A novel vaccine construct against Zika virus fever: insights from epitope-based vaccine discovery through molecular modeling and immunoinformatics approaches. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1426496.

Abstract
The Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus associated with the Flaviviridae family that mainly causes infection in pregnant women and leads to several abnormalities during pregnancy. This virus has unique properties that may lead to pathological diseases. As the virus has the ability to evade immune response, a crucial effort is required to deal with ZIKV. Vaccines are a safe means to control different pathogenic infectious diseases. In the current research, a multi-epitope-based vaccination against ZIKV is being designed using in silico methods. For the epitope prediction and prioritization phase, ZIKV polyprotein (YP_002790881.1) and flavivirus polyprotein (>YP_009428568.1) were targeted. The predicted B-cell epitopes were used for MHC-I and MHC-II epitope prediction. Afterward, several immunoinformatics filters were applied and nine (REDLWCGSL, MQDLWLLRR, YKKSGITEV, TYTDRRWCF, RDAFPDSNS, KPSLGLINR, ELIGRARVS, AITQGKREE, and EARRSRRAV) epitopes were found to be probably antigenic in nature, non-allergenic, non-toxic, and water soluble without any toxins. Selected epitopes were joined using a particular GPGPG linker to create the base vaccination for epitopes, and an extra EAAAK linker was used to link the adjuvant. A total of 312 amino acids with a molecular weight (MW) of 31.62762 and an instability value of 34.06 were computed in the physicochemical characteristic analysis, indicating that the vaccine design is stable. The molecular docking analysis predicted a binding energy of -329.46 (kcal/mol) for TLR-3 and -358.54 (kcal/mol) for TLR-2. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulation analysis predicted that the vaccine and receptor molecules have stable binding interactions in a dynamic environment. The C-immune simulation analysis predicted that the vaccine has the ability to generate both humoral and cellular immune responses. Based on the design, the vaccine construct has the best efficacy to evoke immune response in theory, but experimental analysis is required to validate the in silico base approach and ensure its safety.

Abstract
Millions of people's lives are being devastated by dengue virus (DENV), a severe tropical and subtropical illness spread by mosquitoes and other vectors. Dengue fever may be self-limiting like a common cold or can rapidly progress to catastrophic dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. With four distinct dengue serotypes (DENV1-4), each with the potential to contain antibody-boosting complicated mechanisms, developing a dengue vaccine has been an ambitious challenge. Here, we used a computational pan-vaccinomics-based vaccine design strategy (reverse vaccinology) for all 4 DENV serotypes acquired from different regions of the world to develop a new and safe vaccine against DENV. Consequently, only five mapped epitopes from all the 4 serotypes were shown to be extremely effective for the construction of multi-epitope vaccine constructs. The suggested vaccine construct V5 from eight vaccine models was thus classified as an antigenic, non-allergenic, and stable vaccine model. Moreover, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation was performed for the V5 vaccine candidate against the HLAs and TRL2 and 4 immunological receptors. Later, the vaccine sequence was transcribed into the cDNA to generate an expression vector for the Escherichia coli K12 strain. Our research suggests that this vaccine design (V5) has promising potential as a dengue vaccine. However, further experimental analysis into the vaccine's efficacy might be required for the V5 proper validation to combat all DENV serotypes.

Abstract
Moraxella lacunata is an emerging gram-negative bacterium that is responsible for multiple nosocomial infections. The bacterium is evolving resistance to several antibiotics, and currently, no effective licensed vaccines are available, which warrants the search for new therapeutics. A multi-epitope-based vaccine has been designed for M. lacunata. The complete proteome of M. lacunata contains 10,110 core proteins. Subcellular localization analysis revealed the presence of five proteins in the extracellular matrix, while 19 proteins were predicted to be located in the outer membrane, and 21 proteins were predicted to be located in the periplasmic region. Only two proteins, the type VI secretion system tube protein (Hcp) and the transporter substrate-binding domain-containing protein, were selected for epitope prediction as they fulfilled all the criteria for being potential vaccine candidates. Shortlisted epitopes from the selected proteins were fused together using "GPGPG" linkers to overcome the limitations of single-epitope vaccines. Next, the cholera toxin-B adjuvant was attached to the peptide epitope using an EAAAK linker. Docking analysis was performed to examine the interaction between the vaccine and immune cell receptors, revealing robust intermolecular interactions and a stable binding conformation. Molecular dynamics simulation findings revealed no drastic changes in the binding conformation of complexes during the simulation period. The net binding free energy of vaccine-receptor complexes was estimated using the molecular mechanics energies combined with the Poisson-Boltzmann and surface area continuum solvation (MM-PBSA) method. The reported values were -586.38 kcal/mol, -283.74 kcal/mol, and -296.88 kcal/mol for the TLR-4-vaccine complex, MHC-I-vaccine complex, and MHC-II-vaccine complex, respectively. Furthermore, the molecular mechanics energies combined with the generalized Born and surface area continuum solvation (MM-GBSA) analysis predicted binding free energies of -596.69 kcal/mol, -287.39 kcal/mol, and -298.28 kcal/mol for the TLR-4-vaccine complex, MHC-I-vaccine complex, and MHC-II-vaccine complex, respectively. The theoretical vaccine design proposed in the study could potentially serve as a powerful therapeutic against targeted pathogens, subject to validation through experimental studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Rickettsia prowazekii is an intracellular, obligate, gram-negative coccobacillus responsible for epidemic typhus. Usually, the infected body louse or its excrement when rubbed into the skin abrasions transmits the disease. The infection with R. prowazekii causes the highest death rate (> 20% without antibiotic treatment and now 1-7%), followed by epidemic typhus, which often manifests in unsanitary conditions (up to 15-30%). Conventionally, vaccine design has required pathogen growth and both assays (in vivo and in vitro), which are costly and time-consuming. However, advancements in bioinformatics and computational biology have accelerated the development of effective vaccine designs, reducing the need for traditional, time-consuming laboratory experiments. Subtractive genomics and reverse vaccinology have become prominent computational methods for vaccine model construction. Therefore, the RefSeq sequence of Rickettsia prowazekii (strain Madrid E) (Proteome ID: UP000002480) was subjected to subtractive genomic analysis, including factors such as non-similarity to host proteome, essentiality, subcellular localization, antigenicity, non-allergenicity, and stability. Based on these parameters, the vaccine design process selected specific proteins such as outer membrane protein R (O05971_RICPR PETR; OmpR). Eventually, the OmpR was subjected to a reverse vaccinology approach that included molecular docking, immunological simulation, and the discovery of B-cell epitopes and MHC-I and MHC-II epitopes. Consequently, a chimeric or multi-epitope-based vaccine was proposed by selecting the V11 vaccine and its 3D structure modeling along with molecular docking against TLR and HLA protein, in silico simulation, and vector designing. The obtained results from this investigation resulted in a new perception of inhibitory ways against Rickettsia prowazekii by instigating novel immunogenic targets. To further assess the efficacy and protective ability of the newly designed V11 vaccine against Rickettsia prowazekii infections, additional evaluation such as in vitro or in vivo immunoassays is recommended.

Abstract
In 2022, the ongoing multi-country outbreak of monkeypox virus-now occurring outside Africa, too is a global health concern. Monkeypox is a zoonotic virus, which causes disease mainly in animals, and then it is transferred to humans. Recently, in the monkeypox epidemic, a large number of human cases emerged while the global health community worked to tackle the outbreak and save lives. Herein, a multi-epitope-based vaccine is designed against monkeypox virus using two surface-associated proteins: MPXVgp002 accession number > YP_010377003.1 and MPXVgp008 accession number > YP_010377007.1 proteins. These proteins were utilized for B- and T-cell epitopes prediction. The epitopes were further screened, and the screen filtered KCKDNEYRSR, RSCNTTHNR, and RTRRETGAS with the antigenicity scores of 0.5279, 0.5604, and 0.7628, respectively. Overall, the epitopes can induce immunity in 99.74% population of the world. Further, GPGPG linkers were used for joining the epitopes and EAAAK linker was used for adjuvant attachment. It has a three-dimensional structure modelled for retaining the structural stability. Three pairs of amino acid residues that were able to make disulfide bonds were chosen: Gly1-Ser82, Cys7-Tyr10, and Phe51-Ile55. Molecular docking of vaccine was done with toll-like receptors, viz., 2, 3, 4, and 8 immune cell receptors. The docking results revealed that the vaccine as potential molecule due to its better binding affinity with toll-like receptors 2, 3, 4 and 8. Top complex in docking in with each receptor was selected based on lowest energy scores- -888.7 kcal/mol (TLR-2), -976.3 kcal/mol (TLR-3), -801.9 kcal/mol (TLR-4), and -955.4 kcal/mol (TLR-4)-were subjected to simulation. The docked complexes were evaluated in 500 ns of MD simulation. Throughout the simulation time, no significant deviation occurred. This confirmed that the vaccine as potential vaccine candidate to interact with immune cell receptors. This interaction is important for the immune system activation. In conclusion, the proposed vaccine construct against monkeypox could induce an effective immune response and speed up the vaccine development process. However, the study is completely based on the computational approach, hence, the experimental validation is required.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Proteus penneri (P. penneri) is a bacillus-shaped, gram-negative, facultative anaerobe bacterium that is primarily an invasive pathogen and the etiological agent of several hospital-associated infections. P. penneri strains are naturally resistant to macrolides, amoxicillin, oxacillin, penicillin G, and cephalosporins; in addition, no vaccines are available against these strains. This warrants efforts to propose a theoretical based multi-epitope vaccine construct to prevent pathogen infections. In this research, reverse vaccinology bioinformatics and immunoinformatics approaches were adopted for vaccine target identification and construction of a multi-epitope vaccine. In the first phase, a core proteome dataset of the targeted pathogen was obtained using the NCBI database and subjected to bacterial pan-genome analysis using bacterial pan-genome analysis (BPGA) to predict core protein sequences which were then used to find good vaccine target candidates. This identified two proteins, Hcp family type VI secretion system effector and superoxide dismutase family protein, as promising vaccine targets. Afterward using the IEDB database, different B-cell and T-cell epitopes were predicted. A set of four epitopes "KGSVNVQDRE, NTGKLTGTR, IIHSDSWNER, and KDGKPVPALK" were chosen for the development of a multi-epitope vaccine construct. A 183 amino acid long vaccine design was built along with "EAAAK" and "GPGPG" linkers and a cholera toxin B-subunit adjuvant. The designed vaccine model comprised immunodominant, non-toxic, non-allergenic, and physicochemical stable epitopes. The model vaccine was docked with MHC-I, MHC-II, and TLR-4 immune cell receptors using the Cluspro2.0 web server. The binding energy score of the vaccine was - 654.7 kcal/mol for MHC-I, - 738.4 kcal/mol for MHC-II, and - 695.0 kcal/mol for TLR-4. A molecular dynamic simulation was done using AMBER v20 package for dynamic behavior in nanoseconds. Additionally, MM-PBSA binding free energy analysis was done to test intermolecular binding interactions between docked molecules. The MM-GBSA net binding energy score was - 148.00 kcal/mol, - 118.00 kcal/mol, and - 127.00 kcal/mol for vaccine with TLR-4, MHC-I, and MHC-II, respectively. Overall, these in silico-based predictions indicated that the vaccine is highly promising in terms of developing protective immunity against P. penneri. However, additional experimental validation is required to unveil the real immune response to the designed vaccine.

Abstract
Proteus mirabilis is a gram-negative bacterium particularly known for its unique swarming ability. The swarming gives the bacteria ability to enhance adherence to the catheter surface and epithelium cells of the urethra to cause catheter associated urinary tract infections. P. mirabilis has evolved resistant to antibiotics. Additionally, there is an approved vaccine against P. mirabilis, thus demanding for identification of new vaccine targets. This gram-negative bacterium consists of 19,502 core proteins, out of which 19,063 are redundant proteins and remaining 439 are non-redundant proteins. The non-redundant proteins have 21 proteins present on the cell surface out of which 11 proteins are virulent. Antigenicity analysis predicted only 2 proteins as antigenic (fimbrial biogenesis outer membrane usher protein and ligand-gated channel protein). Four and seven B-cells epitopes were predicted from the former and later proteins, respectively. The predicted B-cells epitopes were used for T- cells epitopes prediction. The predicted epitopes were linked to each other through GPGPG linkers and joined with cholera toxin beta subunit adjuvant. A multi-epitopes vaccine construct consisting of 226 residues was docked with MHC-I, MHC-II and TLR-4. The best docked complex in each case has binding energy of -714.6, -744.6 and -829.5 kcal/mol, respectively. Moreover, the docking results were validated through molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energies estimation. The net energy of -137.2 kcal/mol was calculated for vaccine-MHC-I complex, -133.39 kcal/mol for vaccine-MHC-II and -158.68 kcal/mol for vaccine-TLR-4 complex. The designed vaccine construct could provoke immune responses against targeted pathogen and may be used in experimental testing.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:1264. [PMID: 37515079 PMCID: PMC10385262 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11071264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The clinical use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, leading to the current antibiotic resistance crisis. To address this issue, next-generation vaccines are being developed to prevent antimicrobial resistance caused by MDR bacteria. Traditional vaccine platforms, such as inactivated vaccines (IVs) and live attenuated vaccines (LAVs), were effective in preventing bacterial infections. However, they have shown reduced efficacy against emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MDR M. tuberculosis. Additionally, the large-scale production of LAVs and IVs requires the growth of live pathogenic microorganisms. A more promising approach for the accelerated development of vaccines against antibiotic-resistant bacteria involves the use of in silico immunoinformatics techniques and reverse vaccinology. The bioinformatics approach can identify highly conserved antigenic targets capable of providing broader protection against emerging drug-resistant bacteria. Multi-epitope vaccines, such as recombinant protein-, DNA-, or mRNA-based vaccines, which incorporate several antigenic targets, offer the potential for accelerated development timelines. This review evaluates the potential of next-generation vaccine development based on the reverse vaccinology approach and highlights the development of safe and immunogenic vaccines through relevant examples from successful preclinical and clinical studies.

Albaqami FF, Altharawi A, Althurwi HN, Alharthy KM, Tahir ul Qamar M, Muhseen ZT, Iqbal M. Development of a Novel Vaccine Candidates against Cardiobacterium valvarum through Reverse Vaccinology and Computational Approaches. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 2023:6325568. [PMID: 37415928 PMCID: PMC10322295 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6325568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that has resulted in high healthcare costs, increased mortality, and the emergence of novel bacterial diseases. Cardiobacterium valvarum, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium, is one of the leading causes of heart disease. Currently, there is no licensed vaccination against C. valvarum. In this research, an in silico-based vaccine was designed against C. valvarum using reverse vaccinology, bioinformatics, and immunoinformatics techniques. 4206 core proteins, 2027 nonredundant proteins, and 2179 redundant proteins were predicted. Among nonredundant proteins, 23 proteins were predicted in an extracellular membrane, 30 in the outer membrane, and 62 in the periplasmic membrane region. After applying several subtractive proteomics filters, two proteins, TonB-dependent siderophore receptor and hypothetical protein, were chosen for epitope prediction. In the epitope selection phase, B and T-cellepitopes were analyzed and shortlisted for vaccine design. The vaccine model was designed by linking selected epitopes with GPGPG linkers to avoid flexibility. Furthermore, the vaccine model was linked to cholera toxin B adjuvant to induce a proper immune response. The docking approach was utilized to analyze binding affinity to immune cell receptors. Molecular docking results predicted 12.75 kcal/mol for a Vaccine with MHC-I, 6.89 for a vaccine with MHC-II, and 19.51 vaccine with TLR-4. The MMGBSA estimated -94, -78, and -76 kcal/mol for TLR-4 and vaccine, MHC-I and vaccine, and MHC-II and vaccine, while the MMPBSA analysis estimated -97, -61, and -72 kcal/mol for TLR-4 with the vaccine, MHC-I with vaccine, and MHC-II with a vaccine. Molecular dynamic simulation analysis revealed that the designed vaccine construct has proper stability with immune cell receptors as it is essential for inducing an immune response. In conclusion, we observed that the model vaccine candidate has the potency to induce an immune response in the host. However, the study is designed purely on a computational basis; hence, experimental validation is strongly recommended.

Design of a Multi-Epitope Vaccine against Tuberculosis from Mycobacterium tuberculosis PE_PGRS49 and PE_PGRS56 Proteins by Reverse Vaccinology. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1647. [PMID: 37512820 PMCID: PMC10385543 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11071647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, representing the second leading cause of death by an infectious agent worldwide. The available vaccine against this disease has insufficient coverage and variable efficacy, accounting for a high number of cases worldwide. In fact, an estimated third of the world's population has a latent infection. Therefore, developing new vaccines is crucial to preventing it. In this study, the highly antigenic PE_PGRS49 and PE_PGRS56 proteins were analyzed. These proteins were used for predicting T- and B-cell epitopes and for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) protein binding efficiency. Epitopes GGAGGNGSLSS, FAGAGGQGGLGG, GIGGGTQSATGLG (PE_PGRS49), and GTGWNGGKGDTG (PE_PGRS56) were selected based on their best physicochemical, antigenic, non-allergenic, and non-toxic properties and coupled to HLA I and HLA II structures for in silico assays. A construct with an adjuvant (RS09) plus each epitope joined by GPGPG linkers was designed, and the stability of the HLA-coupled construct was further evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations. Although experimental and in vivo studies are still necessary to ensure its protective effect against the disease, this study shows that the vaccine construct is dynamically stable and potentially effective against tuberculosis.

Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:263. [PMID: 36851141 PMCID: PMC9966016 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11020263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The ongoing antibiotic-resistance crisis is becoming a global problem affecting public health. Urgent efforts are required to design novel therapeutics against pathogenic bacterial species. Brucella melitensis is an etiological agent of brucellosis, which mostly affects sheep and goats but several cases have also been reported in cattle, water buffalo, yaks and dogs. Infected animals also represent the major source of infection for humans. Development of safer and effective vaccines for brucellosis remains a priority to support disease control and eradication in animals and to prevent infection to humans. In this research study, we designed an in-silico multi-epitopes vaccine for B. melitensis using computational approaches. The pathogen core proteome was screened for good vaccine candidates using subtractive proteomics, reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatic tools. In total, 10 proteins: catalase; siderophore ABC transporter substrate-binding protein; pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase; superoxide dismutase; peptidylprolyl isomerase; superoxide dismutase family protein; septation protein A; hypothetical protein; binding-protein-dependent transport systems inner membrane component; and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoheptanedioate aldolase were selected for epitopes prediction. To induce cellular and antibody base immune responses, the vaccine must comprise both B and T-cells epitopes. The epitopes were next screened for antigenicity, allergic nature and water solubility and the probable antigenic, non-allergic, water-soluble and non-toxic nine epitopes were shortlisted for multi-epitopes vaccine construction. The designed vaccine construct comprises 274 amino acid long sequences having a molecular weight of 28.14 kDa and instability index of 27.62. The vaccine construct was further assessed for binding efficacy with immune cell receptors. Docking results revealed that the designed vaccine had good binding potency with selected immune cell receptors. Furthermore, vaccine-MHC-I, vaccine-MHC-II and vaccine-TLR-4 complexes were opted based on a least-binding energy score of -5.48 kcal/mol, 0.64 kcal/mol and -2.69 kcal/mol. Those selected were then energy refined and subjected to simulation studies to understand dynamic movements of the docked complexes. The docking results were further validated through MMPBSA and MMGBSA analyses. The MMPBSA calculated -235.18 kcal/mol, -206.79 kcal/mol, and -215.73 kcal/mol net binding free energy, while MMGBSA estimated -259.48 kcal/mol, -206.79 kcal/mol and -215.73 kcal/mol for TLR-4, MHC-I and MHC-II complexes, respectively. These findings were validated by water-swap and entropy calculations. Overall, the designed vaccine construct can evoke proper immune responses and the construct could be helpful for experimental researchers in formulation of a protective vaccine against the targeted pathogen for both animal and human use.

Multi-Epitope Vaccine Design against Monkeypox Virus via Reverse Vaccinology Method Exploiting Immunoinformatic and Bioinformatic Approaches. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10122010. [PMID: 36560421 PMCID: PMC9786588 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10122010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The monkeypox virus is a zoonotic orthopox DNA virus that is closely linked to the virus. In light of the growing concern about this virus, the current research set out to use bioinformatics and immunoinformatics to develop a potential vaccine against the virus. (2) Methods: A multiepitope vaccine was constructed from the B-cell and T-cell epitopes of the MPXVgp181 strain using adjuvant and different linkers. The constructed vaccine was predicted for antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity, and population coverage. In silico immune simulation studies were also carried out. Expression analysis and cloning of the constructed vaccine was carried out in the pET-28a(+) vector using snapgene. (3) Results: The constructed vaccine was predicted to be antigenic, non-allergenic, and non-toxic. It was predicted to have excellent global population coverage and produced satisfactory immune response. The in silico expression and cloning studies were successful in E. coli, which makes the vaccine construct suitable for mass production in the pharmaceutical industry. (4) Conclusion: The constructed vaccine is based on the B-cell and T-cell epitopes obtained from the MPXVgp181 strain. This research can be useful in developing a vaccine to combat the monkeypox virus globally after performing in-depth in vitro and in vivo studies.

Alabbas AB. Integrativesubtractive proteomics, immunoinformatics, docking, and simulation approaches reveal candidate vaccine against Sin Nombre orthohantavirus. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1022159. [DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1022159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The emergence of Sin Nombre orthohantavirus, an etiological agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, exacerbates the situation and imposes a heavy financial burden on healthcare organizations. Multidrug-resistant forms of the disease are prevalent, and there is currently no licensed commercial vaccine. Due to the numerous limitations of experimental vaccines, vaccines against various bacterial and viral diseases have developed via computational vaccine design. Several subtractive proteomics, immunoinformatics, docking, and simulation approaches were used in this study to develop a multi-epitope–based vaccine against Sin Nombre orthohantavirus. One possible antigenic protein—the glycoprotein precursor of surface glycoproteins (accession number >AAC42202.1)—was selected as a candidate for B cell–derived T cell epitopes mapping the detailed analysis of the core genome. Among the predicted epitopes, four epitopes (QVDWTKKSST, GLAASPPHL, SSYSYRRKLV, and MESGWSDTA), which were probably antigenic, nonallergenic, nontoxic, and water soluble, were used in the multi-epitope vaccine’s construction. The shortlisted epitopes have the potency to cover 99.78% of the world’s population, 97.93% of the Chinese population, and 97.36% of the Indian population. The epitopes were connected through AAY linkers and joined with >50S ribosomal adjuvant to enhance their efficacy. The vaccine comprises 182 amino acids with a molecular weight of 19.03770 kDa and an instability index of 26.52, indicating that the protein is stable. A molecular docking study revealed that the vaccine has a good binding affinity with TLR-4 and TLR-8, which is vital for inducing the immune system. Top-1 docked complexes of vaccine- TLR-4 and TLR-8 with the lowest binding energy of -12.52 kc/mol and -5.42 kc/mol, respectively, were considered for molecular dynamic simulation analysis. Furthermore, we predicted that the docked complexes are properly stable throughout simulation time in both normal mode and AMBER-based simulation analysis. The MMGBSA analysis calculated -122.17 and -125.4 net binding energies for the TLR-8- and TLR4-vaccine complexes, respectively, while the MMPBSA analysis estimated -115.63 and -118.19 for the TLR-8- and TLR4-vaccine complex, respectively, confirming that the binding stability with receptors is stable, which is important for inducing a strong response. However, the current work is computation-based, so experimental validation is highly recommended.

Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative soil-dwelling bacterium, is primarily considered a causative agent of melioidosis infection in both animals and humans. Despite the severity of the disease, there is currently no licensed vaccine on the market. The development of an effective vaccine against B. pseudomallei could help prevent the spread of infection. The purpose of this study was to develop a multi-epitope-based vaccine against B. pseudomallei using advanced bacterial pan-genome analysis. A total of four proteins were prioritized for epitope prediction by using multiple subtractive proteomics filters. Following that, a multi-epitopes based chimeric vaccine construct was modeled and joined with an adjuvant to improve the potency of the designed vaccine construct. The structure of the construct was predicted and analyzed for flexibility. A population coverage analysis was performed to evaluate the broad-spectrum applicability of B. pseudomallei. The computed combined world population coverage was 99.74%. Molecular docking analysis was applied further to evaluate the binding efficacy of the designed vaccine construct with the human toll-like receptors-5 (TLR-5). Furthermore, the dynamic behavior and stability of the docked complexes were investigated using molecular dynamics simulation, and the binding free energy determined for Vaccine-TLR-5 was delta total -168.3588. The docking result revealed that the vaccine construct may elicit a suitable immunological response within the host body. Hence, we believe that the designed in-silico vaccine could be helpful for experimentalists in the formulation of a highly effective vaccine for B. pseudomallei.

[PMID: 36298444 PMCID: PMC9607922 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10101580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial species is a major threat to public health and has resulted in high mortality as well as high health care costs. Burkholderia mallei is one of the etiological agents of health care-associated infections. As no licensed vaccine is available against the pathogen herein, using reverse vaccinology, bioinformatics, and immunoinformatics approaches, a multi-epitope-based vaccine against B. mallei was designed. In completely sequenced proteomes of B. mallei, 18,405 core, 3671 non-redundant, and 14,734 redundant proteins were predicted. Among the 3671 non-redundant proteins, 3 proteins were predicted in the extracellular matrix, 11 were predicted as outer membrane proteins, and 11 proteins were predicted in the periplasmic membrane. Only two proteins, type VI secretion system tube protein (Hcp) and type IV pilus secretin proteins, were selected for epitope prediction. Six epitopes, EAMPERMPAA, RSSPPAAGA, DNRPISINL, RQRFDAHAR, AERERQRFDA, and HARAAQLEPL, were shortlisted for multi-epitopes vaccine design. The predicted epitopes were linked to each other via a specific GPGPG linker and the epitopes peptide was then linked to an adjuvant molecule through an EAAAK linker to make the designed vaccine more immunologically potent. The designed vaccine was also found to have favorable physicochemical properties with a low molecular weight and fewer transmembrane helices. Molecular docking studies revealed vaccine construct stable binding with MHC-I, MHC-II, and TLR-4 with energy scores of −944.1 kcal/mol, −975.5 kcal/mol, and −1067.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Molecular dynamic simulation assay noticed stable dynamics of the docked vaccine-receptors complexes and no drastic changes were observed. Binding free energies estimation revealed a net value of −283.74 kcal/mol for the vaccine-MHC-I complex, −296.88 kcal/mol for the vaccine-MHC-II complex, and −586.38 kcal/mol for the vaccine-TLR-4 complex. These findings validate that the designed vaccine construct showed promising ability in terms of binding to immune receptors and may be capable of eliciting strong immune responses once administered to the host. Further evidence from experimentations in mice models is required to validate real immune protection of the designed vaccine construct against B. mallei.

Design of Multi-Epitope Vaccine for Staphylococcus saprophyticus: Pan-Genome and Reverse Vaccinology Approach. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10081192. [PMID: 36016080 PMCID: PMC9414393 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10081192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive coccus responsible for the occurrence of cystitis in sexually active, young females. While effective antibiotics against this organism exist, resistant strains are on the rise. Therefore, prevention via vaccines appears to be a viable solution to address this problem. In comparison to traditional techniques of vaccine design, computationally aided vaccine development demonstrates marked specificity, efficiency, stability, and safety. In the present study, a novel, multi-epitope vaccine construct was developed against S. saprophyticus by targeting fully sequenced proteomes of its five different strains, which were examined using a pangenome and subtractive proteomic strategy to characterize prospective vaccination targets. The three immunogenic vaccine targets which were utilized to map the probable immune epitopes were verified by annotating the entire proteome. The predicted epitopes were further screened on the basis of antigenicity, allergenicity, water solubility, toxicity, virulence, and binding affinity towards the DRB*0101 allele, resulting in 11 potential epitopes, i.e., DLKKQKEKL, NKDLKKQKE, QDKLKDKSD, NVMDNKDLE, TSGTPDSQA, NANSDGSSS, GSDSSSSNN, DSSSSNNDS, DSSSSDRNN, SSSDRNNGD, and SSDDKSKDS. All these epitopes have the efficacy to cover 99.74% of populations globally. Finally, shortlisted epitopes were joined together with linkers and three different adjuvants to find the most stable and immunogenic vaccine construct. The top-ranked vaccine construct was further scrutinized on the basis of its physicochemical characterization and immunological profile. The non-allergenic and antigenic features of modeled vaccine constructs were initially validated and then subjected to docking with immune receptor major histocompatibility complex I and II (MHC-I and II), resulting in strong contact. In silico cloning validations yielded a codon adaptation index (CAI) value of 1 and an ideal percentage of GC contents (46.717%), indicating a putative expression of the vaccine in E. coli. Furthermore, immune simulation demonstrated that, after injecting the proposed MEVC, powerful antibodies were produced, resulting in the sharpest peaks of IgM + IgG formation (>11,500) within 5 to 15 days. Experimental testing against S. saprophyticus can evaluate the safety and efficacy of these prophylactic vaccination designs.

An In-Silico Investigation to Design a Multi-Epitopes Vaccine against Multi-Drug Resistant Hafnia alvei. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10071127. [PMID: 35891291 PMCID: PMC9316606 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10071127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant health issue because of the misuse of antibiotics in our daily lives, resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. Hafnia alvei is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacteria. The medical community has emphasized H. alvei’s possible association with gastroenteritis. As of now, there is no licensed vaccine for H. alvei, and as such, computer aided vaccine design approaches could be an ideal approach to highlight the potential vaccine epitopes against this bacteria. By using bacterial pan-genome analysis (BPGA), we were able to study the entire proteomes of H. alvei with the aim of developing a vaccine. Based on the analysis, 20,370 proteins were identified as core proteins, which were further used in identifying potential vaccine targets based on several vaccine candidacy parameters. The prioritized vaccine targets against the bacteria are; type 1 fimbrial protein, flagellar hook length control protein (FliK), flagellar hook associated protein (FlgK), curli production assembly/transport protein (CsgF), fimbria/pilus outer membrane usher protein, fimbria/pilus outer membrane usher protein, molecular chaperone, flagellar filament capping protein (FliD), TonB-dependent hemoglobin /transferrin/lactoferrin family receptor, Porin (OmpA), flagellar basal body rod protein (FlgF) and flagellar hook-basal body complex protein (FliE). During the epitope prediction phase, different antigenic, immunogenic, non-Allergenic, and non-Toxic epitopes were predicted for the above-mentioned proteins. The selected epitopes were combined to generate a multi-epitope vaccine construct and a cholera toxin B subunit (adjuvant) was added to enhance the vaccine’s antigenicity. Downward analyses of vaccines were performed using a vaccine three-dimensional model. Docking studies have confirmed that the vaccine strongly binds with MHC-I, MHC-II, and TLR-4 immune cell receptors. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the vaccine epitopes were exposed to nature and to the host immune system and interpreted strong intermolecular binding between the vaccine and receptors. Based on the results of the study, the model vaccine construct seems to have the capacity to produce protective immune responses in the host, making it an attractive candidate for further in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) contains double-stranded DNA as its genome and is the fifth polyomavirus that infects humans. The virus causes Merkel cell carcinoma (aggressive skin cancer). Till present, no proper drug or vaccines are available to treat/prevent the virus infection and stop the emergence of Merkel cell carcinoma. In this study, computational vaccine design strategies were applied to design a chimeric-epitopes vaccine against the virus. The complete proteome comprised of four proteins was filtered through various vaccine candidacy parameters and as such two proteins, namely, capsid protein VP1 and capsid protein VP2, were considered as good vaccine targets. Furthermore, they harbor safe and potential B and T cell epitopes, which can be used in a chimeric multiepitopes-based vaccine design. The epitopes of the vaccine have maximum world population coverage of 95.04%. The designed vaccine structure was modeled in 3D that reported maximum residues in favored regions (95.7%) of the Ramachandran plot. The interactions analysis with different human immune receptors like TLR3, MHC-I, and MHC-II illustrated vaccine's good binding affinity and stable dynamics. The structural deviations of the vaccine receptor(s) complexes are within 5 Å, where majority of the receptors residues remain in good equilibrium in the simulation time. Also, the vaccine was found to form between 60 and 100 hydrogen bonds to receptors. The vaccine stimulated strong immune responses in addition to interferon and cytokines. The strength of vaccine-receptor(s) binding was further affirmed by binding energies estimation that concluded <-150.32 kcal/mol of net binding energy. All these findings suggest the vaccine as a promising candidate that needs further experimental testing to disclose its real immune protective efficacy. Furthermore, the designed vaccine might accelerate vaccine development against the MCV and could save time and expenses.

Abstract
Burkholderia cepacia is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen and is considered as a troublesome bacterium due to its resistance to many common antibiotics. There is no licensed vaccine available to prevent the pathogen infections, thus making the condition more alarming and warrant the search for novel therapeutic and prophylactic approaches. In order to identify protective antigens from pathogen proteome, substantial efforts are put forth to prioritized potential vaccine targets and antigens that can be easily evaluated experimentally. In this vaccine design investigation, it was found that B. cepacia completely sequenced proteomes available in NCBI genome database has a total of 28,966 core proteins. Out of total, 25,282 proteins were found redundant while 3,684 were non-redundant. Subcellular localization revealed that 18 proteins were extracellular, 31 were part of the outer membrane, 75 proteins were localized in the periplasm, and 23 were virulent proteins. Five proteins namely flagellar hook protein (FlgE), fimbria biogenesis outer membrane usher protein, Type IV pilus secretin (PilQ), cytochrome c4, flagellar hook basal body complex protein (FliE) were tested for positive for antigenic, non-toxic, and soluble epitopes during predication of B-cell derived T-cell epitopes. A vaccine peptide of 14 epitopes (joined together via GPGPG linkers) and cholera toxin B subunit (CTBS) adjuvant (joined to epitopes peptide via EAAAK linker) was constructed. Binding interaction of the modeled vaccine with MHC-I, MHC-II, and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) immune receptors was studied using molecular docking studies and further analyzed in molecular dynamics simulations that affirms strong intermolecular binding and stable dynamics. The maximum root mean square deviation (RMSD) score of complexes in the simulation time touches to 2 Å. Additionally, complexes binding free energies were determined that concluded robust interaction energies dominated by van der Waals. The total energy of each complex is < -190 kcal/mol. In summary, the designed vaccine showed promising protective immunity against B. cepacia and needs to be examined in experiments.

Design of a Multi-Epitopes Based Chimeric Vaccine against Enterobacter cloacae Using Pan-Genome and Reverse Vaccinology Approaches. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10060886. [PMID: 35746494 PMCID: PMC9227637 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10060886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Enterobacter cloacae (EC) is a significant emerging pathogen that is occasionally associated with lung infection, surgical site infection, urinary infection, sepsis, and outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units. In light of the fact that there is currently no approved vaccine or therapeutic option for the treatment of EC, the current study was developed to concentrate on applications based on modern computational approaches to design a multi-epitope-based E. cloacae peptide vaccine (MEBEPV) expressing the antigenic determinants prioritized from the EC genome. Integrated computational analyses identified two potential protein targets (phosphoporin protein-PhoE and putative outer-membrane porin protein) for further exploration on the basis of pangenome subtractive proteomics and immunoinformatic in-depth examination of the core proteomes. Then, a multi-epitope peptide vaccine was designed, which comprised shortlisted epitopes that were capable of eliciting both innate and adaptive immunity, as well as the cholera toxin’s B-subunit, which was used as an adjuvant in the vaccine formulation. To ensure maximum expression, the vaccine’s 3D structure was developed and the loop was refined, improving the stability by disulfide engineering, and the physicochemical characteristics of the recombinant vaccine sequence were found to be ideal for both in vitro and in vivo experimentation. Blind docking was then used for the prediction of the MEBEPV predominant blinding mode with MHCI, MHCII, and TLR3 innate immune receptors, with lowest global energy of −18.64 kJ/mol, −48.25 kJ/mol, and −5.20 kJ/mol for MHC-I, MHC-II, and TLR-4, respectively, with docked complexes considered for simulation. In MD and MMGBSA investigations, the docked models of MEBEPV-TLR3, MEBEPV-MHCI, and MEBEPV-MHCII were found to be stable during the course of the simulation. MM-GBSA analysis calculated −122.17 total net binding free energies for the TLR3-vaccine complex, −125.4 for the MHC I-vaccine complex, and −187.94 for the MHC II-vaccine complex. Next, MM-PBSA analysis calculated −115.63 binding free energy for the TLR3-vaccine complex, −118.19 for the MHC I-vaccine complex, and −184.61 for the MHC II-vaccine complex. When the vaccine was tested in silico, researchers discovered that it was capable of inducing both types of immune responses (cell mediated and humoral) at the same time. Even though the suggested MEBEPV has the potential to be a powerful contender against E. cloacae-associated illnesses, further testing in the laboratory will be required before it can be declared safe and immunogenic.
