Summary of the invention
High drug-resistance for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, the invention provides the restructuring fusion recombinant protein that a kind of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus alpha hemolysin non-toxic mutant and iron surface determine the protein B active fragments, it can be applicable to prepare the subunit vaccine of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus resistance infection and relevant detection kit.The present invention adopts the recombinant expressed described fusion rotein of genetic engineering technique, and not only the expression amount height is convenient to separation and purification but also highly effective and safe.But animal experiment proof effective stimulus body produces higher humoral immunoresponse(HI) and good immanoprotection action.
Recombination fusion protein determines that by streptococcus aureus alpha hemolysin (Hla) and iron surface protein B (IsdB) fragment (I2) forms, and wherein, Hla and I2 merge by connection peptides.Described recombination fusion protein has the constructional feature of Hla-Linker-I2, is called for short HI2; Have the dna sequence dna of SEQ ID NO:1 and the aminoacid sequence of SEQ IDNO:2.
Described connection peptides is Linker, this connection peptides is-and (Linker) n-, wherein Linker is GGGGS or GGSGG or YAPVDV, and n is 1-4, and preferred Linker is GGGGS, and n is 1.
Described Hla is the non-toxic mutant of H35L, and its dna sequence dna is shown in SEQ ID NO:3, and its aminoacid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:4
Described I2 is that the streptococcus aureus iron surface determines protein B film outskirt the second structural domain, i.e. the polypeptide that forms of 484-559 amino acids, and its dna sequence dna is shown in SEQ ID NO:5, and aminoacid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:6.
Preparation method's albumen of above-mentioned recombination fusion protein may further comprise the steps:
1) full gene synthesizes (synthetic by Shanghai JaRa Bioisystech Co., Ltd) with the dna sequence dna of acquisition coding HI2 and is cloned into expression vector;
2) then expressed carrier is converted into Host Strains, the Host Strains behind the Induction Transformation is expressed the HI2 recombinant protein.
Described expression vector is pGex serial carrier, pET serial carrier, is preferably pGex-6P-2.
Express the Host Strains of above-mentioned expression vector.Described Host Strains is E.colistrain XL1 blue, BL21 series or HMS174 series, is preferably E.colistrain XL1 blue.
The present invention preferably adopts pGEX-6p-2 vector construction recombinant expression vector, express recombinant protein HI2, pGEX is the carrier of the expressed fusion protein that made up in 1987 by Smith and Johnson, its principal feature is the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) that to be connected to a molecular weight on the carrier be 26kDa, just contain a GST label in the expressed fusion rotein, this label is the mark of protein purification.Compare with other fusion vectors, the pGEX serial carrier has the adding that purification condition gentleness, step simply, do not need denaturing agent, thereby makes the albumen behind the purifying can keep to greatest extent its space conformation and immunogenicity.
The application of aforesaid recombinant protein in the subunit vaccine of preparation methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus resistance.
The application of above-mentioned recombinant protein in preparation methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus detection kit.
In view of Hla has extremely strong toxicity, the present invention suddenlys change at its avtive spot H35, substitutes with Leu, i.e. Hla (H35L).The IsdB molecule is larger, and we select has good immunogenic second structural domain IsdB (338-466) and Hla (H35L) fusion, is convenient to expression and purification in the hope of reaching, and has better immunogenic effect.
The present invention also provides a kind of Host Strains, and its importing has the recombinant expression vector of above-mentioned structure.
The present invention adopts this recombination fusion protein of genetic engineering technique clonal expression, and expression amount is high, is convenient to separation and purification, and highly effective and safe.The HI2 recombinant protein can be directly and adjuvant (such as aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, aluminum phosphate adjuvant, Stearinsaeure aluminium adjuvant, MF59, complete Freund's adjuvant, complete Freund's adjuvant, mycobacterium bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine adjuvant etc.) be used, be applicable to the injecting immune inoculation.
We determine to make up the vaccine based on alpha hemolysin (Hla) and iron surface decision albumen (IsdB) according to the newest fruits of staphylococcus aureus gene group and proteomics.
The expression method of genetically engineered recombinant protein of the present invention has the following advantages:
1) HI2 expression of recombinant proteins plasmid abduction delivering in prokaryotic expression system-intestinal bacteria;
When 2) selecting pGEX carrier series, the HI2 recombinant protein is with fusion protein form expression; The glutathione-S-transferase (GST) that to be connected to a molecular weight on the expression vector be 26kDa, just contain a GST label in the expressed fusion rotein, this label just becomes the mark of protein purification, so that the adding that purification condition is gentle, step simply, does not need denaturing agent, thereby the albumen behind the purifying can keep its space conformation and immunogenicity to greatest extent; Purifying HI2 recombinant protein purity out is greater than 95%;
3) the HI2 recombinant protein all can produce specific antibody by induced animal.
Utilize the subunit vaccine of HI2 recombinant protein preparation of the present invention to carry out immunization by subcutaneous (muscle) injecting pathway, excitating organism produces high titre IgG antibody and cellullar immunologic response.And through the experimentation on animals confirmation, described genetically engineered recombinant multivalent vaccine has the immune protective effect that good anti-MRSA infects.For further combined vaccine and the fusion bacterin research of many subunits lay the first stone, simultaneously development and the application for control vaccine and diagnostic kit has important effect.
In order to make the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, is not intended to limit the present invention.
