Abstract

Polydnaviruses (PDVs) are a group of double-stranded DNA viruses symbiotic to some endoparasitoid wasps. Cotesia plutellae bracovirus (CpBV) is a PDV symbiotic to an endoparasitoid wasp, C. plutellae, parasitizing young larvae of Plutella xylostella. An early expressed gene, CpBV-ELP1, plays an important role in the parasitism by suppressing host cellular immunity by its cytotoxic activity against hemocytes. This study aimed to test its oral toxicity against insect pest by expressing it in a recombinant tobacco plant. A recombinant CpBV-ELP1 protein was produced using a baculovirus expression system and secreted to cell culture medium. The cell cultured media were used to purify CpBV-ELP1 by a sequential array of purification steps: ammonium sulfate fractionation, size exclusion chromatography, and ion exchange chromatography. Purified rCpBV-ELP1 exhibited a significant cytotoxicity against Spodoptera exigua hemocytes. CpBV-ELP1 was highly toxic to the fifth instar larvae of S. exigua by injection to hemocoel. It also showed a significant oral toxicity to fifth instar larvae of S. exigua by a leaf-dipping assay. CpBV-ELP1 was cloned into pBI121 vector under CaMV 35S promoter with opaline synthase terminator. Resulting recombinant vector (pBI121-ELP1) was used to transform Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. The recombinant bacteria were then used to induce callus of a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum Xanthi) leaves and subsequent generation (T1) plants were selected. T1 generation tobacco plants expressing CpBV-ELP1 gave significant insecticidal activities against S. exigua larvae. These results suggest that CpBV-ELP1 gene can be used to control insect pests by constructing transgenic crops.

폴리드나바이러스(polydnavirus: PDV)는 일부 내부기생봉에 공생하는 이중나선형 DNA 바이러스 분류군이다. Cotesia plutellae bracovirus (CpBV)는 프루텔고치벌(C. plutellae)에 공생하는 일종의 PDV이다. 프루텔고치벌은 어린 배추좀나방(Plutella xylostella) 유충에 기생한다. 기생 초기에 발현하는 CpBV-ELP1 유전자는 혈구세포에 세포독성을 발휘하면서 기주의 세포성 면역을 억제하여 기생에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 본 연구는 이 유전자를 담배 식물에서 발현하여 해충에 대한 경구독성을 분석하는 데 목적을 두었다. 재조합 CpBV-ELP1 단백질이 배큘로바이러스 발현시스템을 통해 합성되어 세포배양액에 분비되었다. 수거된 세포배양액은 일련의 단백질 분리과정(ammonium sulfate 단백질 분획, size exclusion 크로마토그래피, 이온교환 크로마토그래피)을 통해 CpBV-ELP1 단백질을 분리하는 데 이용되었다. 분리된 rCpBV-ELP1 단백질은 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua) 혈구에 대한 뚜렷한 세포독성을 보였다. CpBV-ELP1은 파밤나방 5령충에 대해서 혈강 주입하여 살충력을 나타냈고, 엽침지법을 이용하여 경구독성을 갖고 있는 것을 확인하였다. CpBV-ELP1 유전자를 CaMV 35S 유전자 프로모터와 opaline synthase 유전자 전사종결신호를 갖는 pBI121 벡터에 클로닝하여 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 세균에 형질전환을 유도하였다. 형질전환된 세균은 담배(Nicotiana tabacum Xanthi)잎에 감염하여 캘러스를 유도하게 하였고 이후 차세대(T1)를 확보하였다. T1 세대 담배는 파밤나방에 대한 해충저항성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 CpBV-ELP1 유전자가 형질전환작물을 통해 해충방제에 응용될 수 있다는 것을 제시하고 있다.
