Tat(1-101)血清对文库筛选后，包含2个碱性区片段的单克隆在文库中所占的比例由筛选前的56%下降到4%，而包含单个碱性区片段的单克隆在文库中所占的比例由筛选前的39%上升到91%。与此结果相类似，兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101)血清对文库筛选后，包含2个碱性区片段的单克隆在文库中所占的比例由筛选前的56%下降到0，而包含单个碱性区片段的单克隆在文库中所占的比例由筛选前的39%上升到87%。理论上，通过连接肽串联重复多个碱性区片段形成的大分子多肽，由于亲和力的关系，抗原表位重复次数多具有选择性优势，容易被进化筛选获得。但两轮筛选后片段结构的变化，似乎说明碱性区中51N-55N-(SNN)6较大分子多肽对中和反应具有更重要的作用。序列鉴定分析显示:PET32 - Tat(1-101)血清对文库两轮筛选后的单克隆中，碱性区片段与载体反向连接的比例达到50%，兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101)血清对文库两轮筛选后的单克隆中，碱性区片段与载体反向连接的比例只有6%，说明兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101)血清对Tat(38-61)肽段的亲和力要高于PET32 - Tat(1-101)血清，这也与理论相符，因为PET32 - Tat(1-101)血清中除了包含针对碱性区的抗体，还包含了针对N-端区(1-22)的抗体，而PET32 - Tat(38-101)血清只包含了针对碱性区的抗体。兔抗PET32 - Tat(1-101)血清第二轮筛选后的正确连接单克隆中，51N和55N有更多比例的脯氨酸（P）。而兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101)血清第三轮筛选后的正确连接单克隆中，筛选到两种序列，51N-55N-(SNN)6分别是为P-D- MNKNE*(*为终止密码子)和Q-S-*KRKMN(*为终止密码子)。综上所述，我们成功用两种兔抗血清对文库进行了筛选，并用亲和力更强的兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101) 血清进行三轮筛选后获得两种51N-55N-(SNN)6代表性序列。本课题构建了pET32a-tat(38-61)原核表达质粒并纯化鉴定了Tat(38-61)融合蛋白的免疫原性,为后续使用兔抗Tat血清对碱性区突变体文库筛选奠定了基础；成功构建了HIV-1 株Tat38-61(51N/55N)碱性区突变体文库并用两种兔抗血清PET32 - Tat(38-101) 和PET32 - Tat(1-101)对文库进行了筛选，通过亲和力更强的兔抗PET32 - Tat(38-101) 血清对文库第三轮筛选后，获得了51N-55N-(SNN)6两种代表性序列P-D- MNKNE*(*为终止密码子)和Q-S-*KRKMN(*为终止密码子)。本研究尝试应用以噬菌体展示技术为基础的分子进化手段对HIV-1 株Tat碱性区进行改造和筛选，为生物大分子的结构和功能研究以及新型疫苗研发策略提供了一新的可行途径。【关键词】HIV-1 Tat，碱性区，随机突变，噬菌体展示，亲和筛选第二军医大学硕士学位论文 英文摘要ABSTRACTHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is attributed to the slow Retroviridae virus, spreading mainly through blood, sexual contact or mother to child such as vertical channels, which can cause Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). At present, HIV infection has become a major public health problem which has to be faced by the world. Developing an effective HIV vaccine is an important means of prevention and control of AIDS. Therefore, it is very important for exploring new strategies and finding new vaccine targets on the success of the vaccine research and development.HIV-1 Tat (trans-activator of transcription) is a key viral regulatory protein emerged in the early stage of HIV infection, and is necessary for viral replication, spreading and pathogenesis. After infecting target cells, the Tat generated in cytoplasm can reach the nucleus and bind with some Transcription factors to form the transcription initiation complex (TIC), which can promote transcription, extension and replication of the viral RNA. In addition, Tat can also be secreted from infected cells into the extracellular with a variety of ways in order to play a virus toxins role:playing an immunosuppressive function By inducing CD4 + T cells, NK cells or apoptosis B cells; promoting the formation of Kaposis sarcoma (KS) through some ways ,such as activating HHV-8 replication via JAK / STAT signal transduction, or binding the RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) with v3 and 51 integrins of the endothelial cells; promoting the incidence of HIV encephalopathy through affecting calcium flow in the nerves cells or inducing the expression of TGF-, TNF and other neurological toxic substances. Tat basic amino acid-rich region (49-57aa) is the base sequence of functioning the trans-membrane and nuclear localization, and is also one of the main neutralization epitope. Its neutralizing antibody can eliminate the penetration of other cells, which can prevent the occurrence of AIDS and immune suppression. In addition, Tat basic region sequences highly conserved among the various subtypes, which is conducive to creating a broader cross-reactivity antibodies. In This study we construct and screen of Tat basic region using phage display technology platform, and build the mutant peptide fragment library connected by random Linkers, and then screen the library using anti-Tat rabbit serum in order to obtain the original sequence of novel immunogen.1. Expression and immunogenicity analysis of HIV-1 Tat(38-61) fusion proteinsFunctional studies have shown that Tat protein basic region (49-57aa) is playing an important role for trans-membrane function and extracellular activities mediated by Tat. Structural studies have shown that: Tat is a natural non-folded protein, and its concept is extremely unstable, so its not an ideal antigen. In addition, Tat basic region has only nine amino acids (49-57aa), in order not to destroy the epitope we have maintained the Tat core region 38-48aa. The Tat basic region of 38-61 fragment was built into the prokaryotic expression vector, then we purified Tat (38-61) fusion protein and tested their immunogenicity in order to analyze whether this important epitope is retained.The primers were designed according to the Tat sequence of HIV-1 strain and the preferred codons of E.coli. The tat(38-61) were synthesized in vitro by PCR and sequenced after inserted into pMD18-T vector by T/A cloning. Then the correct tat(38-61) was inserted into pET32a vector to construct prokaryotic expression plasmids pET32a-tat(38-61) and . The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) for expression .The fusion protein Tat(38-61) was expressed with relative molecular weight(MW) 21300 under induction of IPTG, purified by Ni-NTA column and testified with Two different anti-Tat rabbit serum and HIV-positive serum by ELISA. The results showed that: To exclude the interference of the carrier protein( PET32a), we identified Tat (38-61) expressed by the pET32a vector using rabbit anti-PEPTIDE-Tat (1-101) serum (the two vector sequence are no homology). The result shows that there is a specific reaction and the reactivity much lower than the native Tat, which is in line with expectations. To completely exclude the interference of the carrier protein ( PET32a), we identified Tat (38-61) using HIV-positive serum (containing only anti-Tat antibody). The result shows that both Tat (38-61) and the native Tat(1-101) have the same specific reaction trend. ELISA detection of the above results suggest that the neutralization epitope of Tat basic region has been preserved by Tat (38-61).To conclude, we successfully constructed and expressed Tat(38-61) fusion proteins, and its neutralization epitope of Tat basic region has been preserved, which laid the foundation on getting the antibodies against the basic region and screening phage display library . 2. Construction of HIV-1 tat38-61 (51N/55N) basic region mutant libraryStudies have shown that after two important sites（51K and 55R）of the Tat basic region are mutated, the neutralization epitop is not destroyed, and the activity of Tat trans-membrane and extracellular toxicity disappeared or were greatly reduced. In addition, construction of conformable large molecule mutation library is pivotal for molecular evolution study in vitro. In order to extend the range of the screening region of amino acid in Tat basic region gene, the 51K and 55R were mutated randomly by overlap PCR amplification with the random nucleotide primers. At the same time we add to six random linker (SNN) 6 after the basic region 38-61, which not only expand the library of variants, but also help to generate a stable conformation of the novel immunogen.Through four rounds of PCR we got the tat38-61 (51N/55N) mutant fragments, and cloned into phage display vector pCANTAB5S-LD3 after digested by Xba I . then we constructed HIV-1 strain Tat38-61 (51N/55N) basic region mutant library .The phage displayed library was generated by M13K07 rescue. After detection we found that as much as 5.0106 clones were obtainded in the phage library and the titer was 2.651012 TU/ml. About 70% clones contained inserted Tat basic region 38-61(51N/55N) fragments. Sequence analysis of 14 samples showed that nucleotide acids and amino acids at randomized 51N-55N-(SNN)6 sites distributed randomly In summary, we have successfully constructed HIV-1 strain Tat38-61 (51N/55N) basic region mutant library, and its storage capacity, diversity and randomization is all to meet the requirements of library construction.3. Affinity screening of HIV-1 tat38-61 (51N/55N) basic region mutant libraryThrough the first part of this study we know that the neutralization epitope of Tat basic region has been preserved. By using two kinds of rabbit anti-sera :PET32-Tat (38-101) and rabbit anti-PET32-Tat (1 -101), the phage libraries were screened and positive mutant clones were enriched. After two rounds screening we might get the he original sequence of those enriched mutant clones which were stronger affinity, lower trans-membrane activity . Each round after the end of screening ,we identified the enriched mutant clones using PCR and sequence analysis.The results of PCR identification showed that: after two rounds screening by using rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (1-101) serum , from pre-screening to screening ,the proportion of the monoclonal containing two basic region fragments in the library is decreased from 56% to 4%, while the proportion of the monoclonal containing single basic region fragment in the library is increased from 39% to 91%; after two rounds screening by using rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (38-101) serum , from pre-screening to screening ,the proportion of the monoclonal containing two basic region fragments in the library is decreased from 56% to 0, while the proportion of the monoclonal containing single basic region fragment in the library is increased from 39% to 87%. In theory, the monoclonal containing two basic region fragments could easily be obtained through evolutionary selection because of a selective advantage. It seems to suggest that the mutant sites 51N-55N-(SNN) 6 is playing a more important role for containing the neutralization epitope of Tat basic region of large than repeated fragments. The results of sequence analysis showed that: after two rounds screening by using rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (1-101) serum , ratio of the reverse connecting between basic fragment and the vector is up to 50% .while the ratio is only 6% after two rounds screening by using rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (38-101) serum. It seems to suggest that anti-PET32 - Tat (38-101) serum has better affinity with Tat (38-61) than PET32 - Tat (1-101) serum, which is also consistent with the theory, as PET32 - Tat (1-101 ) serum contains two kinds of antibodies against the basic region and the N-terminal region (1-22), while PET32 - Tat (38-101) serum containing only antibodies against the basic region.the mutant sites 51N and 55N have a greater proportion of proline (P) in the correct monoclonal after two rounds of screening using Rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (1-101) serum. After three rounds of screening using Rabbit anti-PET32 - Tat (38-101) serum we got the two kinds of amino acid sequences of the mutant sites 51N-55N-(SNN) 6 : the P-D-MNKNE * (* for the stop codon ), and Q-S-* KRKMN (* for the stop codon).In summary, the phage library has been successfully screened using two kinds of rabbit anti-serum, and we got the two kinds of sequences of the mutant sites 51N-55N-(SNN) 6 representative sequence after three rounds
