Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of organic chemicals and plant protection, and specifically relates to the use of diphenyl ether ester compounds as fungicides, particularly for controlling rice blast disease caused by the rice blast fungus. [Background technology]

[0002] Rice is one of the most important food crops with the largest cultivation area in the world, feeding more than half of the world's population. With the rapid growth of the world's population, the demand and safety of rice production are becoming increasingly important. Rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most important devastating fungal disease that occurs widely in rice areas in China and around the world, and seriously threatens the safety of food production worldwide. Rice blast disease causes 3 billion kilograms of food loss every year in China, and the annual production loss in the world is enough to feed a population of 60 million people. Currently, the prevention and treatment of this disease are mainly based on disease-resistant varieties and chemical prevention and treatment. Due to the complex field pathotype of the rice blast fungus and the rapid change in population composition, disease resistance is lost 3 to 5 years after the spread of disease-resistant varieties. Chemical control is usually expensive, and due to the constant development of pathogen resistance, the control effect of current fungicides is limited, and at the same time, it is prone to environmental pollution.

[0003] Currently, the fungicides used to control rice blast are mainly steroid demethylation inhibitors (DMIs), mitochondrial respiratory inhibitors (QoIs), and melanin biosynthesis inhibitors (melanin biosynthesis inhibitors). However, the above fungicides have been used for a long time, and the rice blast fungus has gradually developed drug resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new, highly efficient, and low-toxicity fungicide targets.

[0004] In the long-term cooperative evolution process between plants and pathogenic microorganisms, a complex and precise arms race of attack, defense, re-attack, and re-defense has been formed between the two. Recent research has revealed that plants have an innate immune system similar to that of animals, which induces two levels of immune responses, PTI (PAMP-triggered immunity) and ETI (Effector-triggered immunity), by pathogen-associated model molecules PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) and effector molecules, respectively. The basal disease resistance (PTI) that plants use to deal with pathogens is produced by recognizing conserved model molecules (PAMPs) of pathogens by receptors on the cell membrane, and is characterized by stability, persistence, and broad spectrum. Effectors are important weapons that pathogenic microorganisms use to attack plants. When rice is infected by the rice blast fungus, it secretes a large amount of effectors to interfere with the anti-disease response in rice cells. Therefore, analyzing effectors and inhibiting the molecular mechanisms of host PTI is not only of great significance in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of pathogenic microorganisms, but also enables the design of new low-toxicity, highly efficient bactericides that target the structural features of effectors specific to pathogenic microorganisms. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 10: Measurement of the inhibitory function of the target protein MoErs1 of the rice blast fungus by diphenyl ether ester compounds The MoErs1 protein secreted by the blast fungus has cysteine ​​protease inhibitory activity, and the blast fungus MoErs1 protein, which is the target of the diphenyl ether ester compound, specifically binds to it. The amino acid sequence of the MoErs1 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and the coding nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:2.

[0052] In this example, to verify that diphenyl ether ester compounds significantly suppress the function of MoErs1 and thereby relieve the inhibition of rice cysteine ​​protease activity by MoErs1, rice cysteine ​​protease activity is measured using biotin-labeled DCG-04.

[0053] Microthermophoresis (MST) experiment method: MoErs1-His protein is expressed and purified in E. coli BL21, and the interaction strength between the compound and MoErs1 is measured by using the Monolith NT.LabelFree (Nano Temper Technologies GMBH) instrument using the microthermophoresis method. First, MoErs1-His protein is labeled with a fluorescent probe and stored in a buffer solution; Compounds FY21001, FY21002 and FY21003 are diluted to different concentration gradients and incubated with the labeled MoErs1-His protein for 10 minutes; The above sample is placed in the NT.LabelFree labeled capillary and the values ​​are measured with 20% LED and 40% MST parameters. The curve is created using the KD fitting function of the Nano Temper analysis software (version 1.5.41) and the dissociation constant (Kd) value is calculated. The smaller the Kd value, the stronger the interaction.

[0054] Cysteine ​​protease activity measurement method: 0.5mg of rice cysteine ​​protease is dissolved in 50mM sodium acetate solution, pH 6.0 is prepared, and 10mM L-cysteine ​​and 2M DCG-04 are added. 0.2mM E-64 (E3132, sigma) is added to the control, and MoErs1 protein is incubated at room temperature for 5 hours. The incubated protein is added to 2 volumes of pre-cooled acetone precipitated protein, centrifuged at 10000g for 1 minute, the supernatant is removed, washed twice with 70% acetone, and dried. The precipitate is dissolved in TBS, protein sample buffer is added, and boiled for 5 minutes. Activity is measured by western hybridization method using streptavidin-coupled HRP, which proves that the strap has cysteine ​​protease activity after western hybridization.

[0055] As a result of the MST experiment, the Kd values ​​of compounds FY21001 and FY21002 and MoErs1 protein were 0.32 μM, which was approximately 1 / 20 of the control Kd value of 6.8 μM, and the Kd value of FY21003 and MoErs1 protein was 0.51 μM, indicating that both the diphenyl ether ester compounds and MoErs1 protein have strong binding ability (Figures 1 and 3A). In addition, further enzyme activity measurements showed that without the addition of diphenyl ether ester compounds FY21001, FY21002 and FY21003, MoErs1 could obviously inhibit the activity of rice cysteine ​​protease, and no bands were detected in the corresponding lanes; on the other hand, after gradually increasing the concentration of diphenyl ether ester compounds, the inhibitory effect of MoErs1 on the activity of rice cysteine ​​protease was significantly reduced, and the detection bands in the corresponding lanes gradually became deeper (B in Figures 2 and 3), indicating that diphenyl ether ester compounds could significantly inhibit the function of MoErs1.
