A toxin protein from Xenorhabdus nematophila var. pekingensis and insecticidal activity against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera

Xenorhabdus nematophila var. pekingensis, which is highly virulent for many insects, is a symbiotic bacterium of Steinernema carpocapsae isolated from Beijing soil in China. Previous studies demonstrated that the bacterium had high antifeedant activity against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera, Plutella xylostella and Spodoptera exigua. Herein, we report the purification, molecular cloning and antifeedant activity of an intracellular toxic protein from the bacterium. The purified protein displayed a single band and a relative molecular weight of over 212 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE. We designated the protein as XnAFP2. Peptide segments were obtained by MALDI-TOF and covered 40% of the amino acid sequence of a toxin protein from X. nematophilus PMFI1296. The full cDNA sequence encoding for XnAFP2 (Genbank accession number FJ222606) was amplified from X. nematophlia var. pekingensis and consists of 7575 bp. The gene showed homology with up to 99% identity to the A2 gene from X. nematophila strain BP (GenBank accession number AY282763) and 92% identity to the insecticidal toxin xptA2 gene from X. nematophila PMFI 1296 (GenBank accession number AJ308438). The protein caused a rapid cessation in feeding and reduction in larval weight of H. armigera. When fed to third instar larvae of H. armigera in an artificial diet at 6.0 µg/g (w/w) toxin protein, growth reduction reached 97.9%. The insecticidal protein greatly decreased fourth instar larval weight, lengthened larval stage, and reduced pupation and emergence rates. The antifeedant rate in choice and no-choice leaf disk tests against fifth instar larvae was 78.4 and 87.6% in 24 h, respectively.     

Toxic activity of a protein complex purified from Xenorhabdus nematophila HB310 to Plutella xylostella larvae

Abstract Xenorhabdus nematophila, a Gram‐negative proteobacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and associated symbiotically with soil entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae, is pathogenic to a wide range of insects. A protein complex with insecticidal activity was isolated from the cells of X. nematophila HB310 strain using methods of salting out and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Seven polypeptides ranging 50～250 kDa were well separated from the protein complex (named Xnpt) by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)‐PAGE, five of which are identified as XptA2, xptC1, XptB1, GroEL and hypothetical protein by matrix‐assisted laser desorption‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOFMS). Xnpt showed high oral virulence to larvae of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) as its median lethal concentration (LC₅₀) against second and third instar larvae were 331.45 ng/mL and 553.59 ng/mL at 72 h, respectively. The histological analysis of Xnpt‐fed DBM larvae showed extensive histopathological effects on the midgut. Biochemical analysis indicated that Xnpt markedly inhibited the activities of three important enzymes in the midgut. Overall, our data showed that the protein complex isolated from X. nematophila HB310 induced the antifeedant and death of insects by destroying midgut tissues and inhibiting midgut proteases activities.     

培养方式对Xenorhabdus nematophila生长与抗菌活性的影响

为了明确不同培养方式对Xenorhabdus nematophilaYL001生长和抗菌活性的影响,提高YL001菌株的抗菌活性。采用分批发酵方式研究了摇瓶与发酵罐培养对置nematophila YL001生长和抗菌活性的影响。实验结果表明：在通气量2．5L／min、搅拌转速300r／min条件下,发酵罐的体积氧传递系数KLa明显高于摇瓶,通气及供氧状况好于摇瓶,细胞生长及代谢旺盛,细胞生长量较摇瓶发酵增加了23．9％;但由于pH变化幅度大,抗菌物质的活性单位仅达到摇瓶的发酵水平,为229U／mL。发酵罐pH控制初步研究表明,发酵过程中控制pH为7．5时,细胞生长量和抗菌活性达到23．71g/L和290U／mL,较不控制pH分别增加了21％和25％。通风对X.nematophila YL001生长和抗菌物质的产生有较大的影响,发酵罐培养时通气及供氧状况好于摇瓶,有利于YL001菌株的生长和抗菌物质的产生。     

Optimization of fermentation condition for antibiotic production by Xenorhabdus nematophila with response surface methodology

Aims: To evaluate the influence of environmental parameters on the production of antibiotics (xenocoumacins and nematophin) by Xenorhabdus nematophila and enhance the antibiotic activity. Methods and Results: Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of five parameters (the initial pH, medium volume in flask, rotary speed, temperature and inoculation volume) on the production of antibiotics in flask cultures by X. nematophila YL001. A 2^5?1‐factorial central composite design was chosen to explain the combined effects of the five parameters and to design a minimum number of experiments. The experimental results and software‐predicted values of production of antibiotics were comparable. The statistical analysis of the results showed that, in the range studied, medium volume in flask, rotary speed, temperature and inoculation volume had a significant effect (P < 0·05) on the production of antibiotics at their individual level, medium volume in flask and rotary speed showed a significant influence at interactive level and were most significant at individual level. The maximum antibiotic activity was achieved at the initial pH 7·64, medium volume in 250 ml flask 25 ml, rotary speed of 220 rev min^?1, temperature 27·8°C and inoculation volume of 15·0%. Maximum antibiotic activity of 331·7 U ml^?1 was achieved under the optimized condition. Conclusions: As far as known, there are no reports of production of antibiotic from X. nematophila by engineering the condition of fermentation using RSM. The results strongly support the use of RSM for fermentation condition optimization. The optimization of the environmental parameters resulted not only in a 43·4% higher antibiotic activity than unoptimized conditions but also in a reduced amount of the experiments. The chosen method of optimization of fermentation condition was efficient, relatively simple and time and material saving. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study should contribute towards improving the antibiotics activity of X. nematophila. Integrated into a broader study of the impact of environmental factors on the production of antibiotic, this work should help to build more rational control strategy, possibly involving scale‐up of production of antibiotics by X. nematophila.     

嗜线虫致病杆菌血腔毒素Tp40对大蜡螟幼虫体内酶活和中肠组织的影响

嗜线虫致病杆菌Xenorhabdus nematophila在侵入到寄主昆虫血腔后能够成功地逃避或抑制寄主昆虫的免疫反应并快速杀死昆虫。为深入了解嗜线虫致病杆菌的杀虫机理,明确关键的致病因子,作者应用盐析和制备型非变性凝胶电泳等方法,从嗜线虫致病杆菌HB310菌株的细胞内分离纯化了一种新的杀虫蛋白——Tp40,该蛋白对大蜡螟Galleria mellonella具有高血腔注射活性,对大蜡螟5龄幼虫的LD₅₀为68.54 ng/头。本文检测了该毒素对大蜡螟幼虫的致病特性,注射Tp40毒素后,大蜡螟幼虫表现出兴奋和痉挛等症状,当以不低于（70±0.02）ng/头的剂量注射Tp40,大蜡螟幼虫均在20 min内死亡,但试虫的体色 、血淋巴的颜色以及血细胞的形态没有发生明显的变化。对大蜡螟体内酶活性的测定结果显示,在注射LD₅₀剂量的Tp40蛋白后,试虫体内羧酸酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶活力都明显的高于对照（P<0.05）,而酚氧化酶活力显著低于对照（P<0.05）。对大蜡螟幼虫中肠的组织病理学研究显示：这种42 kDa蛋白能够破坏试虫的中肠组织,导致其肠壁细胞出现排列紊乱、脱落和围食膜消失。据此推测,Tp40与嗜线虫致病杆菌对寄主昆虫的免疫抑制有关,寄主中肠组织可能是其作用靶标之一。     

Synergism between Bacillus thuringiensis and Xenorhabdus nematophila against resistant and susceptible Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

The diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella (L.) is one of the most destructive pests of crucifer crops in many parts of the world. Inappropriate applications have caused DBM to become resistant to most insecticides. We tested the combined effects of the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Xenorhabdus nematophila (Xn) against DBM. Populations of Bt-resistant moths (DBM-R), selected repeatedly with B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 (Bt HD-73), showed resistance rates of 105.43 and 0.92 for Bt HD-73 and X. nematophila HB310 (Xn HB310), respectively. These results not only indicated that DBM-R is highly resistant to Bt HD-73 and only slightly resistant to Xn HB310, but also showed that there is no interactive resistance between the two bacteria. For the third-instar larvae of DBM-R and DBM-S, no significant differences were found in the oral insecticidal activities of Bt HD-73?+?Xn HB310 combination treatments or Bt HD-73 alone. However, mortality rates were significantly increased in response to Xn HB310?+?Bt HD-73 when compared with the Xn HB310-alone treatment. These results demonstrate a synergism of Bt on Xn, but no such effect of Xn on Bt. Therefore, our findings highlight the potential for both bacteria to be used in a mixture for field applications.
