Background
The antibacterial peptide is a polypeptide synthesized in a ribose body by gene coding, and different types of antibacterial peptides have the common characteristics of short peptide, strong cationic property, good thermal stability, small molecular weight, no drug shielding and low toxicity to eukaryotic cells. Today, antimicrobial peptides have been successfully isolated and classified in most organic organisms from prokaryotes to humans. Antibacterial peptides, which are generally active against bacteria, play an important role in the innate immunity of eukaryotes and are considered to be immune molecules that are effectively retained in the body of mammals during ancient evolution. Therefore, the antibacterial peptide serving as a polypeptide substance widely existing in organisms in the nature can be used as a first line of defense of organisms and can resist the invasion of pathogens. The antibacterial peptide has various biological activities of resisting bacteria, fungi and viruses, inhibiting and killing cancer cells and the like, and is not easy to generate drug resistance.
Currently, the application of antibacterial peptides in medicine has achieved satisfactory results, and many new drugs gradually enter the medicine market. For example, the antimicrobial peptide drug MAI278 developed by applying the amphibian antimicrobial peptide magainin is close to completing the phase III clinical test, and shows good killing effect on viruses and tumor cells. daptomycin is an anionic antimicrobial peptide developed by the company Cubit Pharmaceuticals and approved by the U.S. food and drug administration to market in 9 months 2003, and is useful for the treatment of skin infections and sepsis caused by gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus. Li and the like make breakthrough progress on the research on the gene function of the murine Binlb antibacterial peptide. The gene is the first functional gene discovered at present and related to inflammation of the male reproductive system, and the epididymis is proved to have an immune system for the first time. MX-226(CPI-226) is an indolicidin antibacterial peptide separated from cattle, has completed phase IIIb clinical tests, can be used for locally preventing or reducing blood infection related to central venous catheters, and shows good application prospect. plectasin (plectasin) is an antibacterial peptide separated from ascomycete, has good bactericidal activity on streptococcus pneumoniae, can also inhibit growth of fungi and viruses, and has been studied in the early clinical stage in 2007. Besides, antibiotics, which are used as feed additives in animal production, play an important role in the development of animal husbandry, but the residues in animal bodies and animal products and the drug resistance problem caused by pathogenic bacteria have negative effects on the health and environment of human beings. Therefore, the antibacterial peptide is a substance which is most hopeful to replace the traditional antibiotics, and has good application prospect in the fields of medicine industry, food additives and the like. Therefore, the invention aims to modify the antimicrobial peptide Cm-CATH2 of the chelonian (Chelonia mydas) so as to provide a new antimicrobial peptide as a powerful candidate for a new generation of antimicrobial drugs.
Chinese patent CN201610585747.7 discloses an antimicrobial peptide Cm-CATH2, which is obtained by transforming Cm-CATH2 and has good antibacterial activity; chinese patent CN202011319757.9 discloses the application of antibacterial peptide Cm-CATH2 in preventing and controlling Fusarium septeminatum in grains; chinese patent CN202011319760.0 discloses an application of antibacterial peptide Cm-CATH2 in inhibiting vibrio parahaemolyticus in marine products. The patents show that the antibacterial peptide Cm-CATH2 has a good inhibition effect on bacteria, but the research on structural modification and anti-inflammatory effect is not involved.

The effect of sodium chloride on the antibacterial activity of dCM 2, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 was determined by determining the MIC values of dCM 2, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 for E.coli ATCC25922 using a 2-fold dilution method.
Heat resistance: the effect of heating at different temperatures on the antibacterial activity of the samples was determined by dissolving dNCCM 2, NCM4 or Cm-CATH2 in sterile deionized water (2 mg/ml), incubating at 4, 20, 37, 50, 70 and 90 ℃ for 1 hour, and then determining the MIC values of the samples against E.coli ATCC25922 using a 2-fold dilution method.
Thermal stability: dNCCM 2, NCM4 or Cm-CATH2 were dissolved in sterile deionized water (2 mg/ml) and incubated at 37 ℃ for 0-96 hours. Samples were taken at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours to determine MIC values for E.coli ATCC25922, respectively, and the samples were heat-stable.
As shown in Table 3, dNCCM 2, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 have strong salt tolerance. The antibacterial activity of dNCCM 2, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 is kept unchanged under the condition that the concentration of the physiological salt of the human body is lower than or equal to that of the physiological salt of the human body (less than or equal to 150mM NaCl). The antibacterial activity of dNCM2 and NCM4 is only slightly reduced with the increase of the salt concentration after the salt concentration is higher than the physiological salt concentration of a human body, particularly dNCM2, and the antibacterial activity is also kept unchanged under the condition of 200mM NaCl.

As shown in table 4, dNCM2 has strong heat resistance. The antibacterial activity of the dNCM2 solution did not change after standing at 90 ℃ for 1 hour. In contrast, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 were slightly less heat resistant, and their MIC values were all increased after 1 hour of heating at high temperature.

Many conventional antibiotics, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, are very unstable in solution and lose activity within a few hours, which greatly limits their use. In contrast, dNCM2 has good thermal stability. The antibacterial activity of dNCM2 solution did not change after 96 hours at 37 ℃ (see Table 5). In contrast, NCM4 and Cm-CATH2 were slightly less thermally stable and had elevated MIC values after 96 hours at 37 ℃.

Aspirate the bacteria from each well and wash three times with PBS. 200. mu.L of the diluted polypeptide sample was added to each well so that the final concentration of the polypeptide sample was 0.5 XMIC, 1 XMIC, 2 XMIC, 4 XMIC and 8 XMIC, and incubated at 37 ℃ for 24 hours. Adding crystal violet dye solution (0.1%) into each well, dyeing for 30min, sucking out the dye solution, washing with sterile PBS for three times, and air drying in an ultra-clean bench. Adding 100 μ L of anhydrous ethanol into each well, standing for 20min, and dissolving crystal violet. The OD value was measured at an ultraviolet wavelength of 560nm, and the three were set up in parallel. The percentage of Biofilm formation (Biofilm Retention%, BR%) was calculated using the following formula: BR (%) - [ 100% × (F)% ] 0 -F peptide )/F 0 ]In this experiment, PBS was selected as a negative control, and the measured value was regarded as the maximum biofilm residual amount.

Adding 100 μ L of anhydrous ethanol into each well, standing for 20min, and dissolving crystal violet. The OD value was measured at an ultraviolet wavelength of 560 nm. The percentage of Biofilm Formation (Biofilm Formation%, BF%) was calculated using the following equation: BF (%) - [ 100% × (F) 0 -F peptide )/F 0 ]Wherein PBS (F) 0 ) As a negative control, the measured value was regarded as the maximum biofilm formation amount.

Both the engineered polypeptides dNCM2 and NCM4 were able to inhibit the production of biofilms by acinetobacter baumannii (fig. 5A) and staphylococcus aureus (fig. 5B) at high concentrations. Compared with NCM4, the dNCM2 can better inhibit Staphylococcus aureus from producing a biofilm, and can better inhibit Acinetobacter baumannii from producing a biofilm.
