Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogenic bacterium that causes infectious disease in humans as well as in animals. It causes foodborne diarrheal or gastrointestinal illness and fever called salmonellosis, which is a leading cause of millions of deaths worldwide. Salmonellaenterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) during its pathogenesis take away the actin cytoskeleton of their host cells and this is the crucial step of its infection cycle. Cyclophilin A, a type of peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that’s encoded by the ppiA gene in ST, plays pleiotropic roles in maintaining bacterial physiology. In this investigation, the proteomic characterization of the peptidyl-prolyl cis–trans isomerase- A (Cyclophilin A) from Salmonella Typhimurium is reported. Cyclophilin A (CypA) protein from Salmonella Typhimurium proved to be highly conserved and homologous protein sequence compared to other organisms. This protein was expressed in Escherichia coli followed by its purification in a recombinant form protein exhibited a characteristic PPIases activity (Vmax = 0.8752 ± 0.13892 µmoles/min, Km = 0.9315 ± 0.5670 µM) in comparison to control. The mass spectrometry analysis of Cyp A protein-peptide showed a highest sequence similarity with the cyclophilin protein of Salmonella. PPIases proteins (enzyme) data suggest that Ppi-A has roles in the protein folding that may be contributing to the virulence of Salmonella by isomerization of protein outline. These results suggest an active and vital role of this protein in protein folding along with regulation in Salmonella Typhimurium.
