Characterization of Protein Phosphatase 5 from Three Lepidopteran Insects: Helicoverpa armigera, Mythimna separata and Plutella xylostella
Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5), a unique member of serine/threonine phosphatases, regulates a variety of biological processes. We obtained full-length PP5 cDNAs from three lepidopteran insects, Helicoverpa armigera, Mythimna separata and Plutella xylostella, encoding predicted proteins of 490 (55.98 kDa), 490 (55.82 kDa) and 491 (56.07 kDa) amino acids, respectively. These sequences shared a high ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Characterization of DNA Methylation in an Invasive Lepidopteran Pest, the Cotton Bollworm Helicoverpa armigera
The genes and genomes of insect pests are shaped by the wide array of selective forces encountered in their environments. While the molecular adaptations that evolve are beginning to be understood at the genomic and transcriptomic level, they have been less well characterized at an epigenetic level. Here, we present a genome-wide map of DNA methylation at single-nucleotide resolution for the co...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Cry1Ac toxin-binding alkaline phosphatase in the midgut from Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) larvae.
Midgut membrane-bound alkaline phosphatases (mALP) tethered to the brush border membrane surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor have been proposed as crucial for Cry1Ac intoxication. In the present work, two full-length cDNAs-encoding alkaline phosphatases in the midgut of Helicoverpa armigera larvae were cloned and named HaALP1 (GenBank accession no. EU729322) and HaALP2 (GenBa...
متن کاملNuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV), A Potential Biopesticide: A Review
The indiscriminate use of pesticides for the last 40 years has almost eliminated natural enemies from many crop eco-systems. This scenario has led many countries to consider the potential of biological control as a component of pest management. At present, the world market for microbial pesticides is in excess of US $ 125 million per annum which is still less than 1 percent of the total global ...
متن کاملCharacterization of lepidopteran-specific cry1 and cry2 gene harbouring native Bacillus thuringiensis isolates toxic against Helicoverpa armigera
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) based biopesticides are feasible alternatives to chemical pesticides. Here, we present the distribution of lepidopteran-specific cry1 and cry2 genes in native B. thuringiensis. Forty four out of 86 colonies were found to harbour crystals by phase contrast microscopy exhibiting a Bt index of 0.51. PCR analysis resulted in the amplification of cry1 in 24 and cry2 in 14...
