Abstract: The purpose of this study was to express Salmonella virulence protein SipA through pET prokaryotic expression system and prepare polyclonal antibodies against SipA protein, so as to analyze the regulatory effect of noncoding small RNAs RyhB-1 and RyhB-2 of Salmonella Enteritidis SE50336 on SipA. pET28a-sipA recombinant plasmid was constructed by pET prokaryotic expression system and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells. After optimizing and obtaining the best protein induction conditions, the protein was induced and expressed. The expression of recombinant protein was analyzed by 10% SDS-PAGE. The recombinant protein was purified by nickel affinity chromatography. BALB/c mice were immunized with purified SipA protein and Freund adjuvant to obtain specific polyclonal antibody against SipA protein, and the specificity of the prepared serum was analyzed. Western blotting technique was used to detect wild strain SE50336 and RyhB single deletion strains SE50336ΔryhB-1, SE50336ΔryhB-2 and RyhB double deletion strain SE50336ΔryhB-1ΔryhB-2 so as to analyze the regulatory effects of RyhB-1 and RyhB-2 on SipA protein. The results showed that the recombinant plasmid pET28a-SipA was successfully constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells. SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant protein was mainly expressed in the form of inclusion body, with a size of 75 ku. After purification by affinity chromatography, the purity of SipA protein was high. The results of Western blotting showed that the polyclonal antibody could specifically detect the SipA recombinant protein of Salmonella Enteritidis. Compared with wild strain, the expression of SipA protein in RyhB single deletion strain SE50336ΔryhB-1 and SE50336ΔryhB-2 decreased, especially in double deletion strains, indicating that RyhB-1 and RyhB-2 could upregulate the expression of SipA protein. The purification of SipA recombinant protein and the preparation of SipA polyclonal antibody laid a foundation for further study on the regulatory mechanism of RyhB-1 and RyhB-2 on SipA protein.
