Isolation, characterization, cloning and bioinformatics analysis of a novel receptor from black cut worm ( Agrotis ipsilon ) of Bacillus thuringiensis vip 3Aa toxins
Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences(2019)
Abstract
Black cutworm (BCW) is an economically important lepidopteran insect. The control of this insect by a Bt toxin and the understanding of the interaction between the Bt toxin and its receptor molecule were the objectives of this research work. A gene coding for a Vip3A receptor molecule was identified, characterized, and cloned, from the brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of the BCW. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned putative Vip3A-receptor gene revealed that the gene was 1.3-kb long and exhibited no homology with any gene in the gene bank. We succeeded in identifying and characterizing most of the Vip3A-receptor gene sequence; and the nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned putative Vip3A-receptor gene (accession no. KX858809) revealed about 92% of the expected sequence was recovered, which exhibited no homology with any gene in the GenBank.
