摘要:

蛋白质翻译后O-糖基化修饰普遍存在于真核生物、细菌和古细菌,多肽:N-乙酰氨基半乳糖转移酶2(polypeptide:N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2,ppGalNAc-T2)是O-糖基化反应的限速酶。基因组数据分析揭示艾美耳球虫具有O-糖基化反应途径。为研究柔嫩艾美耳球虫(Eimeria tenella)蛋白质翻译后糖基化修饰及其关键酶的药靶效用,对EtppGalNAc-T2基因进行了克隆,并检测其在E.tenella不同发育阶段的表达动态。根据EuPathDB中所预测EtppGalNAc-T2基因序列设计引物,以RT-PCR方法扩增获得EtppGalNAc-T2的ORF,插入酶切位点后连接到原核表达载体pGEX-6p-1进行诱导表达。提取E.tenella广东株未孢子化卵囊、孢子化7 h卵囊、孢子化卵囊、子孢子和第二代裂殖子5个发育阶段的总RNA,以qRT-PCR法检测EtppGalNAc-T2转录水平的动态变化。结果表明,EtppGalNAc-T2的全长ORF为1 983 bp,编码660个氨基酸,在E.coli Transetta (DE3)可溶性表达。qRT-PCR结果显示,EtppGalNAc-T2转录水平随发育阶段不同而有显著差异,子孢子阶段表达水平最高、而在孢子化卵囊则几近不能检出。结果为进一步研究EtppGalNAc-T2的功能提供了试验基础。

Abstract:

O-linked glycosylation is a form of protein posttranslational modifications that occurs in the Golgi apparatus of eukaryotes, and archaea as well as bacteria. Polypeptide:N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (ppGalNAc-T2, EC 2.4.1.41) is the first key enzyme in the pathway of O-glycan biosynthesis. Whole genome sequencing of Eimeria spp has ever revealed that these protozoa possess the pathways for O-glycan synthesis and O-linked glycosylation of proteins. For exploring the profiles of glycosylation in the global proteome of Eimeria tenella during developmental cycle, and the potential druggable target of EtppGalNAc-T2, we have cloned and recombinantly expressed the EtppGalNAc-T2 gene according to its predicted coding sequence deposited in EuPathDB, and evaluated its transcriptional profiling in different stages of life cycle using qRT-PCR method. The results showed that the ORF of EtppGalNAc-T2 is 1 983 bp in full length, and can be expressed in E. coli Transetta (DE3) with recombinant vector EtppGalNAc-T2-pGEX-6p-1. qRT-PCR results showed that the transcriptions of EtppGalNAc-T2 are significantly varied among different developmental stages, that is, the highest in E. tenella sporozoite, and nearly no-detectable transcription in sporulated occyst. Briefly, these results confirmed O-glycan synthesis process, and may play roles in the regulation of developmental conversion in E. tenella.
