Phage endolysin Lysin1902: prokaryotic expression and evaluation of its bactericidal activity combined with ε-poly-lysine

摘要:

【目的】研究裂解酶Lysin1902与ε-聚赖氨酸(ε-PL)对大肠杆菌O157:H7的协同抗菌作用。【方法】通过Mega构建进化树、使用在线工具等分析大肠杆菌噬菌体裂解酶Lysin1902氨基酸序列组成和结构等；原核表达并纯化Lysin1902；通过平板裂解实验检测Lysin1902对大肠杆菌O157:H7灭活菌株的裂解活性；用96孔板法检测Lysin1902或ε-PL的活菌裂解能力；棋盘法验证Lysin1902和ε-PL联用效果。【结果】体外成功表达并纯化了Lysin1902。Lysin1902对大肠杆菌O157:H7灭活菌株具有裂解活性，但不能有效裂解活的大肠杆菌。噬菌体裂解酶与ε-PL联用 结果表明，加入Lysin1902后，ε-PL能够完全控制大肠杆菌O157:H7增殖的使用浓度由0.7 mg/mL降低到0.1 mg/mL。【结论】体外原核表达并纯化Lysin1902，其单独使用对活的大肠杆菌O157:H7无裂解活性，但与ε-PL联用可显著提高ε-PL对大肠杆菌O157:H7的裂解能力。

Abstract:

[Objective] To investigate the antibacterial effect of the phage endolysin Lysin1902 combined with ε-poly-lysine (ε-PL) on Escherichia coli O157:H7. [Methods] We employed Mega to construct the phylogenetic tree and used online tools to analyze the amino acid sequence of Lysin1902. After prokaryotic expression, Lysin1902 was purified. We then detected the lytic activity of Lysin1902 against autoclaved E. coli O157:H7 by plate lysis assay and detected the lysis activity of Lysin1902 or ε-PL on live E. coli O157:H7 in 96-well plates. Further, we adopted checkerboard assay to measure the bactericidal activity of Lysin1902 combined with ε-PL. [Results] We successfully expressed and purified Lysin1902. Lysin1902 showed lytic activity against autoclaved E. coli O157:H7 but cannot effectively lyse live E. coli strains. After the addition of Lysin1902, the concentration of ε-PL that could completely control the proliferation of E. coli O157:H7 decreased from 0.7 mg/mL to 0.1 mg/mL. [Conclusion] Lysin1902 was successfully expressed and purified. Lysin1902 alone has no lytic activity against E. coli O157:H7, while the combined use of Lysin1902 with ε-PL significantly increased the lytic activity of ε-PL against E. coli O157:H7.
