Expression and characterization of a recombinant Cry1Ac crystal protein with enhanced green fluorescent protein in acrystalliferous Bacillus thuringiensis.

Abstract:

AIMS:To investigate fusion expression between Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein and a foreign protein, the expression of a fusion protein comprised of Cry1Ac, and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in B. thuringiensis Cry(-)B strain was examined. METHODS AND RESULTS:The N-terminal fusion expression of EGFP in Cry1Ac was attempted under the control of the native cry1Ac promoter. The EGFP gene was cloned into pProMu and named pProMu-EGFP. The transformant, ProMu-EGFP/CB produced parasporal inclusions that were of bipyramidal-shaped crystals in size ranging from 200 to 300 nm. The fusion protein was approximately 150 kDa and identified by the immunoblot analysis using a Cry1Ac antibody and also a GFP antibody. The LC(50) of the ProMu-EGFP/CB was twofold higher when compared with that by the ProAc/CB. However, the crystal protein produced by the ProMu-EGFP/CB was effective on Plutella xylostella larvae. CONCLUSIONS:The ProMu-EGFP/CB produced bipyramidal shaped and insecticidal crystals comprising fusion proteins. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY:Through the N-terminal fusion expression of EGFP and Cry1Ac, expression and crystallization between the B. thuringiensis crystal protein and a foreign protein were validated.
