Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of yeast, mammalian or Leishmania infantum DEAD box-type RNA helicase for inducing the production of cytokines by a mammalian peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and its applications.
- PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cell
- Helicases are proteins capable of unwinding DNA or RNA duplexes using the energy released by the hydrolysis of nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs) (Caruthers and McKay 2002, Tanner and Linder 2001). Two classes of helicases have been identified according to the specificity of the substrate:
- DNA helicases that bind DNA, unwind complementary DNA structures and dissociate DNA-protein interactions. They are ubiquitous proteins identified in different organisms ranging from viruses to higher eukaryotes. They are involved in several biological processes where the double-stranded structure of DNA has to be unwound in single-stranded form to serve as a substrate in different biological processes such as DNA replication, recombination, transcription, and repair (Hall and Matson 1999, Tuteja and Tuteja 2004 a, b).
- RNA helicases that unroll the RNA duplexes and dissociate the RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions. These proteins are found in all prokaryotic, eukaryotic and several viruses (Rocak and Linder, 2004). They are involved in all processes of PARN metabolism: transcription, ribosome biogenesis, pre-mRNA splicing, nuclear mRNA export, translation initiation and mRNA degradation (de la Cruz et al, 1999, Schmid and Linder 1992, Silverman et al, 2003).
- Koonin proposed a general classification of helicases in 5 major families (Gorbalenya and Koonin, 1993). Each family is characterized by preserved patterns whose number and sequence are unique to it. All families possess the binding and hydrolysis motifs of NTPs called walker A and B (Walker et al, 1982). Superfamilies 1 and 2 (SF1 and SF2) are the most represented. They group DNA and RNA helicases of bacteria, archaebacteria, of eubacteria, eukaryotes and viruses. They are characterized by 7 to 9 conserved motifs, including 5 to 7 common motifs (see Figure 1).
- the SF3 superfamily groups small proteins (about 100 amino acids) of DNA and RNA viruses (Kadare and Haenni, 1997). They are characterized by 3 preserved motifs. SF4 superfamily proteins are DNA helicases that mediate the replication of bacterial and bacteriophage DNA (llyima et al., 1992). They are characterized by 5 conserved motifs Hl, HIa, H2, H3 and H4. Patel and Picha have shown that these proteins form hexamers that are able to unwind DNA in the 5 'to 3' direction.
- the superfamily SF5 is represented by the transcription factor Rho (Patel and Picha, 2000).
- the DExD / H box proteins belonging to the SF2 family, form the largest family of RNA helicases identified to date. They are present in all organisms, from bacteria to humans, as well as in certain viruses (de La Cruz et al, 1999, Rocak and Linder, 2004, Schmid and Linder, 1992). These proteins were identified for the first time when Linder et al. (1989) aligned EIF4A eukaryotic translation initiation factor homologous protein sequences. The size of these proteins varies between 400 and 1200 residues.
- DEAD-box proteins are named after the motif sequence II DEAD (for aspartate-glutamate-alanine-aspartate).
- the regions located in the N-terminal and C-terminal positions of the helicase heart are themselves very variable in size and in sequence.
- the DEAD box proteins In addition to the five ⁇ -sheets and the five ⁇ -helices of the two domains 1 and 2, the DEAD box proteins have one ⁇ -sheet and two ⁇ -helices located upstream of the motif I that wind the Q-motif (Tanner et al., 2003).
- the DEAD box proteins have in their central part nine conserved motifs, identically ordered and spaced a similar number of amino acids. Mutational analyzes combined with structure-function studies allowed them to be assigned roles.
- the consensus sequence of the Q motif is GaxcPohiQ, where "a” represents F, W or Y, “x” represents any amino acid, “c” represents D, E, H, K or R, “o” represents S or T, “h” represents A, F, G, I, L, M, P, V, W or Y, and “i” represents I, L or V.
- the conserved glutamine forms a hydrogen bond with the N6 and N7 positions of the adenine base; likewise the aromatic residue forms a hydrogen bond with the adenine base.
- the Q motif is thus a pattern of recognition of the adenine base, which has the consequence that the DEAD box proteins can only fix ATP (Tanner et al, 2003, Tanner, 2003).
- the Q motif is also required for single-stranded RNA binding as well as for conformational changes caused by binding to and hydrolysis of ATP; therefore, it has been proposed that the Q motif function as a regulator of ATPase activity by stimulating this activity only when the substrate is correctly bound at the level of the protein (Cordin et al., 2004).
- Motif I (SEQ ID NO: 2): Motif I or Walker A pattern exists in all helicases as well as in several NTPases or ATPases (Gorbalenya et al, 1989, Walker et al, 1982). Its consensus sequence is AxoGoGKT, where "x" is any amino acid, and "o” is independently S or T (see Figure 1). This motif is involved in the binding of NTP by the formation of a hydrogen bond with the nucleotide ⁇ and ⁇ phosphates and interacts with the Mg 2+ ion (Caruthers and McKay, 2002).
- the crystalline structures of DEAD-box proteins obtained in the absence of ligand show that the conserved lysine interacts with the first aspartate and motif II glutamate (Johnson and McKay 1999, Carmel and Matthews 2004). it only interacts with glutamate (Benz et al, 1999, Story et al, 2001).
- the comparison of the crystalline structures of eIF4A and MjDEAD obtained in the presence of an ADP molecule or of a bound sulfate ion at the nucleotide binding site respectively, with the crystal structures of eIF4A, BstDEAD or UAP56 obtained in FIG. absence of ligand shows a particular architecture of the motif I.
- the motif I adopts a so-called "open” conformation whereas in the absence of ligand, it adopts a so-called “closed” conformation which sterically inhibits the ATP binding (Benz et al, 1999, Story et al, 2001, Zhao et al, 2004) (see Figure 4).
- This conformational change in pattern I seems to be unique to DEAD box helicases.
- the units Ia (SEQ ID NO: 3), Ib (SEQ ID NO: 4) and the doublet GG: these units are part of the domain 1 but they do not participate directly in the binding and the hydrolysis of ATP .
- the biochemical studies carried out on the eIF4A protein (Rogers et al., 2002) as well as those of the crystalline structure of the helicase portion of the hepatitis C NS3 protein obtained in the presence of a poly dU (see FIG. al, 1998) show that these motifs are necessary for binding to RNA. Alanine substitution of the Ia motif in some DEAD-box proteins abolishes ATPase and helicase activities (Svitkin et al, 2001).
- Motif III SAT SEQ ID NO: 6: mutations in the SAT motif (Ser-Ala-Thr) of the eIF4A protein and certain DEAH box homologous proteins abolish the RNA helicase activity without altering the binding to and hydrolysis of ATP as well as RNA binding (Pause and Sonenberg 1992, Schwer and Mezaros 2000). Recently, it has been shown that the substitution of serine and threonine by an alanine of the yeast DEAD Hasl box protein partially dissociates the helicase and ATPase activities (Rocak et al, 2005).
- motif III appears as part of the flexible link between domains 1 and 2, whereas in crystal structures of the DEAD box proteins: MjDEAD (Story et al, 2001), BstDEAD (Carmel and Matthews, 2004) and UAP 56 (Zhao et al, 2004), it belongs to domain 1 and is separated from domain 2 by a helix-loop-sheet structure ⁇ .
- motif III interacts with the DEAD motif in the presence or absence of the nucleotide.
- motif III of DEAD-box proteins does not interact with bound ATP. Korolev and his colleagues propose that motif III of SFl superfamily proteins serves as a relay that transmits the effects of ATP binding and hydrolysis to the binding patterns of IV and V RNA (Korolev and al, 1997). Probably, motif III has the same function in DEAD box proteins.
- the first residues of the V motif are very close to the hydrophobic residue of the IV motif (see Figure 5, Caruthers et al, 2000, Shi et al, 2004, Story et al, 2001), suggesting a communication between the IV and V motifs.
- Banroques and its collaborators by mutagenesis studies, have shown that the retained phenylalanine residue of the IV motif is necessary for the cooperation between RNA binding and hydrolysis of ATP (Banroques et al, 2008).
- Motif V (SEQ ID NO: 8): the motif V, in association with the motifs Ia, Ib and IV, is involved in the binding to the RNA. It is located at the loop connecting domains 1 and 2 in the RNA binding region (see Figures 1 and 4). Its consensus sequence is T (D / N) xx ARGiD, where "x" independently represents any amino acid, and "i” represents I, L or V (see Figure 1).
- the crystal structure of eIF4A (see Figure 2B, Caruthers et al., 2000) shows that the conserved arginine of the V motif interacts with the motif II or with the bound nucleotide.
- the last aspartate interacts directly with ATP ribose (Caruthers et al, 2000, Caruthers and McKay, 2002).
- the crystalline structures established for DEAD-box proteins, in the presence or absence of the ligand, show different interactions (see Figure 5). Indeed, in the crystalline structures established in the presence of the ligand for the proteins MjDEAD and UAP56, the last aspartate interacts with the first or the second arginine, or threonine of the motif VI (Johnson and McKay, 1999, Shi et al, 2004; Story et al., 2001, Zhao et al, 2004).
- the first aspartate interacts with the first arginine of the motif VI (Johnson and McKay, 1999).
- the last aspartate of the V unit interacts with the first arginine of the VI motif (see Figure 5, Shi et al, 2004).
- the comparison of the structure of the V motif in the DEAD-box proteins with that of the helicase portion of the hepatitis C NS3 protein shows that the two motifs adopt the same folding.
- the motif V of the DEAD box proteins would be involved in the regulation of ATP hydrolysis by the transmission of the RNA binding signal to the ATPase domain. Mutations in the motif V of the DEAD Prp28 box protein significantly inhibit the growth of yeast strains, suggesting that both conserved arginines and aspartate play an important role in the in vivo activity of the prp28 protein (Chang et al. , 1997).
- - Motif VI (SEQ ID NO: 9): the motif VI (HRiGRzGR, where "i” independently represents I, L or V and where "z” represents T, G or S) of the DEAD box proteins is located at interface between the two domains 1 and 2 (see Figure 2 and 5); it is important for the activities of ATTPase and the link to PARN. Mutations in conserved arginine or histidine residues significantly reduce PARN binding and ATPase activity and therefore abolish helicase activity (Pause et al., 1993, Rogers et al, 2002). The crystal structure of eIF4A shows that the histidine residue interacts with the second aspartate of motif II.
- DEAD-box proteins hydrolyze PATP only in the presence of PARN, and this activity is sometimes influenced by the nature (sequence and / or length) of the RNA substrate.
- E. coli SrmB, RhIE, and CsdA DEAD-box proteins depend on the length of PARN used as a substrate (Bizebard et al, 2004) .
- the majority of DEAD-box proteins do not have specificity of the RNA substrate, in vitro. In fact, the specificity for a given RNA seems rather to be provided by patterns or domains outside the helicase heart. In the case of DEAD box protein at 'E.
- coli DbpA its ATPase activity is stimulated by PARN 23 S, more precisely by a fragment of 153 nucleotides containing the helix 92 of the V domain of this RNA (Fuller-Pace et al, 1993, Tsu and Uhlenbeck, 1998; et al, 2001).
- the DbpA protein would interact specifically with helix 92 via its C domain. terminal and not specifically with the adjacent region via its helicase core (Tsu et al, 2001, Kossen et al, 2002).
- DEAD-box proteins are considered to be RNA helicases, although this activity has only been demonstrated for some of them.
- DEAD-boxed proteins are capable of unwinding duplexes consisting of at least one RNA strand of either 5 'to 3' or 3 'to 5' when tested in vitro. Most of these DEAD-box proteins require the presence of single-stranded RNA regions either 5 'or 3' of the matched region, probably to be loaded (Rocak and Linder, 2004).
- the eIF4A protein is capable of rolling short RNA / RNA or RNA / DNA duplexes; on the other hand, it is unable to unwind the DNA / DNA duplexes.
- DEAD box protein E. DEAD box protein. coli RhIE (Bizebard et al., 2004). Some DEAD box proteins, such as eIF4A, p68 and RhIE, are bidirectional because, in vitro, they are capable of indifferently dividing duplexes carrying a 3 'or 5' single-stranded end (Bizebard et al., 2004; and Liu, 2002, Rogers et al., 2001a). DEAD-like proteins, like the majority of helicases, are very unproductive.
- Some helicase proteins have, in vitro, homologous sequence pairing activity.
- the two DEAD p68 and p72 box proteins are able, in vitro, to catalyze the pairing of complementary strands when they are present in excess of the substrate (Rossler et al., 2001). ). By combining these two activities, they can catalyze, in vitro, rearrangements of RNA secondary structures, which are otherwise too stable to be eliminated by their helicase activity alone (Rossler et al., 2001).
- the eIF4B protein that stimulates the helicase and ATPase activities of the eIF4A protein also has the pairing activity (Altmann et al., 1995), which further demonstrates that the two activities are physically separate. .
- DEAD-box proteins are also involved in all processes of RNA metabolism (transcription, maturation, transport, translation, ribosome biogenesis, RNA interference, RNA stability and degradation).
- Splicing is a multi-step process involving two trans-esterification reactions and structural rearrangements in the spliceosome assembly step that requires energy from NTP hydrolysis.
- the exact role of RNA helicases in the spliceosome assembly is not known, but it is generally accepted that they intervene to unwind the small duplexes formed between snRNA and pre-mRNA, which is the case of the box protein. DExH, Prp 22.
- a mutant in motif III of this protein exhibits a lethal phenotype at temperatures below 30 ° C and slower growth at 34 ° C and 37 ° C.
- the mutant protein In vitro, the mutant protein is able to hydrolyze ATP, but is unable to unroll RNA duplexes and release spliceosome mRNA, suggesting that loss of helicase activity is the cause of the lethal phenotype.
- a second mutation in motif Ib which restores the helicase activity and dissociation of spliceosome mRNA, behaves as an intragenic suppressor, suggesting that helicase activity is required at this stage (Schwer and Meszaros, 2000). ).
- the majority of DEAD-box proteins involved in the mRNA splicing process occur at the early stages of spliceosome assembly, which is the case with DEAD Prp5 box protein.
- DEAD protein Prp5 uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to rearrange local RNA-RNA or RNA-protein interactions, which allow the snARN U2 complex to join the snARN Ul complex.
- DEAD box protein Prp28 uses the energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP to destabilize the snARN complex U1 and replace it with the snARN complex U6 at the splice site (Staley and Gutherie, 1999).
- DEAD p68 box protein is involved in the dissociation of the snARN complex U1 from the 5 'site required for splicing according to a dependent ATP mechanism.
- DEAD-boxed helicase RNAs participate in ribosome biogenesis, in which their helicase or RNPase activity could allow fine regulation of the organization of the multiple transient RNA-RNA or protein-RNA interactions during biogenesis and maturation of ribosomal RNAs (Luking et al, 1998, Kressler et al, 1999, Rocak and Linder, 2004). Only the DEAD Hasl box protein is involved in both 4OS and 6OS subunit biogenesis (Emry et al, 2004).
- RNA helicases involved in this process may reshape mRNP complexes before or during passage through nuclear pores (Silverman et al., 2003). They could also intervene to dissociate nuclear factors from the mRNA to allow the export of mRNA, or to prepare the messenger for the first cycle of translation (Rocak and Linder, 2004).
- the DEAD Dbp5 box protein participates in this process.
- Double hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation experiments identified several partners, including Glel, a nuclear pore-associated RNA export factor, and GFd1 / ymr255, a factor that interacts with both Dbp5 and GLeI. (Tseng et al, 1998, Hodge et al., 1999 Schmitt et al., 1999).
- Dbp5 proteins of yeast and human also interact with Nupl59, a compound of the nuclear pore complex (Zhao et al., 2002).
- yeast the ATPase activity of the DEAD Sub2 box protein is required for its detachment of mRNA and its replacement by the Mex 67 mRNA transport factor (Strasser and Huit, 2001).
- NMD Mediated Decay
- PTC premature termination codon
- Several proteins that are part of the exon junction complex are involved in this mechanism (Reed and Huit, 2002).
- DEAD eIF4AIII box protein belongs to the exon junction complex (EJC) and binds to RNA during splicing (Chan et al, 2004; Ferraiuolo et al, 2004, Shibuya et al, 2004).
- the eIF4AIII protein interacts with eIF4G and eIF4B but unlike eIF4AI and eIF4AII, it inhibits translation (Li et al, 1999).
- the DEAD Ded1 box protein is also involved in the initiation of translation, presumably independently of eIF4A (Chuang et al, 1997, Cruz et al, 1997, Iost et al, 1999, Linder, 2003).
- the exact role of Dedl in the translation initiation process is not yet known, but it could be involved in the process of moving the small 4OS subunit to the initiation codon to remove secondary structures. on mRNA or fortuitous interactions between mRNA and tRNA, or codon / anticodon imperfect interactions (Linder, 2003).
- a mutation in the helicase core of the Dedl protein selectively inhibits the translation of the 2A polymerase, thus suppressing the replication of the RNA2 genome of the bromine mosaic virus while providing general translation of the cell.
- the DedI protein could have regulatory functions distinct from its general role in translation or that the mutant protein has a weak helicase activity, nevertheless, sufficient to ensure cellular translation but not the translation of RNA polymerase 2A (Noueiry et al., 2000).
- the use of immunotherapeutic approaches to improve host immune responses to developing tumors has been demonstrated.
- cytokines such as TNF alpha, type I and type II INFs, IL-2, IL-12, IL-15 and IL-18 which are among the the most potent inducers of anti-tumor activity according to preclinical studies.
- IL-12 is given special attention because of its central role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. It can by itself induce powerful anticancer effects and also act in synergy with other cytokines to increase its immunoregulatory and antitumor activities (Weiss et al, 2007).

- microspheres loaded with DNA encoding IL-12 Son and Kim, 2007
- synergistic combinations of IL-12 and TNF-alpha cytokines Sabel et al., 2007.
- Leishmania are flagellated protozoa, belonging to the order Kinetoplastidae and the family trypanosomatidae. They are responsible for leishmaniasis.
- the LeIF protein was identified by screening a genomic DNA library of Leishmania braziliensis promastigotes with sera from patients with cutaneomucous leishmaniasis due to L. braziliensis (Skeiky et al., 1995). The comparison of sequences with those present in the data banks made it possible to identify it as being homologous to the eIF4A translation initiation factor (Skeiky et al., 1995). It is a cytoplasmic protein of 403 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 45.3 KDa, whose transcripts are detected in both promastigote and amastigote stages (Skeiky et al., 1998, Salay et al., 2007).
- Leishmania LeIF protein has been shown not to complement the loss of eIF4A protein in yeast but interacts with translation initiation factors (eIF4G) in a non-specific manner.
- the L. braziliensis LeIF protein has the ability to induce the production of IFN- ⁇ and TNF- ⁇ by PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis, mucosal leishmaniasis, or diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis, and IL-12 by both patient and uninfected PBMCs (Skeiky et al., 1995).
- PBMCs peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- This protein is also capable of inducing the secretion of cytokines IL-12, IL-10 and TNF- ⁇ by antigen-presenting cells: macrophages and dendritic cells from normal individuals (Probst et al., 1997).
- the cytokine inducing activity of the LeIF protein appears to be located in the N-terminal region (1-226) (Probst et al., 1997). These results were confirmed by the same authors in the mouse model. Skeiky et al. (1998) have shown that the Leishmania major LeIF recombinant protein is capable of stimulating IFN- ⁇ secretion by L. major-infected BALB / c spleen cells, to promote development of TH1 clones in BALB / c mice immunized with this protein in the absence of adjuvant and finally to stimulate the production of IFN- ⁇ by splenocytes of SCID mice by an IL-12-dependent mechanism.
- LeIF protein is one of the constituents of a second-generation Leishmania vaccine consisting of three fused Leishmania proteins, which has been described as immunogenic and confers a significant degree of protection in Leishmania major or L. infantum-immunized mice ( Coler et al., 2002; 2007), but which does not appear to be protective in mice immunized with L. braziliensis (Salay et al, 2007). This vaccine is still in phases of clinical trials in humans. LeIF protein has also been used in immunotherapy in a patient with mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (Badaro et al., 2001).
- IMM-I B7-1 and CD54
- the present invention aims to provide new molecules capable of modulating the production of cytokines by mammalian host cells, for treating or preventing infectious diseases or cancers in particular.
- the inventors have used monocytes derived from PBMC from healthy donors, whether or not awarded with IFN- ⁇ , to test the ability of recombinant proteins to induce the production of cytokines IL-12 (in particular IL-12p70), IL-10 and TNF- ⁇ , so as to demonstrate their immunomodulatory properties.

These levels are significantly higher than those induced in culture supernatants of unstimulated monocytes (29.69 ⁇ 24, 31 ⁇ g / ml) or stimulated by recombinant LeIFK76A alone (342.55 ⁇ 323.24 ⁇ g / ml). or IFN-gamma alone (22.43 ⁇ 17.14 pg / ml, p ⁇ 0.05, see Table 6 below).
- Table 6 shows the statistical analysis of the observed differences in IL-12p70 production rates in monocyte culture supernatants stimulated by LeIF and LeIFK76A proteins. The values of p determined by the paired t test are indicated. Table 6:
- the culture supernatants are collected after 24 hours of incubation for the IL-12 assay or 18 hours for the assay of IL-10 and TNF- ⁇ .
- Levels of IL-12, IL-10 and TNF ⁇ are determined by sandwich ELISA.
- - IL-12 the monocytes purified from the PBMCs of five healthy individuals, awarded for 12 hours by IFN-gamma (3000 U / ml) or not, are stimulated by soluble LeIF protein and its different domains at final concentrations of 10 ⁇ g / ml or LPS at 1 ⁇ g / ml.
- the culture supernatants are collected after 24 hours of incubation for the
- the deletion of the amino-terminal residues does not affect the IL-12p70 cytokine inducing activity of the LeIF protein.
- the difference between IL-12p70 levels induced by the LeIF protein so lubie (3805.9 ⁇ 1069, 1 ⁇ g / ml) and the LeIF ⁇ 25 protein (2921.95 ⁇ 905.78 ⁇ g / ml) is not not significant (p> 0.05, see Table 8).
- the D1 + (1-237) and D1 domains induce the production of IL-12p70 levels comparable to those induced by the LeIF ⁇ 25 protein and significantly higher than those induced by the D2 domain (1482.99 ⁇ 596.89 ⁇ g). ml, p ⁇ 0.05, Table 8).
- the difference between the D1-domain induced IL-12p70 levels and those induced by the D2 domain of the LeIF protein may be due to the difference in the number of DEAD box motifs between the two domains. Indeed, the domain D 1 contains 6 motifs (Q, Ia, Ib, I, II and III) and the domain D2 contains the 3 motifs: IV, V and VI. This suggests that the DEAD box motifs may play a role in the inducer activity of the IL-12p70 cytokine by the LeIF protein.
- Table 8 shows the statistical analysis of the observed differences in IL-12p70 levels in monocyte culture supernatants stimulated by soluble LeIF protein and its different domains. The values of p determined by the paired t test are indicated. Table 8:
- IL-10 The results illustrated in Figure H (B) show that the different recombinant proteins LeIF ⁇ 25, Dl + (1-237), D1 (25-237) and D2 (237-403) induce rate secretion.
- IL-10 (1951.15 ⁇ 408.4, 1477.88 ⁇ 381.92, 1408.91 ⁇ 269.75 and 1130.55 ⁇ 184.9 ⁇ g / ml) significantly higher than those induced in supernatants unstimulated monocytes (32.14 ⁇ g / ml, p ⁇ 0.05, see Table 9 below).
- the domain D2 (237-403) of the LeIF protein induces the production of a level of IL-10 (1130.55 ⁇ 184.9 ⁇ g / ml) which is significantly lower than that induced by the LeIF (S) or LeIF ⁇ 25 protein (p ⁇ 0.05, see Table 9) and comparable to that induced by the D1 + (1-237) or D1 (25-237) domain (p> 0.05, cf. Table 9).
