There is a summary of the background of vp1 and vp7 protein-related parts. To the production of the combined vaccine, we searched the iGEM Biological Parts library for similar fragments of EV71 and RV, and selected BBa_K4004001, vp-1. This is a basic part built by iGEM21_Shanghai_Metropolis team in 2021, they tried to fuse vp-1 with vaccine adjuvant LTB, protein expression. We further screened for part BBa_K3992000, vp7, submitted by the iGEM21_Shanghai_high_school team to add some basic sequence information.

Compared to the 2021 oral vaccine project o, we designed the plasmid pET28a-GLBP-vp7-vp1-GFP which combines vp1 with vp7 antigens. In addition, the antigen also fused a membrane-bound protein GLBP to allow the antigens to display on the bacterial surface. Meanwhile, to facilitate the detection of vp7-vp1 localization in bacteria, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) was added. Eventually, we detected the GFP fluorescence signal, indicating that IPTG-induced protein GLBP-vp7-vp1-GFP successfully expressed. The results showed that the main antigens vp1 of EV71 and vp7 of RV were co-expressed fused with GLBP and expressed on the surface of bacteria to obtain a combined bivalent vaccine. This innovative idea is feasible. In the future, we will let the protein GLBP-vp7-vp1-GFP into Lactobacilli Bifidobacteria, made of an oral bivalent vaccine. It not only can improve the vaccination rate but also does not need to be vaccinated professionals, which the consumption of social resources is lower.

=== Usage and biology ===
 +
The researches indicate that the major capsid protein vp1 is the main component of the polyomavirus capsid and the main antigens of EV71. vp1 monomers are typically about 350 amino acids in length and can self-assemble into icosahedral structures consisting of 72 pentamers of 360 vp1 molecules. A capsid protein, vp7, is the main antigens of RV, early studies using sera from hyperimmunized animals in cross-neutralization assays described some different serotypes that were found to infect humans and animals based on the vp7 protein. GLBP is a membrane protein belonging to the family of ATP-binding cassette transport proteins. It is widely expressed in the cell wall of wild-type Bifidobacteria and actively transports specific substances across the cell membrane of all organisms using the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Antigens expressed in fusion with GLBP can induce mucosal immunity and immune memory. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a fluorescent tag that facilitates the detection of vp7-vp1 localization on Bifidobacteria.

Our goal is to produce vp1 and vp7 combined vaccine to protect infants from these two viruses. In addition, the oral method is much more convenient, which can not only improve the vaccination rate, but also does not require professionals to vaccinate, and the consumption of social resources is lower.

After the pET28a plasmids were digested, we used electrophoresis to confirm whether the cleavage was thorough. In vivo, linear (cleaved) plasmids travel a shorter distance compared to circular plasmids due to the more friction.

vp1


Profile

Name: vp1

Base Pairs: 891bp

Origin: Enterovirus 71,genome

Properties: Vp1 is the main antigen gene of the EV71 virus

Usage and Biology

Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71). The virus is an important pathogenic factor of hand, foot and mouth disease. BBa_K4004001 is a coding sequence of from E. coli. Vp1 protein is the viral capsid protein and promotes the infection of host cells by virus particles. Vp1 is also the main antigen gene of the EV71 virus.


Experimental approach

Firstly, to amplify VP1 fragments from pUC57-VP1, we added VP1-FP and VP1-RP into two tubes to amplify VP1 fragments.

To confirm whether we successfully amplified the fragment, we ran the electrophoresis of the fragment. We then scanned the gel, compared the strong bands with the markers, and identified VP1 fragment on the gel.


Figure 1. Gel electrophoresis of VP1 fragments after PCR...


Conclusion: Theoretically, VP1 fragment is 891bp in length. Compared with the markers, the strong bands all fit in the right range, so it proved that our PCR of fragment was successful, and we could continue our experiments. Then we put vp1 fragment into plasmid pGEX to get a recombinant plasmid pGEX-vp1 and we performed functional test on this recombinant plasmid.

Proof of function

SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining for whole bacteria, supernate, and precipitation

We transformed pGEX-6P-1-VP1 into E.coli BL21 respectively and incubated them. Firstly, we ran a PAGE gel of the whole bacteria, supernate, and precipitation of E.coli BL21 and then stained the gel through Coomassie Brilliant Blue Staining.


Figure 2. PAGE gel of GST, GST-VP1 and GST-VP1-LTB after staining(W: whole bacteria; S: supernatant; P: precipitation)...


Conclusion: After Coomassie Brilliant Blue Staining, we found that the extent of the brightness of the band in the P group was comparable to that in the W group, while the band in the S group was nearly invisible. In other words, GST, GST-VP1 had all been successfully expressed by E.coli BL21, and they mainly existed in the precipitation in the form of inclusion body.


Due to the relatively low rate of growth and efficiency of electroporation of L. casei, our team first transformed E. coli BL21, which is commonly used in plasmids transformation, to verify the expression and antigencity of VP1 protein.

Expression optimization

In order to find the optimum condition under which the proteins were expressed the most, we selected bacteria solution of different concentration (OD600=0.5/0.6/0.8/1), and inducted them with IPTG solution of different concentration (IPTG=1mM/10mM). Then we ran a PAGE gel of them and then marked the proteins with Coomassie Brilliant Blue Staining Solution. To visualize and compare the expression of proteins under different conditions, we used the software ImageJ to quantify specific bands on the gel, collected and arranged the data, and constructed a broken line graph with OD600 the x- axis and the gray value as the y-axis.

We added IPTG to induce protein expression when the OD600 reached 0.3-0.5. After overnight induction and culture, we collected the cells and ultrasonic fragmentation of cells to release the intracellular proteins pET28a-GLBP-vp7-vp1-GFP.

In addition, the IPTG concentration has a significant influence on the GFP intensity during the cultivation. Concentration of IPTG in 0.25 to 10 mM has a little effect on the protein expression. However, higher concentration of IPTG (10 mM) increased the GFP intensity.
