Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of marine molecular biology, and particularly relates to a Litopenaeus vannamei antibacterial and antiviral polypeptide Litomusin 81-100 and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the 1950s, shrimp culture has begun to rise, and in the 1980s, the shrimp culture industry has entered a rapid development stage. Asia is not only the birthplace of shrimp culture, but also the main production area, and the culture yield accounts for more than 85% of the total yield in the world. The culture yield of shrimp in China has ranked first in the world after decades of continuous development. Although the shrimp industry is booming and presents a prosperous scene, there are still many problems that cannot be ignored in the culture process, among which the disease problem is particularly challenging. Biological diseases are usually caused by organisms around the host, and these organisms mainly refer to pathogenic organisms, including bacteria, viruses and parasites.
[0003] Antibacterial peptides are a class of small molecule polypeptides naturally existing in organisms, which are well-known for their few enzyme action sites and good thermal stability, and have significant drug properties. These polypeptides have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, including antiviral effects. Compared with traditional antibiotics, their antimicrobial mechanism is not easy to cause microbial drug resistance, and they are not easy to accumulate in organisms, and are a new type of efficient and environmentally friendly antimicrobial drug. At present, a variety of antibacterial peptides derived from shrimps have been reported. For example, ALF is identified in many crustaceans and has strong antibacterial activity, which can significantly inhibit the transcription and replication of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Penaeidin5 in Chinese white shrimp has antibacterial activity, and inhibition of its expression will lead to increased susceptibility of shrimps to WSSV infection. In addition, serum proteins, as the main protein components of hemolymph, have the effect of resisting bacterial and fungal invasion, and can inhibit the proliferation of WSSV in shrimps.
[0004] The research and development of new antibacterial peptides of Litopenaeus vannamei provide a new idea and method for the prevention and treatment of aquatic culture diseases and the screening of antibacterial and antiviral drugs. SUMMARY
