摘要: 【目的】分析定位Bt Cry1类毒素Cry1Ab、Cry1Ac、Cry1B、Cry1C、Cry1F的共性结构域,克隆并表达共性结构域蛋白,为筛选Bt毒素广谱抗体及建立广谱检测方法打下基础。【方法】利用生物信息学和分子模拟技术,通过SWISS-MODEL同源建模分别对5种Cry1类毒素进行三维建模,并结合Ramachandran plot、ERRAT和Verify3D方法评价模型构象的合理性。通过分析比对5种Cry1类毒素的三维结构,确定Domain I 区域作为5种Cry1毒素的共性结构域。以含Cry1Ac基因的苏云金芽孢杆菌库斯塔克亚种为模板设计引物,PCR扩增获得共性结构域Domain I基因,将其经Nco I和Not I双酶切连接至原核表达载体pET-26b(+),构建原核表达载体pET-26b-Domain I。重组质粒经菌液PCR、双酶切以及测序鉴定验证正确后,转化至E.coli BL21(DE3),经终浓度为1 mmol·L-1的IPTG在20℃下诱导表达16 h后检测共性结构域蛋白的表达情况。离心收集诱导表达的大肠杆菌菌液,进行超声波破碎处理,收集上清及沉淀,采用 SDS-PAGE 分析融合蛋白的表达。利用His-Trap HP镍亲和柱纯化上清中的可溶性融合蛋白,经SDS-PAGE电泳、Western blot和ELISA试验验证纯化的共性结构域蛋白的生物活性。【结果】基于氨基酸序列及三维空间比对分析,发现5种Cry1类毒素的Domain I 的序列一致性最高,而且它们的DomainⅠ三维结构几乎完全重合,确定Domain I 区域作为5种Cry1毒素的共性结构域;通过PCR、双酶切及测序鉴定成功构建原核表达载体pET-26b-Domain I,经IPTG诱导表达、His-Trap HP镍亲和柱纯化获得了可溶性的Domain I共性结构域蛋白;SDS-PAGE和Western blot证实表达的共性结构域蛋白的分子量约为33.4 kD,且能与抗His标签鼠单克隆抗体发生特异性反应;ELISA试验证实共性结构域蛋白与5种Cry1类毒素特异性抗体均具有很强的结合能力,抗原表位分析结果显示共性结构域蛋白具有和完整的Cry蛋白存在多个潜在抗原表位位点的特征,抗原表位区域所占的比例分别为48.4%和63.6%,表明共性结构域蛋白具有良好的免疫原性和免疫反应性。【结论】基于分子模拟与分子克隆技术,成功定位及表达纯化获得共性结构域蛋白,为下一步利用共性结构域为靶标分子制备广谱特异性识别Cry1类毒素抗体打下基础。

Abstract: 【Objective】The objective of this study is to express the optimal common structural domain through analyzing and locating the common structure of five Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 toxins. This research will lay a foundation for producing the generic antibody and developing the detection method for Cry1 toxins. 【Method】Through bioinformatics, molecular simulation technique and homology modeling to build the three-dimensional structure models of five Cry1 toxins. The structures were evaluated using three programmes, Ramchandran plot, Verify3D and ERRAT. Domain I was identified as the common structure domain of five Cry1 toxins finally. In order to construct the pET-26b-Domain I vector, primers were designed according to the Cry1Ac gene of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki. As well as insert with Nco I and Not I digestion sites. When it was identified by PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing, the recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) which was induced with 1 mmol·L-1 IPTG, 20℃ for 16 h. The supernatant and precipitate were collected and verified by SDS-PAGE after E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells were collected and crushed by ultrasonic wave. The soluble fusion protein was purified by His-Trap HP nickel affinity column and verified by SDS-PAGE, Western blot and ELISA. 【Result】 According to the analysis of amino acid sequences and three- dimensional structures of the five Cry1 toxins, the sequences of Domain I were the highest identity part and its three-dimensional structure was very similar and then the Domain I was chosen as the common structure domain of the five Cry1 toxins. The expression vector pET-26b-Domain I was constructed successfully, and soluble Domain I protein was expressed and purified. The molecular weight of the fusion protein was confirmed to be 33.4 kD by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, which also showed specific activity to anti-6×His monoclonal antibody. The ELISA assay showed that the Domain I protein had a good sensitivity with the specific antibodies of the five Cry1 toxins, and the epitope prediction results showed that both the Domain I protein and the complete Cry protein existed multiple potential epitopes, and the percentage of their antigenic peptides were 48.4% and 63.6%, respectively. These results indicate that the Domain I protein has good immunogenicity and immune response. 【Conclusion】Based on molecular simulation and molecular cloning technology, the conserved structural domain protein was successfully expressed and purified. This study has established a foundation for the following studies and the common structural domain protein would as target molecule for the production of the generic antibody of Cry1 toxins in further research.
