Plutella xylostella Trypsin-9 gene and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural biology, in particular to a plutella xylostella Trypsin-9 gene and application thereof.

Background

Trypsin (Trypsin) belongs to the serine protease family, is produced in animal pancreas in the form of zymogen precursor (Pre-trypsinogen), is a main proteolytic enzyme in the digestive tract of vertebrates, removes signal peptide to become trypsinogen, is activated by enterokinase through the intestinal lumen to generate active Trypsin, and has the function of mainly digesting protein in food; activating other zymogens such as (chymotrypsinogen, fusogenin, elastase).

Insect trypsin is produced by midgut gut wall cells and secreted into the human midgut, is detected primarily in the larval midgut during feeding, is a serine protease that is the major component of the insect alkaline midgut environment and plays an important role in protein digestion and toxicity regulation of Bt toxins. The mechanism of secretion and activation is not well defined, so it is often called Trypsin-Like enzyme (Trypsin-Like protease), but it has the same active site and specific action substrate as the spine pushing substance Trypsin. In general, insect trypsinogen is 256 amino acids in length, active trypsin is 232 amino acids in length, and insect trypsin is a family of serine proteases and therefore has the conserved sequence of serine proteases: a: the active site contains the His, Asp and Ser catalytic triad regions conserved in all serine proteases to activate other zymogens (GDSGGP and TAAHC); b: substrate binding site Asp¹⁸²Also conserved (slightly different in position among different insects) is the position or residue of the substrate cleavage site determined by the charge effect. c: the amino acid sequence of the N terminal of the trypsin is Ile-Val-Gly-Gly. d: insect trypsin has 3 disulfide bonds. With the rapid development of gene cloning technology, the molecular biology research of trypsin enters a new stage.Numerous insects such as (Drosophila melanogaster, Bombyx mori Bombyxmori, Aedes aegypti, tobacco budworm Manduca sexta and lygustineris americana) trypsin were cloned and their sequences extensively studied. However, there are few reports on the gene related to plutella xylostella trypsin.
