摘要:

旨在以猪链球菌(Streptococcus suis, S. suis)3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶(HMGR)为药靶,给S. suis病防治研制新型抗菌药提供理论和试验基础。原核表达了S. suis HMGR,用Ni-NTA树脂对重组蛋白质进行了纯化,并用分光光度法测定了其酶活力。此外,运用CLUSTALW对同源HMGR氨基酸序列进行多序列比对。通过SWISS-MODEL对S. suis HMGR三维结构进行同源建模,并用PROCHECK评价模型的质量。酶活力测定结果显示,催化HMG-CoA还原为甲羟戊酸的反应中,S. suis HMGR最佳反应温度和pH分别为37 ℃和5.0,其VmaxKm为846 U•mg-1和0.213 mmol•L-1。经分析显示,肺炎链球菌HMGR晶体结构(PDB ID:3QAE_A)是构建S. suis HMGR三维结构的最佳模板。构建的三维结构模型经质量评估证实为可靠的理论模型,将有助于虚拟筛选出对抗S. suis感染的新型抗生素,酶活力的测定为用试验手段验证S. suis HMGR抑制剂的有效性提供了可行性的方法。

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to take the Streptococcus suis (S. suis) 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) as a drug target, and provide theoretical and experimental basis for the development of novel antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of S. suis infection. In this experiment, S. suis HMGR was prokaryotically expressed and purified by Ni-NTA agrose. Its enzyme activity was determined by spectrophotometric method. In addition, a multiple sequence alignment of HMGR was performed by CLUSTALW to identify conserved domains. Homology modeling of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of S. suis HMGR was performed by SWISS-MODEL. The quality of the model was evaluated by PROCHECK. The result of enzyme activity analyses showed that optimal reaction conditions of S. suis HMGR was pH 5.0 and 37 ℃, the Vmax and Km value was 846 U•mg-1 and 0.213 mmol•L-1 respectively. The analysis of SWISS-MODEL showed that crystal structure of Streptococcus pneumonia HMGR was the appropriate template for homology modeling of S. suis HMGR. The theoretic model of 3D structure of S. suis HMGR was proven to be reliable through quality assessment. The S. suis HMGR model will contribute to virtual screening of novel antibacterial agents against S. suis infection. Enzyme activity assay provides a feasible method for validation of effective inhibitors against S. suis HMGR in biochemical experiment.
