Abstract:
Mycoplasma bovis is a global problem for the cattle industry due to its high infection rates and associated morbidity, although its pathophysiology is poorly understood. In this study, the M. bovis transcriptome and proteome were analyzed to further investigate the biology of clinical isolates of M. bovis. A differential analysis of M. bovis, a clinical isolate (NX114), and an international type strain (PG45) at the logarithmic stage of growth, was carried out using prokaryotic transcriptome and 4D-label-free quantitative non-labeled proteomics. Transcriptomics and proteomics identified 193 DEGs and 158 DEPs, respectively, with significant differences in 49 proteins/34 transcriptomic CDS post-translational protein sequences (15 jointly up-regulated and 21 jointly down-regulated). GO comments indicate membrane, cytoplasmic and ribosome proteins were important components of the total proteins of M. bovis NX114 clinical isolate. KEGG enrichment revealed that M. bovis NX114 is mainly associated with energy metabolism, the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the ABC transporters system. In addition, we annotated a novel adhesion protein that may be closely related to M. bovis infection. Triosephosphate isomerase (TpiA) and Pyruvate kinase (Pyk) genes may be the key enzymes that regulate the growth and maintenance of M. bovis and are involved in the pathogenic process as virulence factors. The results of the study revealed the biology of different isolates of M. bovis and may provide research ideas for the pathogenic mechanism of M. bovis.
