  • To investigate the co-expression and crystallization of a fusion gene between the Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein and a foreign protein in B. thuringiensis, the expression of the Cry1Ac fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) genes in a B. thuringiensis $Cry^-B$ strain was examined. The cry1Ac gene was cloned in the B. thuringiensis-E. coli shuttle vector, pHT3101, under the control of the native cry1Ac gene promoter, while the GFP gene was inserted into the XhoI site upstream of the proteolytic cleavage site, in the middle region of the crylAc gene (pProAc-GFP). The B. thuringiensis $Cry^-B$ strain carrying pProAc-GFP (ProAc-GFP/CB) did not produce any inclusion bodies. However, the transformed strain expressed fusion protein forms although the expression level was relatively low. Furthermore, an immu­noblot analysis using GFP and Cry1Ac antibodies showed that the fusion protein was not a single spe­cies, but rather multiple forms. In addition, the N-terminal fragment of Cry1Ac and a non-fused GFP were also found in the B. thuringiensis $Cry^-B$ strain after autolysis. The sporulated cells before autolysis and the spore-crystal mixture after autolysis of ProAc-GFP/CB exhibited insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella larvae. Accordingly, the current results suggest that a fusion crystal protein produced by the transfomant, ProAc-GFP/CB, can be functionally expressed but easily degraded in B. thuring­iensis.

  • 본 연구는 구기자 유기재배 시 발생하는 주요 병해충에 대해 친환경적인 방제방법을 개발하기 위해서 수행하였다. 관내 주요 유기재배 농가의 병해충의 발생을 조사한 결과 18종의 병해충이 조사되었는데 그 중 발생의 정도에 따라 병해로 흰가루병과 뒷면곰팡이병 해충으로 복숭아혹진딧물과 꽃노랑총채벌레 및 나방류가 친환경적인 방제연구가 필요하였다. 이에 방제 시험한 결과 초여름 발생하는 흰가루병에는 Bacilus subtilis QST 713 수화제와 Sulfur 수화제가 효과가 좋았고 초가을에 발생하는 흰가루병에는 Sulfur 수화제와 Copper hydroxide 수화제, Paraffinic oil 유제의 효과가 좋았다. 또한 뒷면곰팡이병 방제시험 결과 Paraffinic oil 유제와 Bacilus subtilis GB-0365 액상수화제의 방제효과가 70% 이상으로 좋았다. 해충 친환경 방제시험에서 총채벌레의 방제에 천적인 유럽애꽃노린재(Orius laevigatus)를 방사하여 80%이상 방제가능 하였다. 왕담배나방은 미생물농약인 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai GB413 액상수화제와 Bacillus thuringiensis aizawa 0423 수화제로 70%이상의 방제가로 방제할 수 있었으며, 구기자 뿔나방(Hedma lycia sp.)은 B.T. servar aizawai 수화제가 70% 이상의 방제가로 효과가 우수하였다. 마지막으로 복숭아혹진딧물을 친환경제제로 방제 시험한 결과 Bacillus subtilis(Seoncho)와 Bacillus subtilis(Jinsami)가 80%이상의 방제가로 약효가 우수하였으며 Ginkgo nut extract로도 70%이상 방제할 수 있었다. 이상의 방제시험으로 구기자 유기재배시 우선 문제되는 5종의 병해충에 대해서 방제방법을 제시할 수 있었다.

  • We have constructed a promoter-probe vector pKU20 using pKT230, a derivative of broad-host-range plsmid RSF1010, as a base. The pKU20 contains structural gene for aminoglycoside phos-photransferase (aph), without promoter, and a multiple cloning site upstream the aph. Using this vector, a 412base pairs (bp) PstI fragment showing strong promoter activity both in Escherichia coli LE392 and Pseudomonas putida KCTC1644 has been cloned from Pseudomonas fluorescens chromosomal DNA on the basis of streptomycin resistance. The nucleotide sequence of the 412 bp fragment has been determined and the putative - 35 and -10 region was observed. Insecticidal protein gene of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 inserted on downstream of the promoterlike DNA fragment was efficiently expressed in E. coli and P. putida. The toxin protein was efficiently synthesized in an insoluble form in both strains.

  • A novel cry2Ab gene was cloned and sequenced from the indigenous isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. This gene was designated as cry2Ab25 and its sequence revealed an open reading frame of 1,902 bp encoding a 633 aa protein with calculated molecular mass of 70 kDa and pI value of 8.98. The amino acid sequence of the Cry2Ab25 protein was compared with previously known Cry2Ab toxins, and the phylogenetic relationships among them were determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Cry2Ab25 protein showed 99% homology to the known Cry2Ab proteins, except for Cry2Ab10 and Cry2Ab12 with 97% homology, and a variation in one amino acid residue in comparison with all known Cry2Ab proteins. The cry2Ab25 gene was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed that the Cry2Ab25 protein is about 70 kDa. The toxin expressed in BL21(DE3) exhibited high toxicity against Malacosoma neustria and Rhagoletis cerasi with 73% and 75% mortality after 5 days of treatment, respectively.

  • 국내 느타리버섯 재배지의 버섯파리 사충으로부터 분리하여 버섯파리 유충에 높은 독성을 나타낸 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis Bti-D와 Bti-U 균주를 이용하여 느타리 버섯파리에 대한 생물학적 방제효과를 검정한 결과, 느타리버섯 병재배시는 Bti-D와 Bti-U의 방제가가 각각 74.4%와 64.2%이었으며, 소형상자재배시는 75.8%와 56.8%였다. Bti-D와 Bti-U의 제제화를 위한 대량배양용 염가배지를 개발하기 위하여 배지종류별 세균증식량을 OD를 측정하여 비교한 결과, 2균주 모두 비지배지에서 가장 높았다. 두 균주 중 방제효과가 더 높은 Bti-D 균주를 비지배지에서 대량배양하여 몇 종류의 수화형 미생물 살충제를 만들고 느타리버섯 병재배와 상자재배에서 방제효과를 검정한 결과, 병재배에서 bio-gel로서 옥수수전분을 이용하여 만든 WCS 제제의 방제가가 86.4%로 가장 높았으며, 생균처리의 69.1%보다도 효과적이었다. 또한, 이 WCS 제제를 살포하기 위하여 희석할 때 pH 8로 보정된 물을 사용할 경우에는 방제가가 93.2%로 제고되었다. 상자재배에서는 pH 8로 보정된 물을 사용한 WCS 제제와 화학살충제인 주론수화제의 방제효과와 버섯수량에 미치는 영향을 동시에 비교하였는데, WCS 제제 처리시 방제가는 74.3%로서 주론수화제 처리시 92.2% 보다 낮았다. 그러나 버섯수량 비교에서는 WCS 제제를 처리할 경우 무처리나 주론수화제 처리에 비해 수량이 증가되었다.

  • A new Bacillus thuringiensis strain (Kl), having high toxicities to Plutella xylostella and Spodoptera exigua was isolated from Korean soil sample. It was determined to belong to subsp. kurstaki (H3a3b3c) and produced bipyramidal inclusion. PCR-RFLP analysis showed that this isolate contains three novel cryl-type crystal protein genes in addition to crylAa and crylE genes. (omitted)

  • Bacillus thuringiensis 2385-1, which showed toxicity to lepidopteran but not to dipteran was isolated from Korean soil sample and characterized. The H-serotype of 2385-1 was identical to that of serovar kenyae (H4a4c), and its crystal toxin was bipyramidal-shaped with a molecular weight of 130 kDa. However, the plasmid profile of 2385-1 was different from that of serovar kenyae. (omitted)

  • To verify importance of the intervening sequence between the ribosome binding site (RBS) and the initiation codon for expression of Bacillus thuringiensis $\delta$-endotoxin, the pProMu, containing SphI and NcoIsites between RBS and the initiation codon of the cry1Ac gene, and the deletion derivatives of pProMu were constructed and transformed into the B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki $Cry^{-B}$ strain. The pProMu-ΔSphIhad identical six bases of intervening sequence to pProAc though the arrangement of sequence was different. Other mutants containing pProMu had 1 or 10 or 14 bases between RBS and the initiation codon. Among deletion mutants, only ProMu-ΔSphI/CB only produced 130 kDa typical bipyramidal crystals like those seen for ProAc/CB. However, ProMu/CB, $ProMu-{\Delta}NcoI$, and ProMu-ΔSphI+NcoIdid not produce Cry1Ac crystals. In conclusion, the results suggest that 6-base intervening sequence was important for expression of cry1-type class gene. Furthermore, spacing effect of the intervening sequences may play an important role in expression of individual crystal proteins in B. thuringiensis without doubt.
