Resumo
O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar o gene vip3A de Bacillus thuringiensis e verificar a toxicidade da proteína Vip3Aa50 a larvas da lagarta-do-cartucho (Spodoptera frugiperda) e da lagarta-da-soja (Anticarsia gemmatalis). O gene vip3A foi amplificado por PCR, com iniciadores específicos, e gerou um fragmento de 2.370 pb. Esse fragmento foi clonado em vetor pGEM-T Easy e, em seguida, sequenciado, subclonado em vetor de expressão pET-28a (+) e inserido em células de Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). A expressão da proteína Vip3Aa50 foi induzida por isopropil-β-D-1-tiogalactopiranosídeo (IPTG), visualizada em SDS-PAGE e detectada por Western blot. Os ensaios de toxicidade revelaram alta atividade da proteína Vip3Aa50 contra as larvas neonatas da lagarta-da-soja e da lagarta-do-cartucho, com CL50 de 20,3 e 79,6 ng cm-2, respectivamente. O gene vip3Aa50 é um novo gene da classe vip3A.
The objective of this work was to characterize the vip3A gene of Bacillus thuringiensis and to evaluate the toxicity of Vip3Aa50 protein to the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis) larvae. The gene vip3A was amplified by specific PCR primers, generating a 2,370-bp fragment. This fragment was cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector, and then it was sequenced, subcloned into the pET-28a (+)'s expression vector, and inserted into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The Vip3Aa50 protein expression was induced by isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), visualized in SDS-PAGE, and detected by Western blot. The toxicity bioassay showed a high activity of Vip3Aa50 protein against both velvetbean and fall armyworm neonate larvae, with LC50 at 20.3 and 79.6 ng cm-2 respectively. The vip3Aa50 gene, is a new gene of vip3A class.
