与鸭C4结合蛋白互作的鸭疫里默菌外膜蛋白的筛选及鉴定

旨在筛选并鉴定与鸭C4结合蛋白（C4b-binding protein，C4BP）互作的鸭疫里默氏菌（Riemerella anatipestifer，R.anatipestifer）外膜蛋白。本研究将保存的R.anatipestifer复苏培养，提取外膜蛋白，以鸭C4BPα作为诱饵蛋白进行His pull-down及LC-MS/MS蛋白质谱鉴定，筛选与鸭C4BP可能发生互作的候选外膜蛋白；将各候选蛋白进行克隆、原核表达，免疫小鼠制备多克隆抗体，利用Far-western blot验证与鸭C4BP发生相互作用的R.anatipestifer外膜蛋白；针对候选蛋白及C4BPα各功能结构域进行克隆及原核表达，利用Far-western blot鉴定候选蛋白及与C4BP的相互作用位点；利用ELISA对补体因子C3b、C4b及C4BP在R.anatipestifer表面沉积情况进行测定，验证候选蛋白的功能。结果显示，经His pull-down及LC-MS/MS蛋白质谱分析，共筛选出3个与鸭C4BP发生相互作用的R.anatipestifer外膜蛋白，即ECE-1、SODs和Omp62；成功获得3个外膜蛋白多克隆抗体，ELISA检测3种多克隆抗体效价均超过1∶6 400，Western blot检测3种多克隆抗体可以与重组蛋白发生特异性反应；Far-western blot结果显示，仅ECE-1能够与C4BP发生相互作用，并且只有ECE-1全长能与鸭C4BP相互作用，而鸭C4BP与ECE-1的相互作用区域位于C4BPα的SCR 2和SCR 3；当健康鸭血清稀释度为3.125%时，ECE-1抗体能够显著促进补体因子C3b、C4b在R.anatipestifer表面的沉积作用（P<0.05），当健康鸭血清稀释度为6.25%时，ECE-1抗体能够显著抑制C4BP在R.anatipestifer表面的沉积作用（P<0.05）。本研究成功筛选并鉴定出1个与C4BP互作的R.anatipestifer外膜蛋白ECE-1，为进一步阐明R.anatipestifer免疫逃逸机制奠定了基础。

Screening and Identification of Outer Membrane Proteins of Riemerella anatipestifer Recruited Duck C4b-binding Protein

The purpose of this experiment was to screen and identify the outer membrane proteins of Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer) interacting with duck C4b-binding protein (C4BP). The preserved R. anatipestifer was resuscitated, then the outer membrane proteins of R. anatipestifer were extracted and His pull-down and LC-MS/MS were conducted by using duck C4BPα as the bait protein, and the candidate outer membrane proteins that might interact with duck C4BP were screened out. The candidate proteins were cloned, prokaryotic expression was conducted and the polyclonal antibodies were prepared by immunizing the mice. Far-western blot was conducted to verify the outer membrane proteins of R. anatipestifer interacting with duck C4BP. The clone and prokaryotic expression of functional domains of candidate proteins and C4BPα were conducted, and Far-western blot was used to identify the interaction sites between candidate proteins and C4BP. The deposition of complement C3b, C4b and C4BP on the surface of R. anatipestifer were detected by ELISA to verify the function of the candidate proteins. The results showed that a total of 3 outer membrane proteins of R.anatipestifer interacting with duck C4BP were screened out by His pull-down and LC-MS/MS, namely ECE-1, SODs and Omp62. The polyclonal antibodies of 3 outer membrane proteins were successfully prepared, the titers of 3 polyclonal antibodies were more than 1∶6 400 by ELISA, and the result of Western blot showed that 3 polyclonal antibodies could specifically react with corresponding recombinant proteins. The results of Far-western blot showed that only ECE-1 could interact with C4BP, and only the full length of ECE-1 could interact with duck C4BP, and the interaction region between duck C4BP and ECE-1 was located in SCR 2 and SCR 3 of C4BPα. Anti-ECE-1 antibody could significantly increase the C3b and C4b deposition on the surface of R. anatipestifer using 3.125% normal duck serum (NDS, P<0.05), while anti-ECE-1 antibody could significantly decrease the deposition of C4BP on the surface of R. anatipestifer using 6.25% NDS (P<0.05). The study successfully screened out and identified one outer membrane protein (ECE-1) of R. anatipestifer interacting with duck C4BP, which provide a basis to further study the mechanism of R. anatipestifer immune escape.
