Summary of the invention
For the high drug-resistance of 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 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, not only high separation and purification but also the highly effective and safe be convenient to of expression amount.Animal experiment proves to produce higher humoral immunoresponse(HI) and good immanoprotection action by effective stimulus body.
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; There is the DNA sequence dna of SEQ ID NO:1 and the aminoacid sequence of SEQ IDNO:2.
Described connection peptides is Linker, and this connection peptides is-(Linker) n-, and wherein Linker is GGGGS or GGSGG or YAPVDV, and n is 1-4, and preferably Linker is GGGGS, and n is 1.
Described Hla is the non-toxic mutant of H35L, and its DNA sequence dna is as shown in SEQ ID NO:3, and its aminoacid sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO:4
Described I2 is that streptococcus aureus iron surface determines protein B film outskirt the second structural domain, i.e. the polypeptide of 484-559 amino acids composition, and its DNA sequence dna is as shown in SEQ ID NO:5, and aminoacid sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO:6.
Preparation method's albumen of above-mentioned recombination fusion protein, comprises the following steps:
1) full gene synthetic (synthetic by Shanghai JaRa Bioisystech Co., Ltd) is to obtain the DNA sequence dna of coding HI2 and to be cloned into expression vector;
2) then expressed carrier is converted into Host Strains, the Host Strains after Induction Transformation is expressed 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 built in 1987 by Smith and Johnson, its principal feature is on carrier, to be connected to the glutathione-S-transferase that a molecular weight is 26kDa (GST), in expressed fusion rotein, just contain a GST label, this label is the mark of protein purification.Compared with other fusion vectors, pGEX serial carrier has purification condition gentleness, step simply, does not need adding of denaturing agent, thereby makes the albumen after purifying can keep to greatest extent its space conformation and immunogenicity.
The application of recombinant protein as above in the subunit vaccine of preparing methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus resistance.
Above-mentioned recombinant protein is in the application of preparing in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus detection kit.
In view of Hla has extremely strong toxicity, the present invention suddenlys change at its avtive spot H35, alternative with Leu, i.e. Hla (H35L).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 to 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.HI2 recombinant protein can be directly and adjuvant (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 in conjunction with, be applicable to injecting immune inoculation.
We determine according to the newest fruits of staphylococcus aureus gene group and proteomics the vaccine building based on alpha hemolysin (Hla) and iron surface decision albumen (IsdB).
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;
2), while selecting pGEX carrier series, HI2 recombinant protein is with fusion protein form expression; On expression vector, be connected to the glutathione-S-transferase that a molecular weight is 26kDa (GST), in expressed fusion rotein, just contain a GST label, this label just becomes the mark of protein purification, make purification condition gentleness, step simply, not need adding of denaturing agent, thereby the albumen after purifying can keep its space conformation and immunogenicity to greatest extent; Purifying HI2 recombinant protein purity is out greater than 95%;
3) HI2 recombinant protein all can produce specific antibody by induced animal.
Utilize subunit vaccine prepared by HI2 recombinant protein 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 confirm through experimentation on animals, 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 for development and the application of control vaccine and diagnostic kit have 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.
