| 要約(英語) | In spite of many advantages, artificial genes for cytokines have seldom been prepared due to the difficulty of constructing long genes from short DNA oligomers. To improve the method for the construction of a cytokine gene, a new way to construct a long gene easily and rapidly was developed. Using a plus gene and a minus gene both as template and primer that have 20~40 bases of cohesive ends, a double stranded DNA is synthesized by the reaction of polymerase. We named that as the SPR method. First, the gene sequences of equine interferon alpha-1 and gamma were designed with consideration of the creation of a restriction site and the adaptation to yeast codon usage. Then, 8~11 of the DNA short oligomers (each is 80 mer~93 mer) containing plus genes and minus genes, were synthesized by a DNA synthesizer. Each set of plus and minus genes was mixed and reacted with rTaq DNA polymerase. Then, similar reactions were repeated with the sets of these products. The final product was about 600 bp in length, which indicated that the full-length gene should be prepared. As the result of DNA sequencing, it was shown that this artificial gene had a complete sequence of equine interferon alpha-1 and gamma. Within only a week, about 600 bp of the artificial genes were easily, rapidly and completely constructed. More than 1,000 bp of gene or genome can be prepared using the SPR method.

| 背景・ねらい | 人工遺伝子は野生型遺伝子に比べて,発現した時の組換え型蛋白質の生産量が多く,制限酵素切断部位を自由に設定できるなど,数々の利点を有している。また人工遺伝子は,ハイブリッド蛋白質など自然界に存在しない未知の有用物質を作製するための唯一の方法でもある。しかし作業工程が煩雑で難しく,完成までに長期間を要することから,未だ作製されている例は多くない。そこで本研究では,2本のDNAが互いを鋳型として複製して,完全な2本鎖DNAになる現象に着目し,これを利用してサイトカイン遺伝子を人工合成することを試みた。 |
