四种P450基因调控小菜蛾对氯虫苯甲酰胺的抗性

为研究CYP6家族P450基因在小菜蛾Plutella xylostella代谢氯虫苯甲酰胺中的作用,利用浸叶法测定不同小菜蛾种群3龄幼虫对氯虫苯甲酰的抗性水平,采用实时荧光定量PCR(quantitative realtime PCR,q RT-PCR)方法分析CYP1v3、CYP1v4、CYP6B6和CYP6f这4种P450基因在小菜蛾不同抗性种群体内的表达差异及杀虫剂的短期诱导效应,并通过RNA干扰技术沉默4种P450基因后分析小菜蛾对氯虫苯甲酰胺的敏感性。结果显示,4种P450基因在中等抗性水平小菜蛾种群体内高表达;氯虫苯甲酰胺处理可诱导4种基因显著上调表达。分别沉默4种P450基因后,处理组小菜蛾的P450酶活力显著下降37.60%～54.82%,且处理组小菜蛾的死亡率显著高于对照组;同时沉默4种基因处理组的小菜蛾P450酶活力显著低于其他各处理组。表明4种P450基因可能同时参于小菜蛾对氯虫苯甲酰胺的代谢。     

甜菜夜蛾细胞色素P450(CYP9A11)与3种杀虫剂的结合机理研究

细胞色素P450(以下简称CYP)与昆虫的抗药性密切相关。本研究运用AutoDock分子对接技术和分子力学泊松-波尔兹曼表面积法(molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area,MM-PBSA)结合自由能计算方法,分析了甜菜夜蛾CYP9A11与3种杀虫剂结合的作用位点、作用力类型和大小。结果表明:CYP9A11与毒死蜱结合形成两个氢键,有8个氨基酸残基参与形成疏水作用力,二者结合自由能为-3659.80 kJ/mol;CYP9A11与灭多威结合形成5个氢键,有3个氨基酸残基形成疏水作用力,结合自由能为-470.92 kJ/mol;CYP9A11中有7个氨基酸残基与氯氰菊酯结合形成疏水作用力,结合自由能为-473.44 kJ/mol。范德华力是CYP9A11与毒死蜱结合的主要驱动力,极性溶剂化能是CYP9A11与氯氰菊酯和灭多威结合的主要驱动力,这些结果为阐明甜菜夜蛾CYP9A11与3种杀虫剂的结合机理提供了参考。     

Isolation and functional characterization in yeast of CYP72A18, a rice cytochrome P450 that catalyzes (ω-1)-hydroxylation of the herbicide pelargonic acid

Cytochrome P450 proteins play important roles in plant herbicide selectivity. Here, we demonstrate metabolism of the herbicide pelargonic acid by CYP72A18, a novel cytochrome P450 isolated from the rice Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare. The CYP72A18 cDNA was cloned from rice and heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae AH22 cells from the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH1) promoter. Microsomes isolated from recombinant yeast cells contained the CYP72A18, which was found to catalyze the (ω-1)-hydroxylation of the herbicide pelargonic acid. We also show that (ω-1)-hydroxypelargonic acid has reduced herbicide activity against rice seedlings. Based on these results, we suggest that CYP72A18 participates in the detoxification of the herbicide pelargonic acid in rice plants.     

Metabolic interactions of agrochemicals in humans

Agrochemicals and other xenobiotics are metabolized by xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) to products that may be more or less toxic than the parent chemical. In this regard, phase-I XMEs such as cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are of primary importance. Interactions at the level of metabolism may take place via either inhibition or induction of XMEs. Such interactions have often been investigated, in vitro, in experimental animals, using subcellular fractions such as liver microsomes, but seldom in humans or at the level of individual XME isoforms. The authors have been investigating the metabolism of a number of agrochemicals by human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP isoforms and have recently embarked on studies of the induction of XMEs in human hepatocytes. The insecticides chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, carbofuran and fipronil, as well as the repellant DEET, are all extensively metabolized by human liver microsomes and, although a number of CYP isoforms may be involved, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 are usually the most important. Permethrin is hydrolyzed by esterase(s) present in both human liver microsomes and cytosol. A number of metabolic interactions have been observed. Chlorpyrifos and other phosphorothioates are potent inhibitors of the CYP-dependent metabolism of both endogenous substrates, such as testosterone and estradiol, and exogenous substrates, such as carbaryl, presumably as a result of the interaction of highly reactive sulfur, released during the oxidative desulfuration reaction, with the heme iron of CYP. The hydrolysis of permethrin in human liver can be inhibited by chlorpyrifos oxon and by carbaryl. Fipronil can inhibit testosterone metabolism by CYP3A4 and is an effective inducer of CYP isoforms in human hepatocytes.     

Co-expression of a NADPH:P450 reductase enhances CYP71A10-dependent phenylurea metabolism in tobacco

A soybean cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, designated CYP71A10, catalyzes the oxidative N-demethylation or ring methyl hydroxylation of a variety of phenylurea herbicides. The ectopic expression of CYP71A10 in tobacco was previously shown to be an effective means of enhancing whole plant tolerance to the compounds linuron and chlortoluron. Because P450 enzymes require ancillary proteins to catalyze the transfer of electrons from NADPH to the functional heme group of the P450, it is possible that the endogenous levels of these companion proteins may be insufficient to support the optimal activation of a highly expressed recombinant P450. In the present report, we have generated transgenic tobacco that simultaneously express CYP71A10 and a soybean P450 reductase. Transformed plants that express both CYP71A10 and the P450 reductase demonstrated 20-23% higher metabolic activity against phenylurea herbicides than control plants expressing CYP71A10 alone. These results suggest that herbicide tolerance strategies based on the expression of P450 genes may require concomitant expression of a cognate electron transport partner to fully exploit the herbicide metabolic capacity of the P450.     

烟粉虱细胞色素P450基因CYP6JM1的克隆及其在噻虫嗪抗性中的作用

烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci是全球性农业害虫之一, 目前采用的防治手段多为化学防治。噻虫嗪作为一种新烟碱类杀虫剂, 现被广泛应用于田间烟粉虱的防治, 但烟粉虱已对其产生了抗性。本文通过RT-qPCR对烟粉虱噻虫嗪抗性与敏感种群的细胞色素P450基因CYP6JM1表达水平进行了比较, 结果显示, 烟粉虱噻虫嗪抗性种群CYP6JM1基因表达水平明显升高。基因克隆和序列分析表明, CYP6JM1基因具备昆虫P450基因的典型特征。RT-qPCR检测结果表明, 该基因在烟粉虱1~2龄时期及腹部高水平表达。RNAi结果表明, 降低烟粉虱体内CYP6JM1基因的表达量能够显著提高其对噻虫嗪的敏感性, 表明CYP6JM1基因可能与烟粉虱对噻虫嗪的抗性有关。     

Cloning and expression of an atrazine inducible cytochrome P450, CYP4G33, from Chironomus tentans (Diptera: Chironomidae)

Previous studies performed in our laboratory have measured the effect of atrazine exposure on cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activity and have found increased activity in midge larvae (Chironomus tentans) as a result of atrazine exposure (1-10 ppm). Here we report the cloning and expression of a specific C. tentans CYP4 gene that is responsive to atrazine induction with an open reading frame of 1678 bp which encodes a putative protein of 559 amino acid residues. Alignments of deduced amino acid sequences with other insect P450 genes and phylogenetic analysis indicated a high degree of similarity to other insect CYP4 genes. Northern blotting analysis employing a fragment of 1200 bp from the CYP4 gene as a probe indicated that the CYP4 gene was expressed in all developmental stages, but was expressed at highest levels in late instar larvae. Additionally, over-expression of CYP4 in C. tentans exposed to atrazine (10 mg/l) confirms the ability of atrazine to induce specific P450 genes and provides insight into potential consequences of atrazine exposure in aquatic organisms.     

小菜蛾CYP6BG1基因体外真核表达及其对氯虫苯甲酰胺的代谢

小菜蛾Plutella xylostella是为害十字花科作物的世界性重要害虫,对氯虫苯甲酰胺产生了严重抗性。已经明确小菜蛾CYP6BG1的过量表达与其对氯虫苯甲酰胺的抗性相关。本文进一步通过昆虫杆状病毒表达系统在Sf9细胞中表达了小菜蛾CYP6BG1和NADPH-细胞色素P450还原酶(CPR)蛋白,并检测Sf9细胞表达CYP6BG1蛋白后对氯虫苯甲酰胺的敏感变化及氯虫苯甲酰胺经CYP6BG1蛋白代谢后对小菜蛾幼虫毒力的变化。结果显示:Sf9细胞中与CPR共表达的CYP6BG1具有7-乙氧基香豆素O-脱乙基酶活性,且细胞对氯虫苯甲酰胺的敏感性显著下降。将表达的蛋白与不同浓度的氯虫苯甲酰胺孵育24 h后,对3龄小菜蛾幼虫致死率显著低于对照组。本研究结果间接表明CYP6BG1能够降解氯虫苯甲酰胺,从而增强小菜蛾对氯虫苯甲酰胺的抗性。     

Biotransformation of atrazine in transgenic tobacco cell culture expressing human P450

Plant cell cultures in which the appropriate P450 cDNA is introduced are expected to metabolise certain pesticides in large quantities. Two species of human P450 (CYP1A1 and CYP1A2) were introduced into tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L) by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic plant cell cultures were selected by combination of kanamycin-resistance, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase activity, PCR and Western blot analysis. For metabolism studies, 14C-labelled atrazine was used as a model substance. The metabolites de-ethylatrazine and de-isopropylatrazine were found in the control culture as well as in the transgenic culture, whereas the non-phytotoxic metabolite de-ethyl-de-isopropylatrazine was found only in the transgenic cell cultures. The results showed that both foreign enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 catalyse N-dealkylation of atrazine. However, CYP1A2 exhibited a higher conversion rate than CYP1A1. In a time-course study the enzyme CYP1A2 catalysed predominantly N-de-ethylation followed by de-isopropylation. The extent of metabolism was considerably higher than in non-transformed cell cultures. The transgenic cell cultures can therefore be suitable tools for the production of large quantities of primary oxidised pesticide metabolites.

Insecticide resistance in Egyptian populations of the cotton whitefly,Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

Three collections of Bemisia tabaci were taken from cotton and vegetable crops at the beginning of the growing season in Egypt. These displayed marked resistance to the carbamates carbosulfan (ca 20- to 50-fold) and aldicarb (ca 40- to 80-fold) and moderate resistance to the pyrethroids cypermethrin (ca 10- to 30-fold) and lambda-cyhalothrin (ca 10- to 25-fold). They displayed no resistance to the organophosphates profenofos and pirimiphos-methyl, or to imidacloprid. Another population, collected at the end of the growing season, differed markedly in its response. In this population, resistance to carbosulfan remained high (ca 40-fold), resistance to profenofos and cypermethrin was increased (ca 20- and 50-fold respectively) and a slight resistance to imidacloprid was detected (ca 6-fold). Resistance to cypermethrin and profenofos was shown to be similar among adults and nymphs. Irrespective of collection date, none of the populations showed resistance to pyriproxyfen. These Egyptian populations were compared with two representative Israeli populations. The differences between their resistance profiles is discussed in terms of their collection date, their geographical proximity and the patterns of insecticide use at their sites of collection.     

黏虫CYP9A113基因的克隆及外源物质对基因表达的诱导效应

黏虫是我国作物上最重要的害虫之一。细胞色素P450能够参与昆虫外源物质代谢。本研究采用RACE技术克隆了一条编码黏虫P450基因的cDNA序列,并通过Real-time PCR技术,检测了4种外源物质对该基因表达的诱导效应。该基因被国际P450命名委员会命名为CYP9A113,GenBank登录号为KY436739。利用2.5%高效氯氟氰菊酯乳油的LD_(50)处理黏虫3 h,LD_(10)、LD_(30)和LD_(50)处理12 h和24 h,可诱导表达CYP9A113基因;20%氯虫苯甲酰胺悬浮剂的LD_(10)处理黏虫12、24和48 h,LD_(30)和LD_(50)处理24 h,CYP9A113基因表达呈诱导效应;0.1和0.5 mg/mL香豆素处理6、12、24和48 h,CYP9A113基因表达均呈诱导效应;0.1和0.5 mg/mL吲哚-3-甲醇处理3、6、12、24和48 h,CYP9A113基因表达均呈诱导效应。     

Two cytochrome P450 genes are involved in imidacloprid resistance in field populations of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, in China

The sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera:Aleyrodidae), is an invasive and damaging pest of field crops worldwide. The neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid has been widely used to control this pest. We assessed the species composition (B vs. Q), imidacloprid resistance, and association between imidacloprid resistance and the expression of five P450 genes for 14–17 B. tabaci populations in 12 provinces in China. Fifteen of 17 populations contained only B. tabaci Q, and two populations contained both B and Q. Seven of 17 populations exhibited moderate to high resistance to imidacloprid, and eight populations exhibited low resistance to imidacloprid, compared with the most susceptible field WHHB population. In a study of 14 of the populations, resistance level was correlated with the expression of the P450 genes CYP6CM1 and CYP4C64 but not with the expression of CYP6CX1, CYP6CX4, or CYP6DZ7. This study indicates that B. tabaci Q has a wider distribution in China than previously reported. Resistance to imidacloprid in field populations of B. tabaci is associated with the increased expression of two cytochrome P450 genes (CYP6CM1 and CYP4C64).     

Synergism of insecticides provides evidence of metabolic mechanisms of resistance in the obliquebanded leafroller Choristoneura rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

The interactions between six insecticides (indoxacarb, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, azinphosmethyl, tebufenozide and chlorfenapyr) and three potential synergists, (piperonyl butoxide (PBO), S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) and diethyl maleate (DEM)) were studied by dietary exposure in a multi-resistant and a susceptible strain of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris). The synergists did not produce appreciable synergism with most of the insecticides in the susceptible strain. Except for tebufenozide, PBO synergized all the insecticides to varying degrees in the resistant strain. A very high level of synergism by PBO was found with indoxacarb, which reduced the resistance level from 705- to 20-fold when PBO was administered alone and to around 10-fold when used in combination with DEF. DEF also synergized indoxacarb, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, azinphosmethyl and tebufenozide in the resistant strain. DEM produced synergism of indoxacarb, chlorpyrifos, azinphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr in the resistant strain. DEM was highly synergistic to cypermethrin, and to some extent to tebufenozide in both the susceptible and resistant strains equally, implying that detoxification by glutathione S-transferases was not a mechanism of resistance for these insecticides. The high level of synergism seen with DEM in the case of cypermethrin may be due to an increase in oxidative stress resulting from the removal of the antioxidant, glutathione. These studies indicate that enhanced detoxification, often mediated by cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases, but with probable esterase and glutathione S-transferase contributions in some cases, is the major mechanism imparting resistance to different insecticides in C. rosaceana.
