Description

融合蛋白、其氨基酸序列、编码核苷酸序列、制备方法和应用 技术领域
本发明涉及农业生物技术领域,具体涉及一种融合蛋白、其氨基酸序列、编码核苷酸序列、制备方法和应用。
背景技术
在农业生态系统中,相较于化学农药而言,生物农药产品具有毒性低,降解周期短,环境相容性大等优点,已经被广泛运用于农作物生产。然而,传统的生物农药的研究开发,主要是针对生物来源的抑菌和杀虫物质进行筛选,进而开发出生物农药对抗病虫害,往往忽略了植物自身免疫力在抗病虫害过程中的作用。近年来,植物免疫诱导技术成为生物农药发展中的一个新亮点。植物免疫诱抗剂也称为“植物疫苗”,通过激发植物自身的免疫系统以达到抗病、增产、改善品质的作用。与传统的生物农药相比,“植物疫苗”不会引起病原微生物的抗性,更加符合绿色健康的农业生产要求,已引起国内外的广泛关注和重视。
植物的PTI(PAMP-Triggered Immunity)免疫机制,在生物农药开发上具有广阔前景。目前市场上的植物免疫类农药种类较少,仅有阿泰灵,Harpin蛋白等几种类型。然而这些产品存在着相当的局限性:第一,他们的受体尚不清晰,在使用上难以做出科学有效的指导,只能通过实验经验来判断其适用范围和使用浓度;第二,植物对这些植物免疫类农药的敏感性较低,使用浓度大和成本高昂。Axiom Harpin Protein是国际上使用较为广泛的生物蛋白农药,然而其纯蛋白产品每克单价高于5000元人民币,其1%含量的蛋白农药产品每克售价也大于140元人民币,高昂的成本极大的限制了它在农业生产上的应用。因此,有必要开发一种价格低廉,且提高植物自身免疫力的效果好的生物农药产品。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本发明致力于提供一种融合蛋白,将多个PAMP分子多肽组装成具有多个或多种免疫表位的融合蛋白,融合蛋白可以更快速、更广泛地的与植物细胞表面的受体结合,诱导多种植物产生免疫反应,明显提高植物抗病性,融合蛋白的制备成本相较于PAMP分子多肽的制备成本低,提高了蛋白类生物农药产品的单位产量,预计蛋白成本可以降低至1元/g,使用浓度低,起效快,应用于农业中可以明显降低农业生产成本。
本发明第一方面提供了一种融合蛋白,所述融合蛋白包含或至少三个、四个、五个、六个、七个相同和/或不同的PAMP分子多肽组成,任选地,相邻两个PAMP分子多肽之间具有至少一 个连接子或者没有连接子
病原相关模式(PAMPs)是指在进化上具有高度的保守性的一些分子,其特征是能够快速触发植物体的免疫防御反应。PAMP分子种类多样,包括多糖类,脂质类,多肽类等分子物质。多肽类的PAMP分子称为PAMP分子多肽,大多数PAMP分子是病原菌生活周期的必需成分,常被植物作为感知病原菌侵害的信号分子。研究表明,特异性的PAMP分子多肽与植物细胞膜上的受体蛋白相互作用,能够快速触发植物体的防御反应来抵抗病原菌的感染。植物防御的免疫反应包括:诱导植物体内活性氧快速生成和诱导胼胝质的沉积;植物激素(例如水杨酸、乙烯)大量合成;防御基因的快速表达。而且植物接收刺激后产生的某些自分泌肽如PIP1、PEP1,也是PAMP分子多肽,可以作为第二信使增强免疫信号,持续免疫效应。
PAMP分子多肽的获取方法,常常是通过在多种病原真菌或细菌中进行同源性序列对比分析,找到蛋白分子中相对保守的序列,然后人工合成该多肽序列,并验证其激活植物免疫反应的能力。
由于病原菌种类不同和自然存在的突变,PAMP分子多肽天然存在多种突变体,PAMP分子多肽突变体可以维持不低于野生型PAMP分子多肽80%的免疫原性,且能够与PAMP分子多肽激活相同且固定的免疫受体。

(3)所述融合蛋白包含或由至少三个、四个、五个、六个、七个相同和不同种类的PAMP分子多肽组成,即包括但不限于或由两个相同且一个不同、两个相同且两个不同、两个相同且三个不同、两个相同且四个不同、两个相同且五个不同、两个相同且六个不同或两个相同且七个不同及其它更多个相同和不同种类的PAMP分子多肽组成。
“任选地”表示可以有或者没有,即组成融合蛋白的相邻两个PAMP分子多肽之间可以没有连接子,或者有至少一个连接子。连接子为具有1个及1个以上氨基酸残基,优选为至少3个连续的氨基酸残基的连接区域。连接子将相邻的两个PAMP分子多肽连接,进而使至少三个多肽组装成融合蛋白。

实施例2 七肽融合蛋白His-MP7表达和纯化
(1)将SEQ ID NO:16所示的核苷酸序列克隆到pET-28b(+)表达载体(Novagen)的HindIII和XholI位点,热激转化到大肠杆菌DH5α中,挑取阳性克隆,摇菌并提取质粒,酶切并测序验证正确后,热激转化到大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中,得到含有重组质粒pET-28b-MP7的大肠杆菌命名为BL21(DE3)/pET-28b-MP7;
(2)对BL21(DE3)/pET-28b-MP7进行诱导表达,包括以下步骤:表达菌株接种于LB液体培养基中,37℃,200rpm/min振荡培养过夜,得到第一菌液;将过夜的菌液以1:100的体积比转接至含100μg/mL卡那霉素的LB液体培养基中,37℃、200rpm/min继续振荡,培养至菌液的浓度OD600nm值为0.6,然后加入终浓度为0.5mmol/L IPTG,于28℃、200rpm/min振荡培养12h,得到第二菌液;将第二菌液12000rpm/min离心,收集菌体加入PBS缓冲液,经超声破碎菌体后,4℃,12000rpm/min离心,收集上清液;
(3)上清液采用His标签蛋白纯化试剂盒纯化(可溶性蛋白),具体操作如下:先将5mLNi-Agarose填料装入亲和柱空柱,将上清液缓慢流过亲和柱,再用含有10mM咪唑的PBS缓冲液洗脱6个柱体积以去杂质,最后用含500mM咪唑的PBS缓冲液洗脱5个柱体积并收集过柱后洗脱液,即为融合蛋白His-MP7溶液;

实施例3 七肽融合蛋白His-MP7的免疫激活的效价研究
植物细胞免疫反应中会产生胼胝质的积累,胼胝质可以加强植物细胞壁的机械强度和堵塞病原体在细胞间扩散的通道,从而限制病原微生物的入侵。以模式植物拟南芥为材料,以胼胝质积累为免疫指标,分析了不同浓度的融合蛋白His-MP7的免疫激活能力,并与单一的PAMP分 子多肽做对比。具体实验操作如下:
一、不同浓度融合蛋白His-MP7引起拟南芥胼胝质积累的对比
调整融合蛋白His-MP7与多肽flg22溶液终浓度分别为1μM,100nM,10nM,并以水为空白对照。通过注射器渗透法侵染四周龄的拟南芥叶片,处理12小时后,采集处理过的叶片放入六孔板,加入适量洗脱液水平孵育4小时。用终浓度为0.1mg/mL的苯胺蓝染色液替换洗脱液,避光室温染色1小时,在荧光显微镜10倍物镜下观察胼胝质积累情况。每个处理三个生物学重复,重复三次实验。
实验结果如图2所示:100nM融合蛋白His-MP7能明显引起拟南芥胼胝质积累,且与1μM PAMP分子多肽flg22效果相当。
二、 同一浓度下融合蛋白His-MP7与不同多肽的免疫激活能力对比

实验结果如图3所示:100nM融合蛋白His-MP7免疫激活效果优于所有PAMP分子多肽。
三、 融合蛋白His-MP7诱导植物产生活性氧爆发免疫反应
活性氧迸发被认为是植物对病原微生物应答的最早期的反应之一,在植物防卫反应中起到重要作用。已有研究证明,活性氧在植物中可以直接作为抗菌剂对病原微生物有直接的毒性和抑制其生长的作用,植物受到病原微生物侵染后体内会产生并积累活性氧迸发。以植物玉米为材料,以活性氧为免疫指标,分析了100nM融合蛋白His-MP7的免疫激活能力。具体实验操作如下:
取二周龄的玉米叶片,取中间部分剪成5cm长度浸入1μg/mL生长素6BA溶液中,加入终浓度为100nM的融合蛋白His-MP7,以生长素6BA的水溶液为空白对照。浸泡48小时,用1mg/mL的DAB溶液染色12小时,洗脱液(乙醇:乙酸:甘油=3:1:1)洗脱12h,放置30分钟观察。
实验结果如图4所示:100nM融合蛋白His-MP7能够诱导植物产生活性氧爆发免疫反应。
上述三个实验证明,较低浓度的融合蛋白His-MP7(100nM)即可高效激活植物免疫,且同一浓度下的融合蛋白His-MP7的免疫激活能力优于单一的PAMP分子多肽。
