Bioinformatics analysis of Mycobacterium bovis Ag85B and construction of a multi-epitope candidate antigen

  • 摘要: 为了构建基于牛分枝杆菌Ag85B蛋白的多表位候选抗原,试验采用生物信息学方法对Ag85B蛋白的理化性质、亲/疏水性、二级结构等进行分析,预测其T、B淋巴细胞抗原表位,并构建以pET-28a(+)为载体的多表位候选抗原,分析预测多表位候选抗原的理化性质、抗原性并进行免疫模拟。结果表明:Ag85B蛋白有325个氨基酸残基,相对分子量为34.580 85,理论等电点为5.62,脂肪系数为72.18,亚细胞定位于线粒体、细胞质和高尔基体中,具有亲水性、信号肽和跨膜结构域,属于分泌型蛋白,其无规则卷曲和β-转角结构的占比分别28.15%和8.62%,含有3个T淋巴细胞优势表位和8个B淋巴细胞优势表位。构建的Ag85B多表位候选抗原为亲水性蛋白和非致敏原,两次预测免疫原性参数分别为0.893和1.524,可诱导特异性的体液和细胞免疫应答。说明试验成功构建出基于牛分枝杆菌Ag85B蛋白的多表位候选抗原,且该多表位候选抗原可能诱导机体产生T、B淋巴细胞免疫应答。

     

    Abstract: In order to construct a multi-epitope candidate antigen based on Mycobacterium bovis Ag85B protein, in the experiment, bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the physicochemical properties, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and secondary structure of Ag85B protein, and to predict its antigenic epitopes for T and B lymphocytes. A multi-epitope candidate antigen was constructed into the vector pET-28a(+), and the physicochemical properties, antigenicity and immunosimulation of the multi-epitope candidate antigen were analyzed and predicted. The results showed that Ag85B protein had 325 amino acid residues, relative molecular weight of 34.580 85, theoretical isoelectric point of 5.62, and fat coefficient of 72.18; it subcellularly localized in mitochondria, cytoplasm and Golgi, with hydrophilic, signal peptide and transmembrane structural domains; it belonged to the secretory protein; the percentages of irregularly curled and β-turned structures were 28.15% and 8.62%, respectively, and it contained three T-lymphocyte dominant epitopes and eight B-lymphocyte dominant epitopes. The constructed multi-epitope candidate antigen of Ag85B was hydrophilic protein and non-allergen; the two predicted immunogenicity parameters were 0.893 and 1.524, respectively; it could induce specific humoral and cellular immune responses. The results indicated that the test successfully constructed a multi-epitope candidate antigen based on Mycobacterium bovis Ag85B protein, and the multi-epitope candidate antigen might induce T and B lymphocyte immune responses in the organism.
