Viral polyhedra complexes and methods of use

ActiveUS8554493B2Exquisite molecular complementarityEasy to identifyVirusesAntibody mimetics/scaffoldsCross-linkProtein structure
Cypoviruses and baculoviruses are notoriously difficult to eradicate because the virus particles are embedded in micron-sized protein crystals called polyhedra. The remarkable stability of polyhedra means that like bacterial spores these insect viruses remain infectious for years in soil. Although these unique in vivo protein crystals have been extensively characterized since the early 1900s, their atomic organization remains elusive. Here we describe the 2 crystal structure of both recombinant and infectious silkworm cypovirus polyhedra determined using 5-12 micron crystals purified from insect cells. These are the smallest crystals yet used for de novo X-ray protein structure determination. It was found that polyhedra are made of trimers of the viral polyhedrin protein and contain nucleotides. Although the shape of these building blocks is reminiscent of some capsid trimers, polyhedrin has a new fold and has evolved to assemble in vivo into 3-D cubic crystals rather than icosahedral shells. The polyhedrin trimers are extensively cross-linked in polyhedra by non-covalent interactions and pack with an exquisite molecular complementarity similar to that of antigen-antibody complexes. The resulting ultra-stable and sealed crystals shield the virus particles from environmental damage. The structure suggests that polyhedra can serve as the basis for the development of robust and versatile nanoparticles for biotechnological applications such as in cell culture systems, microarrays and biopesticides.

Method for producing cobra CT and PLA2 in baculovirus-insect expression system

The invention discloses a method for producing cobra snake poison protein (CT) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in a baculovirus-insect expression system. The method comprises the following steps: separating DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences expressing CT and PLA2 mature peptides from the poison gland of a cobra by using a RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction) method, and constructing insect virus expression vectors BM-CT and BM-PLA2; transferring a vector carrying a target gene and an empty vector into Sf9 insect cells to obtain virus particles; infecting the cells by using the virus particles, detecting the expression of the target protein through SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) electrophoresis, and purifying CT and PLA2 from cell lysis supernatant by using a Ni column elution method. The analgesic activities of CT and PLA2 are detected by using the abdominal constriction test of mice. As proved by a detection result, the twisting times of the mouse in a CT treatment group are remarkably less than that of a PLA2 treatment group and a control group, indicating that the obtained CT has analgesic activity and has a better effect than PLA2; the twisting times of the mouse in the PLA2 treatment group are remarkably less than that of the control group, indicating that the obtained PLA2 also has analgesic activity. The related CT and PLA2 proteins can be taken as analgesics for application to the development and application of clinical medical analgesics as well as the research of foundation medicine.

Preparation method of gelatin/CMC insect virus microcapsules

The invention discloses a preparation method of gelatin/CMC insect virus microcapsules. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving CMC in deionized water to obtain a CMC solution; addingan insect virus dry powder into the CMC solution, and performing stirring and mixing uniformly to form a mixture A; and preparing a gelatin solution with a mass percentage of 1%-5% by using a ready-made buffer solution; and (2) adding the gelatin solution into the mixture A, wherein a mass ratio of gelatin to CMC is 1:2-12:1; performing stirring at a temperature of 25-35 DEG C with a revolution speed of 200-1000 r/min until the solution is mixed uniformly; and dropwise adding a glacial acetic acid solution with a mass percentage of 10% into the solution, slowly adjusting a pH value of the solution until spherical microcapsules appear in the solution observed under a microscope, stopping heating, performing cooling, dropwise adding a curing agent solution, carrying out a reaction for 30-60min, performing standing separation, removing a supernatant, and freeze drying a precipitate to obtain the gelatin/CMC virus microcapsules. The gelatin/CMC virus microcapsules can be applied to the Spodoptera litura polyhedrosis virus, is safe and environment-friendly, has strong anti-ultraviolet performance, can effectively protect the virus from being killed by ultraviolet rays, and improves aninsecticidal rate.

ActiveCN108013007ARealize self-propagationPowder output can be adjustedBiocideAnimal repellantsNuclear Polyhedrosis VirusEngineering
The invention provides a self-propagation device and method of nuclear polyhedrosis viruses of beet armyworm. The self-propagation device comprises a reflection lampshade, a powder storage mechanism and an inhabitation platform which is arranged on the bottom of the powder storage mechanism. The powder storage mechanism comprises an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder which is in threaded connection with the inner cylinder, a first cavity is formed in the inner cylinder, a first opening communicated with the first cavity is formed in the lower end of the inner cylinder, a second cavity is formed in the outer cylinder, and a second opening allowing the inner cylinder to stretch into the second cavity is formed in the top of the outer cylinder. A bottom plate is arranged on the bottom of the outer cylinder, and one or more powder outlets are formed in the outer side face at the lower end of the outer cylinder; a sex attractant is arranged in the inner cylinder. Insect virus powder is stored into the powder storage mechanism, and flows out of the powder outlet in the outer cylinder to the inhabitation platform. When lured by light or pheromones to carry out activities on the propagation device, insects can inhabit on the inhabitation platform, and after leaving off, the insects can carry insect viruses on the inhabitation platform and enter an environment, so that propagation ofthe insect viruses is achieved.
