The invention relates to a
ribosome toxin and an encoding
gene, and an application thereof. The
gene provided by the invention is any one
DNA molecule of the following (1)-(3): (1)
a DNA molecule shown in a sequence 1 in a sequence table; (2)
a DNA molecule hybridized with the
DNA sequence defined by the (1) under strict conditions and encoding a
protein having the activity of poisoning and killing insects; and (3)
a DNA sequence having at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% homology with the
DNA sequence defined by the (1) and encoding a
protein having the activity of poisoning and killing insects. The DNA sequence of HtA is optimized, the method for high-efficiency expression and quick purification of the HtA recombinant
protein is provided, is of important value for the field of
insect resistance, especially for breeding of
insect-resistant
plant varieties, and is of important significance for increasing the yield of crops.
