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 β-strand, were prone to proteolytic degradation, explaining their lack of toxicity. Apparently, this β-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

A large number of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates have been obtained from soil samples in China. The flagellar antigen serotypes, cry genes and crystal proteins of 570 Bt isolates were determined, and the pesticidal activity was assayed against the insects, Plutella xylostella, Heliothis armigera, Phaedon brassicae and Locusta migratoria manilensis, and the snail, Oncomelania hupensis. The results indicated that the Bt isolates were distributed within 35 H-serotypes, in which isolates of H3 were the most abundant (20%) followed by H5 (13%), H7 (9%) and H4 (8.7%), whereas isolates of other H-serotypes were less than 6%. The percentage of isolates containing the genes cry1Ac, cry1Aa/cry1Ac, cry1Aa/cry1Ac/cry1Ab, and cry1Aa/cry1Ac/cry1C was 14.7%, 6.6%, 5.6%, and 7.0%, respectively, while 265 isolates, representing 46.5% of the 570 Bt isolates, did not show any amplification product for the genes cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry1C, cry2, cry3, cry4, cry7Aa. Some of the 570 Bt isolates caused high mortality of the assayed pests with 14.9%, 6%, 1.6%, 1.1%, and 0.2% of the isolates killing more than 90% of P. xylostella, H. armigera, P. brassicae, O. hupensis, and L. migratoria manilensis, respectively. The remaining 76.2% of the 570 isolates caused no mortality or less than 90% mortality against the tested insect and snail species. 相似文献

A genetically-engineered Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain, 3A-HBF, with a broad insecticidal spectrum was constructed by introducing the recombinant plasmid pSTK-3A containing
cry3Aa7 into the wild-type Bt strain HBF-1 containing the cry8Ca2 gene. The Cry3Aa7 protein produced by strain 3A-HBF was verified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Flat rectangular crystals
of Cry3Aa7 protein were observed besides spherical crystals (Cry8Ca2). The plasmid pSTK-3A was stable when strain 3A-HBF was
grown in medium without antibiotics. The growth rate of 3A-HBF was not significantly different from that of the recipient
strain, HBF-1. Strain 3A-HBF showed toxicity against two families of pests, Scarabaeidae and Chrysomelidae pests, which are
susceptible to Cry8Ca (Anomala corpulenta) and Cry3Aa (Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Colaphellus bowringi). The 50% lethal concentrations of 3A-HBF against A. corpulenta, L. decemlineata and C. bowringi were 0.730 × 108 c.f.u./g dry soil, 1.74 μg/ml and 1.15 μg/ml, respectively. 相似文献

The delta-endotoxin of 12 strains in 10 subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner was highly active against Cydia pomonella (L.) when assayed under laboratory conditions on artificial diet. These results could not be confirmed in the field.The disappointing results obtained under field conditions are due to the behaviour of the target insect. C. pomonella larvae do not ingest food during penetration of the fruit. The larva bites pieces of the epidermis and deposits them without ingestion on top of the entry hole.
Zusammenfassung Das delta-Endotoxin von B.t. war in Laborversuch auf Kunstmedium gegenüber den Larven des Apfelwicklers, C. pomonella, sehr aktiv. Die hohe Aktivität konnte aber unter Feldbedingungen nicht mehr bestätigt werden.Es wurde nachgewiesen, dass die unbefriedigenden Resultate von B. thuringiensis unter Feldbedingungen auf das Verhalten der Junglarven zurückzuführen sind: Die Larven nehmen während dem Eindringen in den Apfel keine Nahrung auf, sondern deponieren die herausgebissenen Epidermistücke über der Einbohrstelle.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

Activation of Cry protoxins is carried out by midgut proteases. This process is important for toxicity and in some cases for specificity. Commercial proteases have been used for in vitro protoxin activation. In the case of Cry1A protoxins, trypsin digestion generates a toxic fragment of 60–65 kDa. Here, we have analyzed the in vitro and in vivo activation of Cry1Ab. We found differences in the processing of Cry1Ab protoxin by Manduca sexta and Spodoptera frugiperda midgut proteases as compared to trypsin. Midgut juice proteases produced two additional nicks at the N-terminal end removing helices α1 and α2a to produce a 58 kDa protein. A further cleavage within domain II splits the toxin into two fragments of 30 kDa. The resulting fragments were not separated, but instead coeluted with the 58 kDa monomer, in size-exclusion chromatography. To examine if this processing was involved in the activation or degradation of Cry1Ab toxin, binding, pore formation, and toxicity assays were performed. Pore formation assays showed that midgut juice treatment produced a more active toxin than trypsin treatment. In addition, it was determined that the α1 helix is dispensable for Cry1Ab activity. In contrast, the appearance of the 30 kDa fragments correlates with a decrease in pore formation and insecticidal activities. Our results suggest that the cleavage in domain II may be involved in toxin inactivation, and that the 30 kDa fragments are stable intermediates in the degradation pathway. 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

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
