摘要: 从棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera触角中克隆了一条全长1 690 bp的cDNA序列,该序列阅读框全长1 572 bp,编码523个氨基酸残基,序列中有2个跨膜区,具有昆虫感觉神经元膜蛋白(sensory neuron membrane protein, SNMP)的典型特征。SNMP与已报道的其他昆虫的感觉神经元蛋白的氨基酸序列有很高的同源性。半定量RT-PCR研究结果显示,SNMP在棉铃虫中不仅在触角中表达,也在去掉触角的头、足中表达。但是在触角中的表达量最高,在雌雄触角中的表达量差异不显著。在喙、下颚须和下唇须中也有表达。SNMP在卵、蛹和成虫体内也都有表达,但在卵中表达量相对较低。将SNMP编码区克隆到表达载体pET21b中,成功地进行了原核表达,表达出带有6个组氨酸标签的重组蛋白。

Abstract: The larvae of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), were treated for 2 h in the laboratory under the temperature 5℃ (LT1) and 0℃ (LT2), respectively. The discriminating temperature, survival rate, cold tolerance, super-cooling point, and the rates of water and lipid in the Asian corn borer larvae after low temperature treatment were determined, respectively. The special antifreeze protein in the serum of the 5th instar larvae of O. furnacalis after low temperature treatment was analyzed with SDS-PAGE. The results showed that the discriminating temperatures for the 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae were -13.5℃, -16.5℃ and -18.5℃, respectively. The survival rates of 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae all showed the tendency of LT2>LT1> the control group after low temperature treatment (P<0.05). With the increase of instar, the cold tolerance of the larvae increased gradually, and the rates of water and lipid in the larvae also increased significantly (P<0.05). The super-cooling point of the larvae was not effected significantly by low temperature (P>0.05). The rates of water and lipid in larval body showed the tendency of LT2>LT1>the control group after low temperature treatment. A special antifreeze protein with the molecular weight about 29.0 kD was detected in the 5th instar larvae. It was so concluded that low temperature treatment could increase the cold tolerance in the Asian corn borer larvae. 19 Refs. In Chinese.
