Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1, a coding gene and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small polypeptides encoded by host genes with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. They are important components of the nonspecific immunity of nearly all organisms. AMPs are diverse and can be categorized according to their biological activity, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antitumor activities. AMPs are generally positively charged and amphipathic, interacting with hydrophobic surfaces and membranes, disrupting membrane integrity and inhibiting the activity of intracellular nucleic acids, proteins, and other substances. They exert antimicrobial effects at targets within the cell wall, cell membrane, and within cells, as well as on viruses. Due to their unique bactericidal mechanisms, AMPs hold broad application prospects. In livestock and poultry farming, they can be used as environmentally friendly feed additives to increase animal weight, enhance the number of beneficial intestinal bacteria, increase immunoglobulin levels, and reduce the concentration of inflammatory factors. They play a significant role in livestock performance, intestinal flora, immunity, and disease prevention, making them a promising alternative to antibiotics in feed preparation and feed additive applications.

[0003] Aquiluscidin, a defensin derived from rattlesnakes, is an antimicrobial peptide composed of 34 amino acid residues with antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Currently, aquiluscidin is obtained solely through chemical synthesis. While chemical synthesis of antimicrobial peptides offers a short production cycle, minimal engineering effort, and the ability to combine amino acid residues at will, it is subject to racemization and is expensive to produce. Genetic engineering techniques, primarily through prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression pathways, offer simplicity, ease of isolation and purification, and low production costs, making it a promising candidate for large-scale, industrialized production and a research hotspot in recent years. Therefore, the use of bioengineering techniques to obtain a novel antimicrobial peptide, Aquiluscidin-1, with excellent thermal and acid-base stability and strong antimicrobial activity is of great significance.

[0048] Experimental Example 3 Preparation of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1

[0049] 3.1 The recombinant strain BL21(DE3) / SUMO-Aquiluscidin-1 obtained in Example 2 was inoculated into LB (containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin) culture medium at an inoculum size of 2.0% and activated by shaking at 37°C and 200 rpm / min for 12-16 h.

[0050] 3.2 The activated bacterial solution in 3.1 was inoculated into fresh LB (containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin) culture medium at a 2.0% inoculum volume, and cultured in a shaking incubator at 37°C and 200 rpm / min for about 3-4 h (OD 600nm After the culture temperature reaches about 0.7, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.6 mM for induction, and the culture was continued in a shaking incubator at 16° C. and 150 rpm / min for about 20 h to induce the production of recombinant protein.

[0051] 3.3 Collect the cells by centrifugation at 8000 rpm / min for 10 min at 4°C. Resuspend the cells in an appropriate amount of pH 7.0 citric acid-phosphate buffer and disrupt them by ultrasonication in a cold water bath. Centrifuge the concentrated intracellular crude enzyme solution at 13000 rpm / min for 15 min. Remove the supernatant and affinity purify the target protein using Nickel-NTA Agarose and 0-500 mM imidazole.

[0052] The SDS-PAGE results of the purified protein are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, M is a protein marker and SA-1 is a recombinant fusion antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1. The results showed that the recombinant fusion antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 was expressed and purified, and the product was a single band.

[0053] Experimental Example 4 Investigation of the antibacterial activity of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1

[0054] The antibacterial activity of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 was determined using the inhibition zone method. The specific method is as follows: (1) Escherichia coli K88, Escherichia coli K99, Salmonella choleraesuis, Salmonella enteritidis gallinarum and Staphylococcus aureus were inoculated into 20 mL of liquid culture medium and cultured overnight at 37°C and 200 rpm / min in a shaking incubator; (2) 200 μL of the overnight cultured bacteria were inoculated into 20 mL of sterile culture medium and cultured at 37°C and 200 rpm / min for 0.5-1 h to a value of OD 600 nm At around 0.1, the bacterial cell concentration reaches about 1×10 8 CFU / mL, which is the logarithmic growth phase or the early logarithmic growth phase; (3) Dip a small amount of bacterial liquid with a sterile cotton swab and spread it on LB solid culture medium; (4) Use tweezers to pick up a sterilized Oxford cup and place it evenly on the plate with the indicator bacteria, and draw 50 μL of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 sample into the Oxford cup, and use sterile water as a control; (5) After loading the sample, place the plate horizontally in a 37°C incubator and culture for 12 hours to observe whether there is an inhibition zone formed.

[0055] The results showed that the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 had an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella ( Figure 2 ), while the sterile water in the control group had no inhibition zone, and the inhibition zone sizes of 40 μg / mL recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 against Escherichia coli K88, Escherichia coli K99, Salmonella choleraesuis, Salmonella enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus reached 11.00 mm, 13.00 mm, 14.00 mm, 12.00 mm and 16.00 mm, respectively.

[0056] Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1: The specific method for determining MIC is the microdilution method: the indicator bacteria are cultured in LB liquid medium to the logarithmic growth phase, and each bacterial cell is collected and diluted to a bacterial cell concentration of 1×10 8 CFU / mL is reserved for future use. This step involves preparing a bacterial suspension. In the first column of a 96-well plate, the purified antimicrobial peptide aquiluscidin-1 solution is mixed with LB liquid culture medium in equal amounts to a starting concentration of 200 μg / mL. Serial two-fold dilutions are then performed in subsequent columns to form a concentration gradient. Equal amounts of the diluted bacterial suspension are added to each sample in the 96-well plate concentration gradient and incubated in a 37°C incubator for 16 hours. After incubation, the turbidity of each well is visually inspected. The minimum concentration that results in clear wells is the MIC of the antimicrobial peptide aquiluscidin-1 against each bacterium. The results, as shown in Table 1, show that the recombinant antimicrobial peptide aquiluscidin-1 exhibits strong inhibitory activity against all three bacteria. The inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria is even stronger, with an MIC of 6.75 μg / mL against Staphylococcus aureus.

[0057] Table 1 Minimum inhibitory concentration of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 against different bacteria

[0058] Bacterial species MIC (μg / mL) Escherichia coli K88 13.5 Escherichia coli K99 13.5 Salmonella choleraesuis 13.5 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis 13.5 Staphylococcus aureus 6.75

[0059] Example 4: Stability of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 at different pH values

[0060] The recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 samples were placed in different buffer solutions with pH values of 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 for 2 hours. The samples treated with different pH values were used as test samples, and the untreated samples were used as controls to determine the bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus (see Figure 3The specific method for determining the bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus is as follows: Staphylococcus aureus was cultured to the logarithmic growth phase, and the cells were collected by centrifugation at 10000 rpm / min for 3 minutes. The cells were resuspended in an equal amount of 0.1M PBS buffer, centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed. The above steps were repeated 3 times, and the cells were finally diluted with PBS buffer to a concentration of 1×10 8 CFU / mL bacterial suspension was prepared for later use; the antimicrobial peptide samples treated with different pH values were mixed with the diluted Staphylococcus aureus suspension and lysed at 37°C for 1 hour. The viable bacteria in the lysed bacterial solution were counted using the dilution plate method; the untreated sample was used as the control, and the bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus after treatment with different pH values for 2 hours was calculated; bactericidal rate (%) = number of viable bacteria in the treatment group / total number of colonies in the control group * 100%.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown in the results, the bactericidal rate of recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 against Staphylococcus aureus had almost no significant change after treatment with different pH values. After 2 hours of treatment at each pH value, the bactericidal rate against Staphylococcus aureus could still reach more than 88.7%, indicating that the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 has good acid-base tolerance.

[0062] Example 5 Investigation of the thermal stability of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1

[0063] The recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 samples were heated at 25°C, 37°C, 50°C, 70°C, 90°C and 95°C for 30 min, and the heat-treated samples were used as test samples, while the unheat-treated samples were used as controls to determine the bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus (see Figure 4 ).

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown in the results, the bactericidal rate of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 against Staphylococcus aureus had almost no significant change after treatment at different temperatures. After treatment at a high temperature of 95°C for 30 minutes, the bactericidal rate against Staphylococcus aureus still remained at 88.37%, indicating that the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 has good thermal stability and can withstand the high temperature treatment process of industrial processing.

[0065] Example 6 Investigation of the Endogenous Protease Stability of Recombinant Antimicrobial Peptide Aquiluscidin-1

[0066] The recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 samples were placed in a buffer solution containing 737.5 U / mL porcine pepsin, 760.0 U / mL trypsin, and 95.6 U / mL chymotrypsin for 4 hours. The samples treated with proteases were used as test samples, and the untreated samples were used as controls to determine the bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus (see Figure 5 ).

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown in the data, after being treated with 737.5 U / mL of porcine pepsin, 760.0 U / mL of trypsin and 95.6 U / mL of chymotrypsin for 4 hours, the bactericidal rate of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1 against Staphylococcus aureus was still maintained above 88.8%, indicating that endogenous proteases in the porcine gastrointestinal tract have no effect on the bactericidal rate of the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Aquiluscidin-1.
