Specifically, the present invention describes a novel polypeptide-bromo group 12, and a polynucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide. The invention also relates to a preparation method and application of the polynucleotide and the polypeptide. Background technique
  • the bromodomain is a conserved region of about 70 amino acids. Some proteins contain a single bromo-based domain, while others contain multiple bromo-based domains.
  • the BRM gene is a gene obtained in Drosophila, which is similar to SNF2 / SW12. These proteins all play an important role in the transcriptional activity of homeoproteins.
  • the above three proteins all contain a structural motif consisting of 77 amino acid residues. This structural motif is also present in various regulatory proteins in yeast and humans, which constitute a new regulatory protein family [Tamkun JW, Deuring R. Et al., Cell, 1992, 68: 330-572] 0 This structural motif is involved in protein-protein interactions in vivo, which may be important for the activity and aggregation of multi-component complexes involved in transcriptional activity Regulatory effect. If the domain or the protein containing the domain is abnormally expressed, it will cause some DNA transcriptional activity regulatory proteins to function abnormally, thereby affecting the expression of various proteins from the transcription level. This causes diseases associated with abnormal protein expression in various tissues and organs.
  • the bromodomain consists of the following conserved sequences: [STANVF]-X (2) -FX (4)-[DNS] -X (5, 7)-[DENQTF]-Y— [HFY] — X (2) -[LIVMFY] -X (3)-[LIVM] -X (4)-[LIVM] -X (6, 8) -YX (12, 13) — [LIVM] — X (2) — ⁇ — [SACF ] — X (2) — [FY].
  • This domain is involved in the proper binding of DNA and transcriptional regulation in vivo.
  • Members of this family regulate the interactions between proteins in the body, especially during the growth and development of the organism. They usually regulate the transcriptional expression of various proteins through the transcriptional regulation of downstream regulatory genes. Abnormal expression may lead to abnormal protein function, resulting in abnormal development of various parts of the body, triggering various related developmental disorders, immune disorders, and even various tumors and cancers.
  • the bromodomain 12 protein plays an important role in regulating important functions of the body such as cell division and embryonic development, and it is believed that a large number of proteins are involved in these regulatory processes, so there has been a need in the art to identify more involved in these processes.

This protein may form the basis for the development of diagnostic and / or therapeutic drugs for diseases, so it is important to isolate its coding DNA. Disclosure of invention
