Abstract:

In order to abtain a high activity antimicrobial peptide,an expression vector was constructed with a tandem of Melittin and Mytilin-B.According to the partiality codon of Pichia pastoris,the Melittin(3-14)-Mytilin-B(13-27) hybrid antimicrobial peptide,Mel-MytB (MEM) gene was synthesized by SOE method,and cloned into pPICZa-A to construct the recombinant expression vector pPICZa-A-MEM.pPICZα-A-MEM was linearized by Sac Ⅰ and electroporated into Pichia pastoris X-33.The results showed that under the control of the promoter alcohol oxidase (AOX),an approximately 3.0 ku Mel-MytB protein was expressed,which had thermal stability and acid stability.The antibacterial activity was basically unchanged after boiling for 40 min and pH 2.0-10.0.Antibacterial assays demonstrated that Mel-MytB had broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.The MIC to Escherichia coli ATCC25922,Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923,Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538,Salmonella enterica ATCC13076,Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC14028,Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC17802,Vibrio vulnificus ATCC27562 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 were 5.1,2.2,2.0,4.6,7.6,9.4,13.2 and 59.4 μg/mL,respectively.Therefore,the recombinant antimicrobial peptide Mel-MytB had a good application prospect in disease prevention and animal feed additives.
