摘要: 非洲猪瘟病毒(African swine fever virus, ASFV)pD205R蛋白参与病毒基因的转录,属于ASFV RNA聚合酶,且与真核生物RNA聚合酶II RPB5亚基相似,为深入了解pD205R结构,功能及病毒与宿主之间的作用机制。利用DNAStar、MEGA7.0对GenBank中公布的不同毒株的ASFVD205R基因序列进行分析,利用ExPASy、GOR4、AlphaFold软件对该蛋白的理化性质及结构预测进行分析,并对其原核表达和制备抗pD205R蛋白多克隆抗体。结果显示:在不同基因型间D205R基因高度保守;利用ExPASy在线软件预测pD205R蛋白理化性质其分子式为C1088H1712N278O295S8,属亲水性蛋白,稳定性差;二级结构及三级结构预测显示,α螺旋是其主要结构形式,占比为35.12%;同时以ASFV-CN/SC/2019毒株基因组为模板,构建原核表达质粒pET-28a-D205R并转入Rosetta (DE3)感受态细胞,经IPTG诱导重组蛋白成功表达,大小为23.3 ku。获得的蛋白经镍柱亲和层析纯化,Western blot鉴定可与ASFV阳性血清发生特异性反应。免疫新西兰大白兔制备的多克隆抗体效价达到1∶51 200,Western blot和IFA结果显示制备的多克隆抗体够特异性的识别ASFV感染的猪肺泡巨噬细胞中表达的天然pD205R蛋白,为进一步研究D205R基因的功能及其在宿主与病毒互作中的作用奠定了基础。

Abstract: African swine fever virus (ASFV) pD205R protein is involved in virus gene transcription, which belongs to ASFV RNA polymerase, similar with RPB5 of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. In this study, in order to further understand the structure, function of pD205R and interaction mechanism between virus and host, the sequence of D205R gene from different ASFV strains deposed in GenBank were analyzed by using DNAStar and Mega7.0 software. Physicochemical Properties and Structure of Protein were predicted by using ExPASy, GOR4 and AlphaFold software, and its prokaryotic expression and preparation of anti-pD205R protein polyclonal antibody were performed. Furthermore, the D205R gene was amplified and cloned into pET-28a vector, named as pET-28a-D205R. The results showed that the D205R gene was highly conserved among different genotypes of ASFV isolates. The physicochemical properties analysis showed that pD205R protein was hydrophilic with poor stability, its molecular formula was predicted as C1088H1712N278O295S8. The secondary structure and tertiary structure indicated that α helix was the main structural form, proportion for 35.12%. Furthermore, the pET-28a-D205R recombinant plasmids were constructed successfully using ASFV CN/SC/2019 strain genome as template and transformed into E. coli Rosetta (DE3) competent cells, the recombinant proteins were successfully induced and expressed by IPTG, with the size of 23.3 ku. Then the obtained protein was purified by nickel column affinity chromatography, which could react specifically with ASFV positive serum by Western blot identification. The titer of polyclonal antibody prepared by immunizing New Zealand white rabbits could reach to 1:51 200, and could specially recognize the native pD205R protein expressed in ASFV-infected porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) by Western blot and IFA detection. It laid a foundation for further study the function of D205R gene and its role in host-pathogen interaction.
