Polypeptide with white spot syndrome virus inhibition effect and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polypeptide with white spot syndrome virus inhibition effect, belonging to the field of biochemistry and biotechnology.
Background
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is a main pathogenic microorganism causing large-scale death of prawns, and seriously threatens the development of the prawn breeding industry. In order to prevent and control WSSV infection, researchers make hard efforts, so far, an effective prevention and control method is still lacked, at present, the prevention and control are mainly carried out by means of breeding disease-resistant prawn varieties, strengthening epidemic disease monitoring, controlling stocking density, regularly disinfecting and the like, and the prevention and control of white spot syndrome are still far in the way.
In recent years, research shows that the specific immunity phenomenon similar to that of vertebrates exists in the prawns, and people begin immunoprophylaxis research on white spot syndrome. The vaccine prepared by recombinant Vp28 and other envelope proteins can show different degrees of protective action when being taken orally or injected for immunization. The technology is a WSSV prevention and control technology with great prospect, is still in the laboratory research stage at present, is really applied to further improving the effect of the vaccine, and depends on the deep research of prawn immune mechanisms.
Another important direction for the research of WSSV prevention and treatment is the research of virus pathogenesis, wherein the invasion mechanism is the hot point of research. Invasion of the host cell is the first step in viral infection, which is inhibited or terminated if the process can be prevented.
Binding of the virus to host cell surface receptors is a fundamental prerequisite for its invasion. Invasion of enveloped viruses relies primarily on fusion of the envelope with the host cell membrane. The envelope proteins play a key role in this process, facilitating fusion by recognizing and binding to the corresponding receptors on the cell membrane. Many viruses rely on one or two proteins to enter the host cell, and as a large enveloped virus, WSSV has more than 30 envelope proteins, of which VP28 is one of the major envelope proteins. Research shows that multiple WSSV envelope protein receptors exist on prawn cell membranes, and complex interaction exists between envelope proteins and the receptors, which is shown in that one receptor can interact with multiple envelope proteins, one envelope protein can interact with multiple receptors, and the interaction can be performed between the envelope proteins, between the envelope proteins and non-envelope proteins and between the receptors.
There is increasing evidence that the WSSV envelope proteins can form various protein complexes through different combinations, the protein complexes being the main forms of the proteins performing functions, and thus it is presumed that the WSSV envelope proteins mediate viral invasion by forming complexes.
In view of the key role of the envelope protein in the virus invasion process, the envelope protein also becomes a common target for the prevention and control research of viral diseases, and the invasion of the virus is prevented by inhibiting the action of the envelope protein. Studies have shown that polypeptides derived from the transmembrane region of the envelope protein tend to be natural inhibitors of viral entry. For example, the HIV-1 inhibiting drug Enfuvirtide is developed based on the polypeptide from HIV-1 envelope protein gb 41. In addition, influenza virus, influenza A virus, dengue virus and rift valley fever virus are screened from envelope proteins to obtain polypeptides with invasion inhibiting effect. The polypeptides have no cytotoxicity, show sequence specificity in action mode and can be used as a primer for designing virus inhibition drugs.
Because of the lack of effective WSSV control drugs at present, chemical disinfection often has the problems of residue and the like, the polypeptide provided by the invention can provide a new idea for the development of WSSV control drugs.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems of lack of ESSV control medicines and residual chemical disinfection, and provides a polypeptide with white spot syndrome virus inhibition effect, which is used for the development of WSSV inhibition medicines and has the advantages of no residue and no side effect.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
on one hand, the invention provides a polypeptide with white spot syndrome virus inhibition effect, the amino acid sequence of which is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1 and is Ser Ala Ile Leu Ala Ile Thr Ala Val Ile Ala Val Phe Ile Val Ile Phe Arg Tyr; the amino acid sequence of the amino acid sequence is the functional equivalent of SEQ ID NO. 1, and the functional equivalent is the amino terminal or carboxyl terminal modified sequence, the sequence of D-amino acid substituted L-amino acid, and the sequence of amino acid deletion or addition of the amino acid of the SEQ ID NO. 1.
The invention also provides application of the polypeptide in preparing a medicine for inhibiting white spot syndrome virus.
Furthermore, the medicine is a medicine acting on the prawns.
The screening method of the polypeptide with the white spot syndrome virus inhibiting effect comprises the following steps:
(1) according to the function of envelope protein in virus invasion, selecting main envelope protein VP28 as a target from more than 20 envelope proteins of WSSV to screen polypeptide;
(2) submitting the amino acid sequence of VP28 to an MEPx server, and screening a region with a high WWIHS value in VP28 by using a hydropathic function module, namely a region with high hydrophobicity, wherein the polypeptide in the region is a candidate polypeptide;
(3) chemically synthesizing candidate polypeptide, purifying by HPLC after synthesis, and identifying by mass spectrometry;
(4) and dissolving the polypeptide by DMSO, injecting the polypeptide into prawns, injecting WSSV virus suspension at the same time, wherein the used prawns are litopenaeus vannamei, injecting only the WSSV virus suspension into a control group, and comparing the survival conditions of the two groups of prawns so as to detect the protective action of the polypeptide on the toxic-counteracting prawns.
(5) The finally screened polypeptide sequence with the WSSV inhibiting effect is as follows: ser Ala Ile Leu Ala Ile Thr Ala Val Ile Ala Val Phe Ile Val Ile Phe Arg Tyr are provided.
The polypeptide obtained by the invention has the advantages of small molecular weight, easy synthesis, simple structure, no residue, no side effect, inhibition effect on the invasion of the white spot syndrome virus into prawns, and is particularly suitable for protecting prawns in the early stage of virus outbreak, and has important value in the aspect of development of environment-friendly white spot syndrome virus prevention and treatment medicines.
