A recombinant version of the AGAAN antimicrobial peptide (rAGAAN) was cloned, expressed, and purified in this study. Its antibacterial potency and stability in harsh environments were thoroughly investigated. A 15 kDa soluble rAGAAN was effectively expressed in . The purified rAGAAN exhibited a broad antibacterial spectrum and was efficacious against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rAGAAN against the growth of (TISTR 745) was as low as 60 µg/ml. Membrane permeation assay reveals that the integrity of the bacterial envelope is compromised. In addition, rAGAAN was resistant to temperature shock and maintained a high degree of stability throughout a reasonably extensive pH range. The bactericidal activity of rAGAAN ranged from 36.26 to 79.22% in the presence of pepsin and proteases. Lower bile salt concentrations had no significant effect on the function of the peptide, whereas higher concentrations induced resistance. Additionally, rAGAAN exhibited minimal hemolytic activity against red blood cells. This study indicated that rAGAAN may be produced on a large scale in and that it had an excellent antibacterial activity and sufficient stability. This first work to express biologically active rAGAAN in yielded 8.01 mg/ml at 16 °C/150 rpm for 18 h in Luria Bertani (LB) medium supplemented with 1% glucose and induced with 0.5 mM IPTG. It also assesses the interfering factors that influence the activity of the peptide, demonstrating its potential for research and therapy of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
在本研究中克隆、表达并纯化了抗菌肽AGAAN的重组形式(rAGAAN)。对其抗菌效力和在恶劣环境中的稳定性进行了深入研究。一种15 kDa的可溶性rAGAAN在……中有效表达。纯化后的rAGAAN展现出广谱抗菌活性,对7种革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌均有效。rAGAAN对……(泰国科学技术研究所745株)生长的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)低至60 μg/ml。膜渗透试验表明细菌包膜的完整性受到破坏。此外,rAGAAN对温度冲击具有抗性,并且在相当宽的pH范围内保持高度稳定性。在胃蛋白酶和蛋白酶存在的情况下,rAGAAN的杀菌活性范围为36.26%至79.22%。较低的胆汁盐浓度对该肽的功能没有显著影响,而较高浓度会诱导抗性。此外,rAGAAN对红细胞的溶血活性极小。本研究表明rAGAAN可以在……中大规模生产,并且具有优异的抗菌活性和足够的稳定性。在补充有1%葡萄糖并以0.5 mM异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导的Luria Bertani(LB)培养基中,于16°C/150 rpm培养18小时,首次在……中表达具有生物活性的rAGAAN的产量为8.01 mg/ml。它还评估了影响该肽活性的干扰因素,证明了其在多重耐药细菌感染研究和治疗中的潜力。
