Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this study is to research the binding function and mode of different odors with general odorant binding protein AcerASP2 of Chinese honeybees (Apis cerana cerana). 【Method】 With the optimization of induction conditions, the purified recombinant AcerASP2 protein was obtained, then the competitive fluorescence assay was used to determine the binding function of AcerASP2 with odors having different structures, finally the homology modeling and molecular docking were applied to elucidate the binding mode and mechanism. 【Result】After the soluble recombinant AcerASP2 protein purified, in the competitive fluorescence assay between AcerASP2 and 1-NPN, the dissociation constants K1-NPN and the number of binding sites n were 7.38 μmol•L-1 and 1.0321, respectively. In selective 7 kinds of odors, the affinity of 4-allylveratrole seemed to be the strongest, and the IC50 and dissociation constant KD were 7.09 and 3.46 μmol•L-1, respectively. The molecular docking results showed that AcerASP2 had one elongated pocket-like hydrophobic cavity, 4-allylveratrole just existed in the cavity, and two hydrogen bonds were found with Lys74 of AcerASP2. 【Conclusion】Because of the particular spatial structure of binding cavity, AcerASP2 could bind diverse odors with different structures, and the binding interaction could be easily to be promoted by the hydrogen bonds between odors with lysines in AcerASP2.
