Abstract: This study aimed to clone the rpoE gene of Streptococcus suis and to analyze the function and related biological characteristics of the rpoE gene encoding protein of Streptococcus suis by bioinformatic software. The rpoE gene was amplified from Streptococcus suis and sequenced; the physicochemical properties and antigenic epitopes of the protein encoded by the gene were predicted by bioinformatic software. The results showed that the rpoE gene of Streptococcus suis was 582 bp in length, encoding a hydrophilic cytoplasmic protein rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid and serine. Besides, the secondary structure analysis showed that the main structural components of RpoE protein were α-helix and random coil, accounting for 52.3% and 36.3%, respectively. The comprehensive analysis indicates that there are 5 dominant epitopes on RpoE protein.
