内源性绵羊肺腺瘤逆转录病毒env基因克隆与生物信息学分析

Cloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of the env Gene of Endogenous Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus

  • 摘要: 本研究对内源性绵羊肺腺瘤逆转录病毒(endogenous jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus, enJSRV)env基因进行克隆、测序并利用生物信息学方法分析enJSRV Env蛋白的相似性、遗传进化、理化性质、糖基化位点、磷酸化位点、B细胞抗原表位及其二级、三级结构。实验获得了完整的enJSRV env基因序列,其全长1 836 bp,编码611个氨基酸。在env基因编码的TM区没有发现exJSRV所特有的“YXXM”基序,env基因属高度保守的基因。env基因序列与GenBank中已登录的enJSRV env基因序列相似性为98.7%~99.5%,推导氨基酸序列相似性为98.0%~99.5%。enJSRV env基因与GenBank中已登录的exJSRV env基因序列相似性88.3%~95.2%,推导氨基酸序列相似性为92.3%~93.8%。生物信息学分析结果显示,enJSRV Env蛋白表现为弱碱、亲水、不稳定蛋白;其二级结构中以α-螺旋和无规则卷曲结构为主,三级结构同源建模成功,主要是螺旋和无规则卷曲;亚细胞定位Env蛋白主要分布在细胞内质网中,无信号肽,存在跨膜结构域;Env蛋白序列中存在25个丝氨酸磷酸化,21个潜在苏氨酸磷酸化位点和5个酪氨酸磷酸化位点以及4个糖基化位点;抗原表位预测显示,该蛋白含有多个B细胞优势抗原表位和多个优势CTL表位。本研究结果为进一步阐释enJSRV Env蛋白在绵羊(Ovis aries)体内的生物学作用的研究提供新的思路。

     

    Abstract: In this study, we cloned and sequenced the endogenous jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus(enJSRV) env gene, and using bioinformatics method to analyzed the similarity, genetic evolution, physicochemical properties, glycosylation sites, phosphorylation sites, B cell antigen epitopes and their secondary and tertiary structures of enJSRV Env protein. The complete enJSRV env gene sequence was obtained in the experiment, with a total length of 1 836 bp, encoding 611 amino acids. No exogenous exJSRV-specific "YXXM" motif was found in the TM region encoded by env gene, and env gene is a highly conserved gene. The similarity of the env gene sequence and the enJSRV env gene sequence registered in GenBank is 98.7%~99.5%, and the deduced amino acid sequence similarity is 98.0%~99.5%. The sequence similarity of exJSRV env gene was 88.3%~95.2% and that of the deduced amino acid sequence was 92.3%~93.8%. Bioinformatics analysis showed that enJSRV Env protein was a weak base, hydrophilic and unstable protein. In the secondary structure, α-helix and irregular crimps are the main structures, while the similarity modeling of the tertiary structure is successful, which mainly consists of helix and irregular crimps. The subcellular localization of Env protein was mainly distributed in the endoplasmic reticulum, and there was no signal peptide but existed transmembrane domain. There were 25 serine phosphorylation sites, 21 threonine phosphorylation sites, 5 tyrosine phosphorylation sites and 4 glycosylation sites in the protein sequence. The protein contained multiple B cell dominant epitopes and multiple dominant CTL epitopes. The results of this study provide a new idea for further elucidating the biological role of enJSRV Env protein in sheep.
