The invention discloses application of
para aminobenzoic acid synthase and / or
hydroxymethyl dihydropterin
pyrophosphate kinase-dihydropterioic acid synthase in regulation and control of coccidium
drug resistance, and through comparative analysis of whole
transcriptome level, only in DZR strain, the
para aminobenzoic acid synthase and / or
hydroxymethyl dihydropterin
pyrophosphate kinase-dihydropterioic acid synthase can be used for regulating and controlling coccidium
drug resistance. A key rate-limiting
enzyme coding
gene of a
folic acid biosynthetic pathway, namely
para aminobenzoic acid synthase (EtpABAS), is specifically associated with the expression level of
hydroxymethyl dihydropterin
pyrophosphate kinase-dihydropteroic acid synthase (EtHPPK-DHPS), and the
drug resistance of
diclazuril is specifically associated with the expression level of the hydroxymethyl dihydropterin pyrophosphate kinase-dihydropteroic acid synthase (EtHPPK-DHPS). The invention reveals that the
molecular mechanism of E.tenella for generating
drug resistance to
diclazuril is closely related to the
folic acid synthesis pathway for the first time, and defines the core regulation effect of the key metabolic
enzyme EtpABAS in the
folic acid synthesis pathway in the process. Meanwhile, the invention provides a strategy for intervening generation of the
drug resistance of the
coccidiosis by regulating and controlling a folic acid
metabolic pathway, a new theoretical basis and a new practice direction are provided for research, development and precise medication of novel anti-
coccidiosis drugs, and the method has remarkable scientific value and industrial application prospect.
