Application of recombinant protein rMmm to resistance of mycoplasma filis subspecies infection
Technical Field
The invention relates to a recombinant protein and application thereof in resisting filamentous mycoplasma subspecies infection. In particular to the application of recombinant protein rMmm to the resistance of mycoplasma filis subspecies infection. The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines.
Background
Infectious bovine pleuropneumonia (Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, CBPP) is a severe respiratory disease caused by filamentous mycoplasma subspecies (Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. Mycoides, mmm) and susceptible to individual cattle. In the acute to subacute stage, the disease manifests as cellulosic bronchopneumonia and pleural effusion, and in chronic cases as lung abscess. CBPP is classified by the world animal health organization (World Organization for ANIMAL HEALTH, WOAH) as one of the six major diseases due to its high morbidity and mortality.
CBPP is an ancient disease, epidemic in central europe and northern europe since the lower half of the 16 th century. In the latter half of the 19 th century, CBPP began to spread worldwide with the increase in livestock commerce, with the first 20 th century being transferred into asia. To date, many countries eradicate CBPP by a post-kill or post-immunisation strategy, but remain popular in saharan africa. These areas are reported to have a total of up to 4480 kilo euros of direct and indirect economic losses due to CBPP annually, severely impacting local animal husbandry development. Some Asian countries lack effective monitoring data, and epidemic situation is unknown, but internal data show that the prevalence rate of the Bkenstein Ovap province reaches 8%. CBPP was introduced when the dairy cow was introduced in 1919, and thereafter, it was popular in our country for up to 70 years, and huge losses were caused to agriculture that was currently mainly relying on animal power to develop production activities. Since the 60 s of the 20 th century, china has been authenticated by WOAH to be CBPP-free country since no clinical cases were found after 1989 by high-density inoculation of an autonomously developed attenuated vaccine and combination of strict prevention and control measures. Because CBPP is still currently popular in the neighborhood of southeast asia and africa in our country, where the eastern, southern and western africa all experience large-scale bursts of CBPP. Under the new situation that trade is continuously aggravated at home and abroad nowadays, although CBPP is eradicated for years in China, the risk of re-entering and epidemic of the disease still exists. Notably, under the requirements of new national biosafety and animal welfare, the autonomous development of attenuated vaccines (rabbit/sheep hydrothorax) in China has been prohibited from production and use. Thus, there is a need for improvements and development of novel CBPP vaccines (e.g., subunit or nucleic acid vaccines, etc.), as well as for the development of safe and effective anti-infective agents.
Since 1956, the control and eradication of CBPP in domestic animals was successfully promoted by using an attenuated vaccine serial-passage cultured in allogeneic animals by Mmm virulent isolate Ben1, a Harbin veterinary institute of China academy of agricultural sciences. The laboratory was used as a national CBPP reference laboratory for whole genome sequencing of five representative strains (Ben 1, ben50, ben181, ben326 and Ben 468) passaged in the Ben series at a previous stage. Where Ben1 is a primary virulent strain, ben50 is a first generation strain that is virulent to rabbits, ben181 and Ben326 are vaccine strains, and Ben468 is a first generation strain lacking immune protection. The results of the comparison and sequencing revealed that the number of genes from Ben1 to Ben468,679 remained unchanged, constituting the core genes of Ben series, but 35 genes were lost in Ben 468. We speculate that the 35 gene expressed proteins may be associated with resistance to Mmm infection and immune protection.
Mmm604 is one of the 35 genes deleted, which expresses a putative protein of 154 amino acids in size, belonging to the ABC three-component system of proteins. Therefore, we tested its role in anti Mmm and put forward the present invention.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide recombinant protein rMmm and application thereof in resisting mycoplasma filis subspecies infection.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical means:
The invention firstly constructs Mmm prokaryotic expression plasmid and purifies recombinant protein rMmm with MBP label. EBL cells were incubated with 1. Mu.g/mL recombinant protein rMmm or tag protein rMBP for 2 hours, followed by the addition of 10 7 CCU/mL of Mmm two virulent strains (Ben 1 and Mu 1) per well for a further incubation of 12 h. After the incubation time was completed, the cell wells were washed 3 times with PBS and all EBL cells and Mmm adhered to their surfaces were collected. The relative level of change in the amount of Mmm adhering to EBL cells was analyzed and calculated using the present laboratory specific TaqMan probe. The results showed that after incubation of recombinant protein rMmm604,604 protein, the number of adhesion of the two Mmm strains (Ben 1 and Mu 1) to EBL was reduced compared to the control (tag protein rMBP incubation). The green fluorescence value (which represents Mmm signal) on the EBL cells treated as described above was examined by IFA, and the result showed that the number of EBL infected by both Mmm strains was reduced compared to the control group (tagged protein rMBP incubated group) after incubation of recombinant protein rMmm604. The above results demonstrate that recombinant protein rMmm604,604 is capable of inhibiting Mmm adhesion and infection to host EBL cells.
Based on the above research, the invention provides the application of recombinant protein rMmm to the resistance of mycoplasma filis subspecies infection.
Wherein, preferably, the nucleotide sequence of the recombinant protein rMmm is shown as SEQ ID NO.1 or SEQ ID NO. 2.

The invention provides a novel medicament for resisting filamentous mycoplasma subspecies infection, which is recombinant protein rMmm604,604, and researches show that the recombinant protein rMmm604,604 does not generate cytotoxicity to EBL cells, and after the recombinant protein rMmm is used for incubating the EBL cells, the number of two Mmm strains (Ben 1 and Mu 1) infected with the EBL is obviously reduced compared with that of a control group (a tagged protein rMBP incubation group). Therefore, the invention provides a new technical means for treating the infectious bovine pleuropneumonia.
