新城疫(newcastle disease,ND)是禽类的两大疫病之一,新城疫病毒(Newcastle disease virus,NDV)是该病的病原体。为了解野禽NDV的分子特性、致病性及其与家禽NDV之间的关系,2011年分离到一株野禽NDV,将其命名为NDV2;通过标准生物学毒力检测证实其为强毒株。参照GenBank发布的NDV全长基因序列设计9对特异性引物,对NDV2进行全基因的序列测定和分析。拼接后序列分析表明,NDV2株的全基因组序列总长为15 192 nt,包含6个开放阅读框,分别编码6种蛋白nucleocapsid protein(NP)、phosphoprotein(P)、matrix protein(M)、fusion protein(F)、haemagglutinin-neuraminidase(HN)和large protein(L)的基因,长度分别为1 753、1 451、1 241、1 792、2 004和6 703 nt(GenBank登录号:KF306265)。与国内多数禽源分离毒株相似,NDV2毒株亦属于ClassⅡ、基因Ⅶ型。综合各个蛋白的同源性比较,NDV2株与近年国内流行的一些基因Ⅶ型毒株如:Egret.GX.11、Duck.WF.00、Goose.GD450.11等的同源性较高,远高于其他地区和其他基因型的毒株,这说明NDV2毒株与国内的野毒株亲缘性较高;与NDV2同源性差距最大的为ClassⅠ的JS10毒株。F基因的裂解位点显示:全基因长度为15 192nt的毒株(包括NDV2毒株在内)在裂解位点处的氨基酸序列为RRQKRF或KRQKRF,为强毒株序列。从基因分型结果来看,NDV2毒株和绝大多数参考毒株F基因和HN基因分型结果是一致的;唯一不同的就是印度鸡源分离株NDV4毒株,F基因分型它属于Ⅱ型,HN基因分型它属于Ⅶ型。分析各个基因的起始序列和终止序列后发现:NDV2株与其它参考NDV毒株的各个基因的起始序列完全相同,说明各基因起始序列保守性较高;不同之处是NDV2毒株F和HN基因的终止序列与La Sota和Sweden95一致,与其他野禽毒株不同。以NDV2人工感染无特定病原(Spicific pathogenfree,SPF)鸡(Gallus gallus)、鸭(Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos Linnaeus.)和鸽(Rupestris Pallas),并且每个攻毒组设同居感染组;来观察NDV2毒株对不同宿主的致病性。结果表明,NDV2毒株均可引起3种攻毒动物发病,剖解后肠道、腺胃、气管等处有淤血、出血现象;而且病毒对鸡和鸽的致病性明显高于鸭。同时NDV2毒株可引起50%同居鸡和20%同居鸽感染发病,不能引起同居鸭发病。本研究为NDV的遗传变异特征和致病规律等方面提供基础资料。  相似文献

Epitopes on the α‐gliadins are known to give rise to immune responses that may lead to the development of celiac disease in genetically predisposed individuals. The reduction of epitope levels in wheat‐based products would likely benefit this group of consumers and also consumers with non‐celiac gluten sensitivity. Conventional breeding of wheats with lowered epitope levels will take time, but in this study we show for the first time that milling technology can be used to produce flour mill streams that are depleted in α‐20 gliadin epitopes. Fifteen mill streams from two New Zealand wheat cultivars, Sapphire (a biscuit wheat) and Monad (a bread wheat), were tested with reversed‐phase HPLC and an α‐20 gliadin epitope ELISA kit. The level of α‐20 epitope measured in Sapphire gliadins was significantly less than that found in Monad gliadins, even taking into account differences in total protein content. For both cultivars, compared with the straight‐run flour, the break flours had similar or significantly higher proportions of α‐20 epitope per unit of protein, whereas most of the reduction streams had significantly lower proportions of α‐20 epitope per unit of protein. Theoretically, combining selected (mainly reduction) flour streams may produce flour with ∼75% of the epitope content of the straight‐run flour.  相似文献

The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) can be used for wheat quality improvement. Two novel alleles (designated 1Dx1.5* and 1Dy12.2*, respectively) at the Glu-D1 locus were identified in the Chinese wheat landrace variety ‘Jiuquanjinbaoyin’ by comparison of subunit mobility with that previously identified in several standard hexaploid wheats. The 1Dx1.5* and 1Dy12.2* genes were isolated using the allele-specific PCR primers and the complete open reading frames (ORFs) were obtained. Allele 1Dx1.5* consists of 2487 bp encoding a mature protein of 827 amino acid residues, whereas 1Dy12.2* consists 1980 bp encoding 658 residues. Comparisons of amino acid sequences analysis showed that 1Dx1.5* had higher similarity with the HMW-GS isolated from the wheat related species (Aegilops tauchi Coss.) than from the bread wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.). The 1Dy12.2* amino acid sequence showed a generally similar to the 1Dy12* isolated from Chinese endemic wheats. Meanwhile, the dough properties of the lines expressing (null, 7+8, 1.5*+10), (null, 7+8, 2+12.2*) and (null, 7+8, 2+12), respectively, were measured by a Mixograph, which demonstrates that the alleles 1.5*+10 can be considered as having positive impact on dough strength when compared with the alleles 2+12. In addition, the subunits 2+12.2* also showed a greater impact on dough strength than 2+12.  相似文献

Buckwheat is generally regarded as a nutritionally rich food source. However, earlier studies prove that it also causes allergies to subjects. Allergenic proteins with a strong IgE-binding activity have been identified in common buckwheat (CB) and a 24 kDa allergen (rTBa) in tartary buckwheat (TB). The objective of this research was to clone and express a novel allergen in tartary buckwheat and to evaluate its structure and immunological activity. The 1773 bp full-length cDNA was amplified and cloned from the total RNA of TB by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) methods. Its nucleotide sequence had high similarity with legume-like 13S storage protein mRNA in CB. The deduced amino acid sequence included a putative signal peptide and 18 fragments as its epitope sites. The predicted full-length TB allergen sequence was found to have two domains, and the recombinant protein reacted with sera from patients with positive IgE binding to buckwheat and had a lower binding ability than the recombinant TBa and recombinant TBb (C- and N-terminal amino acid sequence of TBt codes for protein). This fact suggests that full-length TB allergen may hydrolyze to two domains in vivo, decreasing the IgE-binding ability.  相似文献

The high incidence of food allergies, including oral allergy syndrome, represent major considerations when introducing new crops and foods. A new structural database of allergenic proteins, SDAP-Food, http://fermi.utmb.edu/SDAP/, has been developed to aid in predicting the IgE-binding potential of novel food proteins and cross-reactivities among known allergens. The site is designed to facilitate the first steps of a decision tree approach to determine the allergenicity of a given protein, based on the sequence and structural similarity to known allergens and their IgE binding sites. Immunological tests can then be used to confirm the predictions. A hierarchical procedure for identifying potential allergens, using a physical property-based sequence similarity index, has been designed to identify regions that resemble known IgE binding sites. As an example, SDAP tools were used to find food allergen sequences similar to an IgE binding site of the Jun a 3 allergen from mountain cedar pollen. The SDAP sequence similarity search matched the Jun a 3 epitope to regions in several food allergens, including cherry (Pru av 2), apple (Mal d 2) and pepper (Cap a 1), which are, like Jun a 3, members of the plant pathogenesis-related (PR-5) protein family. Homology modeling, using our EXDIS/DIAMOD/FANTOM program suite, indicated a similar surface location and structure for the potential epitope region on all of these allergens. The quantitative approach presented here can be used as part of a screening process for potential allergenicity of recombinant food products.  相似文献

Although many sequences and linear IgE epitopes of allergenic proteins have been identified and archived in databases, structural and physicochemical discriminators that define their specific properties are lacking. Current bioinformatics tools for predicting the potential allergenicity of a novel protein use methods that were not designed to compare peptides. Novel tools to determine the quantitative sequence and three-dimensional (3D) relationships between IgE epitopes of major allergens from peanut and other foods have been implemented in the Structural Database of Allergenic Proteins (SDAP; http://fermi.utmb.edu/SDAP/). These peptide comparison tools are based on five-dimensional physicochemical property (PCP) vectors. Sequences from SDAP proteins similar in their physicochemical properties to known epitopes of Ara h 1 and Ara h 2 were identified by calculating property distance (PD) values. A 3D model of Ara h 1 was generated to visualize the 3D structure and surface exposure of the epitope regions and peptides with a low PD value to them. Many sequences similar to the known epitopes were identified in related nut allergens, and others were within the sequences of Ara h 1 and Ara h 2. Some of the sequences with low PD values correspond to other known epitopes. Regions with low PD values to one another in Ara h 1 had similar predicted structure, on opposite sides of the internal dimer axis. The PD scale detected epitope pairs that are similar in structure and/or reactivity with patient IgE. The high immunogenicity and IgE reactivity of peanut allergen proteins might be due to the proteins' arrays of similar antigenic regions on opposite sides of a single protein structure.  相似文献

Riboflavin binding protein (RfBP) is a minor protein in hen egg; its potential involvement in egg allergy has seldom been studied. The aim of this work was to investigate the IgE binding capacity of RfBP before and after simulated gastrointestinal digestion. It was shown that digestion of RfBP mainly occurred during the gastric phase. The protein fragments resulting from the subsequent duodenal phase remained linked through disulfide bonds. Both the intact protein and its digests were subjected to inhibition ELISA with sera obtained from patients allergic to egg. The results revealed significant IgE binding to intact RfBP, whereas the digests showed reduced but substantial IgE binding levels, with serum-to-serum variability. The RfBP digests were then subjected to immunoblot with allergic patients' sera, and the IgE-reactive peptides were further analyzed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry for sequence determination. The RfBP sequence 41-84 was identified as a novel IgE binding peptide in patients allergic to egg.  相似文献

To reduce the immunogenicity of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG), two beta-LG-carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) conjugates (Conj. 40 and Conj. 162) were prepared by using water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC). The molar ratios of beta-LG to CMD in Conj. 40 and Conj. 162 were 8:1 and 7:1, respectively. Each conjugate maintained approximately 50% of the retinol binding activity of beta-LG. Structural analyses by intrinsic fluorescence, CD spectra, and ELISA with monoclonal antibodies indicated that the surface of beta-LG in each conjugate was covered by CMD without great disruption of native conformation. By conjugation with CMD, the antibody response to beta-LG was reduced in BALB/c, C3H/He, and C57BL/6 mice, which was eminent in Conj. 162. The results of B cell epitope scanning using overlapping synthesized peptides showed that the linear epitope profiles of the conjugates were similar to those of beta-LG, whereas the antibody response to each epitope was reduced, which was eminent in Conj. 162. It was concluded that conjugation with CMD of higher molecular weight is effective in reducing the immunogenicity of beta-LG and that masking of epitopes by CMD is responsible for the reduced immunogenicity.  相似文献
