Insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (BTH-3), complete CDs, codon-optimized

Bt toxins refers to the toxic proteins produced by insect pathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis. Each Bt toxin display unique conformations of peptide chain thus have a specificity to certain invertebrates. Where Cry7Ca1 is a differentiate of Bt toxins with a molecular mass of 129kDa, recently isolated from Bt strain BHT-13. According to the crystalline analysis, it could be inferred that this toxin displays a similar mode of action, the pre-pore forming model, like its relatives [1][2][3]. Which the lethality of this toxin against locusts have been confirmed at an LC50 (50% lethal concentration) value of 8.98 μg/ml [1].

Once ingested by insects, Cry7Ca1 undergoes a series of digestion by protease in insect gut juice. Which cleaves the protective shell and release the core toxin inside. Furthermore, the core toxin binds to the membrane-bonded protease on epithelial cells. The proteolytic degradation removes the N-terminal alpha chain, unreal the core into smaller oligomers that embed onto the cell membrane and result in cell disruption. [4]

SZ-SHD 2021's Improvement

The part BBa_K3895012 was improved from SZ-SHD 2020's bt toxin Cry7Ca1 (BBa_K3686010) for tobacco wheat instant expression, where Cry7Ca1 is a differentiate of Bt toxins with a molecular mass of 129kDa, recently isolated from Bt strain BHT-13. Cry7Ca1 is connected with GFP (BBa_E0040),and constructed into pCAMBIA1301 vector.

Protocol

1. Transfection of pCAMBIA-Cry7Ca1-eGFP vector through Carbon dots nanocomposite (CDP) to Nicotiana benthamiana

Coupling CDP with plant expressing vector Mix the following ingredients:

Ingredients Volumn
MES buffer(50X) 10ul
CDP(50X) 10ul
DNA(237ng/ul >10ng/ul final con) 22ul
10% glycerol 25ul
ddH2O 433ul
total 500ul

Gently mix and incubate at 37℃ for 30min.

2. Brush the mixture gently on the leaf of Nicotiana benthamiana(leaf length>10cm,Growing well) ,mark the area of brushing

3. Put the plant back in the light incubator(28℃,12h light 12h dark), repeat the process for four days at 3:00pm each day(2/4)


Results

Fluorescence microscope to observe the GFP in leave

Figure 2(a). Positive results showed successful expression of pCAMBIA-Cry7Ca1-eGFP in Nicotiana
Figure 2(b). Negative results without Cry7Ca1-eGFP in Nicotiana benthamiana.
