 es Obtencion y purificacion de neuraminidasa de Vibrio cholerae check for this species in other resources O1

Resumen

La neuraminidasa, una enzima secretada por Vibrio cholerae check for this species in other resources O1, es considerada un factor de virulencia por aumentar el numero de receptores a la toxina de este microorganismo en los enterocitos. Ademas, esta enzima es de amplio uso en las investigaciones con sialocompuestos, para el esclarecimiento de la participacion de los restos de acido sialico en diferentes funciones biologicas. En el presente trabajo comparamos los niveles de expresion de esta enzima por 5 cepas de diferentes biotipos y serotipos de V. cholerae O1. Se selecciono la cepa 569B (Biotipo Clasico, Serotipo Inaba) como la mas productora, y a partir de ella se establecio un protocolo de purificacion que incluyo: precipitacion con sulfato de amonio al pH de menor solubilidad de la proteina, y cromatografias de filtracion en gel (Sefacril S-200HR) e intercambio ionico (Q-Sefarosa FF). Estos pasos suministraron la enzima con un rendimiento del 30 % y un nivel de pureza del 98 % determinado por gel-filtracion en HPLC. La neuraminidasa obtenida fue utilizada para el tratamiento de sueros humanos previo a la prueba de inhibicion de la hemaglutinacion con virus influenza tipo B. La enzima fue efectiva en la eliminacion de inhibidores inespecificos de los sueros y dio resultados similares a los de una neuraminidasa comercial utilizada como control.

Abstract

Neuraminidase, a secreted enzyme from Vibrio cholerae check for this species in other resources O1, is considered a virulence factor, because it increases the number of cholera toxin's receptors in the gut. Besides, this protein is widely used in investigations involving sialocompounds, in order to know the role of sialic acid residues in different biologic functions. In this work we compared neuraminidase expression levels in 5 V. cholerae O1 strains from different biotypes and serotypes. The 569B strain (Biotype Classic, Serotype Inaba) had the highest level and with this strain we designed a purification procedure that included: ammonium sulphate precipitation combined with pH of minimum solubility of the protein, gel-filtration chromatography (Sephacryl S-200HR), and finally ion-exchange chromatography (Q-Sepharose FF). This scheme gave us a 30 % of recovery with 98 % purity as determined by gel-filtration in HPLC. Purified neuraminidase was used for the pre-treatment of human sera previous to a hemagglutination- inhibition test with influenza type B virus. The enzyme was effective in the removal of non-specific inhibitors of the sera and it yielded similar results that a standard neuraminidase from a commercial source.
