Abstract:
Objective To screen for potential targets of the anti-tuberculosis lead compound M6 using antibody microarray,express Mycobacterium smegmatis(Ms) target protein 2-C-methy1-D-erythriol 4-phosphate cytidylyl-transferase(IspD) in E.coli, and prepare its polyclonal antibodies, in order to provide experimental basis for in-depth study of the protein function and the development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of M6 against Ms and Corynebacterium glutamicum(Cg) was determined. The protein samples of Cg treated with M6 were captured and analyzed by antibody microarray, and the differential targets were identified and screened by mass spectrometry. The ispD gene of Ms was amplified by PCR and cloned into vector pET28a(+) to construct recombinant plasmid pET28a-ispD. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3), and the optimal conditions for protein expression were determined by optimizing the induction temperature(16, 25, 33, 37 ℃) and IPTG concentration(0-1. 5 mmol/L). The recombinant IspD protein was purified by nickel column affinity chromatography. The purified recombinant IspD protein was used as immunogen combined with Freund's incomplete adjuvant to immunize 11 female BALB/c mice to prepare polyclonal antibodies. The titer of antiserum was determined by indirect ELISA, and the antibody specificity was detected by Western blot.Using the prepared polyclonal antibodies, the effect of M6 treatment on the expression level of Ms IspD protein was analyzed by Western blot.Results The MIC of M6 against Cg and Ms was 0. 5 and 32 μg/mL, respectively. IspD protein was one of the primary target proteins of M6. The recombinant expression plasmid pET28a-ispD was constructed correctly as identified by double enzyme digestion, and the IspD protein was expressed in E.coli. The optimal induction conditions were determined to be 1. 0 mmol/L IPTG, 16 ℃ for 14 h. After purification, the purity of recombinant IspD protein reached, and it could specifically bind to mouse anti-His tag monoclonal antibodies. The polyclonal antibodies against IspD protein achieved a high titer of 1∶102 400, which could specifically recognize IspD protein in recombinant bacterial lysate. The expression level of Ms IspD protein did not change significantly after M6 treatment.Conclusion In this study, the potential target IspD protein of M6 was successfully screened by antibody microarray screening, and Ms IspD protein was expressed in E.coli. The polyclonal antibodies against IspD were prepared by immunizing mice, providing essential experimental basic for further functional studies of this protein and the development of novel anti-tuberculosis drugs.
