパク質の分離が十分でない場合が多い。特に、微生物や動植物の細胞や組織を破砕して得られた検体の場合、タンパク質以外に核酸や脂質、低分子化合物などの多様な成分を含むため、明瞭なタンパク質の分離を成功させることは困難である。また、検体中の膜タンパク質を電気泳動するには、タンパク質を膜から抽出せねばならない。したがって、このような検体の電気泳動に際しては、予め何らかの処理を行なうことが必要となる。   If the sample is only a protein component or if the sample contains very few components other than proteins, electrophoresis can generally be performed without problems. However, when a sample containing many components other than protein is electrophoresed, protein separation is often insufficient. In particular, in the case of specimens obtained by disrupting cells and tissues of microorganisms and animals and plants, it is difficult to succeed in clearly separating proteins because they contain various components such as nucleic acids, lipids, and low molecular compounds in addition to proteins. It is. In addition, in order to electrophoretize a membrane protein in a specimen, the protein must be extracted from the membrane. Therefore, it is necessary to perform some kind of processing in advance for electrophoresis of such a specimen.

検体の前処理方法としては、タンパク質成分の検体からの抽出、精製が一般的に行なわれる。例えば、カラムクロマトグラフィーによるタンパク質の吸着と溶出、ゲル濾過による分画、フィルターや膜による分離などは、古くから行なわれている手法で、現在も電気泳動の前処理として常用されている。しかし、これらの方法は時間と手間がかかり、器具や装置、消耗品を使用するためコスト面での負担も大きい。また、検体を界面活性剤で処理する簡便な方法も採用されているが、タンパク質成分を可溶化させる点では有効であるものの、夾雑成分の影響を回避することは難しく、電気泳動によるタンパク質の分離が十分でない場合が多い。また、近年広く行われている、細胞や組織中で発現している全てのタンパク質を網羅的に分析するプロテオーム解析では、検体の前処理によって分析結果が変化することは望ましくないので、精製などによらず夾雑成分による影響の回避することが重要である。しかし、従来は、このような目的に使用される検体を用いて十分な分離を達成することができない場合に分離を改善する有効な手段は知られていなかった。   As a sample pretreatment method, extraction and purification of a protein component from a sample are generally performed. For example, protein adsorption and elution by column chromatography, fractionation by gel filtration, separation by filters and membranes, etc. are methods that have been practiced for a long time, and are still commonly used as pretreatments for electrophoresis. However, these methods are time consuming and labor intensive, and are expensive in terms of cost because they use instruments, devices, and consumables. In addition, a simple method of treating a sample with a surfactant is also adopted, but it is effective in solubilizing protein components, but it is difficult to avoid the influence of contaminating components, and protein separation by electrophoresis is difficult. Is often not enough. In proteome analysis, which is widely performed in recent years and comprehensively analyzes all proteins expressed in cells and tissues, it is not desirable that the analysis results change due to sample pretreatment. Regardless, it is important to avoid the effects of contaminating components. However, conventionally, there has been no known effective means for improving separation when sufficient separation cannot be achieved using a sample used for such a purpose.

したがって、タンパク質以外の成分を多く含む検体の電気泳動における、簡便で低コスト、かつ効果が十分な検体の前処理方法、そのための試薬が望まれていた。   Therefore, there has been a demand for a simple, low-cost, and sufficiently effective sample pretreatment method and reagent therefor in electrophoresis of a sample containing many components other than proteins.

本発明は、タンパク質の電気泳動に供する検体の前処理において、従来は困難であった簡便で低コスト、かつ効果が十分な方法および試薬組成物を提供することを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a simple method, low cost, and sufficient effect and reagent composition that have been difficult in the pretreatment of specimens for protein electrophoresis.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために種々の検討を行なった。より具体的には、検体を前処理用の溶液にて処理し電気泳動に供する簡便で低コストな方法を想定し、前処理溶液の組成を種々検討することにより、電気泳動でのタンパク質の分離に対し劇的な効果のある溶液組成を見出すことに成功し、本発明を完成するに至った。   The present inventors have made various studies in order to solve the above problems. More specifically, assuming a simple and low-cost method in which a specimen is treated with a pretreatment solution and subjected to electrophoresis, protein separation by electrophoresis is studied by variously examining the composition of the pretreatment solution. As a result, the present inventors have succeeded in finding a solution composition having a dramatic effect, and thus completed the present invention.

本発明において、エステラーゼ活性を有するタンパク質としては、産業用酵素として一般に利用されている微生物や動物由来のトリグリセリド反応性リパーゼを使用することが、コスト低減のために好ましい。このような酵素として、例えばシュードモナス(Pseudomonas)属細菌由来リパーゼ、カンジダ(Candida属)酵母由来リパーゼ、またはリゾプス(Rizopus属)カビ由来リパーゼおよびこれらの混合物を用いることが好適である。本発明の実施例には、シュードモナス・アエルギノサ(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)由来リポプロテインリパーゼを使用した。この酵素は、コレステロールやその他のステロール、各種ラクトン類などに対するエステラーゼ活性を有している。本酵素は、既に臨床検査薬用酵素として産業利用されている。例えば、東洋紡績株式会社から市販されているリポプロテインリパーゼとしてである。尚、本酵素活性は1分間に1マイクロモルのGlycerol(1/2マイクロモルのQuinoneimine色素)を生成する酵素量を1単位(U)として表される(東洋紡績株式会社ウェブサイト参照、http://www.toyobo.co.jp/e/seihin/xr/enzyme/pdf/205LPL-311.pdf)。   In the present invention, as a protein having esterase activity, it is preferable to use a triglyceride-reactive lipase derived from microorganisms or animals generally used as industrial enzymes for cost reduction. As such an enzyme, it is preferable to use, for example, a lipase derived from bacteria belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, a lipase derived from Candida yeast, a lipase derived from Rhizopus fungus, and a mixture thereof. In the examples of the present invention, Pseudomonas aeruginosa-derived lipoprotein lipase was used. This enzyme has esterase activity for cholesterol, other sterols, various lactones and the like.

Accordingly, the target specimens include specimens containing many components other than proteins that adversely affect separation during electrophoresis, such as specimens containing various components such as nucleic acids, lipids, and low molecular compounds in addition to proteins. It is done. Specific examples include specimens obtained by disrupting cells or tissues of microorganisms or animals and plants, membrane fractions of cells, and the like. For example, in the proteome analysis that comprehensively analyzes all proteins expressed in cells and tissues as described above, it is not desirable that the analysis results change due to sample pretreatment. The pretreatment method and the pretreatment reagent composition of the present invention that can avoid the influence of contaminating components are useful for pretreatment of a specimen to be subjected to proteome analysis.

本発明を活用して電気泳動し得るタンパク質(目的タンパク質)としては、特に限定されない。細胞質や各種オルガネラの可溶性タンパク質、細胞外分泌タンパク質、膜タンパク質、不溶性タンパク質や凝集体、および糖やリン酸などで修飾を受けたタンパク質などが対象として挙げられる。なお、ここで取り上げられるタンパク質は低分子ペプチドも含む広義のものである。   The protein (target protein) that can be electrophoresed using the present invention is not particularly limited.

検体として細胞や組織を用い、細胞内タンパク質や膜タンパク質を分析する場合、予め検体を破砕する必要がある。破砕方法としては、ソニック破砕、ビーズ破砕やフレンチプレス破砕などの物理的な破砕方法、酵素による細胞壁溶解と浸透圧による破砕など、通常の方法を利用することができる。また、タンパク質の分解や構造変化を防ぐために、細胞や組織をプロテアーゼ阻害剤や有機溶媒などを含む溶解バッファーに懸濁することや、更に物理的破砕を加えるなどの方法も有効である。   When using a cell or tissue as a specimen and analyzing intracellular protein or membrane protein, it is necessary to crush the specimen in advance. As the crushing method, a normal crushing method such as sonic crushing, bead crushing or French press crushing, cell wall lysis by an enzyme and crushing by osmotic pressure can be used. In order to prevent protein degradation and structural changes, it is also effective to suspend cells or tissues in a lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor or an organic solvent, or to add physical disruption.

これらの方法で検体を処理した後、本発明の前処理試薬組成物と混合して反応を行なう。前処理試薬組成物と検体との混合比率は、検体の種類、濃度などにより異なるため一概に言えないが、前処理試薬組成物を検体に対し1/20〜2倍容量加えることが好ましく、一般的には1/5〜等量加えると好適である。   After the sample is treated by these methods, the reaction is performed by mixing with the pretreatment reagent composition of the present invention. The mixing ratio of the pretreatment reagent composition and the sample varies depending on the type and concentration of the sample and cannot be generally stated. However, it is preferable to add the pretreatment reagent composition to the sample in an amount of 1/20 to 2 times, Specifically, it is preferable to add 1/5 to an equal amount.

前処理の反応条件も、検体の種類、濃度などにより異なるため一概に言えないが、使用する酵素活性を有するタンパク質の作用に適切な条件が選択される。例えば、反応温度に関しては10℃以上の反応温度で10〜100分間反応させるのが好ましい。本発明の実施例では、室温(20〜30℃)にて30分間反応させている。さらに、適切な反応pHとなるように、反応液中にリン酸緩衝液などの緩衝液を含めることが好ましい。   The reaction conditions for pretreatment also vary depending on the type and concentration of the specimen and cannot be generally stated, but conditions appropriate for the action of the protein having the enzyme activity to be used are selected. For example, the reaction temperature is preferably 10 to 100 minutes at a reaction temperature of 10 ° C. or higher. In the Example of this invention, it is made to react for 30 minutes at room temperature (20-30 degreeC). Furthermore, it is preferable to include a buffer solution such as a phosphate buffer in the reaction solution so as to obtain an appropriate reaction pH.

本発明の検体の前処理方法および本発明の検体の前処理試薬組成物は任意の電気泳動に有効であり、例えば、ゲルを用いるタンパク質の分析のための電気泳動に適用することができる。特に、等電点電気泳動、SDS−PAGE、およびその組み合わせである二次元電気泳動に適用することが好ましい。例えば、二次元電気泳動の場合、前処理反応後、常法にしたがい検体をまず等電点電気泳動に供し、ついで二次元目のSDS−PAGEを行なうことにより、タンパク質が十分に分離し、明瞭な二次元電気泳動結果を得ることができる。   The sample pretreatment method of the present invention and the sample pretreatment reagent composition of the present invention are effective for arbitrary electrophoresis, and can be applied to electrophoresis for protein analysis using a gel, for example. In particular, it is preferable to apply to two-dimensional electrophoresis which is isoelectric focusing, SDS-PAGE, and a combination thereof. For example, in the case of two-dimensional electrophoresis, after the pretreatment reaction, the sample is first subjected to isoelectric focusing according to a conventional method, and then the second dimension SDS-PAGE is performed, so that the protein is sufficiently separated and clear. 2D electrophoresis results can be obtained.

以下、実施例及び比較例によって更に本発明を詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらによって何等限定されるものでない。尚、以下の実施例等に於いて、二次元電気泳動の一次元目の等電点電気泳動はpIが3.5〜7の範囲となるよう調製したゲルを使い、ディスク電気泳動装置(日本エイドー製)を用いて実施した。また二次元目のSDS−PAGEは、17%ゲルを使い、恒温式2連スラブ電気泳動装置(日本エイドー製)を用いて実施した。一次元目の等電点電気泳動のゲルと二次元目のSDS−PAGEのゲルとは、アガロースゲル(ナカライテスク製)を用いて接着した。二次元電気泳動試薬やその他の必要な試薬はナカライテスクより購入し、メーカーのプロトコールにしたがい実施した。   EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example and a comparative example demonstrate this invention further in detail, this invention is not limited at all by these.
