Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gene technology, and specifically relates to a catechol 1,2-dioxygenase gene cat D and its application in the degradation of difenoconazole fungicide. Background Art

[0002] Difenoconazole (DIF) is a triazole systemic fungicide. Due to its high efficiency and broad spectrum, it is widely used to effectively control fungal diseases caused by basidiomycetes and ascomycetes. It has been widely studied and applied in the past 40 years. It is widely used in the control of diseases of various crops, providing long-lasting protection, extending the survival period of crops and increasing yields, such as rice, wheat, corn, vegetables, etc. It can inhibit many common crop pathogenic fungi, such as wheat fusarium head blight, wheat powdery mildew, vegetable blight, rice sheath blight, rust, leaf spot, brown spot, anthracnose, etc. In addition, difenoconazole is also used to control fruit tree diseases and fungal infections of turfgrass.

[0003] Due to the high stability and persistence of fenpropimorph, fenpropimorph in the soil migrates to the environmental medium through rainwater erosion and surface runoff, posing a long-term risk to aquatic ecology and soil ecology. It is difficult to degrade in the soil of various places in a short period of time. It remains in the environment for a long time, not only causing serious pollution to the environment, but also entering the food chain, causing harm to humans and other non-target organisms. At present, various toxicological effects of fenpropimorph on different organisms and adverse effects of the entire life cycle of organisms have been reported. For example, fenpropimorph can induce developmental toxicity, thyroid endocrine disorders, immune system damage, metabolic disorders and reproductive toxicity, DNA damage and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, hepatotoxicity in zebrafish larvae and adults, and severe tissue lesions in spleen tissue. In addition, some studies have also pointed out that fenpropimorph residues can enter the water body through runoff and erosion, which may have toxic effects on aquatic organisms and non-target species, such as inhibiting the growth and development of fish and algae, and having certain toxic effects on bees. Not only that, it will also reduce the diversity of soil bacterial communities and destroy the ecological balance of the soil. This shows that difenoconazole can pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health.

[0004] Degradation enzymes have obvious advantages over degradation bacteria. First, degradation enzymes are usually more tolerant of abnormal environmental conditions than the microorganisms that produce such enzymes. Second, the degradation effect of degradation enzymes is far better than that of microorganisms themselves, especially for low-concentration pesticides. Therefore, degradation enzymes have high degradation efficiency, can effectively utilize low-concentration pesticides, have high environmental suitability, and low environmental risks, which are the forefront and hot spots of international research on residual pesticide treatment technology. However, there are currently no biodegradable enzyme preparations for difenoconazole fungicide residues. Summary of the invention

(4) Wash the bacteria three times with 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), resuspend the bacteria in 1 mL of Lysis buffer (Tian Di Ren He purification column buffer solution containing imidazole) for every 100 mg of wet bacteria, and disrupt the bacteria with an ultrasonic disruptor under ice bath conditions (temperature protection set to 30 °C and power 200 W), with a total disruption time of 30 min (working 5 s, interval 5 s), and disrupt twice in total; (5) Centrifuge the cell lysate at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 30 min and collect the supernatant; 2. Protein purification (1) Equilibrate the packed Ni NTA Beads 6FF gravity column with 5 column volumes of Lysis Buffer to keep the filler in the same buffer system as the target protein. Repeat the equilibration twice. (2) Add the supernatant to the balanced gravity column and retain it for at least 2 minutes to ensure that the sample and the medium are in full contact. Collect the effluent and repeat the loading to increase the binding efficiency. (3) Wash with 10-15 column volumes of Wash Buffer to remove non-specifically adsorbed impurities, collect the wash solution, and adjust the imidazole concentration for washing if necessary; (4) Use 5-10 column volumes of Elution Buffer for elution, collect in sections, collect one tube for each column volume, and detect them separately. This can ensure that all bound target proteins are eluted and obtain high-purity and high-concentration proteins. 3. SDS-PAGE analysis (1) Evenly mix 10 μL protein loading buffer and 40 μL protein, and denature at 100°C for 8 min; (2) Load 20 μL of sample, set the separation gel voltage to 80 V, and the compression gel voltage to 120 V. Stop when the sample band reaches the bottom of the green horizontal strip on the glass plate. (3) Wash the gel with RO water. Add 150 mL of RO water to each gel (enough to cover the gel), heat in a microwave oven for 30 seconds (medium-low heat), shake on a horizontal shaker at 80-95 rpm for 5 minutes, and repeat three times to remove residual SDS. (4) Stain the gel with Coomassie Brilliant Blue protein staining solution. Shake the bottle evenly before use. Add 25 mL of staining solution to each gel and shake on a horizontal shaker at 80-95 rpm for 1 h. The results of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis are as follows Figure 4 ,From the figure, we can see that the molecular weight of the fusion protein is about 34 kDa, which is basically consistent with the theoretical value, and the band is single, indicating that the purification effect is good.

[0016] 4. Degradation experiment of recombinant protein on difenoconazole Using difenoconazole as substrate, the residual rate of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase CatD after degradation of difenoconazole for 7 hours was determined by HPLC to characterize the degradation ability of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase CatD on difenoconazole. 200µL Na2EDTA, 60µL 50mg / L difenoconazole, 60µL crude enzyme (supernatant of step 1) or purified enzyme (3rd eluate of step 2), 1.68mL phosphate buffer (pH7.5), and 60µL NADP were mixed and treated for 7h. A control group without NADP was set up, and CK was the experimental group without enzyme addition. The residual rate of difenoconazole was determined by HPLC. The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the residual rate of fenpropimorph after adding NADP to the crude enzyme reached 30.23%, that is, the degradation rate reached 69.77%; the residual rate of the purified enzyme after adding NADP was 63.78%, that is, the degradation rate reached 36.22%. In addition, after adding NADP, its degradation efficiency was significantly higher than that without adding NADP, which proved that NADP can effectively enhance the degradation efficiency of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase CatD on fenpropimorph.
