苏云金杆菌辅助蛋白基因p19和orf1-orf2对杀虫晶体蛋白Cyt1 Aa表达的影响(英文)

为检测苏云金杆菌辅助蛋白P19和ORF1 ORF2对杀虫晶体蛋白Cyt1Aa表达的影响 ,构建了 5个重组表达质粒。 5个质粒都含有cyt1Aa基因 ,但pT1只含有cyt1Aa基因 ,pT2同时含有p19基因 ,pT3同时含有orf1 orf2串联基因 ,pT4同时含有p19基因和p2 0基因 ,pT5同时含有orf1 orf2串联基因和p2 0基因。将这 5个表达质粒和质粒pWF4 5电转化到苏云金杆菌晶体缺陷型 4Q7中 ,分别获得转化菌株Bt T1、Bt T2、Bt T3、Bt T4、Bt T5和Bt WF4 5。SDS PAGE结果显示 ,菌株Bt T1、Bt T2和Bt T3只产生少量的 2 7kDCyt1Aa蛋白 ,而且部分降解为大约 2 4kD的蛋白。而Bt T4和Bt T5能产生大量的Cyt1Aa蛋白 ,但Bt T4和Bt T5的Cyt1Aa蛋白产量都明显少于Bt WF4 5。电镜观察和生物测定结果表明Bt T4和Bt T5与Bt WF4 5的晶体大小和杀蚊毒力没有显著性差异。研究表明P19和ORF1 ORF2对Cyt1Aa蛋白的合成显示可能有抑制作用。     

Purification and Properties of Allothreonine Aldolase from Maise Seedlings

In order to elucidate the structure-activity relationship of griseofulvin (1), (±)-6′-demethyl analog (3), 2′-demethoxy-6′-demethyldihydro analog (4), (±)-dechloro-6′-ethyl analog (5), (±)-dechloro-6′-epi-ethyl analog (6), (±)-6′-ethyl analog (7) and (±)-6′-epi-ethyl analog (8) were synthesized by a Diels-Alder cycloaddition of alkylidene ketones (16, 17, 18, 19 and 20) with modified 1,3-butadienes (21 or 22). Their biological activities were examined against fungi.     

Alanine-162 of Bacillus thuringiensis Cyt2Aa2 toxin is essential for membrane binding and oligomerisation

Cyt2Aa2 is a cytolytic toxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis. It is specifically toxic to dipteran larvae in vivo and is also active against several cell types, such as erythrocytes. The active toxin is proposed to bind to the cell membrane, and membrane pore formation by toxin oligomerisation leads to cell lysis. This study aimed to characterise the role of residues (I139, S159, L160, S161, A162, D209 and V215) potentially involved in the membrane binding of Cyt2Aa2. All mutants, except I139A and V215A, showed similar characteristics to the wild-type toxin after proteinase K cleavage. Three mutants, S159A, L160A and S161A, showed high haemolytic activity but low toxicity against Aedes aegypti. Membrane interaction assays showed that these mutants could bind to rat red blood cells (rRBCs) and oligomerise. The mutant D209N had no haemolytic activity but was still mildly toxic to A. aegypti. The mutant A162V could not lyse rRBCs, even at high concentrations, and showed no toxicity against A. aegypti. Our data suggest that alanine 162 of the Cyt2Aa2 toxin is involved in membrane binding and oligomerisation. Substitution of this amino acid altered the conformation of the toxin and affected its biological activity.     

苏云金杆菌以色列亚种杀蚊蛋白Cyt1Aa在离中不粘柄菌中的表达

在蚊幼虫生活水域里的离中不粘柄菌(Asticcacaulis excentricus,Ae)中已成功表达苏云金芽孢杆菌以色列亚种(Bacillus thuringiensis subsp.israelensis,Bti)杀蚊蛋白基因cry11Aa的基础上,将另一Bti杀蚊蛋白基因cyt1Aa转化入Ae中表达。构建并转化了分别单独含有cyt1Aa基因、及同时含有cry11Aa基因的表达质粒pSODCyt20和pSODCryCyt20,蛋白免疫杂交检测相应的Ae重组子分别表达产生了Cyt1Aa和Cry11Aa蛋白。为了探究Ae(pSODCryCyt20)重组子不能表达cyt1Aa的原因,提取了重组子总RNA、并与同是革兰氏染色阴性的大肠杆菌的总RNA比较,结果显示两者RNA系统显著不同,推测Ae中多个外源基因的表达,可能要求每个基因必需一个启动子。     

球形芽孢杆菌Mtx1蛋白和苏云金杆菌Cyt1Aa晶体蛋白的协同作用

采用常规的生物测定方法确定了纯化的球形芽孢杆菌(Bacillus sphaericus)的缺失信号肽的97kDa营养期杀蚊毒素(Mosquitocidal toxin 1,Mtx1)蛋白和苏云金芽孢杆菌(Bacillus thuringiensis)27.3kDa的Cyt1Aa晶体蛋白对致倦库蚊(Culex quinquefasciatus)幼虫的杀虫活性。结果表明Mtx1和Cyt1Aa不同比例的混合物对致倦库蚊的毒力比单独毒素蛋白高,经统计分析表明两毒素蛋白对目标蚊幼虫具有明显的协同作用。在LC98处理浓度下,Mtx1和Cyt1Aa按3∶1混合的混合物LT50值比单独Mtx1的提前了6.36h。表明Cyt1Aa和Mtx1对致倦库蚊具有协同毒杀作用,提高对目标蚊虫的毒力、缩短半致死时间。该结果为深入研究Mtx1和Cyt1Aa的杀蚊作用方式奠定了基础,同时为其在蚊虫防治中的应用提供了新的思路和方法。

High Affinity Stereospecific Binding of [3H] Cocaine in Striatum and its Relationship to the Dopamine Transporter

A high affinity (K_D 35 nM) binding site for [³H]cocaine is detected in rat brain Striatum present at 2–3 pmol/mg protein of synaptic membranes. This binding is displaced by cocaine analogues with the same rank order as their inhibition of [³H]dopamine ([³H]DA) uptake into striatal synaptosomes (r = 0.99), paralleling the order of their central stimulant activity. The potent DA uptake inhibitors nomifensine, mazindol, and benztropine are more potent inhibitors of this high affinity [³H]cocaine binding than desipramine and imipramine. Cathinone and amphetamine, which are more potent central stimulants than cocaine, displace the high affinity [³H] cocaine binding stereos-pecifically, but with lower potency (IC₅₀ ～ 1μM) than does cocaine. It is suggested that the DA transporter in Striatum is the putative “cocaine receptor.

Binding of [³H] cocaine, measured in 10 mM Na₂HPO₄-0.32 M sucrose, pH 7.4 buffer, is inhibited by physiologic concentrations of Na⁺ and K⁺ and by biogenic amines. DA and Na⁺ reduce the affinity of the putative “cocaine receptor” for [³H]cocaine without changing the B_max, suggesting that inhibition may be competitive. However, TRIS reduces [³H]cocaine binding non-competitively while Na⁺ potentiates it in TRIS buffer. Binding of [³H]mazindol is inhibited competitively by cocaine. In phosphate-sucrose buffer, cocaine and mazindol are equally potent in inhibiting [³H]mazindol binding, but in TRIS-NaCl buffer cocaine has 10 times lower potency. It is suggested that the cocaine receptor in the striatum may be an allosteric protein with mazindol and cocaine binding to overlapping sites, while Na⁺ and DA are allosteric modulators, which stabilize a lower affinity state for cocaine.     

苏云金芽孢杆菌Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca结构域交换对晶体形态和杀虫活性影响

通过体外重组的方法,实现了苏云金芽孢杆菌杀虫晶体蛋白Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca的功能性结构域Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ的互换,得到了6株苏云金杆菌重组菌株BT-ACC,BT-AAC,BT-ACA,BT-CAA,BT-CCA和BT-CAC。SDS-PAGE和Westernblot分析表明,重组菌株BT-CAA和BT-CCA能表达产生135kDa左右的杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA和Cry1CCA,但其蛋白表达量较野生型Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca低。用牛胰蛋白酶对杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA、Cry1CCA及野生型Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca进行消化,证明所有晶体蛋白都能产生65kDa的活性毒素。电镜观察发现,野生菌株BT-Cry1Aa和BT-Cry1Ca形成典型的菱形晶体,而重组菌株BT-CCA和BT-CAA则形成球形或颗粒状杂交晶体。纯化晶体的生物测定显示,杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA和Cry1CCA对甜菜夜蛾的毒力比野生型晶体蛋白降低3~5倍,对棉铃虫的毒力比野生型晶体蛋白降低了190~260倍。研究结果表明,苏云金杆菌晶体蛋白不同结构域的相互作用会影响杂交晶体蛋白的表达、晶体形态和杀虫活性。

Quantification in soil of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstakiδ-endotoxin from transgenic plants

Transgenic plants that produce pesticidal proteins have the potential to release these products into the environment when the plants are incorporated into soil. This could result in novel exposure of soil organisms to these pesticidal proteins. There is a lack of knowledge about the fate and persistence of transgenic pesticidal products in the soil. A model system of transgenic cotton, which produces Bacillus thuringiensis kurstakiδ-endotoxin (Bt toxin), was used to address this issue. Methods were developed to quantify Btk toxin in soil and soil/plant litter by extraction of the Btk toxin with an aqueous buffer and quantification by ELISA. The highest recovery of Btk toxin from soil was obtained with a high salt, high pH buffer. In addition, for certain soil types, addition of a non-ionic detergent, Tween-20, was needed for optimal recovery. Recovery of Btk toxin from soil ranged from 60% for a low clay content, low organic matter soil to 27% for a high clay content, high organic matter soil. The limit of detection of this method is 0.5 ng of extractable toxin per g dry weight soil. The method was shown to be useful in tracking over time the persistence of both purified and transgenic Btk toxin in laboratory experiments.     

A plasmid encoding a combination of mosquito-larvicidal genes from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus confers toxicity against a broad range of mosquito larvae when expressed in Gram-negative bacteria

A recombinant plasmid harboring cry4A, cry4B and cry11A from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and binary toxin genes from Bacillus sphaericus has been constructed. The three cry genes were placed under the control of the cry4B promoter whereas the binary toxin gene was controlled by its native promoter. The expression of toxins in Escherichia coli harboring the resulting plasmid, p4BDA-5142, was investigated. Cry4B expression was highest compared to other toxins. Although the level of toxin expression was low compared with E. coli expressing single toxins, the recombinant E. coli strain harboring p4BDA-5142 exhibited broad range mosquito-larvicidal activity against all Aedes, Culex and Anopheles larvae. This work has shown that the development of the recombinant plasmid can be used to broaden the host range spectrum of the appropriate bacterial host for mosquito control.
