AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because tussah silkworms are susceptible to diseases, which in turn affect related industries and the people's economy, there are more and more studies on tussah silkworm innate immunity, but there are relatively few studies on tussah silkworm midgut and its immune-related mechanisms
At present, there are no broad-spectrum disease-resistant varieties of tussah silkworms in production, so disease resistance and disease-resistant breeding of tussah silkworms are actively explored in the academic and industry circles

Embodiment 1

[0025] Tissue expression characteristics of embodiment 1 tussah ApLITAF gene

[0026] RNA was extracted from each tissue of tussah silkworm, and cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription. After screening the transcriptome data, the primers were designed as follows:

[0027] ApLITAF-gep-F: 5'-tatgcgataatacgttgcgagtg-3' (SEQ ID NO.1);

[0028] ApLITAF-gep-R: 5'-atggttagctataaaatgttcct-3' (SEQ ID NO. 2);

[0029] Using the cDNA of each tissue of tussah silkworm larvae as a template, using SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 as a template, and using APL32 as an internal reference gene, the tissue expression specificity of the ApLITAF gene was verified. The results are as follows: figure 1 The tissue expression profile of tussah silkworm ApLITAF gene shows that 1 and 2 are larval head tissues; 3 and 4 are larval epidermis tissues; 5 and 6 are larval midgut tissues; 7 and 8 are larval silk gland tissues; 9 and 10 are larval tissues Malpighian tubules; 11, 12 are larval hemolymph; 13, 14...

Embodiment 2

[0030] Cloning of embodiment 2 tussah ApLITAF gene

[0031] According to the cloned ApLITAF gene mRNA full-length, design ApLITAF coding sequence primers, as follows:

[0032] ApLITAF-F: 5'-cgccatatgatgaacgttcaagtaatatagacg-3' (SEQ ID NO.3);

[0033] ApLITAF-R: 5'-ccgctcgagttagctataaaatgttcct-3' (SEQ ID NO. 4);

[0034] The cDNA of the midgut tissue of tussah silkworm larvae was used as a template, and the PCR amplification was carried out with SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4 as primers. The amplification conditions were: pre-denaturation at 98°C for 40 seconds; denaturation at 98°C for 15 seconds, annealing at 54.8°C for 30 seconds, extension at 65°C for 35 seconds, a total of 30 cycles; final extension at 65°C for 5 minutes. Electrophoresis of PCR amplification products figure 2 As shown, the fragment size of the tussah midgut-specific expression gene ApLITAF is about 250bp. The amplified product was recovered and sequenced to obtain the ApLITAF coding region sequence (SEQ ...

Embodiment 3

[0035] Example 3 Immune-related verification of tussah ApLITAF gene

[0036] According to the full length of the cloned ApLITAF gene mRNA, design real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR primers:

[0037] ApLITAF-RT-F: 5'-atgcgataatacgttgcgagtg-3' (SEQ ID NO. 6);

[0038] ApLITAF-RT-R: 5'-agggcagatcatagcggaggg-3' (SEQ ID NO.7);

[0039] RNA was extracted from the midgut tissue of healthy and infected silkworms infected with different pathogens, and the corresponding cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription. The relative quantitative experiment of ApLITAF gene expression was carried out with SEQ ID NO.6 and SEQ ID NO.7 as primers, and the tussah silkworm actin gene was selected as an internal reference Gene, the expression level of tussah ApLITAF gene in normal tussah silkworm and tussah silkworm infected with different pathogens image 3 shown. image 3 , A is the quantitative result of respectively infecting Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli E.coli), Gram-positive b...

Abstract

The invention discloses a tussah mid-gut specific gene ApLITAF with a broad-spectrum potential immune function, and the coding sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID NO.5. The gene is related to tussah innate immunity and can be used for researching a tussah immunity related mechanism and improving disease resistance. The invention further discloses a gene promoter ApLITAFp, and the nucleotide sequence of the gene promoter ApLITAFp is shown as SEQ ID NO. 16. The invention further discloses a eukaryotic expression vector containing the ApLITAFp, the expression vector can express a target gene in an insect cell and can specifically express the target gene in mid-gut tissue of an individual insect, and a powerful tool is provided for researching and utilizing the mid-gut specific expression gene of tussah, especially for disease-resistant breeding of tussah.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to the tussah silkworm midgut-specific expression gene ApLITAF and its promoter with immune function, and also relates to the application of the ApLITAF gene and its promoter. Background technique [0002] Chinese tussah silkworm (Antherea pernyi) is an insect of the family Lepidoptera. The output of tussah silkworm cocoons is second only to silkworm (Bombyx mori). It is one of the important resource insects in my country and has a wide the use of. In the larval stage, tussah silkworms mainly feed on the leaves of oak trees in the wild until they cocoon and pupate, so they are easy to be infected with diseases after eating the leaves of oak trees with pathogens in the growth process. The midgut is an important digestive organ of the tussah silkworm and also the first line of defense of the immune system. During the infection process of tussah silkworms through the midgut, the pat...
