Abstract:

The aim of this study is to identify, clone and express a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis specific immunogenic antigen candidate, in order to develop better reagents for diagnosis and vaccines for the protection of the host. Therefore, MAP2191 gene (a member of MAPmce5 operon) from MAP, was isolated and characterized by Bioinformatics tools and in vitro experiments. Then, a novel Mce-whole protein encoded by MAP2191 gene was amplified and sub-cloned into E. coli. We tried to express the Mce/whole protein in different condition along with a positive expression control (pET28a-Mce/truncated plasmid that we know express well), to ensure that nothing is wrong regarding culture/induction condition. The level of the recombinant protein expression was analyzed by means of SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Western blot analysis toward full-length MAP2191 protein and its truncation only demonstrated Mce/truncated protein. The concurrence of in-silico prediction of primary structure of MAP2191 protein results along with experimental results confirmed that expression of Mce/whole protein was affected by the hydrophobicity nature of this protein. Our data support the hypothesis that the presence of hydrophobic regions in protein structure can influence the level of recombinant protein expression. This stresses the importance of gene selection and the protein sequence checking of the hydrophobic content in any protein purification project in order to achieve a large amount of desirable proteins.

Identification and characterization of a gene encoding a 35-kDa protein from Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis is the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic enteritis in ruminants. A gene homologous to that of 35-kDa antigen of Mycobacterium leprae was cloned and sequenced from Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. The database searches revealed 82.79% and 95.67% similarities of its nucleotide sequence, with those of immunodominant 35-kDa protein of M. le...

The Mycobacterium avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Dilemma

The purpose of this paper is to present and update the longitudinal perspective of the Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis dilemma as initially stated in Infectious Diseases Incorporated’s 2012 White Paper. In both wild and domestic herbivores, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) produces chronic granulomatous enteritis (Johne’s disease) that, if unchecked, is usua...

Lateral gene transfer in Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis.

Lateral gene transfer is an integral part of genome evolution in most bacteria. Bacteria can readily change the contents of their genomes to increase adaptability to ever-changing surroundings and to generate evolutionary novelty. Here, we report instances of lateral gene transfer in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, a pathogenic bacteria that causes Johne's disease in cattle. A set ...

Strain diversity within Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis--a review.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), is the etiological agent of Johne's disease (or paratuberculosis) in animals and has also been linked with Crohn's disease of human beings. Extreme fastidious nature of the organism (MAP) has hampered studies on diversity within the organism. Studies based on phenotypic properties like growth rate, pigmentation, lipid profile etc., are unab...
