The presence of cyt genes was investigated in 80 type strains of Bacillus thuringiensis and 143 isolates obtained from soil samples of China by PCR amplification using two pairs of primers for the cyt1 and cyt2 genes. Three type strains of serotypes H11ac, H14 and H36, eight isolates belonging to H3, H14, H18 and H21, and one isolate of unknown serotype harbored cyt genes. We also tested the cytolytic activity for mammal cells, the hemolytic activity for sheep erythrocytes and insecticidal activity against mosquitoes of five isolates that contained cyt genes but did not belong to B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis. The protein profiles of the five isolates were different from those of the type strains of B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis, and among the five isolates, only Y-5 showed mosquitocidal activity against larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. All five of the isolates exhibited hemolytic activity, but only three could cause the cell death of A549 cells. The cytopathological changes induced by NX-4 in some A549 cells were characterized with cell-ballooning. 相似文献

Bacillus thuringiensis is an insect pathogen used worldwide as a bioinsecticide. It belongs to the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group as well as Bacillus anthracis and B. cereus. Plasmids from this group of organisms have been implicated in pathogenicity as they carry the genes responsible for different types of diseases that affect mammals and insects. Some plasmids, like pAW63 and pBT9727, encode a functional conjugation machinery allowing them to be transferred to a recipient cell. They also share extensive homology with the non-functional conjugation apparatus of pXO2 from B. anthracis. In this study we report the complete sequence of three plasmids from an environmental B. thuringiensis isolate from Argentina, obtained by a shotgun sequencing method. We obtained the complete nucleotide sequence of plasmids pFR12 (12 095 bp), pFR12.5 (12 459 bp) and pFR55 (55 712 bp) from B. thuringiensis INTA-FR7-4. pFR12 and pFR12.5 were classified as cryptic as they do not code for any obvious functions besides replication and mobilization. Both small plasmids were classified as RCR plasmids due to similarities with the replicases they encode. Plasmid pFR55 showed a structural organization similar to that observed for plasmids pAW63, pBT9727 and pXO2. pFR55 also shares a tra region with these plasmids, containing genes related to T4SS and conjugation. A comparison between pFR55 and conjugative plasmids led to the postulation that pFR55 is a conjugative plasmid. Genes related to replication functions in pFR55 are different to those described for plasmids with known complete sequences. pFR55 is the first completely sequenced plasmid with a replication machinery related to that of ori44. The analysis of the complete sequence of plasmids from an environmental isolate of B. thuringiensis permitted the identification of a near complete conjugation apparatus in pFR55, resembling those of plasmids pAW63, pBT9727 and pXO2. The availability of this sequence is a step forward in the study of the molecular basis of the conjugative process in Gram positive bacteria, particularly due to the similarity with known conjugation systems. It is also a contribution to the expansion of the non-pathogenic B. cereus plasmid gene pool. 相似文献

The amino acid sequences necessary for entomocidal activity of the CryIA(b) protoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis were determined. Introduction of stop codons behind codons Arg601, Phe604 or Ala607 showed that amino acid residues C-terminal to Ala607 are not required for insecticidal activity and that activation by midgut proteases takes place distal to Ala607. The two shortest polypeptides, deleted for part of the highly conserved -strand, were prone to proteolytic degradation, explaining their lack of toxicity. Apparently, this -strand is essential for folding of the molecule into a stable conformation. Proteolytic activation at the N-terminus was investigated by removing the first 28 codons, resulting in a translation product extending from amino acid 29 to 607. This protein appeared to be toxic not only to susceptible insect larvae such as Manduca sexta and Heliothis virescens, but also to Escherichia coli cells. An additional mutant, encoding only amino acid residues 29–429, encompassing the complete putative pore forming domain, but lacking a large part of the receptor-binding domain, was similarly toxic to E. coli cells. This suggests a role for the N-terminal 28 amino acids in rendering the toxin inactive in Bacillus thuringiensis, and indicates that the cytolytic potential of the pore forming domain is only realized after proteolytic removal of these residues by proteases in the insect gut. In line with this hypothesis are results obtained with a mutant protein in which Arg28 at the cleavage site was replaced by Asp. This substitution prevented the protein from being cleaved by trypsin in vitro, and reduced its toxicity to M. sexta larvae. 相似文献

【目的】萜类化合物广泛分布在生物界,是重要的生命物质。目前发现有两条萜类化合物的生物合成途径,即甲羟戊酸(MVA)途径和2-甲基-D-赤藓糖醇-4-磷酸(MEP)途径。MEP代谢途径中的关键酶1-脱氧-D-木酮糖-5-磷酸还原异构化酶(DXR,EC1.1.1.267)催化1-脱氧-D-木酮糖-5-磷酸生成MEP。枯草芽胞杆菌中dxr基因编码DXR酶,而在苏云金芽胞杆菌(Bacillusthuringiensis,Bt)中有2个基因(dxr1和dxr2)编码DXR酶。通过分析BtHD73菌株的dxr1基因的转录活性和dxr1突变体表型,明确dxr1基因的转录调控机制和功能。【方法】通过5?RACE分析dxr1的转录起始位点;β-半乳糖苷酶活性测定分析dxr1基因启动子(Pdxr1)的转录活性;采用同源重组技术分别敲除BtHD73菌株的dxr1和dxr2基因;利用总蛋白定量确定Cry1Ac蛋白产量;利用DXR检测试剂盒检测Bt菌株的DXR活性。【结果】dxr1基因的转录起始位点位于起始密码子上游39 bp处的G碱基;与出发菌株HD73相比,Pdxr1在sig H突变体中的转录活性明显降低;dxr1或dxr2基因的缺失对菌体生长、芽胞形成率和Cry1Ac蛋白产量无显著影响,但使DXR活性下降。【结论】Bt中dxr1基因的转录受Sig H控制,dxr1基因的缺失影响DXR的活性。 相似文献

杀虫晶体蛋白(insecticidal crystal proteins,ICPs;含有Cry和Cyt 2大家族)和营养期杀虫蛋白(vegetative insecticidal proteins,Vips)等Bt杀虫蛋白可有效防治鳞翅目害虫,其中Cry应用最广泛。然而,一些地区的鳞翅目害虫已对Bt杀虫蛋白产生了抗性。目前,普遍认为鳞翅目昆虫中肠受体与Bt杀虫蛋白结合能力的改变是导致其对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的最主要因素。在鳞翅目昆虫中,Cry受体是研究得最为透彻的Bt受体,已经被证实的有氨肽酶N、钙黏蛋白、碱性磷酸酶和ABC转运蛋白等。Vips杀虫蛋白类与鳞翅目昆虫中肠受体的结合方式与Cry杀虫蛋白相似,但结合位点与Cry杀虫蛋白不同。本文从结构特点、作用机制及不同鳞翅目昆虫间的表达差异等角度对以上4种鳞翅目昆虫中肠Bt受体进行了综述,并提出如下展望:(1)以棉铃虫或小菜蛾等鳞翅目昆虫为农业害虫模式生物进行深入研究,阐明其对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的机制,为研究其他鳞翅目农业害虫对Bt杀虫蛋白产生抗性的机制提供理论借鉴;(2)鉴于在不同鳞翅目昆虫间,中肠Bt受体与Bt杀虫蛋白结合存在差异,且同一Bt杀虫蛋白与鳞翅目昆虫Bt受体并不专一性结合,Bt杀虫蛋白多基因组合策略是较为有效的田间鳞翅目昆虫防治策略,是今后一段时间内Bt杀虫蛋白应用的发展方向。 相似文献

Development of a cost-effective medium for the large scale production of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis (B.t.i.) has been widely used in mosquito control programs, but the large scale production of this bacillus is expensive because of the high cost of the medium. In this study, we attempted to develop a cost-effective medium, based on inexpensive, locally available raw materials including soybean flour (Glycine max), groundnut cake powder (Arachis hypogea), and wheat bran extract (Triticum aestivum) by using 100-L fermentor. Sporulation, toxicity, and biomass were satisfactory after B.t.i. was produced on all the three media. Use of the soybean culture medium resulted in maximum toxicity (LC50 8.89 ng/ml against Culex quinquefasciatus IIIrd instar larvae), highest spore count (0.48 × 1011 c.f.u./ml), and maximum biomass (7.8 g/L) within a short fermentation time of 24 h. Hence, this soybean-based culture medium was considered most economical for the large scale industrial production of B.t.i. 相似文献

spoIVF是一个普遍存在于芽胞杆菌中的操纵子。在枯草芽胞杆菌中,它编码的两个蛋白是芽胞形成所必需的。采用基因重组技术敲除了苏云金芽胞杆菌G03菌株中的spoIVF操纵子,构建了spoIVF缺失株G03(spoIVF-)。研究表明:该突变株丧失了形成芽胞和晶体的能力。lacZ基因与cry1Aa基因的启动子融合表达分析发现:突变株中的cry1Aa基因的活性严重降低。利用载体pSTK携带spoIVF操纵子在突变株中的表达,使突变株部分恢复了产胞和形成杀虫晶体蛋白的能力。这说明spoIVF操纵子是所必需的,同时该操纵子还影响σE因子控制的cry1Aa基因表达。 相似文献

The feeding of neonate larvae of Pieris brassicae (Order Lepidoptera) on leaves of brassica plants that had been colonised by Bacillus thuringiensis resulted in the death of 35% of the population within 72 h. The bacteria multiplied in the cadavers, resulting in an increase of about 50-fold compared to the living insects. Surviving insects showed no ill effects during the time of the study. There was negligible multiplication of B. thuringiensis in the frass. 相似文献
