Abstract:

【Objective】 Galeruca daurica is a new pest with outbreak status in the Inner Mongolia grasslands in recent years. The objective of this study is to clone the full-length cDNA sequence of GdauOBP20, and clarify the binding property of the recombinant protein to main host plant volatiles, which will lay a necessary foundation for revealing the molecular mechanism of olfaction in G. daurica.【Method】 RACE technique was used to clone the full-length cDNA of GdauOBP20 based on the transcriptome database of G. daurica. The physicochemical properties and structural characteristics of the encoded protein were predicted and analyzed by bioinformatics software. The recombinant protein GdauOBP20 was induced to express by constructing prokaryotic expression system, and purified by using the Ni-NTA Agarose affinity column. Finally, the fluorescence competitive assay was applied, and N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine (1-NPN) was selected as the fluorescence probe to measure the binding profiles of GdauOBP20 recombinant protein with 13 main host plant volatiles.【Result】 The full-length cDNA of GdauOBP20 is 567 bp (GenBank accession number: MK250532), with the non-coding regions of 5′ and 3′ ends of 24 bp and 123 bp, respectively, and a ployA tail structure. The open reading frame (ORF) is 420 bp, encoding 139 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of GdauOBP20 contains 4 conserved cysteine residues, indicating that it belongs to Minus-C OBP subfamily. The three-dimensional structure prediction of GdauOBP20 contains six alpha helix and two pairs of disulfide bonds formed by cysteine. The recombinant expression vector was successfully constructed, and the recombinant protein with high purity was obtained. The binding capacity of the recombinant protein GdauOBP20 to the fluorescence probe 1-NPN was strong with a binding constant of 12.8 μmol·L -1, indicating that it could be used as the fluorescence reporter in this experiment. Affinities of recombinant protein GdauOBP20 with 13 main host plant volatiles were tested. Among them, except diallyl trisulfide, other 12 volatiles showed certain binding capacities with the recombinant protein, and p-xylene and 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene displayed the strongest affinity with the dissociation constants of 22.91 and 26.55 μmol·L -1, respectively, whereas myrcene exhibited the weakest binding affinity with the dissociation constant of 116.29 μmol·L -1.【Conclusion】 GdauOBP20 has a certain binding capacity with main host plant volatiles, suggesting that it may play an important role in the localization of host plants.
