Int. J. Pharmacol., 17 (5): 262-270, 2021 INTRODUCTION Secretion systems of proteins are essential for bacteria to grow and survive in various environments. In some cases, pathogenic bacteria use secretion systems to control host immunity and create a replica space 1 . In eukaryotic cells, this secretory strategy entails the translocation of altered molecules from the inside to the outside of the cell, as well as the transport of effector molecules such as toxins, enzymes or proteins. Therefore, secretion is a vital part of the pathogenesis and virulence of bacteria 2 . There are different types of bacterial secretion systems; the type VI secretion system (T 6 SS) is the sixth and the most recently known bacterial secretion system 3 . T 6 SS has been identified in P. aeruginosa and included in antibacterial competition and virulence 4 . Virulence factors are microorganism-secreted molecules that allow them to colonize the host, suppress the host's immune responses and cause illness. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms of bacterial virulence plays a vital role in bacterial pathogenesis T 6 SS is very wide, with a maximum of 21 proteins encoded in an adjacent cluster of genes. Furthermore, it has three major components of Multimeric: the baseplate (TssEFGK), transmembrane core (TssJLM), tail and sheath complex (Hcp, VgrG and TssBC) 5 . Intriguingly, T 6 SS shares structural homology with phage tails. Moreover, VgrG 1 is structurally like the T 4 phage (gp 27)3-(gp 5)3 puncturing. The compound of the spike is organized as a needle-like $ -helix and is sited at the tip of the machinery of the shooting phage 6 The dual hemolysin co-regulated protein 1 and valine-glycine repeat protein G 1 (Hcp 1/VgrG 1) approach has been suggested to act as a spike wherein the long tail constitutes Hcp 1 and the penetrating tip is VgrG 1. Similar to the tail and tip used by phages to inject the host cell with their DNA, together, each of these proteins crosses the target membrane 7 . Furthermore, several VgrG proteins contain C-terminal extensions which have an effector function, such as the VgrG-1 actin crosslinking domain (ACD). VgrG-1 or its ACD domain is translocated to cross-link cell actin into the host cell cytosol following the diffusion of bacteria into macrophage cell lines, affecting the subsequent phagocytic process 8 . P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacillus pathogen associated with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and affects immunocompromised patients 9 Typically, P. aeruginosa genomes have sizes of approximately 6 and 7 Mb and it has the lowest AT content (33%) by 5,570 Open Reading Frames (ORFs). This genome helps P. aeruginosa survive and withstand the effects of several antimicrobial substances in different environments 10 Interestingly, several bacterium proteins are measured as hypothetical proteins because their biological and structural roles remain unknown. Therefore, bioinformatics methods could play a key role in predicting and studying the structure, biological functions and protein-protein interactions of these hypothetical proteins. Accordingly, this study aimed to assign the hypothetical protein PA 2373 structural and biological functions using in silico analysis. Subcellular localization, physiochemical properties and secondary structure were predicted; additionally, conserved domain, family and superfamily were identified and protein-protein interactions were analyzed. Homology modelling techniques were used to produce a quality model of PA 2373 MATERIALS AND METHODS Study area: The current work was carried out at the pathogen biology Department, Harbin Medical University, from November, 2020 to April, 2021 Sequence assembly: The hypothetical protein (PA 2373) sequence information was obtained through the NCBI database. In a FASTA format, the sequence was taken and then presented for in silico characterization to several prediction servers (Table 1). Similarity searches were carried out with the NCBI Protein Database and Swiss Prot to identify proteins that may have structural similarities to uncharacterized proteins using the “BLAST p tool of the BLAST software Table 1: Tools used for the in-silico characterization of hypothetical protein PA 2373 Server name Purpose BLAST Prot BLAST MUSCLE Similarity search multiple sequence alignment ProtParam PSORTb Physicochemical characterization CELLO SOSUIGram N TMHMM CCTOP Topology prediction Motif Motif discovery Pfam Family relationship identification Superfamily Superfamily search InterPro Functional classification PSIPRED Secondary structure prediction HHpred Tertiary structure prediction STRING Interaction network analysis PROCHECK ERRAT Structure verification 263

Hypothetical protein (PA 2373) FASTA sequences and annotated homologous proteins were systematized. To validate the homology between the proteins, a phylogenetic analysis was also performed. Based on the alignment and BLAST results, a phylogenetic tree was constructed, which provided a similar concept of protein, as shown in Fig. 1 Physicochemical features: The protein contained 668 amino acids and the molecular weight measured was 7877.95 Da and the theoretical pI was 5.207, representing that the protein was negatively charged. Among the most abundant charged residues, the whole number of positively charged residues (Arg+Lys) was 12 and the whole number of negatively charged residues was 13. The determined index of instability classifies the protein as stable. The measured protein half-life was 7.2 “hrs” in mammalian reticulocytes ( in vitro ), >20 hrs in yeast ( in vivo ) and >10 hrs in Escherichia coli ( in vivo ). The aliphatic index was 71.39, which indicates the stability of the protein in a high-temperature range. The GRAVY value was -0.335. A negative GRAVY value shows that the protein is nonpolar. The molecular protein formula was defined as C 356 H 539 N 95 O 102 S 3 Subcellular localization: The hypothetical protein (2373) subcellular localization was expected to be in the extracellular space. The absence of transmembrane helices predicted by THMM and HMMTOP besides enhances the final result of extracellular protein 15-18 . Functional annotation and virulence prediction: The conserved domain search tool showed two domains in this hypothetical protein sequence, VI̲Rhs̲Vgr (accession no TIGR 03361) and 5 superfamilies (accession no cl 33691). The Pfam server predicted the Phage̲GPD at 29‒353 amino acid residues with an e-value of 4.9 e-82, phage base V at 357-583 with an e-value of 3.1 e-13 and Gp 5 C at 560-646 amino acid residues with an e-value of 0.0031.

Int. J. Pharmacol., 17 (5): 262-270, 2021 Superfamily analyses identified the presence of phage tail proteins and the phage fibre protein superfamily. To predict the bacterial virulence factor of PA 2373, we used the VICMpred bioinformatics tool. PA 2373 includes a virulent element that may offer clues for future drug design as a treatment objective. The characteristics of HP PA 2373 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA 01 were investigated and studied for the first time. The recent finding was agreed with Wiehlmann L et al 34 who made the report that HPs are attractive therapeutic targets since they are involved in important pathways such as (cell wall integrity e and maintaining genome). Analysis of the secondary structure: The study using the secondary structure prediction SOPMA tool showed the alpha helix, beta-turn, extended strand and random protein coil proportions as 20.96, 6.8, 28.1 and 44.01%, respectively Analysis of the three-dimensional structure: 3 D structure prediction was accomplished using the HHpred server with the highest scoring template for 100 percent identification (PDB ID: 4 UHV), Fig. 3 and 4. The UHV is a trimetric fold crystal structure that separates two major fragments assembly of the protein, the head and the spike bound by a neck centred on a cord 29-31 . This unique molecular structure is identical to the T 4 bacteriophage (gp 27)3-(gp 5)3 complex puncturing-device machinery used by the virus to inject its DNA into the host cell 34 . The energy minimization server Modrefiner was used for the refined prediction of homology models. For both the energy aspects and geometries, the ProSA web helped evaluate the energy-minimized structures by accessing the Z-score protein structure, representing the overall quality of the model, Fig. 4. It was helpful to verify whether the input structure was within the range of scores typically seen for similar-sized native proteins. The overall model quality Z-score was -6.57, suggesting a similarity between the template and query structure. The Ramachandran plot revealed that 71.9% of the residues were located in the most favourable regions, where the distribution of N and R angle in the model within the limits are shown as illustrated in Fig. 5. The ERRAT server predicted an overall model quality factor of 58.0813, which indicates a good model. The homology-modelled protein was superimposed with the UCSF Chimera 1.10 is presented in Fig. 6. Analysis of protein-protein interaction: The STRING 10.0 tool was used to establish potential protein functional interaction networks 35,36 .
