有机磷和拟除虫菊酯抗性棉铃虫靶标抗性的分子机理(英文)

对有机磷和拟除虫菊酯抗性 (R)棉铃虫靶标抗性的分子机理 ,即乙酰胆碱酯酶 (AChE)和钠通道敏感度降低进行了研究。根据AChE的动力学常数表明 ,R品系AChE的活性和Vmax值分别是S品系的 1 0 9和 1 2 3倍 ,但R品系的AChE的Km 值仅是S品系的 0 6 7倍。R品系AChE对DDVP和马拉硫磷的Ki值分别是S品系的 0 4 4和 0 55。这表明AChE发生了质的变化。还应用PCR技术对抗性棉铃虫的击倒抗性 (kdr)进行了鉴定 ,克隆了钠通道的IIS6序列、IIS5和IIS6连接片段以及II和III连接片段 ,测序后比较了R和S品系以及其它昆虫的同源性 ,结果在氨基酸水平未发现有任何差异 ,这表明该抗性棉铃虫品系不涉及kdr。

经基因工程改良的抗白叶枯病水稻粳型恢复系“C418-Xa21”及其杂交稻

通过农杆菌介导的转化系统,将业已克隆的水稻抗白叶枯病基因Xa21导入重要的粳型杂交稻恢复系“C418”。PCR和抗性分析表明单拷贝整合的Xa21在T₁代的分离比为3∶1。在T₂代通过PCR和抗性分析选择了Xa21纯合的转基因株系“C41-Xa21”。将选择的转基因纯合系“C418-Xa21”与常用的雄性不育系“屉锦A”杂交,产生了带有转基因Xa21的杂交稻“屉优41-Xa21”(简称转基因杂交稻)。分子分析表明转基因Xa21在杂交稻“屉优418-Xa21”中能稳定遗传;抗性分析表明转基因恢复系“C418-Xa21”和转基因杂交稻“屉优418-Xa21”对白叶枯病具有高度的广谱抗性,并保持了受体对照的优良农艺性状。另外我们还发现转基因杂交稻“屉优418-Xa21”对白叶枯病的抗性水平高于转基因恢复系“C418-Xa21”,这可能是遗传背景的差异所致。抗白叶枯病转基因粳型恢复系和杂交稻的育成将有益于杂交稻在我国北方稻区的推广。     

几种苏芸金杆菌晶体的毒力及形态结构

研究了苏芸金杆菌(Bacillus thurin&itntis)6个变种的7个菌株的提纯晶体对家蚕(Bombyx mori)和棉铃虫(Heliothis armigera)的毒力及其在电镜下的形态与结构。证明7种晶体对两种昆虫的毒力大小有不同的顺序。方形晶体和具镶嵌形的菱形晶体对两种昆虫皆有较高毒力,细小菱形晶体的毒力皆很低,不规则的颗粒状晶体和六角彤晶体不显示毒性或仅具很低毒件。不同晶体的表面结构亦有差异。并证明方形晶体和两种具镶嵌型构造的菱形晶体易受超声波破坏,小菱形及其它两种非菱形晶体对超声波有较大抗性。认为苏芸金杆菌晶体的形态结构及其对超声波的抗性与它们对鳞翅目昆虫的毒力之间有一定关系。     

昆虫抗药性和昆虫毒理动力学(英文)

不断地使用一种杀虫药剂防治昆虫,会导致昆虫产生抗药性。对昆虫抗药性资料进行广泛综述时,发现了仅单独的解毒作用不能被解释为家蝇对有机氯杀虫药剂产生高抗性原因。作为一个基因。家蝇可以对有机氯产生比对有机磷杀虫剂更高的抗药性,尽管有机磷杀虫剂一般在虫体内是不太稳定的。考虑到昆虫毒理的动力学,杀虫药剂的穿透作用更显示出其实际的重要性。根据穿透和解毒的速率,慢的穿透作用是解毒作用的一个限制因子。防治敏感和抗性昆虫的观察结果,可以划出物理和生物因子之间关系的几种相关曲线图解。这些相关性不仅能说明家蝇对有机磷和有机氯杀虫剂的抗性程度,而且也助于选择出新的杀虫毒剂。

碳酸钙促进丙酮酸发酵过程中α-酮戊二酸的形成

在多重维生素营养缺陷型菌株光滑球拟酵母CCTCC M202019发酵生产丙酮酸的摇瓶和发酵罐实验中发现,CaCO₃的添加对发酵液中α-酮戊二酸（α-KG）的积累有重要影响。在维生素浓度不变且供氧充分的前提下,延迟CaCO₃添加时间可明显抑制α-KG的产生,并提高丙酮酸与α-KG的碳摩尔比(C_PYR/C_αKG);而增加培养基中的CaCO₃浓度会导致αKG积累的增加。用不同物质调节发酵液中pH的实验证实：在丙酮酸发酵过程中, Ca²⁺对αKG的积累起主要作用,CO₃^2-起辅助作用,两者对α-KG的积累具有协同效应。维持培养基中CaCO₃浓度不变,改变培养基中硫胺素的浓度,对αKG的积累,特别是对C_PYR/C_α-KG值没有影响;而增加培养基中生物素的浓度,则导致αKG的浓度不断上升且C_PYR/C_α-KG值不断下降。当有Ca2+存在时,胞内丙酮酸羧化酶的活性最高可提高40%,而丙酮酸脱氢酶系的活性没有明显变化。结果表明,丙酮酸发酵过程中α-KG的形成是由于CaCO₃促进了丙酮酸羧化反应,其中Ca²⁺可显著提高丙酮酸羧化酶的活性,而CO₃^2-则有可能作为丙酮酸羧化反应的底物。     

Molecular cloning and characterization of the complete acetylcholinesterase gene (Ace1) from the mosquito Aedes aegypti with implications for comparative genome analysis

Insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been shown to be responsible for resistance to organophosphates and carbamates in a number of arthropod species. Some arthropod genomes contain a single Ace gene, while others including mosquitoes contain two genes, but only one confers insecticide resistance. Here we report the isolation of the full-length cDNA and characterization of the complete genomic DNA sequence for the Ace1 gene in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. The Ace1 homolog in other mosquito species has been associated with insecticide resistance. The full-length cDNA consists of 2721bp and contains a 2109bp open reading frame that encodes a 702 amino acid protein. The amino acid sequence is highly conserved with that of other mosquitoes, including greater than 90% identity with Culex spp. and about 80% identity with Anopheles gambiae. The genomic DNA sequence includes 138,970bp and consists of eight exons with seven introns ranging from 59 to 114,350bp. Exons 2 and 8 show reduced amino acid conservation across mosquito species, while exons 3-7 are highly conserved. The Ace1 introns in Ae. aegypti reflect a high frequency of repetitive sequences that comprise about 45% of the total intron sequence. The Ace1 locus maps to the p-arm of chromosome 3, which corresponds to the orthologous genome regions in Culex spp. and An. gambiae.     

Cloning,mutagenesis, and expression of the acetylcholinesterase gene from a strain of Musca domestica; the change from a drug-resistant to a sensitive enzyme

Insect acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is known to be a primary target of organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides. However chronic exposure to these chemicals has led to resistance to applied insecticides, due usually to mutation of the AChE gene. Analysis of the AChE gene (hm) of Musca domestica (the housefly), which is cloned in this report, reveals the relationship between mutation and insecticide resistance. The 2,076 bp hm encodes a mature protein of 612 amino acids (67 kDa), and an 80 residue signal peptide. Unlike the enzyme of 'sensitive' strains, the AChE used in this study was resistant to the organophosphorus insecticide, trichlorphon. DNA sequencing showed that this AChE is identical to that of the sensitive strains with the exception of three amino acids Met-82, Ala-262, and Tyr-327. Site-directed mutagenesis of the Ala-262 and Tyr-327 residues largely restored sensitivity to the insecticide, suggesting that these two residues are the key structural elements controlling sensitivity. In addition to these residues, Glu-234 and Ala-236 in the conserved sequence FGESAG are thought to play a role in modulating sensitivity to organophosphorus insecticides.     

Absence of protein polymorphism attributable to insecticide-insensitivity of acetylcholinesterase in the green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps

The cDNA sequence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from the green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps, was amplified, based on conserved peptide sequences of AChEs. A 2.3 kb contiguous sequence, containing an ORF encoding an AChE precursor with 677 amino acid residues was obtained. The deduced protein sequence showed the most similarity to that of AChE in the Colorado potato beetle, having common features in the primary AChE structure. cDNA sequences of individual leafhoppers from an insecticide susceptible strain and the resistant strain Nakagawara, whose methylcarbamate-insensitive AChEs show 10(2) or more I(50) ratio for propoxur, were compared. No fixed inter-strain difference was identified in the protein sequence, though amino acid substitution polymorphism was found at one position in the susceptible strain. Insecticide-insensitivity of leafhopper AChE does not result from changes in the protein primary structure that is encoded by the AChE gene sequence isolated in this study.     

Identification of two acetylcholinesterases in Pardosa pseudoannulata and the sensitivity to insecticides

Pardosa pseudoannulata is an important predatory enemy against insect pests, such as rice planthoppers and leafhoppers. In order to understand the insecticide selectivity between P. pseudoannulata and insect pests, two acetylcholinesterase genes, Pp-ace1 and Pp-ace2, were cloned from this natural enemy. The putative proteins encoded by Pp-ace1 and Pp-ace2 showed high similarities to insect AChE1 (63% to Liposcelis entomophila AChE1) and AChE2 (36% to Culex quinquefasciatus AChE2) with specific functional motifs, which indicated that two genes might encode AChE1 and AChE2 proteins respectively. The recombinant proteins by expressing Pp-ace1 and Pp-ace2 genes in insect sf9 cells showed high AChE activities. The kinetic parameters, V_max and K_m, of two recombinant AChE proteins were significantly different. The sensitivities to six insecticides were determined in two recombinant AChEs. Pp-AChE1 was more sensitive to all tested insecticides than Pp-AChE2, such as fenobucarb (54 times in K_i ratios), isoprocarb (31 times), carbaryl (13 times) and omethoate (6 times). These results indicated that Pp-AChE1 might be the major synaptic enzyme in the spider. By sequence comparison of P. pseudoannulata and insect AChEs, the key amino acid differences at or close to the functional sites were found. The locations of some key amino acid differences were consistent with the point mutation sites in insect AChEs that were associated with insecticide resistance, such as Phe331 in Pp-AChE2 corresponding to Ser331Phe mutation in Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii AChE2, which might play important roles in insecticide selectivity between P. pseudoannulata and insect pests. Of course, the direct evidences are needed through further studies.     

Mutations in the acetylcholinesterase gene of Bactrocera dorsalis associated with resistance to organophosphorus insecticides

Mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, associated with resistance to an organophosphorus insecticide have been characterized. Three point mutations producing nonsynonymous changes in the predicted amino acid sequence of the product of the B. dorsalis ace gene in resistant vs. susceptible flies have been identified. One of these changes is unique to B. dorsalis while the other two occur at sites that are identical to mutations previously described for another Bactrocera species. Although the precise role of the third mutation is not clearly established, the independent origin of two identical alterations in these two species strongly supports the idea proposed previously that molecular changes associated with insecticide resistance in key genes and enzymes such as AChE are largely constrained to a limited number of sites. The results obtained here also suggest that the widespread use of organophosphorus insecticides will likely lead to a predictable acquisition of resistance in wild populations of B. dorsalis as well as other pest species. For surveys of B. dorsalis populations that may develop resistance, diagnostic tests using PCR-RFLP based methods for detecting the presence of all three mutations in individual flies are described.     

无脊椎动物乙酰胆碱酯酶研究进展

乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)是生物体中一种十分重要的神经递质水解酶,也是有机磷和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫剂的作用靶标。AChE在不同生物中的性质显著不同,如编码基因个数、序列保守性、表达分布及生理功能等。作为杀虫剂的主要作用靶标之一,AChE不但可以通过单个点突变引起昆虫抗药性,还能够通过多个点突变联合作用、靶标表达量变化及基因复制等方式引起抗药性并且改变昆虫的适合度代价。本文主要从AChE的基因类型、分子进化、蛋白结构、生理功能、与昆虫的抗药性关系、同一物种中不同AChE的性质等6个方面对昆虫纲、蛛形纲和线虫等无脊椎动物AChE的研究进展作一综述。

The acetylcholinesterase gene and organophosphorus resistance in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), encoded by the Ace gene, is the primary target of organophosphorous (OP) and carbamate insecticides. Ace mutations have been identified in OP resistants strains of Drosophila melanogaster. However, in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, resistance in field and laboratory generated strains is determined by point mutations in the Rop-1 gene, which encodes a carboxylesterase, E3. To investigate the apparent bias for the Rop-1/E3 mechanism in the evolution of OP resistance in L. cuprina, we have cloned the Ace gene from this species and characterized its product. Southern hybridization indicates the existence of a single Ace gene in L. cuprina. The amino acid sequence of L. cuprina AChE shares 85.3% identity with D. melanogaster and 92.4% with Musca domestica AChE. Five point mutations in Ace associated with reduced sensitivity to OP insecticides have been previously detected in resistant strains of D. melanogaster. These residues are identical in susceptible strains of D. melanogaster and L. cuprina, although different codons are used. Each of the amino acid substitutions that confer OP resistance in D. melanogaster could also occur in L. cuprina by a single non-synonymous substitution. These data suggest that the resistance mechanism used in L. cuprina is determined by factors other than codon bias. The same point mutations, singly and in combination, were introduced into the Ace gene of L. cuprina by site-directed mutagenesis and the resulting AChE enzymes expressed using a baculovirus system to characterise their kinetic properties and interactions with OP insecticides. The K(m) of wild type AChE for acetylthiocholine (ASCh) is 23.13 microM and the point mutations change the affinity to the substrate. The turnover number of Lucilia AChE for ASCh was estimated to be 1.27x10(3) min(-1), similar to Drosophila or housefly AChE. The single amino acid replacements reduce the affinities of the AChE for OPs and give up to 8.7-fold OP insensitivity, while combined mutations give up to 35-fold insensitivity. However, other published studies indicate these same mutations yield higher levels of OP insensitivity in D. melanogaster and A. aegypti. The inhibition data indicate that the wild type form of AChE of L. cuprina is 12.4-fold less sensitive to OP inhibition than the susceptible form of E3, suggesting that the carboxylesterases may have a role in the protection of AChE via a sequestration mechanism. This provides a possible explanation for the bias towards the evolution of resistance via the Rop-1/E3 mechanism in L. cuprina.     

A novel acetylcholinesterase gene in mosquitoes codes for the insecticide target and is non-homologous to the ace gene in Drosophila

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the target of two major insecticide families, organophosphates (OPs) and carbamates. AChE insensitivity is a frequent resistance mechanism in insects and responsible mutations in the ace gene were identified in two Diptera, Drosophila melanogaster and Musca domestica. However, for other insects, the ace gene cloned by homology with Drosophila does not code for the insensitive AChE in resistant individuals, indicating the existence of a second ace locus. We identified two AChE loci in the genome of Anopheles gambiae, one (ace-1) being a new locus and the other (ace-2) being homologous to the gene previously described in Drosophila. The gene ace-1 has no obvious homologue in the Drosophila genome and was found in 15 mosquito species investigated. In An. gambiae, ace-1 and ace-2 display 53% similarity at the amino acid level and an overall phylogeny indicates that they probably diverged before the differentiation of insects. Thus, both genes are likely to be present in the majority of insects and the absence of ace-1 in Drosophila is probably due to a secondary loss. In one mosquito (Culex pipiens), ace-1 was found to be tightly linked with insecticide resistance and probably encodes the AChE OP target. These results have important implications for the design of new insecticides, as the target AChE is thus encoded by distinct genes in different insect groups, even within the Diptera: ace-2 in at least the Drosophilidae and Muscidae and ace-1 in at least the Culicidae. Evolutionary scenarios leading to such a peculiar situation are discussed.
