  • 摘要: 脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide, LPS)作为布鲁氏菌(Brucella)重要毒力因子,在布鲁氏菌感染宿主过程中发挥重要作用。本研究通过对布鲁氏菌LPS合成相关重要蛋白进行生物信息学分析,并选择布鲁氏菌LPS O侧链关键基因per进行克隆表达,挖掘布鲁氏菌LPS功能及应用潜力。结果显示,布鲁氏菌LPS合成相关30个重要蛋白主要为无信号肽和跨膜螺旋结构的亲水性蛋白,均具有较强反应原性和甲基化及磷酸化修饰位点;其中18个蛋白(18/30)可发生糖基化修饰,4个蛋白(4/30)可发生乙酰化修饰;亚细胞定位显示,绝大多数蛋白在细胞质中发挥功能,少数在细胞周质及细胞内膜上发挥功能;除Wbpw蛋白外,布鲁氏菌LPS合成相关重要蛋白之间可发生相互作用;构建了pET28a-per重组表达质粒,经诱导在上清液中表达45.7 kDa蛋白,Western Blot验证该蛋白反应原性较强。本研究为布鲁氏菌LPS功能的后续研究及新型疫苗和诊断技术研发提供科学依据。

     

    Abstract: As an important virulence factor of Brucella, lipopolysaccharide(LPS) plays a significant role in the process of Brucella infecting the host. Based on the bioinformatics analysis of the important proteins related to the synthesis of Brucella LPS, this study selected the key gene per of the Brucella LPS O side chain for cloning and expression, aiming to explore the function and application potential of Brucella LPS. According to the results, the Brucella LPS synthesis-related 30 important proteins are mainly hydrophilic proteins without signal peptides and transmembrane helix structures, all of which have strong reactogenicity and methylation and phosphorylation modification sites. Among them, 18 proteins(18/30) can be modified by glycosylation, and 4 proteins(4/30) can be modified by acetylation. Subcellular location showed that most of the proteins function in the cytoplasm, and a few of them function in the periplasm and the inner membrane of the cell. In addition to the Wbpw protein, there can be interactions between important proteins related to the synthesis of Brucella LPS. The pET28 a-per recombinant expression plasmid was constructed, and 45.7 kDa protein was expressed in the supernatant after induction. Through the Western Blot, the protein was verified to be highly reactive. For the follow-up research on the function of Brucella LPS and the research and development of new vaccines as well as diagnostic technologies, this research is considered a scientific foundation.
