Problems solved by technology

Existing studies have found that plyG contains an amino acid sequence that can specifically recognize the vegetative body of Bacillus anthracis (Fujinami, Y., Y.Hirai, et al. (2007). "Sensitive detection of Bacillus anthracis using a binding protein originating from gamma-phage." Microbiol Immunol 51(2):163-169.), but whether plyG contains an amino acid sequence that can recognize Bacillus anthracis spores is not yet known

Embodiment 1

[0034] Acquisition of NVRTHQSWSGKYCPHRMLAEG polypeptide (SBD1) capable of recognizing anthrax spores:

[0035] The full-length sequence of the previously published plyG protein is as follows:

[0036] MEIQKKLVDPSKYGTKCPYTMKPKYITVHNTYNDAPAENEVSYMISNNNEVSFHIAVDDKKAIQGIPLERNAWACGDGNGSGNRQSISVEICYSKSGGDRYYKAEDNAVDVVRQLMSMYNIPIE NVRTHQSWSGKYCPHRRMLAEG RWGAFIQKVKNGNVATTSPTKQNIIQSGAFSPYETPDVMGALTSLKMTADDFILQSDGLTYFISKPTSDAQLKAMKEYLDRKGWWYEVK.

[0037] Through in vitro truncated plyG protein experiments, it was identified that the 21 amino acids above the protein can recognize Bacillus anthracis spores, and the underlined part of the bottom is the polypeptide sequence (SBD1) corresponding to the 21 amino acids in the full-length amino acid sequence of the phage lyase plyG position on the

[0038] SBD1 has the ability to bind to spores of Bacillus anthracis.

[0039] In order to further confirm the specificity and affinity of the polypeptide sequence for binding to the spores of Ba...

Embodiment 2

[0043] Verification of SBD1 polypeptide recognition of anthrax spores:

[0044] (1) Anthrax spore pretreatment:

[0045] In this experiment, formaldehyde-inactivated anthrax spores were used as experimental samples. The inactivated anthrax spores were blocked with PBSM (1×PBS, 5% skimmed milk) at 37°C for 2 h, washed 3 times with PBST (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween-20) by centrifugation (12000 g, 1 min), and dissolved in PBS.

[0046] (2) Staining and fluorescence microscope analysis of anthrax spores:

[0047] The treated anthrax spores were incubated with FITC-SBD and FITC at the same molar concentration for 30min-1h at room temperature, washed with PBST (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween-20) for 3 times by centrifugation (12000g, 1min), and dissolved in phosphate buffer. An appropriate amount of anthrax spores incubated with FITC-SBD was spread on a glass slide, and the fluorescence of Bacillus anthracis spores was observed with a fluorescence microscope. At the same time, using the anthracis s...

Embodiment 3

[0055] Polypeptides recognizing Bacillus anthracis spores containing longer plyG amino acid sequences were obtained:

[0056] On the SBD1 sequence, by adding more amino acid sequences on plyG, it is possible to obtain a better polypeptide capable of recognizing anthrax spores. In this embodiment, only one column is used for illustration. In this example, by fusing the green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene with the plyG gene containing the polypeptide gene fragment of interest, and then expressing it in Escherichia coli, it becomes a polypeptide with a fluorescent protein marker. The polypeptide labeled with the fluorescent protein is used for the identification of bacillus anthracis spores.

[0057] This embodiment takes as an example the fusion protein EP6 which is fused with a polypeptide with a length of 60 amino acid sequences (106-165, p60) and EGFP.

Abstract

The invention relates to a polypeptide sequence for identifying spores of Bacillus anthracis, and application of the polypeptide sequence, and in particular discloses a segment of NVRTHQSWSGKY CPHRMLAEG amino acid sequence capable of identifying spores of Bacillus anthracis. On the basis of the amino acid sequence, several amino acid sequences on plyG enzyme are added, and polypeptide with high affinity to the spores of Bacillus anthracis can be obtained; and a series of polypeptides and proteins, which comprise the sequence, are constructed by a chemical synthesis or gene engineering method, and can be used for probes for detecting the spores of Bacillus anthracis or carriers enriching the spores of Bacillus anthracis. The polypeptides with the polypeptide sequence have the main characteristics of specifically combining the spores of Bacillus anthracis but not having an identifying effect on vegetative mass of Bacillus anthracis or spores of other bacteria; and the specific identification and combination can be used for identifying and detecting the spores of Bacillus anthracis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a polypeptide sequence capable of recognizing Bacillus anthracis spores, in particular to a polypeptide sequence for specific detection and identification of Bacillus anthracis spores. The invention also provides a method for identifying and detecting Bacillus anthracis spores by using the polypeptide and protein containing the sequence. Background technique [0002] Anthrax is an infectious disease that seriously threatens human health, and its pathogen is Bacillus anthracis. The spores of Bacillus anthracis are one of the most concerned biological warfare agents and bioterrorists because of their great stress resistance and biological toxicity. Because Bacillus anthracis is very closely related to Bacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus mycoides, it brings difficulties to the effective identification and rapid detection of anthrax spores. It is of great significance to develop biomarkers that can specif...
