摘要: Outbreaks of hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome caused by fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) with a novel genotype have been reported in China since 2015, with significant economic losses to the poultry industry. Fiber2 is one of the important structural proteins on FAdV-4 virions. In this study, the C-terminal knob domain of the FAdV-4 Fiber2 protein was expressed and purified, and its trimer structure (PDB ID: 7W83) was determined for the first time. A series of affinity peptides targeting the knob domain of the Fiber2 protein were designed and synthesized on the basis of the crystal structure using computer virtual screening technology. A total of eight peptides were screened using an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay and RT-qPCR, and they exhibited strong binding affinities to the knob domain of the FAdV-4 Fiber2 protein in a surface plasmon resonance assay. Treatment with peptide number 15 (P15; WWHEKE) at different concentrations (10, 25, and 50 mu M) significantly reduced the expression level of the Fiber2 protein and the viral titer during FAdV-4 infection. P15 was found to be an optimal peptide with antiviral activity against FAdV-4 in vitro with no cytotoxic effect on LMH cells up to 200 mu M. This study led to the identification of a class of affinity peptides designed using computer virtual screening technology that targeted the knob domain of the FAdV-4 Fiber2 protein and may be developed as a novel potential and effective antiviral strategy in the prevention and control of FAdV-4.
