Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of animal vaccines and veterinary biological products, and particularly relates to a subunit HN protein of a bovine parainfluenza virus and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) is a highly contagious viral disease. It can cause fever, coughing, runny nose, decreased spirit and appetite in cattle, leading to decreased productivity. It is often mixed with bovine respiratory syncytial infection, bovine viral diarrhea, bovine infectious rhinotracheitis, bovine Pasteurella multocida, etc., causing calf respiratory syndrome. The disease is prevalent worldwide, bringing huge economic burdens and production losses to the cattle industry, seriously affecting the development of the cattle industry.
[0003] Currently, there is no effective treatment for the disease, and prevention and control mainly rely on vaccines. There is no vaccine available in China, but there are traditional inactivated and live attenuated vaccines for bovine parainfluenza abroad, but there are certain limitations in terms of immune effect and safety. In order to control the infection of bovine parainfluenza virus, it is necessary to develop new safe and effective vaccines.
[0004] BPIV3 virus belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family. The virus particles are polymorphic, ranging from spherical to filamentous structures, with a diameter of 150-300nm. The BPIV3 genome encodes 6 main structural proteins: nucleocapsid protein (NP), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), fusion protein (F), hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein (HN), and large polyadenylation protein (L). Among them, F protein and HN protein are the main proteins of the virus envelope, which can stimulate the body to produce neutralizing antibodies and are the first glycoproteins of subunit vaccines. HN protein subunit vaccine does not contain nucleic acid substances and will not cause persistent infection or latent infection after vaccination; the immune response generated can be distinguished from wild virus infection, which is conducive to the control and elimination of the disease. However, HN subunit vaccine also has obvious defects: the expression yield is relatively low, the production cost is high, and the application is limited.
[0005] The cost of subunit vaccines is mainly in the production of subunit proteins. The inventors have noticed that HN protein is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in virus entry and release. At the same time, HN protein is also a multifunctional protein that has neuraminidase activity, hemagglutinin activity and sialic acid binding on the cell surface. HN protein is generally 572 amino acids long and consists of three domains: N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, transmembrane domain and C-terminal extracellular domain. The C-terminal domain of the outer membrane is further divided into a globular head region and a neck region. The C-terminal extracellular domain is responsible for separating sialic acid from glycoproteins on the surface of infected cells, which is necessary for the release of viral particles from cells. At the same time, HN protein is also a sialic acid receptor on the cell surface, mediating the adsorption process of viruses and cells. Therefore, HN protein is an important virulence protein and protective antigen of bovine parainfluenza virus. As a glycosylated modified protein of the envelope, HN protein must be achieved in animal cells to ensure that the expressed protein can be glycosylated and form a complete and active HN protein.
[0006] Engineered cells are currently the most widely used expression cells in biopharmaceutical engineering. The proteins expressed in this system are closest to natural protein molecules in terms of molecular structure, physicochemical properties, post-transcriptional modification and other biological functions. They are usually cultured in suspension to achieve high density, and the culture volume can reach more than 2,000 L, so they can be produced on a large scale.
[0007] However, when using engineered cells to express HN protein, the expression yield of the C-terminal extracellular region of HN protein is very low, making it difficult to obtain HN protein with excellent immunogenicity and stability for the prevention and control of bovine parainfluenza virus. Therefore, when using engineered cells to express HN protein, structural analysis and optimization of the coding gene sequence of HN protein is a necessary process.
[0008] Chinese patent application CN202011013669.6 discloses a recombinant bovine parainfluenza antigen, which is a heterodimer formed by a truncated F protein and an HN protein, that is, a bovine antibody Fc fragment is added to the C-terminus of the F protein fragment and the HN protein fragment, so that the two protein fragments can form a more stable heterodimer when expressed simultaneously in a cell. However, a small fragment of the HN protein is used, and the Fc is not mutated, so a pure heterodimer cannot be obtained, and no separate HN protein is obtained. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] The strains, plasmids and reagents used in the examples of the present invention are all commercially available products.
[0028] The sources of the reagents and drugs of the present invention are listed as follows: pEE12.4 and CHO-K1 cells were stored by Zhejiang Hilong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; Cell culture medium and serum were purchased from Gibco, USA; Lipofectamine LTX, PLUS TM Reagent, CB5, and BCA protein quantification kit were purchased from ThermoFisher, USA.
[0029] Example 1: 1a: Structural analysis and optimization of the HN protein of bovine parainfluenza virus to construct the coding gene sequence of the subunit HN protein of bovine parainfluenza virus By analyzing the bovine parainfluenza virus HN protein sequence (GenBank: OM621819.1), it was found that the genome sequence 6818-8536bp encodes the bovine parainfluenza HN protein sequence. Further analysis showed that 1M-33M is the intracellular region of the HN protein, 34S-56I is the transmembrane region of the HN protein, and 57Q-572S is the extracellular region of the HN protein. Combined with the experience of expressing viral envelope protein research, the extracellular region of the HN protein expressed by CHO-K1 cells was selected as the immunogenic protein of the present invention, that is, the amino acid sequence of 57Q-572S, and the amino acid sequence is a known fragment that can be obtained through NBCI query.
[0030] However, by expressing the amino acid sequence of 57Q-572S through the CHO-K1 cell line, it was found that the expression level of the protein fragment directly expressed was very low and could not meet the needs of large-scale production. Further, through protein structure prediction and the study of the amino acid structure itself, we found that the HN protein is a homodimer, 57Q-142M is the stem region of the HN protein, and 143T-572S is the head region of the HN protein. The 57Q-142M amino acids may affect the expression of the protein in CHO-K1 cells, and this segment of the polypeptide is not the immunogenic site of the HN protein. 143T-572S is the main antigenic epitope region of the HN protein. In order to further improve the stability and yield of the HN protein, the bovine antibody constant region sequence was fused with it for expression, which increased the yield of the HN protein.
[0031] Therefore, the present invention removes the amino acids 57Q-142M and expresses the amino acid sequence 143T-572S. The three-dimensional structure model predicted by this amino acid sequence is shown in the figure Figure 1 As shown, it can be efficiently secreted and expressed in CHO-K1 cells to obtain the corresponding subunit HN protein. In order to improve the stability and yield of the HN protein, the bovine antibody constant region sequence is fused with it for expression, thereby increasing the yield of the HN protein.
[0032] Among them, on the basis of the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.3, a derivative protein is prepared by replacing, deleting or adding one or several amino acids, and the derived protein has a homology of up to 80%-100% with the amino acid sequence of the subunit HN protein in this embodiment (as shown in SEQ ID NO.3), thereby ensuring that the two have the same immunogenicity, or the antibody Fc fragment of other species is used for fusion expression, so the derived protein also falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] In order to facilitate the detection or purification of the subunit HN protein, a tag as shown in Table 1 can be connected to the amino terminus or carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.3. In this embodiment, Poly-His is taken as an example and connected to the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.4.

[0035] The portion of the HN gene sequence encoding the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.4 may be as shown in SEQ ID NO.6, or may be obtained by codon optimization of SEQ ID NO.7. The gene sequence encoding the subunit HN protein in this embodiment is codon optimized on the basis of SEQ ID NO.4 to obtain the OPTI-HN sequence, as shown in SEQ ID NO.5. The artificial synthesis of the gene sequence was entrusted to Nanjing GenScript Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0036] The sequence of HN after codon optimization (as shown in SEQ ID NO.7) was compared with the sequence of HN before codon optimization (as shown in SEQ ID NO.6). Figure 2 As shown, a total of 537 / 2037=26.4% are different.
