In this\u0000study, we aimed to discover suitable signal peptides for producing RTX-A in Bacillus\u0000subtilis in a secretory form.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Signal peptides were selected from the Signal Peptide Web Server. The probability and secretion pathways of the selected signal peptides were evaluated using the\u0000SignalP server. ProtParam and Protein-sol were used to predict the physico-chemical\u0000properties and solubility. AlgPred was used to predict the allergenicity of RTX-A linked\u0000to suitable signal peptides. Non-allergenic, stable, and soluble signal peptides fused to\u0000proteins were chosen, and their secondary and tertiary structures were predicted using\u0000GOR IV and I-TASSER, respectively. The PROCHECK server performed the validation\u0000of 3D structures.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000According to bioinformatics analysis, the fusion forms of OSMY_ECOLI and\u0000MALE_ECOLI linked to RTX-A were identified as suitable signal peptides. The final\u0000proteins with signal peptides were stable, soluble, and non-allergenic for the human body.\u0000Moreover, they had appropriate secondary and tertiary structures.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The signal above peptides appears ideal for rationalizing secretory and soluble RTX-A. Therefore, the signal peptides found in this study should be further investigated through experimental research.\u0000","PeriodicalId":21064,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139446514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
