Аннотация:The recombinant protein 6His-RBDshort was synthesized in Escherichia coli cells, including the RBM (receptor-binding motif) of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (330-527 а.а.). The two-stage chromatographic purification of the recombinant protein 6His-RBDshort followed by multi-stage refolding was performed. Enzyme immunoassay demonstrated effective interaction of the recombinant protein 6His-RBDshort with virus neutralizing antibodies, comparable to eukaryotic protein eRBD. The antiviral activity study showed inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 virus replication after Vero E6 cells treatment with 6His-RBDshort (45.1%) and eRBD (42.8%) proteins. The recombinant protein 6His-RBDlong obtained in the same work, including a longer RBD region, did not interact with virus neutralizing antibodies and did not inhibit the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The developed recombinant protein 6His-RBDshort is a promising drug for therapeutic use as an ACE2 receptor blocker after additional studies.
