不同添加物对苏云金芽孢杆菌杀虫活性的增效作用研究进展

苏云金芽孢杆菌（Bacillius thuringiensis,Bt）制剂是当前应用最广、最有效的生物杀虫剂之一,因其对多种昆虫具有特异性杀虫活性,而被广泛用于农林业和公共卫生等领域的害虫防治,但田间施用后,其速效性差、持效期短和防效不稳定等弊端限制了其进一步的推广。将Bt制剂与增效物质（剂）、因子混合使用以提高其杀虫活性和田间防效稳定性,是最快速、有效的途径之一,因而国内外对此开展了广泛而深入的研究。主要介绍了化学添加剂、化学杀虫剂和生物杀虫剂等添加物对Bt制剂杀虫活性的增效作用研究进展,并探讨了增效物质（剂）、因子的开发和应用前景,以期为开发安全、高效的Bt制剂的增效物质（剂）、因子提供一定的参考。     

苏云金杆菌δ—内毒素基因在大肠杆菌中的克隆及表达

分离了苏云金杆菌肯尼亚亚种7404(Bacillus huringiensis subsp．Kenyae 7404)和库斯塔克亚种(Bacillus thuringiensis subsp．Kwrstaki HD-1)的质粒。经凝胶原位杂交证明苏云金杆菌肯尼亚亚种7404的δ—内毒素基因位于约47Md大小的一个质粒上。用蔗糖密度梯度离心法从sau 3 A1部分酶解的上述两种苏云金杆菌质粒DNA酶解片段中分离出大于4kb的DNA片段,将这些片段克隆到pBR332的Barn HI位点上并转化大肠杆菌HB101。通过菌落原位杂交、菌落原位放射免疫试验及Western blct分析等方法,选到了带有δ—内毒素基因并能在大肠杆菌中表达此毒蛋白的转化体。初步的生物学试验表明,在四个试验过的转化体中带有肯尼亚亚种δ—内毒素基因的转化体TK89及带有库斯塔克亚种δ—内毒素基因的转化体THl2和TH48对烟青虫(Heliothis assulta)有毒杀活性。     

棉铃虫中肠类胰蛋白酶的部分纯化和性质测定及其对苏云金杆菌δ—内毒素的降解作用

将棉铃虫Helicoverpa armingera中肠液经SephadexG-75、DEAE-SephadexA-50阴离子交换和CM-SephadexC-50阳离子交换柱层析进行分离纯化,得到部分纯化的24.5kD蛋白,该蛋白可以水解胰蛋白酶的专性底物BApNA和TAME,不能水解胰凝乳蛋白酶的专性底物BTEE,蛋白酶抑制剂的抑制试验显示,TLCK、PMSF、STI及SBBI均可显著抑制该蛋白对BApNA的水解作用,而TPCK无抑制作用,由此推断,24.5kD蛋白是棉铃虫的类胰蛋白酶。以BApNA为底物,类胰蛋白酶的最适pH为10.5-11.0。SephadexG-75分离得到了4个洗脱峰,电泳结果显示,各洗脱峰均能使苏云金杆菌库斯塔克变种Bacillus thuringiensis var.kurstakiHD-1原毒素降解为60.5kD的活力片段,峰Ⅳ虽然不能水解BApNA和TAME,但仍可对原毒素进行降解,而类胰蛋白酶活力最高的峰Ⅱ已将60.5kD蛋白完全降解,当减少用量至1/3时,才出现60.5kD蛋白。因此,苏云金杆菌δ-内毒素在棉铃虫中肠内的降解有多种蛋白酶参与,类胰蛋白酶在其中起重要作用,CM-SephadexC-50进一步分离得到的类胰蛋白酶可对原毒进行降解,其降解作用受到TLCK、PMSF、STI及SBBI的显著抑制,不受TPCK的影响。

Isolation of Cry1Ab protein mutants of Bacillus thuringiensis by a highly efficient PCR site-directed mutagenesis system

Abstract A site-directed mutagenesis method was designed and used to create Cry1Ab mutant proteins in two of the five highly conserved blocks present in the Cry protein family. Region 1 comprises the central α-helix 5 of domain I and has been implicated in the pore formation activity of the toxin. Substitution of arginine by serine at position 173 (R173S) affects neither structural integrity nor toxicity. Region 2 comprises the major part of the domain I/domain II interface, characterized by the presence of numerous hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. Mutations in the salt bridge formed by aspartic acid 242 and arginine 265 (D242N, D242C, R265C, and D242C/R265C) resulted in structurally unstable mutant proteins as is shown by their increased protease sensitivity and lack of biological activity.     

Processing of Cry1Ab delta-endotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis by Manduca sexta and Spodoptera frugiperda midgut proteases: role in protoxin activation and toxin inactivation

Activation of Cry protoxins is carried out by midgut proteases. This process is important for toxicity and in some cases for specificity. Commercial proteases have been used for in vitro protoxin activation. In the case of Cry1A protoxins, trypsin digestion generates a toxic fragment of 60–65 kDa. Here, we have analyzed the in vitro and in vivo activation of Cry1Ab. We found differences in the processing of Cry1Ab protoxin by Manduca sexta and Spodoptera frugiperda midgut proteases as compared to trypsin. Midgut juice proteases produced two additional nicks at the N-terminal end removing helices 1 and 2a to produce a 58 kDa protein. A further cleavage within domain II splits the toxin into two fragments of 30 kDa. The resulting fragments were not separated, but instead coeluted with the 58 kDa monomer, in size-exclusion chromatography. To examine if this processing was involved in the activation or degradation of Cry1Ab toxin, binding, pore formation, and toxicity assays were performed. Pore formation assays showed that midgut juice treatment produced a more active toxin than trypsin treatment. In addition, it was determined that the 1 helix is dispensable for Cry1Ab activity. In contrast, the appearance of the 30 kDa fragments correlates with a decrease in pore formation and insecticidal activities. Our results suggest that the cleavage in domain II may be involved in toxin inactivation, and that the 30 kDa fragments are stable intermediates in the degradation pathway.     

δ-Endotoxins induce cation channels in Spodoptera frugiperda brush border membranes in suspension and in planar lipid bilayers

Membrane potential measurements using a fluorescent dye indicated that two specific toxins active against Spodoptera frugiperda larvae (CryIC and CryID) cause immediate permeability changes in midgut epithelial brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV). The initial response and the sustained permeability change are cationic, notvery K⁺ selective, and occur at in vivo lethal doses (nM). The toxin response has a different ion selectivity and is more sensitive to Ba²⁺ than the intrinsic cation permeability of BBMV. Experiments incorporating BBMV into planar lipid bilayers (PLB) demonstrated that these vesicles contain cation channels (31, 47 and 76 pS). A 2–40 fold conductance increase was induced by nM concentrations of toxin in PLB containing BBMV. Cationic single channel transitions of 50, 106, 360 and 752 pS were resolved. Thus, Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxins induce an increase in cation membrane permeability involving ion channels in BBMV-containing functional receptors.

Mechanism of action of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis insecticidal δ-endotoxin

Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensisδ-endotoxin protein active against mosquitoes was inactivated by prior incubation with lipids extracted from Aedes albopictus cells. Experiments with lipid dispersions and multilamellar liposomes showed that the toxin binds to phosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin and phosphatidyl ethanolamine provided these lipids contain unsaturated fatty acids. Phosphatidyl serine binds toxin less efficiently and phosphatidyl inositol, cardiolipin, cerebroside and cholesterol show no affinity for the toxin. The results suggest an insecticidal mechanism in which interaction of toxin with specific plasma membrane lipids causes a detergent-like rearrangement of the lipids, leading to disruption of membrane integrity and eventual cytolysis.
