Structure determination of lipopeptides from Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis and identification of antigenic lipopeptide probes.


ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes chronic illnesses mostly in ruminants. MAP infection of intestinal tissue triggers a fatal inflammatory disorder, Johne's disease (paratuberculosis). Development of fast and reliable diagnostic methods for Johne's disease in clinically suspected ruminants requires the discovery of MAP-specific antigens that induce immune responses. Despite a longtime interest in finding such antigens that can detect serum antibody responses with high sensitivity, the antigens currently used for a diagnosis of the MAP infections are the crude extracts from the whole cell. We performed the serum antibody response assay-guided purification of the ethanol extract from MAP isolated from an infected cow. With the results of extensive fractionations and in vitro assays, we identified that arachidyl-d-Phe-N-Me-l-Val-l-Ile-l-Phe-l-Ala-OH (named lipopeptide IIß, 3) exhibited the highest antibody binding activity in serum of a MAP-infected cattle compared with the other lipopeptides isolated from MAP. The absolute chemistry of 3 was determined unequivocally via our high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-amino acid databases. ?-Amino lipopeptide IIß and its fluorescent probes were synthesized and evaluated in serum antibody binding activity assays. Lipopeptide IIß-(2S)-NH2 (9) and its dansyl and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) probes (10 and 11) exhibited antibody-mediated binding activity; thus, such MAP-specific lipopeptide probes can be potential biomarkers for the development of rapid and accurate diagnosis of Johne's disease.
