摘要
为了筛选和鉴定用于猪链球菌(S.suis)致病因子和致病机制研究的启动子,本研究通过质谱鉴定了来自S.suis 2型05ZYH33菌株的5个高丰度蛋白质,并通过其驱动GFP蛋白和甘露糖苷酶SSU05_1921的表达水平,评估了这5个蛋白相应的基因启动子的强弱。结果显示,这5种蛋白质分别为SSU05_0177、SSU05_0530、SSU05_1503、SSU05_1815和SSU05_1868,相应的5个启动子P_(0177)、P_(0530)、P_(1503)、P_(1815)和P_(1868)均能够有效驱动GFP在E.coli和S.suis中的高水平表达,但是P_(1815)、P_(0177)和P_(1868)不能驱动SSU05_1921在S.suis中的表达。P_(0530)和P_(1503)能够驱动SSU05_1921在S.suis中的表达,并且P_(1503)启动子驱动GFP和SSU05_1921的表达水平均比P_(0530)启动子驱动的高两倍以上。因此,P_(0530)和P_(1503)是S.suis的强启动子,并且P_(1503)更强于P_(0530)。这在高水平表达GFP用于标记菌体,以及构建无启动子基因的回复突变菌株中发挥关键作用,在S.suis遗传操作中具有很好的应用前景。
To screen and identify promoters for the study of virulence factors and pathogenic mechanisms of Streptococcus suis(S.suis), five high-abundance proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS from S.suis serotype 2 strain 05 ZYH33, and the corresponding gene promoters of these 5 proteins were evaluated by their capability of driving protein expression of GFP and a mannosidase SSU05_1921. Results revealed that the five proteins were SSU05_0177, SSU05_0530, SSU05_1503, SSU05_1815,and SSU05_1868, respectively, and the corresponding promoters P_(0177), P_(0530), P_(1503), P_(1815) and P_(1868) could effectively drive the expression of GFP in E.coli and S.suis, but P_(1815), P_(0177) and P_(1868) could not drive SSU05_1921 expression in S.suis. In contrast, P_(0530) and P_(1503) were able to drive expression of SSU05_1921 in S.suis, and the latter showed more than twice higher efficiency than P_(0530) in driving both GFP and SSU05_1921 expression in S.suis. Therefore, both P_(0530) and P_(1503) are strong promoters of S.suis. P_(1503) is even stronger than P_(0530). These two strong promoters are playing a key role in expressing GFP at high levels for labeling cells and constructing back mutations without promoter genes, and it is promising for genetic manipulation and pathological study in S.suis.
