Abstract:
Objective To analyze the conding region of hantanvirus S gene and predict the structure of nucleoprotein for diagnostic antigen study.Methods RT-PCR was used to amplify the S gene of hantanvirus Hunan03 strain after designing specific primers.The amplification product was cloned into pGM-T vector and then the recombinant vector was transformed into E.coli TOP10,gene sequencing was carried out after blue-white selection and PCR screening for positive clones.The database of NCBI and Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL were used to predict and analyze the structure,biological characteristics and protein structures of S gene.Results The amplification product was about 1290 bp,the pGM-T/S vector was constructed and successfully sequenced,the whole length of the open reading frame (ORF) was composed of 1290 nucleotide residues,among them the GC content was 44.11％ and the AT content was 55.89％,it was composed of 429 amino acids (20 kinds),the accession number of the sequence submitted to GenBank was JN712306,its homology of nucleotides to the 76-118 strain was 83％ and the homology of amino acids was 98％,ten nonspecific variation sites were found.The grand average of hydropathicity was-0.405.There were three transmembrane domains and four non transmembrane domains in the secondary structure of nucleoprotein including 55％ of helix structure,6.1％ of sheet structure and 38.9％ of loop structure.Conclusion The bioinformatics analysis of Hunan03 strain S gene might be important for provide the substructure data to reveal the significance of S gene characteristics on hemorrhagic fever renal syndrome (HFRS) prevention and control.
