Problems solved by technology

In organisms, one enzyme may be inhibited, but other enzymes or other physiological pathways replace the original enzyme activity physiological pathways to produce drug resistance, thereby reducing the insecticidal effect. Therefore, it is necessary to screen out chitin hydrolase inhibitors with multi-target effects agent

Embodiment 1

[0039] Using the enzymes OfHex1, OfChi-h, OfChtI and OfChtII as targets, 1680 microbial secondary metabolites were screened for inhibitors. Specific steps are as follows:

[0040] Positive control: Set up 2 parallel positive controls. Under the condition of 30℃ reaction temperature and 100μL reaction system, glycosyl hydrolase, 10μmol / L substrate and 2μL DMSO were incubated in 20mmol / L pH 6.0 phosphate buffer for 30min, and then 100μL 0.5mol / L L sodium carbonate solution terminates the reaction, and the reaction solution is excited by excitation light with a wavelength of 360nm, and then the absorbance value at a wavelength of 450nm is measured. When the enzyme is OfHex1, the substrate is MU-GlcNAc (4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine), and when the enzyme is OfChi-h, OfChtI and OfChtII, the substrate is MU-(GlcNAc ) 2 (4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-N,N'-diacetylchitobioside).

[0041] Experimental group: set up 3 parallel experimental groups. Under the conditions of...

[0046] Inhibition constant K i Determination:

[0047] When the enzyme is OfHex1, the substrate is MU-GlcNAc (4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine), and when the enzyme is OfChi-h, OfChtI and OfChtII, the substrate is MU-(GlcNAc ) 2 (4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-N,N'-diacetyl chitobioside), three sets of substrate concentration gradients are set up for the reaction, and multiple sets of suitable compound concentration gradients are taken under each set of substrate concentrations Inhibitory activity assays were performed. The reaction system was 100 μL, the buffer environment was 20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, the reaction temperature was 30 ° C, the reaction time was 30 min, and then 100 μL of 0.5 M sodium carbonate solution was added to terminate the reaction, and the released 4-methylumbelliferone passed through The absorbance value was measured at a wavelength of 450nm after excitation with 360nm excitation light. The data is plotted by the Dixon method, and the ...

Embodiment 3

[0049] The specific steps for evaluating the insecticidal activity of shikonin and its derivatives are as follows:

[0050] In the experiment, healthy Spodoptera frugiperda and armyworm larvae on the first day of the third instar were selected as experimental materials, and a control group and an experimental group were set up. The compound Shikonin (dextroshikonin) was dissolved in methanol and mixed in feed at a concentration of 10 mM (1 g feed = 1 mL feed). The larvae of the control group were injected with the feed added with methanol. The larvae were cultured at 26°C, with a relative humidity of 70%-90%, 16 hours of light per day and 8 hours of darkness until the end of the larval stage, during which the number and phenotype of normal larvae, dead larvae, normal pupae and abnormal pupae were tested every day Make statistics.

[0051] The statistical results are plotted as image 3 , image 3 It is the graph of the growth effect of 10mM compound Shikonin on Spodoptera ...

Abstract

The invention discloses the application of a chitin hydrolase inhibitor in regulating the growth activity of insects, and belongs to the field of biotechnology. An application of a chitin hydrolase inhibitor in regulating the growth activity of insects, the chitin hydrolase inhibitor is shikonin and its derivatives or flavonoid derivatives. By evaluating the inhibitory effect, selectivity and insecticidal activity of the chitin hydrolase inhibitor screened on the research on the inhibitory activity of the compound, the results show that the chitin hydrolase inhibitor has an effect on the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family and Glycosyl hydrolases 20 family all have inhibitory effect. The chitin hydrolase inhibitor described in the present invention has wide application prospects in the fields of biology and chemical biology, especially in delaying the development of Spodoptera frugiperda, Asian corn borer and armyworm. .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to the application of a chitin hydrolase inhibitor in regulating the growth activity of insects. Background technique [0002] Chitin is a natural linear linear polysaccharide with N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) as the basic unit and connected by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. As an important structural component, chitin is abundantly present in the cell walls of fungi and diatoms, the shells of mollusks, the egg shells of nematodes, and the exoskeletons of crustaceans and insects, and the dynamic balance of its synthesis and hydrolysis is crucial for these organisms. growth and development are extremely important. Each stage of insect egg-larva-larva-pupa-adult development is accompanied by the degradation and synthesis of chitin. Loss of chitin hydrolase activity in insects leads to severe exoskeletal defects and lethality at all stages of insect development, and the absence...
