Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological genetic engineering, and specifically relates to polypeptides for promoting the exocrine expression of target proteins, biological materials and applications thereof, antimicrobial peptide fusion proteins, and recombinant genetic engineering bacteria. Background Art

[0002] Antibiotics play an important role in preventing animal diseases, regulating immunity, and promoting growth. However, bacterial resistance caused by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics has seriously threatened human life and health, and the demand for the development of different antibiotic substitutes is increasing. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small molecule short peptides that are widely present in organisms. They are an important part of the natural immune system. They have the characteristics of broad spectrum, high efficiency, low toxicity, and low resistance to bacteria. Therefore, they have become one of the best substitutes for antibiotics recognized internationally. Proline rich antimicrobial peptides (Pr AMPs) have attracted much attention from researchers due to their simple structure, strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and low toxicity to eukaryotic cells.

[0003] At present, the methods for obtaining antimicrobial peptides are mainly through direct separation and purification from organisms, in vitro chemical synthesis, and induction of antimicrobial peptide expression by genetically engineered bacteria. Among them, direct separation and purification from organisms is the main way to discover natural antimicrobial peptides. However, the cumbersome separation process, low separation volume, and high purification cost limit this method to be unsuitable for large-scale production; in vitro chemical synthesis is the main source of antimicrobial peptides for laboratory research and development. However, due to high synthesis costs and technical limitations, some complex antimicrobial peptides cannot currently be synthesized in vitro. This method is also not suitable for large-scale production of antimicrobial peptides. Inducing the expression of antimicrobial peptides by genetically engineered bacteria is an important method for obtaining antimicrobial peptides in large quantities. By constructing a suitable expression system, antimicrobial peptides can be produced on a large scale for clinical disease prevention and control.

[0004] Lactic acid bacteria are a type of Gram-positive bacteria that do not produce endotoxins, spores, are peroxidase-negative, and metabolize carbohydrates to produce lactic acid. Currently, only one protease (HtrA) has been found outside the lactic acid bacteria cell, which makes the expression of exogenous proteins relatively stable. Lactic acid bacteria are non-toxic and have probiotic effects in the body, and are recognized as safe microorganisms (Generally Recognized as Safe, GRAS) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Therefore, using lactic acid bacteria to secrete Pr AMPs, the recombinant bacteria have both the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria and the killing effect of PrAMPs on Gram-negative bacteria, which is an ideal way to use antimicrobial peptides clinically. The Nisin-Controlled gene Expression system (NICE) system is a commonly used exogenous protein expression system for lactic acid bacteria. The NICE system consists of three parts: lactic acid bacteria containing nisR and nisK genes, Nisin or its analogs as inducers, and expression vectors containing nisA or nisF promoters. Nisin is a small peptide produced by some lactococci. It can induce the transcription of nisin biosynthesis gene cluster under the control of nisA or nisF promoter through a typical two-component regulatory system. The two-component regulatory system consists of histidine kinase NisK and effector protein NisR encoded by nisK and nisR genes. NisK recognizes sub-inhibitory amounts of Nisin and then phosphorylates NisR. NisR, as an effector regulatory protein, activates the transcription of nisA or nisF promoter, allowing the target gene to be expressed. However, the low efficiency of antimicrobial peptide secretion in lactic acid bacteria expression system is still a key factor restricting the development of the industry. How to solve the inhibitory growth performance of antimicrobial peptides on lactic acid bacteria. How to further improve the secretion expression performance of lactic acid bacteria as an expression vector is a core technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Existing technical research has found that the Usp45 signal peptide sequence can successfully secrete and express a variety of exogenous proteins. By optimizing and improving the artificial peptide sequence of the wild-type Usp45 signal peptide, the efficiency of lactic acid bacteria in secreting and expressing exogenous proteins can be further improved.

[0053] Optimization method: The following optimization was performed on the induction expression conditions of lactic acid engineering bacteria NZ9000 pNZ8148-M:usp45+bsn-25 by SDS-PAGE and Western blot methods:

[0054] The overnight culture of genetically engineered bacteria NZ9000 pNZ8148-M:usp45+bsn-25 was subcultured in four 200 mL GM17 cells at a ratio of 2% and cultured at 30°C until OD 600=0.6, and add the inducer Nisin (final concentration 5 ng / mL).

The identification results are attached. Figure 4 As can be seen from the figure, the fusion protein USP secreted by the genetically engineered bacteria NZ9000 pNZ8148-M:usp45+bsn-25 in an environment of 26°C 45 +BSN-25 is relatively large in quantity.

[0055] Genetically engineered bacteria NZ9000 pNZ8148-M:usp45+bsn-25 were cultured as described above, and five 200 mL GM17 cultures were incubated at 30°C until OD 600 =0.6.

[0056] Genetically engineered bacteria NZ9000 pNZ8148-M:usp45+bsn-25 were cultured as described above. Five 200 mL GM17 culture bottles were incubated at 30°C until OD 600 =0.6. Subsequently, 2.5 ng / mL of Nisin was added to the five culture solutions and placed in an environment at 26°C for induction culture for 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h and 12 h, respectively.

[0057] Example 6 Fusion Protein USP 45 +BSN-25 activity detection

[0058] 1. Exocrine expression of fusion protein USP according to the conditions optimized in Example 5 45 +BSN-25, Purified USP 45 +BSN-25 was digested in vitro with enterokinase at 4°C for 24 h according to the instructions. Then, 40 μL of the digestion solution and fusion protein USP were taken respectively. 45 +BSN-25 was mixed with 10μL 5× protein loading buffer and placed in a 100℃ metal bath for 10 min to fully denature the protein. 25μL of the denatured protein solution was taken for SDS-PAGE analysis. The electrophoresis results are shown in the attached Figure 7 , where M: pre-stained protein marker 10-180KDa; 1, expressed and purified USP 45 +BSN-25; 2, USP after enterokinase digestion 45 +BSN-25. As can be seen from the figure, after the fusion protein was digested with enterokinase, part of the antimicrobial peptide BSN-25 had dissociated from the fusion protein; the fusion protein dissociated into USP45 (attached Figure 7 Lane 2) and antimicrobial peptide BSN-25 (small molecular weight protein, about 5 kDa).

[0059] 2. The antibacterial activity of the antimicrobial peptide BSN-25 separated from the fusion protein was determined by agar plate diffusion method. The tested microbial strain was Salmonella typhimurium CVCC541 (purchased from China Veterinary Microbiological Culture Collection Center).

[0060] The specific operation steps of the test are as follows: pick a single colony of CVCC 541 into LB medium and culture it at 37°C and 220rpm overnight. Subculture it into 5mL MH liquid medium at a ratio of 1:100 to 0.5 McFarland standard. Use a sterilized cotton swab to evenly smear the above-mentioned test microorganisms on the MH solid culture plate, place a sterile Oxford cup on the culture plate, and add equal volumes of samples, positive control: tetracycline 50μL (30μg / mL), negative control: ddH2O; NZ9000 bacterial solution 100μL; NZ9000 pN8148-M bacterial solution 100μL; synthetic antimicrobial peptide 100μL (100μg / mL); fusion protein enterokinase digestion solution 100μL; let the plate stand for 20-30min to allow the test solution to diffuse into the agar, place it at 37°C for 16-18 hours, and then record the diameter of the inhibition zone around the well. The results are attached. Figure 8 As shown in Table 1 below. From the test graph and the measured inhibition zone diameter, it can be seen that the fusion protein USP 45+BSN-25 has no antibacterial activity, but when it is digested with enterokinase, the digestion fluid shows antibacterial activity, indicating that the antimicrobial peptide BSN-25 has dissociated from the fusion protein and has antibacterial activity.
