Insecticidal activity of a recombinant baculovirus containing an antisense c-myc fragment.
Attempts to develop baculovirus-based insecticides by insertion of genes encoding enzyme inhibitors, neuropeptides or toxins have met with some success. However, it is often difficult to ensure correct processing or secretion of the encoded peptides. Here we tested a simpler strategy by insertion of an antisense fragment of a host gene to block translation of a protein essential for larval grow...
متن کاملInsecticidal activity of a bacterial crystal protein expressed by a recombinant baculovirus in insect cells.
Baculoviruses are insect pathogens with a relatively slow speed of action, and this has limited their use as control agents of insect pests. Introduction into baculoviruses of genes which code for proteins interfering specifically with insect metabolism or metamorphosis, such as toxins, hormones, and enzymes, may enhance the pathogenicity of these viruses. The complete insecticidal crystal prot...
متن کاملElectroporation enhances c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide efficacy.
Obtaining high transfection efficiencies and achieving appropriate intracellular concentrations and localization are two of the most important barriers to the implementation of gene targeted therapy. The efficiency of endogenous uptake of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) varies from cell type to cell type and may be a limiting factor of antisense efficacy. The use of electroporation to obtain high ...
متن کاملImproved insecticidal efficacy of a recombinant baculovirus expressing mutated JH esterase from Manduca sexta
Juvenile hormone esterase (JHE), amember of the carboxylesterase family (EC 3.1.1.1), metabolizes JH that is found in juvenile insects. A highly conserved amphipathic alpha helix is found on the surface of known JHEs. This helix is implicated in receptor-mediated binding and endocytosis of JHE by the pericardial cells resulting in the clearance of JHE activity from the hemolymph. In this study,...
متن کاملc-Myc antisense limits rat liver regeneration and indicates role for c-Myc in regulating cytochrome P-450 3A activity.
Expression of c-myc protein is associated with cell proliferation. The present study uses antisense oligomers to inhibit c-myc expression in the regenerating rat liver after 70% partial hepatectomy (PH). Antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (novel DNA analogs) were administered i.p. immediately after surgery to block expression of c-myc within the first 24 h after PH. A 20-mer PMO ...
