摘要： Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a major cause of reproductive failure in swine and has caused substantial losses throughout the world. Viral protein 2 (VP2) of PPV is a major structural protein that can self-assemble into virus-like particles (VLP) with hemagglutination (HA) activity. In order to identify the essential residues involved in the mechanism of capsid assembly and to further understand the function of HA, we analyzed a series of deletion mutants and site-directed mutations within the N-terminal of VP2 using the Escherichia coli system. Our results showed that deletion of the first 47 amino acids from the N-terminal of the VP2 protein did not affect capsid assembly, and further truncation to residue 48 Asparagine (Asn, N) caused detrimental effects. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that residue 47Asn reduced the assembly efficiency of PPV VLP, while residue 48Asn destroyed the stability, hemagglutination, and self-assembly characteristics of the PPV VP2 protein. Results from native PAGE inferred that macromolecular polymers were critical intermediates of the VP2 protein during the capsid assembly process. Site-directed mutation at 48Asn did not affect the ability of monomers to form into oligomers, but destroyed the ability of oligomers to assemble into macromolecular particles, influencing both capsid assembly and HA activity. Our findings provide valuable information on the mechanisms of PPV capsid assembly and the possibility of chimeric VLP vaccine development by replacing the first 47 amino acids at the N-terminal of the VP2 protein.
