Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a protein for recognizing gram-negative bacteria of black-winged termites GNBP1 Genes and their applications. Background Art

[0002] Termites are one of the most famous pests in the world. They are social insects with strong reproductive and survival abilities. They mainly harm buildings, agricultural and forestry crops, reservoir dams, cable bridges, transportation facilities, etc. They also often damage non-cellulose materials. Odontotermes formosanus Shiraki is a higher termite and a type of soil termite. It spends most of its time underground. It mainly uses worker ants to harm the bark, shallow wood layer, and roots. It causes large ant trails to form outside the damaged tree trunk, and the growth declines. When it invades the wood, the trunk withers; especially for seedlings, it is very easy to cause death. When feeding damage, it forms mud blankets and mud lines. In severe cases, the mud blanket surrounds the entire trunk to form a mud sheath, which is very characteristic. Black-winged soil termites are the main pests of reservoirs and river dams, and can often cause dam leakage, landslides and breaches (Li Dong et al., 2001; Cai Banghua et al., 1965; Xu Zhenhai, 2004; Xu Zhide et al., 2007). Because the nests of black-winged soil termites are very hidden, the damage they cause is not easy to be discovered. When they are discovered, the damage is already very huge. In addition, black-winged termites have a diverse diet and a wide range of damage, and can harm more than 100 species of plants including camphor, fir, magnolia, and maple (Huang Qiuying et al.; 2005).

[0003] At present, the control of black-winged termites still mainly relies on traditional chemical pesticides, but problems such as pesticide residues are becoming increasingly serious, posing a potential threat to human and animal health and the ecological environment. Therefore, it is imperative to discover new biological control methods and explore new strategies for the control of black-winged termites. RNA interference (RNAi) refers to the phenomenon in which double-stranded RNA (ds RNA) induces homologous mRNA degradation in eukaryotic organisms, silencing target gene expression. In the study of insect gene function, gene interference is generally carried out by introducing exogenous dsRNA or small interfering RNA (si RNA). RNAi can achieve sustainable control of pest populations by selectively interfering with the expression of key insect genes, and is highly anticipated in the field of pest control. Gram-negative binding proteins GNBPs, also known as β-1, 3-glucan recognition proteins (βGRPs), are members of the same family. They were first discovered and named in silkworms. They are mainly responsible for fungal recognition (Beaulaton et al., 1979) and play an important role in subsequent immune signal transduction and initiating antimicrobial peptide gene expression. Silencing this gene can reduce the ability of termites to resist infection by pathogenic microorganisms and eventually lead to their death. Therefore, it is expected that dsRNA can be designed for the GNBP gene through RNA interference technology for the control of black-winged termites. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for GNBP1 The application of dsRNA of genes in termite control. Among them, black-winged termites GNBP1 The gene was first discovered by the applicant. Based on the gene, dsRNA is designed and introduced into termites, which can effectively prevent and control black-winged termites.

[0005] Specifically, the present invention proposes a black-winged termite Gram-negative bacteria recognition protein GNBP1 Gene, the GNBP1 The nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The corresponding amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0006] The present invention further proposes GNBP1 The application of genes in termite control.

[0007] At the same time, the present invention proposes a method for preventing and controlling termites. GNBP1 The dsRNA is transcribed from the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1.

[0008] The present invention also provides the encoding right above GNBP1 dsRNA DNA.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention provides a recombinant expression vector comprising the above-mentioned DNA encoding dsRNA.

[0010] The present invention also provides a host bacterium for transforming the recombinant expression vector.

[0011] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling termites, comprising the following steps: GNBP1 The dsRNA is fed to termites, and the dsRNA is transcribed from the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0012] As another method of controlling termites, you can use GNBP1 The dsRNA and Serratia marcescens SM1 are fed to termites together, wherein the dsRNA is transcribed from the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0013] Beneficial effect: The present invention is based on immune recognition protein GNBP1 The dsRNA was designed by gene, and the feeding method was established to kill black-winged termites GNBP1 RNA interference system, and concluded that feeding had a significant gene silencing effect in black-winged termites. GNBP1 The application of RNAi technology provides a theoretical basis. At the same time, by using the HT115 strain to construct a dsRNA expression system, the interference cost is reduced. The present invention successfully interferes with the immune recognition protein using this system. GNBP1 Gene expression and found GNBP1 The gene-silenced black-winged termites were significantly more sensitive to the SM1 strain of Serratia marcescens. GNBP1 When dsRNA and SM1 were used together, the mortality rate of termites was significantly increased, indicating that it can improve the control effect of biocontrol bacteria; it was also found that when used alone GNBP1 dsRNA can also control black-winged termites, and its effect is comparable to that of SM1 alone. GNBP1 It provides a theoretical basis for the application of dsRNA in termite control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] Containing L4440-ds GNBP1 and L4440-ds GFP The recombinant plasmid was expressed by induced dsRNA in HT115 strain, and the total RNA after induced expression was digested with DNaseⅠ and RNase A. The electrophoresis results showed that the bacterial DNA and RNA were degraded, and the target bands were 596 bp and 500 bp, which were consistent with ds GNBP1 With ds GFP The expected size is consistent, and the interference vector is successfully constructed ( Figure 5 ).

[0075] L4440-ds GNBP1 For example, the sequenced L4440-ds GNBP1 The recombinant plasmid was transformed into HT115 (DE3) competent bacteria and spread on a plate containing ampicillin (50 μg∙mL -1) and tetracycline (12.5 μg∙mL -1 ) double antibody on LB solid medium, invert and culture overnight at 37 °C.

[0076] Example 4 After RNAi GNBP1 Detection of expression level.

[0077] First, GNBP1 The dsRNA was mixed with Nile Blue, and then 800 ul was dripped onto the filter paper at the bottom of a 7 cm culture dish. GNBP1 The control group was ds GFP and 20% Nile Blue aqueous solution. 20 termites were added to each culture dish, and each group was repeated 3 times. The samples were placed in a dark environment at 25 ℃ for observation and collection. The samples were collected at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours, and the termites whose intestines turned blue were collected and stored at -80 ℃.

[0078] A fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) experiment was performed on the gene to test the changes in gene expression under different time and concentration treatments. The fluorescence quantitative primers are as follows (RPS18 and GAPDH are internal reference genes):

[0079] q- GNBP1 F:ACTCATTCAGCTTCCGCTATG

[0081] q- RPS18 F:ATGGCAAACCCCCGTCAGTA

[0082] q- RPS18R:CATACCACGATGCGCACGAA

[0085] The fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction system is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] Reaction procedure:

[0089] {95℃ 5 s, 60℃ 34 s} 30 cycles

[0090] {95℃ 15 s, 60℃ 1 min, 95℃ 15 s}

[0091] The experiment was designed with 3 biological replicates and 4 technical replicates for each biological replicate. After obtaining the Ct values ​​of the target gene and the reference gene, 2 -ΔΔt Methods The relative expression of target gene mRNA was calculated and the obtained data were analyzed for significant differences using InStat software.

[0092] To detect GNBP1 The expression of the target gene was changed at different sampling intervals after dsRNA feeding. The cDNA samples of the control group and the treatment group were tested by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The results showed that the interference efficiency was 42.46%, 82.13%, 50.28% and 47.98% at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after dsRNA injection, respectively. The sampling interference efficiency was the highest at 6 h, and the relative expression of the target gene was significantly lower than that of the other two groups ( Figure 6 ).

[0093] Because at 6 hours, black-winged termites GNBP1 The interference efficiency is the highest, so we chose 6 hours for RNAi treatment.

[0094] Example 5 Changes in the sensitivity of Coptotermes to Serratia marcescens SM1 after RNAi.

[0095] First, dsRNA was mixed with Nile Blue, and then 800 μL was dripped onto the filter paper at the bottom of a 7 cm culture dish. GNBP1The control group was ds GFP and 20% Nile Blue aqueous solution. GNBP1 The bioassay was started when the expression level was downregulated to the highest level. 20 termites were added to each culture dish, and each group was repeated 3 times. GFP Processing, ds GFP After interference, use SM1 to process, ds GNBP1 Processing and ds GNBP1 After interference, the samples were treated with SM1 and subjected to biological test. The samples were placed in a dark environment at 25°C for observation and data recording.

[0096] Feeding ds to black-winged termites GNBP1 After 6 h, we conducted the SM1 infection experiment. We found that the survival rate of black-winged termites after RNAi was significantly reduced compared with those without RNAi. We selected 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, and 36 h for data analysis and found that at 11 h, the survival rate of ds treated with SM1 was significantly reduced. GNBP1 The mortality rate of the SM1 treatment group was significantly higher than that of the other treatment groups, reaching 60.0%, and there was no significant difference between the other groups; at 16 h, the mortality rate of the SM1 treatment group was 60.0%, and the mortality rate of the SM1 treatment group was 60.0%. GNBP1 The mortality rate of the group was the highest and significantly different from that of the other treatment groups, reaching 88.3%. GNBP1 Treatment group and SM1 treatment GFP The mortality rates of the SM1-treated and SM2-treated groups were 36.6% and 31.6%, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups. GNBP1 The mortality rate of the group was the highest and significantly different from that of the other treatment groups, reaching 98.3%. GNBP1 The mortality rate of the treatment group was 61.6%, which was lower than that of the control group (fermentation liquid group and GFP group), but compared with SM1 treatment GFP There was no significant difference between the two groups, indicating that ds GNBP1 There was also an obvious lethal effect; at 26 h, ds GNBP1 The mortality rate of the group has reached 100%, ds GNBP1 The mortality rate of the treated group was 73%. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups. The mortality rate of the SM1 treated group was 51.6%. GFP The mortality rate of the group was 53.3%. The results showed that ds GNBP1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group GFP There were no significant differences among the three groups, but they were all significantly different from the control group (fermentation liquid group and GFP group), indicating that ds GNBP1 There was also a significant lethal effect, and the effect was comparable to that of SM1; at 31 h and 36 h, dsGNBP1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group GFP Group, SM1 treated ds GNBP1 The mortality rates of the two groups were all greater than 80.0%, and were significantly lower than those of the control groups (fermentation liquid group and GFP We found that ds GNBP1 The best effect was achieved when used together with SM1, with a mortality rate of 98% at 21 hours; ds GNBP1 The effect of using ds alone was not significantly different from that of using SM1 alone, and the mortality rate was close to 100% at around 36 h, indicating that ds GNBP1 It can also act as an insecticide when used alone as a medicine.

[0097] It can also be clearly seen from the survival curve that the ds GNBP1 The survival rate of the group was significantly lower than that of the control group (fermentation liquid group and GFP Group), all termites were dead at 21 h; ds GNBP1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group, SM1 treatment group GFP The survival rate of the control group (fermentation liquid group and GFP group) was also significantly lower than that of the control group (fermentation liquid group and GFP group). At 30 h, the survival rate had dropped to about 20.0% ( Figure 7 ).

[0098] In summary, this patent is the first to use the technology of bacterial amplification of dsRNA to synthesize black-winged termites. GNBP1 dsRNA, established a feeding method for the black-winged termite GNBP1 RNA interference system, and concluded that feeding had a significant gene silencing effect in black-winged termites. GNBP1 The application of RNAi technology provides technical support. This system successfully interferes with immune recognition proteins GNBP1 Gene expression and found GNBP1 The gene-silenced black-winged termites were significantly more sensitive to the SM1 strain of Serratia marcescens. GNBP1 When dsRNA and SM1 were used together, the mortality rate of termites was significantly increased, indicating that it can improve the control effect of biocontrol bacteria; it was also found that when used alone GNBP1 dsRNA can also control black-winged termites, and its effect is comparable to that of SM1 alone. GNBP1 The application of dsRNA in termite control provides a theoretical basis. The present invention lays a theoretical foundation for the development of immunosuppressants that are safe for humans and animals, and provides a new theory for biological control of pests, ultimately providing new strategies and new ways of pest control for my country's green agricultural production and sustainable development.
