Expression and purification of neurotoxin-associated protein HA-33/A from Clostridium botulinum and evaluation of its antigenicity.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) complexes consist of neurotoxin and neurotoxin-associated proteins. Hemagglutinin-33 (HA-33) is a member of BoNT type A (BoNT/A) complex. Considering the protective role of HA-33 in preservation of BoNT/A in gastrointestinal harsh conditions and also its adjuvant role, recombinant production of this protein is favorable. Thus in this study, HA-33 was expressed and purified, and subsequently its antigenicity in mice was studied. METHODS Initially, ha-33 gene sequence of Clostridium botulinum serotype A was adopted from GenBank. The gene sequence was optimized and synthesized in pET28a (+) vector. E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain was transformed by the recombinant vector and the expression of HA-33 was optimized at 37°C and 5 h induction time. RESULTS The recombinant protein was purified by nickel nitrilotriacetic acid agarose affinity chromatography and confirmed by immunoblotting. Enzyme Linked Immunoassay showed a high titer antibody production in mice. CONCLUSION The results indicated a highly expressed and purified recombinant protein, which is able to evoke high antibody titers in mice.

Background & Objectives:Clostridial neurotoxin inhibits neurotransmitter release by selective and specific intracellular proteolysis of synaptosomal associated protein of 25KDa (SNAP-25), synaptobrevin/VAMP-2 and syntaxin. SNAP-25 is one of the components that forms docking complex in synaptic ends. This protein is subtrate for botulinum neurotoxins types A,C, and E. Each of these toxin serotyp...

Abstract Background and purpose: Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins that cause the life-threatening botulism syndrome in humans and animals. Researches have shown that the binding domain of the botulinum neurotoxin type E has a high immunogenicity effect that could be used as an efficient recombinant vaccine. The recombinant vaccines are not potent enough to stimulate...

Clostridium Botulinum Type E neurotoxin heavy chain consists of two domains: the translocation domain asthe N-terminal half and the binding domain as the Cterminal half (Hc). One effective way to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin is to inhibit binding of this toxin to neuromuscular synapses with antibodies against binding domain. Two synthetic genes, coding for Hc (the full length binding d...
