Nucleotide sequence and molecular characterization of the structural glycoprotein gp41 gene homologue of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Spodoptera litura</Emphasis> nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SpltNPV-I)

The structural glycoprotein gene gp41 homologue of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SpltNPV-I *) was identified in the 4.0 kb EcoRI-L fragment of the viral genome. The nucleotide sequence of 2063 bp of this fragment revealed an open reading frame of 1014 nucleotides to encode a polypeptide of 337 amino acids. Analysis of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the putative ORF indicated its identity with gp41 protein of other baculoviruses sharing maximum homology with that of Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SfNPV). The coding sequence was preceded by an AT-rich region containing the consensus baculoviral late promoter motif RTAAG. The putative SpltNPV gp41 ORF was abundantly expressed as a 37 kDa apoprotein in E. coli and as a 50 kDa glycoprotein in Sf9 cells. The recombinant protein expressed in insect cells was glycosylated (20%) and has GlcNAc as the terminal sugar. The gene is conserved among baculoviruses and places SpltNPV-I close to Spodoptera frugiperda and Spodoptera exigua NPVs in phylogenetic tree.Assigned GenBank accession no. for the nucleotide sequence data is AF445192.abbreviated as SlNPV in earlier publications and GenBank     

保幼激素类似物对斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒增殖的影响

分别用5×10⁶,1×10⁷,5×10⁷,1×10⁸ PIBs/mL 4种浓度的斜纹夜蛾核多角体病毒(SpltNPV)感染斜纹夜蛾末龄幼虫（第6龄）,并于同龄期以10μg/头的保幼激素类似物(JHA) methoprene分别对各感染组进行点滴处理,以研究JHA对SpltNPV增殖的影响。研究表明,与对照组相比各不同浓度处理组病毒总产量分别提高227.06%、128.71%、52.62%、33.15%,平均单头病毒含量分别提高49.15%、48.40%、36.40%和31.11%,病毒感染死亡率分别提高119.21%、52.72%、12.64%和1.12%。其中以1×10.7 PIBs/mL感染再经JHA处理的病毒总产量和平均单头病毒含量最高,分别为1 701.8×10⁸PIBs和60.1×10⁸ PIBs。各处理组的病毒总产量和平均单头病毒含量均显著高于其对照组。在此基础上,进一步研究了JHA对染毒与未染毒宿主消化生理的影响。结果表明,JHA处理不仅延长了6龄幼虫的寿命,增加了其取食量,而且还显著提高了幼虫的食物转化率和病毒产量。     

自然界斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒的基因型多态性

【目的】从基因组序列角度进一步揭示自然界斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒（Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus, SpltNPV）的基因型多态性。【方法】病毒克隆A5, F1, X3 和 X15分别以活体克隆法分离自SpltNPV埃及株、 日本福冈株和日本小笠原株。根据SpltNPV基因组全序列（GenBank登录号: AF325155）和海灰翅夜蛾核型多角体病毒（S. littoralis NPV, SpliNPV）部分基因序列（GenBank登录号: X99377, X99376 和X98924）设计引物, PCR扩增获得A5, F1, X3 和 X15的多角体蛋白（polyhedrin, polh）基因和ORF18~ORF23序列。【结果】根据多角体蛋白基因序列, X3和X15属于SpltNPV型, 而A5和F1属于SpliNPV型。将A5, F1, X3 和 X15的ORF18~ORF23与SpltNPV和SpliNPV相应的基因序列进行同源性比较。结果发现, F1与SpliNPV以及X3与SpltNPV的核苷酸序列相似性高, 但X3的ORF20在172~558 nt处缺失387 bp。尽管依据多角体蛋白基因序列X15属于SpltNPV型, 但对于ORF18~ORF23序列, X15与SpliNPV的相似性高于与SpltNPV的相似性。同样, A5属于SpliNPV型, ORF18~ORF20与SpliNPV相应的核苷酸序列相似性高, 但ORF21与SpltNPV相应的核苷酸序列一致性为100%, 特别是ORF22, SpltNPV的特有序列出现在A5的基因组中, 而且与SpltNPV的ORF22一致性为100%; 反过来, ORF23又与SpliNPV相应的核苷酸序列相似性高。【结论】所有这些都表明, SpltNPV在自然界不仅存在基因型多态性, 而且即使属于同一基因型, 它们的基因组序列也有显著差异。可利用SpltNPV在自然界的这种异质性筛选适宜防治斜纹夜蛾幼虫的株系。

保幼激素类似物对斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒在宿主血淋巴中增殖动态的影响

通过研究保幼激素类似物(juvenile hormone analogues, JHA) methoprene对斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒（Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus, SpltNPV）在宿主血淋巴中增殖的影响,以探明JHA促进 SpltNPV增殖的初步机制,为阐明JHA促进病毒增殖提供更全面的理论依据。应用SDS PAGE及Western blot法,分析了methoprene对SpltNPV多角体蛋白(polyhedron, POLH)在宿主斜纹夜蛾6龄幼虫血淋巴中合成的影响。结果表明：经methoprene处理后2～3天可明显促进幼虫血淋巴液中POLH的合成。在此基础上,通过荧光定量PCR检测,发现methoprene对SpltNPV在幼虫血淋巴液复制的影响主要发生在处理后的第4和第5天,该期间polh基因的拷贝数比对照显著增加,拷贝数的峰值达1.22×10¹⁰/mL。     

Identification and expression of a conserved ubiquitin gene homologue of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV-I)

An ORF having a potential to code for a polypeptide of 79 amino acids has been identified within 993 nt sequence of 2 kb EcoRI-W fragment of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV-I). Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence analyses showed its identity with the ubiquitin homologue of eukaryotes (79–80%), Melanoplus sanguinipes entomopoxvirus (76%) and other baculoviruses (72–89%). The ORF is under baculovirus late promoter motif RTAAG but unlike other baculoviruses, three such motifs at –6, –10 and –27 position are present in SpltNPV. The ORF expresses as a 10 kDa protein in E. coli and the purified recombinant protein showed crossreactivity with the rabbit anti-ubiquitin antibodies.     

Influence of incubation temperature on productivity and quality of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus

Mass production of baculoviruses by in vivo methods is influenced by several factors like larval age at virus treatment, virus concentration and the incubation temperature. The larval age at virus treatment and virus concentration should be synchronized to result in insect death at a fully grown larval stage to maximize the productivity. Since temperature influences both the growth of the larvae and replication of the virus, we evaluated the influence of incubation temperature on mass production of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV) at four different temperature regimes viz., 25, 30, and 35 °C and room temperature by diet-surface contamination method. Incubation of early fifth instar larvae dosed with 3932.4 polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIB)/mm² at 25 °C enhanced the virus productivity to 6.623 × 10¹¹ PIB yield/100 inoculated larvae, while it was only 1.779 × 10¹¹ at 35 °C. The disease progression in the virus treated larvae was slow with median lethal time (LT₅₀) of 208 h at 25 °C as compared to 136 h at 35 °C. In spite of the slow death which means lower production cycles/year, the productivity/year was higher at 25 °C than at other temperatures. The SpltNPV produced at 25 °C was also found to be of superior quality in terms of low bacterial contaminants than at 35 °C. Neonate larval bioassay conducted with viruses produced at different temperature treatments revealed that they were similar in their activity and virulence. Hence our results indicate that maintenance of the SpltNPV production facility at 25 °C would enhance both the virus productivity and quality.

Effect of juvenile hormone and pyriproxyfen treatments on the production of Spodoptera litura nuclear polyhedrosis virus

Efficient production is essential for developing baculoviruses into marketable bioinsecticides. In this study, we evaluated how juvenile hormone (JH) III and the JH analog pyriproxyfen affected the production efficiency of Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV) in SpltNPV‐inoculated early sixth instars. Both the JH III and pyriproxyfen treatments significantly enhanced the body size and weight of S. litura, which resulted in a 1.5‐ to 2‐fold increase in the production of occlusion bodies (OBs). The OBs obtained from JH‐ and pyriproxyfen‐treated larvae were as pathogenic as those produced in untreated larvae. More importantly, JH‐ or pyriproxy‐fen‐treated larvae consumed less than twice the amount of food consumed by two untreated larvae. These results indicate that JH and pyriproxyfen treatments improve the production efficiency of SpltNPV in S. litura. SpltNPV infection affected the development of S. litura not only as larvae, but also during subsequent growth stages and generations.
