Cry3 class toxins are used extensively for biological control of coleopteran larvae. We previously identified a peptide (PCx) from a phage display library that specifically binds Cx-cellulase from the midgut of Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky (Asian longhorn beetle) larvae. Here, we added a DNA fragment that encodes the peptide onto either end of the cry3Aa gene and tested the expressed PCx-Cry3Aa and Cry3Aa-PCx proteins for insecticidal activity in the longhorned beetle. An insect bioassay revealed that, compared with native Cry3Aa, the two modified Cry3Aa proteins had significantly higher lethality, with PCx-Cry3Aa exhibiting a mortality rate almost three times that of Cry3Aa. We also proposed that the increased lethality in larvae fed with PCx-Cry3Aa or Cry3Aa-PCx would be attributable to the binding of the toxin with Cx-cellulase, thereby increasing toxin retention in the midgut. The significantly enhanced insecticidal activity of Cry3Aa fused with the Cx-cellulase binding peptide provides a new strategy for increasing toxin efficacy against the longhorned beetle. These uniquely modified Cry3Aa proteins have potential use for pest control.  相似文献

Two novel crystal protein genes, cry30Ba and cry44Aa, were cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus INA288 and expressed in an acrystalliferous strain. Cry44Aa crystals were highly toxic to second-instar Culex pipiens pallens (50% mortality concentration [LC50] = 6 ng/ml) and Aedes aegypti (LC50 = 12 ng/ml); however, Cry30Ba crystals were not toxic.  相似文献

The susceptibility of one of the most important pests in southern Africa, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins was evaluated by bioassay. Cry proteins were produced in Escherichia coli BL21 cells that were transformed with plasmids containing one of six cry genes. The toxicity of each Cry protein to H. armigera larvae was determined by the diet contamination method for second instar larvae and the droplet feeding method for neonate larvae. For each of the proteins, dose-mortality and dose-growth inhibition responses were analyzed and the median lethal dose (LD(50)) and median inhibitory dose (ID(50)) determined. Second instar larvae were consistently less susceptible to the evaluated Cry proteins than neonate larvae. The relative toxicity of Cry proteins ranked differently between neonate larvae and second instar larvae. On the basis of the LD(50) and ID(50) values, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and Cry2Aa were the most toxic of the evaluated proteins to H. armigera larvae. The study provides an initial benchmark of the toxicity of individual Cry proteins to H. armigera in South Africa.  相似文献

[目的]分析苏云金芽孢杆菌的cry2A型芽孢期启动子对晶体蛋白Cry11Aa的协调作用和分子伴侣ORF1-ORF2对Cry11Aa表达的促进功能.[方法]3个包括cry11Aa编码区的重组质粒pHcy1、pHcy2和pHcy4被构建并电激转化到苏云金芽孢杆菌晶体缺陷株4Q7中,其中pHcy1质粒携带cry11Aa基因自身启动子和分子伴侣p19基因,pHcy2携带cry2A型芽孢期启动子和分子伴侣orf1-orf2基因,pHcy4质粒在pHcy1的上游插入了cry2A型芽孢期启动子和分子伴侣orf1-orf2基因.SDS-PAGE分析了Cry11Aa蛋白在各重组苏云金菌株中的表达情况,并通过生物测定确定了其对蚊虫的生物活性.[结果]SDS-PAGE结果表明,Cry11Aa蛋白在4Q7(pHcy1)和4QT(pHcy4)均获得了表达,在4Q7(pHcy2)中未检测到Cry11Aa蛋白,推测晶体蛋白Cry11A不能利用cry2A型启动子进行表达调控;Cry11Aa蛋白在等体积4Q7(pHcy4)培养液中的表达量是4Q7(pHcy1)菌株的1.25倍,暗示着分子伴侣ORF1-ORF2在某种程度上能提高Cry11Aa的蛋白表达量.4Q7(pHcy1)和4Q7(pHcy4)形成的Cry11Aa蛋白晶体的形状和大小相似,两者对致倦库蚊的生物活性没有明显差异,LC50s分别为59.33 ng/mL和66.21 ng/mL,.[结论]推测晶体蛋白Cry11A能否成功表达与其使用启动子的类型和两者的协调配合有关.分子伴侣ORF1-ORF2虽然在某种程度上能提高Cry11Aa的蛋白表达量,但对提高Cry11Aa蛋白的杀蚊毒力没有显著性帮助.  相似文献

Dipel-resistant and -susceptible strains of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) were evaluated for larval mortality and growth inhibition when fed diets containing individual Bacillus thuringiensis protoxins. Resistance ratios for four of the protoxins in Dipel (Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and Cry2Aa) were 170-, 205-, 524-, and > 640-fold, respectively, considerably higher than the 47-fold resistance to Dipel. The Dipel-resistant strain was 36-fold resistant to Cry1Ba, a protoxin not present in Dipel. Another non-Dipel protoxin, Cry1Ca, did not cause significant mortality for either resistant or susceptible larvae with doses as high as 1.0 mg/ml. In an evaluation of larval growth inhibition, resistance to Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and Cry1Ba was significant at concentrations of 0.054 and 0.162 microg/ml. However, growth inhibition with Cry2Aa was not significant at either dose. These data provide information on the spectrum of resistance and cross-resistance to individual Cry protoxins in this strain.  相似文献

Biosafety of a genetically modified crop is required to be assessed prior to its commercialization. For this, a suitable artificial diet was developed and used to establish a dietary exposure test for assessing the toxicity of midgut-active Bt insecticidal proteins on Chrysopa pallens (Rambur). Subsequently, this dietary exposure test was used to evaluate the toxicity of the proteins Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ah, Cry1Ca, Cry1F, Cry2Aa, Cry2Ab, and Vip3Aa on C. pallens larvae. Temporal stability, bioactivity, and the intake of the insecticidal proteins were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a sensitive-insect bioassay. The life history characteristics, such as survival, pupation, adult emergence, 7-day larval weight, larval developmental time, and emerged male and female fresh weights remained unaffected, when C. pallens were fed the pure artificial diet (negative control) and the artificial diets containing 200 μg/g of each purified protein: Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ah, Cry1Ca, Cry1F, Cry2Aa, Cry2Ab, or Vip3Aa. On the contrary, all of the life history characteristics of C. pallens larvae were adversely affected when fed artificial diet containing boric acid (positive control). The results demonstrate that diets containing the tested concentrations of Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ah, Cry1Ca, Cry1F, Cry2Aa, Cry2Ab, and Vip3Aa have null effects on C. pallens larvae. The outcome indicates that genetically modified crops expressing the tested Bt proteins are safe for the lacewing, C. pallens.  相似文献

In the process of development of insect resistant transgenic plants and also to evaluate the consistency in expression of the toxin under greenhouse and field conditions, immunological and bioassays are commonly used. The assay being described in this report, is based on the high levels of sensitivity of a cotton leaf feeding insect, the semilooper, Anomis flava (Fabricius) to Cry toxins (Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac). The assay is sensitive, quick and reproducible. Cry1Ac was the most toxic followed by Cry1Ab and Cry1Aa. LC 50 s of the three toxins on first instar larvae ranged from 0.79-6.08 ng cm -2 of leaf. LC 50 s of Cry1Ac for the fourth instar larvae ranged from 12.91-21.14 ng cm -2 while LC 50 s for Cry1Aa and Cry1Ab were in the range 53.0-138 ng cm -2 . The fiducial limits (at 95% probability) of the probit assay data indicated that there was no difference in response between the three different populations to each of the three toxins. The data from all assays were pooled for each of the three toxins separately and subjected to regression analysis to obtain a cumulative log dose response for first and fourth instar larvae. These can be used as standard curves to quantify toxin expression in plants based on mortality response of either first or fourth instar A. flava larvae. Apart from being used to detect expression in putative Bt cotton transgenic plants, the assay can also be used to follow the activity of Cry toxins in transgenic cotton plants in the field during the growing season.  相似文献

Sixteen Escherichia coli clones were assayed against susceptible and Bacillus thuringiensis-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The clones expressed different combinations of four genes from Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis; three genes encoded mosquitocidal toxins (Cry11Aa, Cry4Aa and Cyt1Aa) and the fourth encoded an accessory protein (P20). The cross-resistance spectra of the mosquitoes were similar to the profiles for recombinant B. thuringiensis strains expressing B. thuringiensis toxin genes, but with varied toxicity levels. The toxicity of the recombinants towards resistant mosquito larvae was improved when p20 and cyt1Aa were expressed in combination with cry4Aa and/or cry11Aa. Recombinant pVE4-ADRC, expressing cry4Aa, cry11Aa, p20 and cyt1Aa, was the most active against the resistant Culex, and resistance levels did not exceed fourfold. These results indicate that B. thuringiensis ssp. israelensis genes expressed in a heterologous host such as E. coli can be effective against susceptible and B. thuringiensis-resistant larvae and suppress resistance.  相似文献

Baseline susceptibility of legume pod borer (LPB) to the insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) from Bacillus thuringiensis, viz, Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ca and Cry2Aa was assessed in Taiwan. Insect bioassays were performed by incorporating the Bt delta-endotoxins into the LPB artificial diet. The efficacy of different Bt delta-endotoxins against second instar larvae of LPB showed that the toxin Cry1Ab was the most potent toxin (LC(50) 0.207ppm), followed by Cry1Ca, Cry1Aa, Cry2Aa and Cry1Ac in descending order, with LC(50)s 0.477ppm, 0.812ppm, 1.058ppm and 1.666ppm, respectively. Hence, Cry1Ab and/or Cry1Ca toxins would provide effective control of early larval stages of LPB.  相似文献

Thirteen of the most common lepidopteran-specific Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis have been tested for their efficacy against newly hatched larvae of two populations of the spiny bollworm, Earias insulana. At a concentration of 100 microg of toxin per milliliter of artificial diet, six Cry toxins (Cry1Ca, Cry1Ea, Cry1Fa, Cry1Ja, Cry2Aa, and Cry2Ab) were not toxic at all. Cry1Aa, Cry1Ja, and Cry2Aa did not cause mortality but caused significant inhibition of growth. The other Cry toxins (Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ba, Cry1Da, Cry1Ia, and Cry9Ca) were toxic to E. insulana larvae. The 50% lethal concentration values of these toxins ranged from 0.39 to 21.13 microg/ml (for Cry9Ca and Cry1Ia, respectively) for an E. insulana laboratory colony originating from Egypt and from 0.20 to 4.25 microg/ml (for Cry9Ca and Cry1Da, respectively) for a laboratory colony originating from Spain. The relative potencies of the toxins in the population from Egypt were highest for Cry9Ca and Cry1Ab, and they were both significantly more toxic than Cry1Ac and Cry1Ba, followed by Cry1Da and finally Cry1Ia. In the population from Spain, Cry9Ca was the most toxic, followed in decreasing order by Cry1Ac and Cry1Ba, and the least toxic was Cry1Da. Binding experiments were performed to test whether the toxic Cry proteins shared binding sites in this insect. 125I-labeled Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab and biotinylated Cry1Ba, Cry1Ia, and Cry9Ca showed specific binding to the brush border membrane vesicles from E. insulana. Competition binding experiments among these toxins showed that only Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac competed for the same binding sites, indicating a high possibility that this insect may develop cross-resistance to Cry1Ab upon exposure to Cry1Ac transgenic cotton but not to the other toxins tested.  相似文献

Cry4Ba is a delta-endotoxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and Cyt2Aa2 is a cytolytic delta-endotoxin produced by B. thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis. Cry4Ba produced in Escherichia coli was toxic to Aedes aegypti larvae (LC(50)=140 ng ml(-1)) but virtually inactive to Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. Cyt2Aa2 expressed in E. coli exhibited moderate activity against A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus larvae with LC(50) values of 350 and 250 ng ml(-1), respectively. Co-expression of both toxins in E. coli dramatically increased toxicity to both A. aegypti andC. quinquefasciatus larvae (LC(50)=7 and 20 ng ml(-1), respectively). This is the first report to demonstrate that Cry4Ba and Cyt2Aa2 have high synergistic activity against C. quinquefasciatus larvae.  相似文献

The insecticidal Cry11Aa and Cyt1Aa proteins are produced by Bacillus thuringiensis as crystal inclusions. They work synergistically inducing high toxicity against mosquito larvae. It was proposed that these crystal inclusions are rapidly solubilized and activated in the gut lumen, followed by pore formation in midgut cells killing the larvae. In addition, Cyt1Aa functions as a Cry11Aa binding receptor, inducing Cry11Aa oligomerization and membrane insertion. Here, we used fluorescent labeled crystals, protoxins or activated toxins for in vivo localization at nano-scale resolution. We show that after larvae were fed solubilized proteins, these proteins were not accumulated inside the gut and larvae were not killed. In contrast, if larvae were fed soluble non-toxic mutant proteins, these proteins were found inside the gut bound to gut-microvilli. Only feeding with crystal inclusions resulted in high larval mortality, suggesting that they have a role for an optimal intoxication process. At the macroscopic level, Cry11Aa completely degraded the gastric caeca structure and, in the presence of Cyt1Aa, this effect was observed at lower toxin-concentrations and at shorter periods. The labeled Cry11Aa crystal protein, after midgut processing, binds to the gastric caeca and posterior midgut regions, and also to anterior and medium regions where it is internalized in ordered “net like” structures, leading finally to cell break down. During synergism both Cry11Aa and Cyt1Aa toxins showed a dynamic layered array at the surface of apical microvilli, where Cry11Aa is localized in the lower layer closer to the cell cytoplasm, and Cyt1Aa is layered over Cry11Aa. This array depends on the pore formation activity of Cry11Aa, since the non-toxic mutant Cry11Aa-E97A, which is unable to oligomerize, inverted this array. Internalization of Cry11Aa was also observed during synergism. These data indicate that the mechanism of action of Cry11Aa is more complex than previously anticipated, and may involve additional steps besides pore-formation activity.  相似文献

A positive clone was selected from a library of total cell DNA of Paenibacillus lentimorbus strain Semadara that reacted with an antiserum that was raised against parasporal crystal proteins produced by this strain. The positive clone had a DNA insert containing two whole cry genes (cry43Aa1, cry43Ba1), one partial cry gene (cry43-like), and three smaller genes located upstream. Eight blocks that are conserved in the Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis [Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. 62 (1998) 775] were detected in their deduced amino acid sequences. The Escherichia coli transformant expressing cry43Aa1 caused inhibition of ingestion and 90% mortality in the first stadium larvae of Anomala cuprea. A low concentration of sporangia mixed with the transformant expressing cry43Aa1 easily infected the larvae of A. cuprea. The protein of approximately 150 kDa produced by the transformants expressing the cry genes reacted with antiserum specific for the parasporal crystal proteins. Southern hybridization analysis demonstrated that the cry genes were located on the chromosomal DNA of this strain, which possessed at least four cry genes.  相似文献

Toxicity tests were performed to find among Cry1 and Cry2 Bacillus thuringiensis crystal proteins those with high activity against the cabbage looper. Tests were performed with neonate larvae on surface-contaminated artificial diet. The crystal proteins found to be toxic were, from higher to lower toxicity: Cry1Ac, Cry1Ab, Cry1C, Cry2Aa, Cry1J, and Cry1F (LC50 of 1.14.1, 3.4-4.4, 12, 34, 87, and 250 ng/cm2, respectively). Cry1B, Cry1D, and Cry1E can be considered nontoxic (LC50 higher than 2500 ng/cm2). Cry1Aa was moderately toxic to nontoxic, depending on the source (LC50 of 420 ng/cm2 from PGS and 8100 ng/cm2 from Ecogen). In vitro binding assays with trypsin-activated 125I-labeled Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, and Cry1Ac crystal proteins and brush border membrane vesicles from midgut larvae showed a direct correlation between toxicity and binding affinity. Heterologous competition experiments indicated that Cry1Aa and Cry1F bind, though only at very high concentrations, to the Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac shared high-affinity binding site.  相似文献

Toxicity and larval growth inhibition of 11 insecticidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis were evaluated against neonate larvae of Helicoverpa armigera, a major pest of important crops in Spain and other countries, by a whole-diet contamination method. The most active toxins were Cry1Ac4 and Cry2Aa1, with LC50 values of 3.5 and 6.3 microg/ml, respectively. At the concentrations tested, Cry1Ac4, Cry2Aa1, Cry9Ca, Cry1Fa1, Cry1Ab3, Cry2Ab2, Cry1Da, and Cry1Ja1, produced a significant growth inhibition, whereas Cry1Aa3, Cry1Ca2, and Cry1Ea had no effect.  相似文献

A novel mosquitocidal protein gene, cry20Aa, was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. fukuokaensis (H-3a: 3d: 3e). The gene product, Cry20Aa, was naturally truncated and had a molecular mass of 86,138 Da. The Cry20Aa protein possessed five conserved sequence blocks, as do most other insecticidal Cry toxins. However, an amino acid comparison of Cry20Aa with other mosquitocidal toxins, including Cry4A, Cry4B, Cry10A, Cry11A, and Cry11B, demonstrated that Cry20Aa was quite different from other toxins except for the conserved blocks. The N terminus of Cry20Aa was, however, homologous to the N termini of Cry4A and Cry10A. Interestingly, an inverted repeat (IR1) sequence in the open reading frame of the cry20Aa gene caused incomplete expression of Cry20Aa. When this internal IR1 sequence was altered with no change of amino acid sequence, acrystalliferous B. thuringiensis cells transformed with cry20Aa gene dramatically produced crystal inclusions. However, the intact 86-kDa Cry20Aa protein is highly labile, and it is rapidly degraded to polypeptides of 56 and 43 kDa. To increase expression of the cry20Aa gene, the p20 chaperonelike protein and the cyt1Aa promoter were utilized. While p20 did not increase Cry20Aa expression or stability, chimeric constructs in which the cry20Aa gene was under control of the cyt1Aa promoter overexpressed the Cry20Aa protein in acrystalliferous B. thuringiensis. The expressed Cry20Aa protein showed larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. However, the mosquitocidal activity was low, probably due to rapid proteolysis to inactive 56- and 43-kDa proteins.  相似文献

苏云金杆菌以色列亚种的p19基因、cry11Aa基因和p20基因位于同一操纵子上,据推测辅助蛋白P19可能与Cry11Aa蛋白的晶体化相关。本研究利用穿梭载体pHT3101构建了两个重组质粒pHcy1和pHcy3,两质粒均携带cry11Aa基因,但后者完全缺失了cry11Aa基因上游的p19基因。将重组质粒电激转化至苏云金杆菌无晶体突变株4Q7中进行蛋白表达,SDS-PAGE结果表明在4Q7(pHcy1)和4Q7(pHcy3)中均能检测到正常表达的Cry11Aa蛋白,但单位体积培养液的Cry11Aa蛋白在辅助蛋白P19存在时的表达量明显高于其单独表达的表达量;透射电镜观察显示两菌株中的Cry11Aa蛋白形成了大小相近、形状相似的双梯形晶体;另外,生物测定结果表明重组菌株4Q7(pHcy1)和4Q7(pHcy3)对三龄致倦库蚊的杀虫活性没有显著性差异。该现象说明辅助蛋白P19的缺失对Cry11Aa蛋白的晶体形成和杀蚊活性没有影响,但P19作为分子伴侣在一定程度上帮助提高了Cry11Aa蛋白的表达水平。  相似文献
