Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of antibacterial peptides, and particularly relates to an antibacterial peptide SMGAP from Scophthalmus maximus, a fusion type antibacterial peptide and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Scophthalmus maximus, also known as turbot, is a kind of fish of Scophthalmidae, and plays an important role in the development of fishery in China as an important marine aquaculture fish. However, frequent fish diseases in recent years have become a major obstacle to its development. In the field of disease prevention and treatment technology of aquaculture, antibiotics have been widely used as a drug with significant effect on pathogenic bacteria. However, the large-scale abuse of antibiotics has also caused new difficulties for aquaculture. In view of the slow development process of new vaccines and the need to continuously research new vaccine targets, the antibacterial peptide naturally existing in fish body has become a research hotspot as a bactericidal substance instead of antibiotics.

[0003] As a new antibacterial substance, the antibacterial peptide naturally exists in organisms, and is one of the important components of the non-specific immune defense system in the animal body, and plays an important role in defending against pathogenic bacteria. It has the advantages of small molecular weight, wide antibacterial spectrum, no toxicity or cell damage to the host, and has good prospects for medical use. In 1972, Swedish scientist Boman et al. first discovered antibacterial peptides in fruit flies, and identified their immune bactericidal function. Since then, more than a thousand antibacterial peptides have been discovered in various species.

[0004] Lipids are important substances for metabolism of organisms, and the lipid droplet, which is the storage site of lipids, is not only a lipid storage organelle, but also an important hub connecting cell metabolism and innate immunity, and widely participates in host anti-infection and inflammatory response. It actively participates in the innate immune response to support the antibacterial defense of cells, mediates the interaction between pathogens and hosts, and also changes the metabolism of the host during infection. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the role of lipid droplets in pathogen-host competition. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an antibacterial peptide SMGAP from Scophthalmus maximus, a fusion type antibacterial peptide and application thereof.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the first aspect of the present application provides an antibacterial peptide SMGAP from Scophthalmus maximus, and the main feature is that the amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1. The present application is a Scophthalmus antibacterial peptide SMGAP screened from the proteome of Scophthalmus maximus. The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the antibacterial peptide SMGAP is shown as SEQ ID NO: 3.

[0007] The second aspect of the present application provides a scophthalmus maximus-derived fusion antibacterial peptide, which is mainly characterized by an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. Its nucleotide sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4.

[0008] The third aspect of the present application provides an application of the scophthalmus maximus-derived antibacterial peptide SMGAP or the fusion antibacterial peptide in preparing an antibacterial product, which is mainly characterized in that the antibacterial peptide SMGAP or the fusion antibacterial peptide is an active ingredient in the antibacterial product.

[0009] Preferably, the antibacterial product is an antibacterial product for inhibiting Edwardsiella tarda, Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli.

[0010] Preferably, the antibacterial product is an antibacterial product for aquatic products.

[0011] Preferably, the antibacterial product is a feed additive, a veterinary drug or a preservative.

[0012] The fourth aspect of the present application further provides a recombinant expression vector PCDH, wherein a nucleic acid fragment encoding a fusion antibacterial peptide gene is inserted into the recombinant expression vector.

[0013] The scophthalmus maximus-derived antibacterial peptide SMGAP obtained by the present application has a significant effect of inhibiting the growth of Edwardsiella tarda EIB202, Salmonella typhimurium SL1344 and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 EDL933, and can be applied to the aquaculture industry to prepare antibacterial products, such as feed additives, veterinary drugs, preservatives, medical products, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0022] The antibacterial peptide SMGAP is located on the lipid droplet, and the protein sequence alignment analysis shows that the antibacterial peptide is coincident with the N-terminal of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase in the body of Scophthalmus maximus, and thus is a GAPDH-related antibacterial peptide.
