Preserving immunogenicity of lethally irradiated viral and bacterial vaccine epitopes using a radio- protective Mn2+-Peptide complex from Deinococcus.

ABSTRACT: Although pathogen inactivation by ?-radiation is an attractive approach for whole-organism vaccine development, radiation doses required to ensure sterility also destroy immunogenic protein epitopes needed to mount protective immune responses. We demonstrate the use of a reconstituted manganous peptide complex from the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans to protect protein epitopes from radiation-induced damage and uncouple it from genome damage and organism killing. The Mn(2+) complex preserved antigenic structures in aqueous preparations of bacteriophage lambda, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and Staphylococcus aureus during supralethal irradiation (25-40 kGy). An irradiated vaccine elicited both antibody and Th17 responses, and induced B and T cell-dependent protection against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in mice. Structural integrity of viruses and bacteria are shown to be preserved at radiation doses far above those which abolish infectivity. This approach could expedite vaccine production for emerging and established pathogens for which no protective vaccines exist.

Project description:Nucleoids have been purified from Deinococcus deserti and Deinococcus radiodurans cells subjected to irradiation and short recovery (six replicates for each strain). The nucleoids have been analyzed by shotgun proteomics as described in Toueille M et al (2012) J Proteomics. Comparative proteomics pointed at specific proteins recruited at the nucleoids during the recovery stage after DNA damages produced by the irradiation. Data processing and bioinformatics: Peak lists were generated with the MASCOT DAEMON software (version 2.2.2) from Matrix Science using the extract_msn.exe data import filter (ThermoFisher) from the Xcalibur FT package (version 2.0.7) from ThermoFisher. Data import filter options were set at: 400 (minimum mass), 5000 (maximum mass), 0 (grouping tolerance), 0 (intermediate scans), and 1000 (threshold). Using the MASCOT search engine (version 2.2.04) from Matrix Science, we searched all MS/MS spectra against in-house polypeptide sequence databases. For Deinococcus radiodurans MS/MS assignments, the database contained i) the sequence of all currently annotated proteins coded by D. radiodurans BAA-816 genome (2629 proteins from chromosome 1 (NC_001263), 368 proteins from chromosome 2 (NC_001264), 130 proteins from plasmid MP1 (NC_000958), and 35 proteins from plasmid CP1 (NC_000958)), ii) 28 manual protein sequence curations from D. radiodurans R1, and iii) 121 additional ORF sequences predicted by the CONSORF consensus prediction system.This database thus comprises 3,311 polypeptide sequences, totaling 1,006,757 amino acids. For Deinococcus deserti MS/MS assignments, the database contained the sequence of all annotated proteins coded by D. deserti VCD115 chromosome and plasmids. This database comprises 3,455 polypeptide sequences, totaling 1,083,334 amino acids. Searches for tryptic peptides were performed with the following parameters: full-trypsin specificity, a mass tolerance of 10 ppm on the parent ion and 0.5 Da on the MS/MS, static modifications of carboxyamidomethylated Cys (+57.0215), and dynamic modifications of oxidized Met (+15.9949). The maximum number of missed cleavages was set at 1. All peptide matches with a peptide score below a stringent P value of 0.001 were filtered by the IRMa 1.18.1 parser. A protein was considered validated when at least two different peptides were detected in the same experiment. False-positives rate for protein identification was estimated using the appropriate decoy database as below 0.1% with these parameters.
