Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogen, which can cause food-borne diseases such as human gastroenteritis.V.parahaemolyticus has many virulence factors and thermolabile hemolysin (TLH) is one of them.In this study, the tlh gene of V.parahaemolyticus was cloned and sequenced, and the bioinformatics analysis and structural and functional prediction of TLH protein were carried out. Results showed that the TLH consisted of 418 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 47.36 kDa.Several conserved domains and motifs were identified in TLH protein, including SGNH hydrolase domain and GDSL motif.Based on the homologous modeling and verification of the three-dimensional structure of TLH protein, the stability of TLH protein, the interaction ability with 4-nitrophenyl laurate and the influence of binding substrate on the structure compactness and residue flexibility were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation.It was revealed that the periphery of the catalytic triad Ser153-His390-Asp393 is an important drug target active pocket with highly conserved residue sequences, and the residues showed flexibility difference after substrate binding.This study analyzed the properties and structure of V.parahaemolyticus TLH, which can provide theoretical support for ensuring the safety of aquatic products and improving the safety evaluation level of aquatic raw materials.
