摘要:

潮霉素磷酸转移酶基因广泛用于转基因生物的基因转化过程中,该基因(hpt)编码的蛋白属于无食用和食物过敏史的处源目的蛋白。根据IFBC-ILSI 制定的转基因食品致过敏性评价方法,进行了与已知的过敏蛋白的氨基酸序列相似性比较、消化稳定性实验以及动物模型实验。结果表明,未发现连续8 个氨基酸序列相同;该蛋白在80℃加热10min 左右时已全部降解,不具有热稳定性;体外模拟消化实验表明,消化20min 时,SDS-PAGE 和WesternBlotting 已检测不出Hpt 蛋白。实验采用BN 大鼠作为过敏模型,ELISA 检测特异IgG、IgE 以及组胺水平,Hpt 蛋白与阳性存在显著性差异(p < 0.05),与阴性无显著性差异。综合结果表明,Hpt 蛋白潜在致敏性很低。本研究可为进一步开展以hpt 基因为标记性基因的作物上市前安全性的评价提供基础数据。

Abstract:

Hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hpt) has been widely used in the process of gene construction when agricultural plants are modified by biotechnology. Hpt protein as an introduced “new” protein was obtained from sources with no prior history of causing allergy, thus its safety assessment was mainly focused on comparison of amino acid sequences, in vitro digestibility and animal model according to the IFBC-ILSI. Individual sequence analysis with known amino acid sequences, reported as allergens, showed that no eight continuous amino acids are observed; Hpt protein is unstable to heat for its complete decomposition at 80 ℃ for 10 min. It is also digested within the first 20 min by simulated gastric fluid treatment as observed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. BN rats were used to establish allergenicity model. The levels of IgG, IgE and histamine were tested by ELISA. The results showed that the Hpt protein has significant difference with the positive (p < 0.05), but no difference with the negative. In conclusion, Hpt protein has low probability to induce allergenicity. The results can provide basic data for evaluating the safety of genetically modified plants which use hpt as marker gene.

Key words: hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene, safety assessment, in vitro digestibility, animal model, allergenicity
