Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a multifunctional protein MEL3 and its applications. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional antibacterial field, common antibacterial components include antibiotics, inorganic salts, etc., such as penicillin, alcohol, iodophor, and silver ions. Among them, the antibacterial mechanism of antibiotics mainly uses biochemical means to interfere with one or more metabolic functions of bacteria, specifically manifested as inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, enhancing the permeability of cell membranes, interfering with protein synthesis, and hindering nucleic acid replication and transcription. However, antibiotics have many drawbacks, such as causing adverse reactions, disrupting the normal flora balance of the body, and increasing bacterial drug resistance. The action mechanisms of silver ion-based antibacterial agents mainly include interfering with cell wall synthesis, damaging cell membranes, inhibiting protein synthesis, and interfering with nucleic acid synthesis. However, silver ion-based antibacterial agents also have defects. After being absorbed by the human body, they may accumulate in hepatocytes, thereby causing liver damage; silver-based antibacterial agents are prone to discoloration, the manufacturing process is difficult, and the use process in materials is relatively complex; their antifungal and anti-mold effects are not good, and they are prone to pigmentation on the skin surface. In comparison, bio-defense proteins are an ideal choice to replace antibiotics in the future. Bio-defense proteins are important components of the self-immunity of animals and plants, and have the effects of wide distribution, broad antibacterial spectrum, and immune enhancement. Their antibacterial mechanism is different from that of traditional antibiotics, and it is not easy to generate drug-resistant strains during use, so they are regarded as antibiotic substitutes with great potential and application prospects.

[0003] In the field of antiviral, bio-defense proteins show significant advantages in antiviral. Their action mechanisms are diverse. They can directly recognize and bind to viruses, prevent virus adsorption and invasion, interfere with virus replication, and regulate immune responses to enhance the body's antiviral immune response; they have broad-spectrum antiviral activity and can inhibit viruses of multiple virus families. And because they act on conserved virus structures or key antiviral pathways, they can still play a role even if the virus mutates; they have the characteristics of low toxicity and side effects, have little impact on host cells, can reduce interference with the normal physiological functions of the body, and have low immunogenicity, and are not easy to cause strong immune responses in the body, which is conducive to long-term action; at the same time, bio-defense proteins are not easy to develop drug resistance. Their multi-target action makes it difficult for viruses to escape through a few gene mutations, and the complex defense network formed by their synergistic action with other immune components also makes it difficult for viruses to break through, reducing the possibility of drug resistance.

[0004] Biodefense proteins are composed of more than twenty amino acids, with excellent physical and chemical properties, such as good water solubility, good stability, colorless, odorless, resistant to acids, bases and high temperatures, and have achieved results in both antibacterial and antiviral fields. Patent CN114262363B provides a kind of biodefensin KY23. According to the amino acid sequence of natural bioactive peptides, this patent modifies it to reduce its hydrophobicity, increase its chargeability, and improve its stability, so as to provide a kind of biodefensin with lower cytotoxicity and stronger bactericidal effect, and has good market prospects. Patent CN117024604B provides a recombinant protein, which has high antibacterial and antiviral activities and has good application prospects. However, the biodefense proteins of the above inventions only have antibacterial activities against individual strains, and the antibacterial spectrum is relatively narrow.

[0005] Therefore, it is the top priority of current research to provide a multi-functional protein MEL3 or its homologous protein that can have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and can achieve anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a multi-functional protein MEL3 and its application. The amino acid sequence of the multi-functional protein MEL3 or its homologous protein provided by the present invention has the following general formula:

The multi-functional protein MEL3 provided by the present invention has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and can achieve anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects at the same time, providing a new idea for the preparation of anti-pathogenic microorganisms or anti-inflammatory products.

[0008] The meanings of amino acid letters in the present invention are as follows:

[0009] A represents alanine; C represents cysteine; D represents aspartic acid; E represents glutamic acid; F represents phenylalanine; G represents glycine; H represents histidine; I represents isoleucine; K represents lysine; L represents leucine; M represents methionine; N represents asparagine; P represents proline; Q represents glutamine; R represents arginine; S represents serine; T represents threonine; V represents valine; W represents tryptophan; Y represents tyrosine.

[0010] In the present invention, the "codon degeneracy" refers to the phenomenon that the same amino acid has two or more codons. In particular, the degeneracy of cytosine and uracil or guanine and adenine at the third position of the codon is often equivalent.

[0011] In the present invention, an "expression vector" refers to a vector that can express a corresponding protein, which is constructed by inserting a nucleic acid molecule of the protein to be expressed into a vector backbone. Generally speaking, the vector backbone is a plasmid, or it can be other forms of vector backbones that can play the same role. The "expression vector" can be used to transfect cells and express proteins through the cells.

[0012] In the present invention, a "genetically engineered cell" refers to a cell that has been modified by genetic engineering means, and the genetic engineering means can be plasmid transformation or cell fusion, etc.

[0013] In the present invention, "Gram-negative bacteria" and "Gram-positive bacteria" refer to being stained with crystal violet solution plus iodine solution, then decolorized with alcohol, and then stained with dilute fuchsin solution. After such treatment, the bacteria stained purple are Gram-positive bacteria, and those stained red are Gram-negative bacteria.

Using the total gene synthesis technology, a gene fragment was synthesized for expressing the nucleic acid molecule of the pleiotropic protein MEL3, and the synthesized gene fragment was obtained. The synthesized gene fragment was double-digested with NcoI enzyme and XhoI enzyme respectively and then ligated with the pET-28a vector. The synthesized gene fragment SEQ ID NO.13 was inserted between the NcoI restriction site and the XhoI restriction site of the pET-28a vector to obtain the vector pET-28a-MEL3.

[0106] The expression vector pET-28a-MEL3 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)Plys by heat shock method, and positive clones were screened. The obtained recombinant Escherichia coli was named BL21(DE3)Plys-MEL3.

[0164] For yeasts and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the MICs of the pleiotropic proteins MEL1 - MEL20 for Candida albicans and Candida krusei are in the range of 16 - 128 μg / ml, showing good antibacterial ability.

[0165] It can be seen that for all tested strains, the pleiotropic proteins MEL1 - MEL20 have stronger antibacterial effects compared to the control antibiotics. Among them, MEL3 shows the strongest antibacterial activity against Gram - positive bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

[0171] 2. Experimental procedures for screening anti-HPV16 and anti-HPV18 activities

[0172] On the first day, 293FT cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 4×10 4 cells per well and cultured overnight in a 5% CO2, 37°C cell incubator.

[0173] On the second day, the virus, test samples, and control compounds were diluted separately using serum-free medium. 50 μL of the diluted MEL3 and 50 μL of 100 virus tissue culture infective dose 50 (TCID 50 ) HPV16 VLP or HPV18 were added to the cell wells respectively, and 50 μL of the control compound and 50 μL of 100 TCID 50 HPV16 VLP or HPV18 were added to the cell wells respectively. At the same time, cell controls (cells, without treatment with test samples, control compounds, and virus infection) and virus controls (cells infected with virus, without treatment with test samples and control compounds) were set up for the antiviral experiment (see details in Figure 1 ).

[0174] The highest detection point concentration of the test sample MEL3 was 100 μg / mL, and it was serially diluted to 8 concentration points (100 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 16 μg / mL, 8 μg / mL, 4 μg / mL, 2 μg / mL, 1 μg / mL, 0.5 μg / mL) for detection in duplicate wells; for the control compound: GSI-IX was serially diluted 5-fold to 8 concentration points for detection in duplicate wells, with the starting point final concentration of 10,000 nM. The cells added with virus, test samples, and control compounds were cultured in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 3 days. The antiviral activity of the test sample was expressed as the inhibition rate (%) of the cytopathic effect caused by the virus at different concentrations.

[0175] 3. Experimental procedures for cytotoxicity assay

[0176] On the first day, 293FT cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 4×10 4 cells per well and cultured overnight in a 5% CO2, 37°C cell incubator.

[0177] On the second day, the test samples and the control compound were diluted with serum-free medium. 50 μL of the diluted test samples and the control compound and 50 μL of the medium were added to the cell wells without virus infection (see Figure 2 ). At the same time, cell controls (cells, without treatment with test samples, control compounds and virus infection) and medium controls (without cells, without treatment with test samples, control compounds and virus infection) were set up for cytotoxicity experiments.

[0178] The highest detection point concentration of the test sample MEL3 was 100 μg / mL, and it was serially diluted to 8 concentration points (100 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 16 μg / mL, 8 μg / mL, 4 μg / mL, 2 μg / mL, 1 μg / mL, 0.5 μg / mL) for detection in duplicate; for the control compound: GSI-IX was serially diluted 5-fold to 8 concentration points for detection in duplicate, and the starting and final concentrations were 10,000 nM. The cells added with the test samples and the control compound were cultured in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 3 days. The cytotoxicity of the test samples was expressed as the inhibition rate (%) of 293FT cell activity at different concentrations of the samples.
