Abstract: In order to provide the reference for developing epitope vaccine and diagnosis of Streptococcus, M protein of Streptococcus canis(SCM)gene was cloned and analyzed by bioinformatics software to predict its protein structure and function in this study. SCM was a stable hydrophilic protein and transmembrane protein proved by analysis of ExPASy ProtParam on-line software. This protein was predicted to contain signal peptide by SignalP 4.1 software. Five separate methods of SOPMA showed that SCM had α helix as the main component of secondary structure, accounted for 83.53%. The three-dimensional structure of SCM determined by using SWISS-MODEL work-space was predicted to have the same result with the secondary structure. By using Protean modules of DNAStar software, SCM hydrophilicity plot, secondary structure, antigenicity index, surface probability plot and flexible regions are analyzed and compared to find that B cell epitopes were predicted at the region No. 55~59 and No.377~379.

Key words: SCM, bioinformation analysis, protein structure, B cell epitope
