Full textCry6Aa1 is a new toxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which displays insecticidal activity against the Western corn rootworm (WCRW). The present work demonstrates that Cry6Aa1 is a pore-forming toxin (PFT) in planar lipid bilayers (PLBs). Contrary to other Bt toxins tested so far, pore formation by Cry6Aa1 does not require protease pretreatment and takes place at doses that are two to three orders of magnitude lower than those required for other Bt toxins under similar conditions. Pore formation by Cry6Aa1 is pH-dependent; the conductances of the pores range between 31 and 689 pS under symmetrical 150 mM KCl conditions; they are cationic and display a complex kinetic behaviour. The treatment of the toxin with midgut juice (Cry6Aa1 WCR1) does not change the biophysical properties of the pores. However, the treatment with trypsin (Cry6Aa1 TT) affects their conductance and selectivity at pH 5.5 (the WCRW gut physiological pH). The incorporation in PLBs of native membrane material from WCRW midgut affects the behaviour of the Cry6Aa1 pores. The molecular determinants of the mode of action of this new PFT appear therefore to differ from those reported before for other Bt toxins. The three-dimensional (3-D) atomic structure of Cry6Aa1 has just been elucidated. It shows that the toxin assumes an α-helix-rich configuration, which is quite similar to that of the ClyA PFT produced by E. coli. Based on the data available for ClyA, we have studied how different changes in the N- and C-terminal regions of Cry6Aa1 affect its pore formation ability in PLBs.

Full textMost Bacillus thuringiensis toxins permeabilize the intestinal membrane of susceptible insects by forming pores that abolish transmembrane electrical potentials and ionic gradients. Several toxins have been studied using brush border membrane vesicles purified from the insect midgut. Unfortunately, the intestinal membrane from many insects does not form vesicles that are tight enough to be used in permeabilisation experiments. A new technique using giant liposomes and a membrane permeability probe was developed to evaluate the pore-forming ability of two particularly promising toxins for the biocontrol of a major corn pest, the Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte), Cry6Aa1 and the binary toxin DS10/DS11. Both toxins permeabilized the liposomes efficiently. However, analysis of the permeabilisation rates under different experimental conditions indicates that these toxins differ in their biophysical properties. The binary toxin forms pores which are slightly selective for cations, like most B. thuringiensis toxins. On the other hand, although the results suggest that Cry6Aa1 could form anion-selective pores, they could also indicate that, in contrast with other toxins produced by this bacterium, it could form pores only under high ionic strength conditions. Pore formation by both toxins appears to be sensitive to membrane curvature since it is much more efficient in giant liposomes than in liposomes with identical composition, but smaller in size. This study sets the bases for the development of a technique that would allow the toxins to be studied in giant liposomes enriched with proteins and lipids from the intestinal membrane of target insects.

Full textCry toxins are proteins synthetized as crystal inclusions by the Bacillus thuringiensis bacterium upon sporulation. They are used widely as biological control agents, as they exhibit toxicity to a range of invertebrates, including nematodes. The Cry5B toxins are active against a number of parasitic nematode species, such as Ancylostoma ceylanicum a human gastro-intestinal parasite. So far, the mode of action of nematicidal Cry toxins is largely unknown, except for the facts that their specific receptors are glycolipids and that they cause prominent damage to nematode intestinal cells. In this study, we show for the first time that the nematicidal Cry5Ba toxin, a member of the three domain family of toxins produced by the Bacillus thuringiensis forms pores in receptor-free planar lipid bilayers. The pores formed by the toxin were cation selective, both under acid and alkaline pH conditions. Under symmetrical 150 mM KCl conditions, pore activity was characterized by conductances ranging from 17 to 330 pS, at both pH 6.0 and 9.0. The most frequently observed conductance levels differed from each other by approximately 17 to 18 pS consistent with the existence of clusters of different number of elementary, similar, co-operatively gated pores, or with the presence of variable size oligomers with different pore diameters.

Part I: Recently, the minimally-processed food products have been gradually popular in Taiwan. Fresh cut products can be purchased easily from retailers, convenience stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, or instant restaurants. The characteristics of fresh-cut products are natural nutrition, handiness, savoriness and freshness. However, during processing, the minimally-processed fruits and vegetables are easily contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, investigating the amount of microbes especially pathogens in RTE food products becomes necessary. The study sampled a total of 165 minimally-processed fruits or vegetables from 20 companies to investigate their total plate count (TBC), coliform, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella spp., Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus. In this study, the most contaminated issue in RTE products were coliform since 40% of samples are unqualified. Moreover, there were 7 samples including papaya (Company D), guava (Company H), beef tomato (Company L), lettuce (Company M), and cabbage (Company S) which were contaminated by Salmonella spp. In addition, there was one sample, rape (Company T) which was contaminated by L. monocytogenes. Conclusively, the survey of this study shows that the companies need to improve their sanitary quality or the process of RTE and RTC products. Part II The liposomal nanovesicles and silica nanoparticles were used as fluorescent reporters for the detection of Bacillus cereus ces gene in a sandwich-type hybridization assay and their assay performance was compared in order to develop a sensitive assay with a lower detection limit. Oligonucleotide capturer pobes was conjugated to the surface of magnetic beads through an avidin–biotin linkage. The reporter DNA-tagged liposomes encapsulating SRB or silica nanoparticles were used as the label reagent to hybridize to DNA-tagged magnetic beads-ces sequence complex. Through a sandwich-type DNA hybridization procedure, the target DNA was captured and quantified by the fluorescent signals from liposomal nanovesicles or silica nanoparticles. The results of this study show that liposomal nanovesicle was a better detection reagent than silica nanoparticles and the assay with liposomal nanovesicles could have a dynamic range as 3.3-100 nM of target DNA with a detection limit of around 0.9 nM. Hence, this study has developed a probe tagged fluorescent nanovesicle method to detect B. cereus ces gene.

Full textOnce ingested by susceptible insects, Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal toxins must be activated by the insect’s intestinal proteases. Their first domain, a bundle of seven amphipathic -helices, is responsible for their insertion into the luminal membrane of midgut cells, thereby creating poorly selective pores. The toxicity and pore-forming ability of one such toxin, Cry9Ca, its single-site mutants, R164A and R164K, and of the 55-kDa fragment resulting from its proteolytic cleavage at residue 164 were investigated using a combination of homology modeling, bioassays, osmotic swelling experiments with Manduca sexta larval midgut brush border membrane vesicles and electrophysiological measurements on isolated midguts. Neither the single mutations nor the proteolytic cleavage altered Cry9Ca toxicity. In low ionic strength solutions however, pore formation was highly dependent on pH: increasing pH from 6.5 to 10.5 resulted in an irregular step-wise decrease in membrane permeabilization. All four toxin preparations nevertheless depolarized the apical membrane of freshly isolated midguts bathing in a solution containing 122 mM KCl at pH 10.5. The activity of Cry9Ca, R164A and R164K was greatly enhanced when the experiments were conducted in the presence of midgut juice, the lipids extracted from an equivalent volume of midgut juice or a cocktail of water-soluble protease inhibitors. Additionally, the role of the interhelical loops of Domain I in membrane insertion was investigated with Cry9Ca double mutants with mutations that either introduced, neutralized or reversed an electrical charge. All but three mutants retained a toxicity and a pore-forming ability that were comparable to those of their parental toxin. Overall, the results suggest that the midgut microenvironment contributes to minimizing the influence of surface charges carried by Domain I interhelical loop residues on B. thuringiensis toxins pore-forming ability. They also indicate that, depending on the cleavage site and on the experimental conditions used, further proteolysis of the activated Cry9Ca toxin can either stimulate or be detrimental to its activity and that M. sexta midgut juice probably contains protease inhibitors that could play a major role in the activity of B. thuringiensis toxins in the insect midgut.
