Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to study the regulatory effect of Salmonella Typhimurium chaperone protein Hfq-dependent sRNA GcvB on spaP and invC gene mRNA.λ-Red homologous recombination technology was used to construct spaP and invC genes LacZ fusion strains, P22 phage transduction technology was used to construct GcvB and Hfq genes single deletion and double deletion strains and GcvB functional region deletion strains.β-galactosinosidase activity experiment was performed to determine the protein expression activity of spaP and invC genes in chaperone proteins Hfq, sRNA GcvB and Hfq & GcvB deletion strains.Real-time PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of spaP and invC genes.The results showed that P22 phage transduction technology successfully constructed ΔGcvB (696 bp), ΔHfq (2 369 bp), ΔGcvBΔHfq (2 369/696 bp), GcvBΔR1 (757 bp), GcvBΔR2 (951 bp), GcvBΔR3 (986 bp) deletion strains.β-galactosinosidase activity test results showed that compared with wild-type strains, the β-galactosinosidase activity of spaP gene was extremely significantly down-regulated in the deleted strains GcvBΔR2 and GcvBΔR3 (P<0.01), and the β-galactosinosidase activity of the invC gene was extremely significantly up-regulated in the deleted strains ΔGcvB, ΔHfq, ΔGcvBΔHfq and GcvBΔR1 (P<0.01).The invC gene was extremely significantly down-regulated in the deletion strain GcvBΔR2 and GcvBΔR3 protein activity (P<0.01), and the GcvBΔR1 protein activity was significantly down-regulated in the deletion strain (P<0.05).The protein activity in the deletion strains ΔGcvB, ΔHfq and ΔGcvBΔHfq was extremely significantly up-regulated (P<0.01).Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the wild-type strain, the transcription level of the spaP gene in ΔHfq, ΔGcvB, ΔGcvBΔHfq and GcvBΔR1 deletion strains was extremely significantly up-regulated (P<0.01), while the transcription level of GcvBΔR2 deletion strain was extremely significantly down-regulated (P<0.01).The transcription level of GcvBΔR3 deletion strains was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), the transcription level of invC gene ΔHfq, ΔGcvBΔHfq and ΔGcvB deletion strains was extremely significant up-regulated (P<0.01), GcvBΔR1 and GcvBΔR2 deletion strains were all extremely significantly downward-regulated (P<0.01), GcvBΔR3 deletion strains were all significant down-regulated (P<0.05).According to the above experimental results, sRNA GcvB and chaperonin Hfq had a certain regulatory effect on invC and spaP genes.This experiment provided a theoretical basis for the regulation of sRNA GcvB and chaperonin Hfq, and enriched the number of target genes of GcvB.
