A liposome vesicle aggregation, membrane promotion fusion and spatial morphology construction method based on RA1 biochemical characteristics comprises the following steps:
a. the processing method of the light-reflecting protein system for regulating the behavior and the function of the liposome vesicle comprises the following steps: in a buffer solution, RA1 with a proper concentration and vesicles firstly form large-scale RA 1-liposome aggregates, and the scale reaches hundreds of nanometers to the micron scale; then, treating the protein and vesicle aggregates for 50 minutes by using proteinase K with the working concentration of 0.15mg/ml in a propane sulfonic acid system with the pH value of 7.55mM to promote the large-scale membrane fusion behavior of the 100nm vesicles, so as to form the large vesicle monomers with the micron-sized dimensions;
b. the structure of the space tubular shape of the giant vesicle monomer formed after the liposome coacervate membrane is fused: in a system of pH7.55mM propanesulfonic acid, 0.15mg/ml proteinase K is used for treating protein and vesicle aggregates for 30 minutes, a proteinase activity inhibitor PMSF with the final concentration of 1mM is added to block the degradation process of RA1, and RA1 and RA1 self-assemblies in a semi-degradation state restrict the space morphology of a large vesicle monomer with micron-scale dimension formed after membrane promotion fusion, so that the large vesicle monomer has special tubular stacking characteristics.
In the buffer solution of step a of the present invention, the buffer solution refers to pH4.5 acetic acid, pH6.55mM propanesulfonic acid, pH7.55mM propanesulfonic acid; the appropriate concentration is 0.625. mu.M at pH4.5, 4.5. mu.M at pH6.5, and 13.5. mu.M at pH 7.5.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. currently, academic reports of similar membrane functions are mainly focused on the pathological function research of natural proteins and protein families. For example, SV40 virus protein, BAR protein family, etc., wherein the mechanism of membrane upgoing of clathrin (clathrarin) is most clear: clathrin forms a hemispherical capsule pit on the membrane with the help of other chaperones (AP-2, etc.); subsequently, under the cohesion of actin, the capsular pit gradually invaginates; finally, the invaginated neck is severed and separated from the mother vesicle membrane with the aid of another population of sheared proteins. In the invention, RA1 can complete the capabilities of promoting membrane coagulation, promoting membrane fusion and maintaining the space tubular shape of the fused liposome without the assistance of other molecular chaperones and auxiliary proteins. It is sufficient to achieve the powerful function. In addition, the size of the RA1 protein self-assembly is controllable, i.e., the degree of polymerization of the protein molecule is controllable; meanwhile, the degradation treatment of proteinase K at a proper temperature is required in the process of promoting membrane fusion, and the formation of membrane fusion promoting and large vesicle monomers is controllable; finally, the special spatial morphology (tubular) of the fused large vesicle can be realized by adding PMSF, and the switching of the spatial morphology (spherical → tubular) is controllable.
2. By means of strong physiological and biochemical properties of RA1, the liposome based on the gliadin A1 has rich maneuverability and has potential of being applied to the fields of biological pharmacy, drug target positioning, tumor treatment technology and the like.

Detailed Description
The present invention is described in further detail below by way of examples, which should not be construed as limiting the invention thereto.
Example (b):
example I: RA1+100nm liposome vesicle
FIG. 1:
1) the square point curve is experimental data under a pH4.5 system, the size of the naked vesicle is about 100nm when no protein exists, and no agglomeration occurs. After the protein is gradually added, the particle size of the detectable particles in the system rapidly rises, and the peak value reaches about 734.8nm when the protein concentration is 0.56 mu M. With the further increase of the protein concentration, the particle size of the particles in the system is rapidly reduced to below 200 nm.
2) The dot curve is experimental data under the condition of pH6.5, and the protein-free is that the size of the naked vesicle is about 100nm, and no agglomeration occurs. With the addition of protein, the particle size in the system increased and reached a maximum peak (1193nm) at a protein concentration of 4.5. mu.M, followed by a gradual decrease.
3) Under the condition of pH7.5 (triangle point curve), the size of the naked vesicle is about 100nm, the protein concentration at the maximum peak value is 13.5 mu M, the peak height is 1345 +/-95.78 nm, and then the protein concentration is reduced.
Taking the red curve (pH6.5, 5mM propanesulfonic acid) in FIG. 1 as an example: when the protein concentration is 0, the particle size of the naked liposome vesicle is about 100 nm; when the protein concentration in the solution is 0.625 mu M, the DLS detection result shows that the particle size in the solution is 180 nm; when the protein concentration in the solution gradually increases from 1.25 μ M to 4.5 μ M, the size of the particles in the solution transits from 200nm to 1200nm, indicating that a large-scale aggregation process occurs between the reflectrin and the liposome vesicle. When the protein concentration was further increased to 9, 13.5 or 18 μ M, the coacervation process was terminated without massive coacervate formation due to saturation of RA1 self-assemblies covering the liposome vesicle surface.
Similar results were obtained with the 100nm vesicle system and the protein system in two other buffers. In the acetic acid solution with pH4.5 (black line in FIG. 1), the size of the naked vesicle is still around 100nm when the protein concentration is 0. Under the condition, the hydration diameter of the protein self-assembly is 8 +/-0.96 nm, and compared with the condition of pH6.5, the number of protein molecules contained in a single protein self-assembly is greatly reduced. Thus, at equivalent protein concentrations, the volume of protein self-assemblies in solution is reduced and the number is greatly increased. The maximum peak of vesicle aggregation occurred earlier at a protein concentration of 0.625 μ M (. about.750 nm). Subsequently, the coagulation status decays rapidly with increasing protein concentration; when the protein concentration exceeds 2.25. mu.M, the particle size in the solution is kept below 200 nm.
In contrast, in pH7.5 propanesulfonic acid (blue line in FIG. 3.5), the hydrated diameter of the protein self-assemblies increased to 34.4. + -. 8.2nm, and higher concentrations were required to achieve equivalent levels of protein self-assemblies in solution at low pH. The particle agglomeration peak in solution was delayed to the right until significant aggregation (-800 nm) did not occur until the protein concentration reached 4.5. mu.M and peaked (-1400 nm) at a protein concentration of 13.5. mu.M. Subsequently, when the protein concentration was further increased to 18. mu.M, the aggregation of vesicles on a large scale rapidly disappeared, and the particle size of the substance in the reaction solution rapidly decreased to about 200 nm.
Example II: RA1+ Liposomal vesicles (pH7.5) + proteinase K (37 ℃ C.)
In example I, the RA1 concentration reached 13.5. mu.M with propane sulfonic acid at pH7.5, giving the largest size of RA 1-liposome aggregates formed. The RA 1-liposome aggregate formed under these conditions was selected as a sample, and treated with proteinase K at a final concentration of 0.15mg/ml at 37 ℃ for 50 minutes, whereby the results shown in FIG. 2 were obtained. In fig. 2, after proteinase K degrades RA1 and its formed protein self-assembly, RA 1-liposome aggregate is not, but not, dissociated, but triggers a large-scale, vigorous vesicle fusion process: the 100nm vesicles used in the beginning of the experiment are rapidly fused to form a huge and new vesicle monomer with the size of micron.
FIG. 2 shows the membrane fusion promoting process of the glistening protein under three different fields of view (white scale is 10 μ M, protein concentration is 13.5 μ M, pH is 7.5) A-C) based on the membrane fusion results under the field of view of confocal microscope.
Considering the amino acid sequence characteristics of the glistening protein, the hydrophobic fragment is likely to be embedded in the self-assembly body during the formation process, and the part exposed in the solution is weaker in hydrophobicity; meanwhile, the functional domain of the membrane protein generally spans the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and should have strong hydrophobicity. In the process of treating the reflective protein by using protease K, the protein self-assembly is gradually untied, and the amino acid sequence which is wrapped by hydrophobicity and has the function on a specific membrane is released; the specific amino acid functional sequences perform the function on the membrane within a certain time range, and the process of promoting liposome vesicles with the particle size of about 100nm to fuse into micron-sized giant vesicles is completed.
Example III: RA1+ liposome vesicles (pH7.5) + proteinase K (37 ℃) + PMSF
Notably, proteinase K randomly cleaves up to 22 serine sites in the amino acid sequence of the reflectrin. At the end of the enzymatic hydrolysis, the entire gliadin will be thoroughly minced. In this process, various functional sequences including the membrane-promoting fusion sequence may be sequentially released or destroyed.
FIG. 3 results of membrane fusion promotion and tube formation under confocal microscope (white scale: 10 μ M, protein concentration: 13.5 μ M, pH7.5)
In view of this, the present invention preferably selects a processing method: using benzyl sulfuryl fluoride (PMSF), a common protease inhibitor, the enzymatic hydrolysis was terminated after 30 minutes of reaction (0.15mg/ml proteinase K, 37 ℃ C.), and after standing for ten minutes, the experimental results shown in FIG. 3 were obtained. In the test process, RA1 firstly facilitates the membrane fusion behavior among liposome vesicles of 100nm in the gradual degradation process, and large liposomes are formed; subsequently, since PMSF prevents further degradation of RA1, so that it is in a semi-degraded state, a part of functional amino acid sequence is preserved, thus leading to that the fused liposome vesicle monomer can maintain a special spatial tubular structure. In the present embodiment, RA1 has three functions of liposome large-scale agglomeration, membrane fusion promotion and maintenance of liposome membrane structure space tube-packaging characteristics.
