苏云金芽胞杆菌营养期杀虫蛋白Vip与Cry蛋白的协同作用

将构建的营养期杀虫蛋白基因vip3表达质粒pBMB2328和含杀虫晶体蛋白基因(crylAc10或crylCa)质粒同时电转化无质粒突变株BMB171并双抗筛选。经PCR特异引物扩增验证,分别得到含crylAc10和vip83、crylCa和vip83的双基因重组菌BMB2830-171和BMB2882-171。用单基因重组菌作对照,分别测定了营养期杀虫蛋白Vip83与杀虫晶体蛋白CrylAc10和Cry1Ca两组蛋白对3种重要鳞翅目害虫毒力。经统计分析,结果表明两组杀虫蛋白Vip83与CrylAc10和Vip83与CrylCa之间对棉铃虫均存在拮抗作用,对甜菜夜蛾协同作用不明显;但对小菜蛾前协同作用不明显,而后则有增效作用,其共毒系数为32．6。双基因的遗传稳定性检测表明这种正负协同关系具有一定的分子遗传稳定性,可为高效广谱工程菌的构建提供依据。     

苏云金杆菌营养期杀虫蛋白的研究

营养期杀虫蛋白 (vegetativeinsecticidalproteins ,VIPs)是苏云金杆菌 (Bacillusthuringiensis,Bt)在对数生长中期分泌的一类新型杀虫毒蛋白。VIPs主要分为VIP1、VIP2和VIP3三种。VIP1和VIP2构成二元毒素 ,对鞘翅目叶甲科的昆虫具有杀虫特异性 ;而VIP3对鳞翅目昆虫具有较广谱的杀虫活性。VIP1和VIP2的杀虫作用机理还不清楚 ;VIP3通过诱发细胞凋亡 ,最终导致昆虫死亡 ,这种作用机理与Bt杀虫晶体蛋白的作用机理完全不同 ,这为筛选新的杀虫活性物质提供了新的思路。vip基因现已被应用于转基因杀虫植物的构建 ,得到高效抗虫的多价转基因玉米。此外 ,VIPs嵌合蛋白的构建、vip及其融合基因导入其它许多宿主微生物等方面的研究也具有诱人的潜在应用前景。     

苏云金芽孢杆菌新型营养期杀虫蛋白Vip3A研究

营养期杀虫蛋白（Vegetative Insecticidal Protein,Vip）Vip3A是苏云金芽孢杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）在营养生长对数中期分泌产生的一类新型杀虫蛋白。Vip3A广泛存在于Bt中,与晶体杀虫蛋白（Insecticidal Crystal Proteins,ICPs）没有任何同源性,不具有多样性,在遗传上比较保守。其N-端存在一趋化信号传导因子相似序列,C-端存在着纤维素结合结构域。Vip3A蛋白通过诱发细胞凋亡,最终导致细胞死亡,这与Bt δ-内毒素的作用机理完全不同。本文主要对Vip3A杀虫蛋白的发现、特性及作用机理作一简要综述。

Diversity of Colombian strains of Bacillus thuringiensis with insecticidal activity against dipteran and lepidopteran insects

AIM: To evaluate the genetic and molecular diversity and insecticidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates from all the natural regions of Colombia. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 445 isolates from a collection of B. thuringiensis were characterized. The parasporal crystal morphology that was most abundant was bipyramidal (60%). Almost 10% of the isolates were toxic to Spodoptera frugiperda and 5.6% against Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. cry gene content determined by PCR indicated that 10.6% of the isolates contained cry1 genes and 1.1% contained cry2, cry4 or cry11 genes. Protein content of the parasporal crystal was determined by SDS-PAGE; 25 and 18 different protein profiles were found in isolates active against S. frugiperda and C. quinquefasciatus, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Bacillus thuringiensis presents great genetic and molecular diversity even in isolates from the same soil sample. Moreover, the diversity and activity of the isolates might have a relationship with the geographical origin of the samples. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results obtained here indicate that some of the B. thuringiensis isolates characterized in this study are potential control agents that could be used in programmes against mosquitoes and S. frugiperda.     

Isolation, characterization and expression of a novel vegetative insecticidal protein gene of Bacillus thuringiensis

Twenty-four serovars of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were screened by polymerase chain reaction to detect the presence of vegetative insecticidal protein gene (vip)-like sequences by using vip3Aa1-specific primers. vip-like gene sequences were identified in eight serovars. These genes were cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of the vip3Aa14 gene from Bacillus thuringiensis tolworthi showed considerable differences as compared to those of Vips reported so far. The vip3Aa14 gene from Bt tolwarthi was expressed in Escherichia coli using expression vector pET29a. The expressed Vip3Aa14 protein was found in cytosolic supernatant as well as pellet fraction, but the protein was more abundant in the cytosolic supernatant fraction. Both full-length and truncated (devoid of signal sequence) Vips were highly toxic to the larvae of Spodoptera litura and Plutella xylostella. Truncation of Vip3Aa14 protein at N-terminus did not affect its insecticidal activity.

A proteomic analysis approach to study insecticidal crystal proteins from different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis

We obtained and compared a new cry2Ac6 gene from Bacillus wuhanensis 140, and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) subsp. kurstaki 4.0718 and B.t. kurstaki XL004 that share a similar genetic background but occupy different ecological niches. Using a proteomic approach and function-based activity profiling, we systemically identified the insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) from the three Bt species, which were found to be mainly distributed at pH 4–7 on two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) gels by PDQuest software. The proteins that exhibited a significant difference in expression were excised, digested in-gel and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Thirty-three differently expressed proteins were identified from the three Bt strains. The Cry2Ac6, Cry1Ab16, CryIG, CryH2, CryI, CryINA67-1 and CryI⁺ crystal protein mixture from B.t. wuhanensis 140, Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa and endotoxin delta1 from B.t. kurstaki 4.0718 were further analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. Two common proteins were founded in three strains, the heat shock proteins (HSP60) and the translation elongation factor Tu, which help with protein refolding and prevent protein degradation. The different enzymes of metabolism, including glutamate racemase, chemotaxis protein histidine kinase and related kinases pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1orE3 were identified. Some protein spots could not be identified. The results indicate that each Bt strain has unique ICPs as well as some common proteins related to ICPs formation, and that the virulence of Bt strains is closely related to the expression of specific ICPs.     

苏云金芽胞杆菌营养期杀虫蛋白基因vip3A在枯草芽胞杆菌中的表达

枯草芽胞杆菌Bacillus subtilis常被用于表达杀虫和抗菌蛋白.为了探讨苏云金芽胞杆菌B. thuringiensis营养期杀虫蛋白基因（vip3A）在枯草芽胞杆菌中的表达情况,促进杀虫防病工程菌构建,将枯草芽胞杆菌168菌株核糖体小亚基S4蛋白基因的启动子与苏云金芽胞杆菌WB7菌株vip3A基因的编码序列连接,插入大肠杆菌Escherichia coli与枯草芽胞杆菌穿梭载体pAD123,得到重组原核表达质粒pADpvip,将重组质粒转化枯草芽胞杆菌标准菌株168和分离自辣椒体内的生防内生枯草芽胞杆菌BS-2菌株中,获得工程菌株.SDS-PAGE分析表明在枯草芽胞杆菌168菌株的部分工程菌株中有约88 kDa大小的VIP条带,而BS-2的工程菌株中未见相应的条带,表明Vip3A蛋白仅在168菌株中表达.生物测定表明有5株168的工程菌株（168vip1-4,6）表现较高的杀虫活性,工程菌株发酵稀释液（约10⁷CFU/mL）处理的小白菜叶片饲喂斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫72 h的杀虫效果可达87.64%~92.13%,但vip3A基因转入内生枯草芽胞杆菌BS-2中不表现杀虫作用.毒力测定表明168vip2菌株对斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫72 h的LC₅₀为0.0194 mL/mL.这些结果为进一步研究基因在枯草芽胞杆菌中的表达构建杀虫防病工程菌打下了基础.     

Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3 mutant proteins: Insecticidal activity and trypsin sensitivity

Vip3 is a novel insect toxin isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and could be used as an alternative toxin for Bt δ-endotoxins for transgenic insect control. Vip3 mutants with deletion, addition or mutations at the very end of the C-terminus were generated. The deletion and addition of a few amino acid residues at the C-terminus totally abolished the insecticidal activity. The mutation of the last two residues from IK to LG also resulted in the total loss of its insecticidal activity; however, the mutation from IK to LR increased its activity substantially against beet armyworm. Interestingly, all the inactive mutants were found to be highly sensitive to trypsin digestion, while the active mutant generated a trypsin-resistant polypeptide of 62-kDa upon trypsin digestion. However, this 62-kDa polypeptide expressed in E. coli from the 5' end truncated vip3 gene was biologically inactive and sensitive to trypsin digestion. Thus, the N-terminal part of the protein is required to form the 62-kDa trypsin resistant core. This study suggested that the 62-kDa peptide core could be a hallmark of active insecticidal Vip3 proteins.

Vegetative insecticidal protein enhancing the toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp kurstaki against Spodoptera exigua

AIMS: The objective of this work was to enhance the insecticidal activity or widen the pesticidal spectrum of a commercial Bacillus thuringiensis strain YBT1520. METHODS AND RESULTS: A vegetative insecticidal protein gene vip3Aa7, under the control of its native promoter and cry3A promoter, was subcloned into B. thuringiensis acrystalliferous BMB171 to generate BMB8901 and BMBvip respectively. It was found that the amount of Vip3Aa7 protein produced by BMBvip was 3.2-fold more than that produced by BMB8901. Therefore, the vip3Aa7 gene under the control of cry3A promoter was transformed into strain YBT1520. The toxicity of the resulting strain BMB218V against Spodoptera exigua was 10-fold more than that of YBT1520, and that the toxicity of BMB218V against Helicoverpa armigera retained the same level as that of strain YBT1520. CONCLUSIONS: Strain YBT1520 obtained high toxicity against S. exigua after it was transformed and expressed the foreign vip3Aa7 gene. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Commercial B. thuringiensis strain YBT1520 has high toxicity against H. armigera and Plutella xylostella, but almost no activity against S. exigua, which is a major crop pest in China. This work provides a new strategy for widening the activity spectrum of B. thuringiensis against agriculture pests.
