摘要:

【目的】为探究美国白蛾Hyphantria cunea在寄主转换过程中的消化生理机制奠定基础。【方法】通过筛选美国白蛾cDNA文库,克隆美国白蛾丝氨酸蛋白酶基因。荧光定量PCR检测该基因在美国白蛾不同发育阶段的表达特性;半定量RT-PCR和荧光定量PCR分别检测该基因在美国白蛾5龄幼虫体内不同组织中的分布及表达特性;荧光定量PCR检测取食不同寄主植物(美洲黑杨Populus deltoides, 日本晚樱Cerasus serrulata var. lannesiana, 山樱花Cerasus serrulata, 喜树Camptotheca acuminata和法国梧桐Platanus orientalis)叶片后美国白蛾4龄幼虫中该基因的表达量。【结果】克隆获得美国白蛾丝氨酸蛋白酶基因HcSP1(GenBank登录号: MH663425),开放阅读框长882 bp,编码293个氨基酸,预测分子量为30.5 kD,理论等电点预测为9.86。编码蛋白N末端疏水区包含15个氨基酸组成的信号肽;具有丝氨酸蛋白酶的典型特征,即氨基酸序列中具有组氨酸(His)、天门冬氨酸(Asp)以及丝氨酸(Ser)残基组成的酶活性催化中心三元件;具有明显的胰蛋白酶前体的特征,即具有信号肽、激活肽以及胰蛋白酶N末端保守的起始氨基酸序列(IVGG)NCBI BLAST比对结果表明美国白蛾HcSP1与其他鳞翅目昆虫丝氨酸蛋白酶的氨基酸序列一致性在50%~70%之间。荧光定量PCR结果显示,HcSP1在美国白蛾幼虫不同发育阶段的相对表达量呈现动态的变化,并随着幼虫虫龄的增长呈现上升趋势。半定量RT-PCR及荧光定量PCR结果显示,HcSP1在美国白蛾5龄幼虫头部、唾液腺、中肠、脂肪体、表皮、马氏管和血淋巴等组织中均有表达且在幼虫中肠中表达量极高。与取食其他寄主植物叶片相比,美国白蛾取食喜树叶片后HcSP1的相对表达量明显升高,并显著高于取食其他寄主植物。【结论】本研究克隆获得美国白蛾丝氨酸蛋白酶基因HcSP1,检测了其在美国白蛾不同发育阶段、不同组织以及取食不同寄主植物叶片后的表达量,为探究美国白蛾在寄主转换过程中消化生理的机制奠定基础,也为美国白蛾的防治提供新的思路。

Abstract:

Aim To lay a foundation for exploring the mechanism of digestive physiology of Hyphantria cunea (Drury) in host transformation. Methods We first cloned a serine protease gene by screening the H. cunea cDNA library. We then analyzed the expression patterns of this gene in different developmental stages of H.cunea by qPCR. The distribution and expression patterns of this gene in different tissues of the 5th instar larvae of H.cunea were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and qPCR, respectively, and the expression patterns in the 4th instar larvae of H.cunea feeding on leaves of different host species (Populus deltoids, Cerasus serrulata var. lannesiana, Cerasus serrulata, Camptotheca acuminata and Platanus orientalis) were detected by qPCR. Results A serine protease gene HcSP1 (GenBank accession no.: MH663425) was successfully cloned from H. cunea. The open reading frame (ORF) of HcSP1 is 882 bp in length, encoding 293 amino acids, with the predicted molecular weight (MW) of 30.5 kD and the theoretical isoelectric point (pI) of 9.86. The predicted N-terminal hydrophobic region contains signal peptide consisting of 15 amino acid residues. The protein encoded by HcSP1 contains the enzyme activity catalytic center formulated with His, Asp and Ser residues, which is a typical feature of serine proteases. HcSP1 also possesses some typical features of putative trypsin precursors, such as containing a signal peptide, activation peptide and conserved N-terminus (IVGG). The NCBI BLAST alignment revealed that the amino acid sequence identities between HcSP1 of H. cunea and other lepidopteran serine proteases are between 50% and 70%. The qPCR results indicated that the expression of HcSP1 inH. cunea in different developmental stages showed dynamic change, increasing with the larval instar. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that HcSP1 was expressed in various tissues of the 5th instar larva of H. cunea including head, salivary gland, midgut, fat body, cuticle, Malpighian tubules and hemolymph, and qPCR results further revealed that this gene had the highest expression level in the midgut. The expression level of HcSP1 was significantly higher in larvae of H. cunea feeding on C. acuminata leaves than in larvae feeding on other host plants. Conclusion In this study, we obtained a serine protease gene HcSP1 inH. cunea, and detected its developmental and tissue expression patterns, and its expression levels in the 4th instar larvae of H. cunea feeding on leaves of different host species. The results lay a foundation for exploring the mechanism of digestive physiology of H. cunea in host transformation, and also provide new insight for the development of new management tools for H. cunea.
