The cloning,sequence analysis and expression of MtroOBP1 gene in Micromelalopha troglodyta(Graeser)
【目的】气味结合蛋白(odorant binding proteins,OBPs)是一种嗅觉相关的蛋白,该蛋白参与大多数气味分子的识别过程,并与气味分子相结合。获得杨小舟蛾[Micromelalopha troglodyta (Graeser)]OBPs以明确其特性。【方法】选择羽化后健康的杨小舟蛾触角为模板,通过反转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)技术克隆杨小舟蛾MtroOBP1基因,利用生物信息学分析软件研究其基因序列和蛋白结构,运用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)技术研究MtroOBP1的组织表达模式。【结果】利用RT-PCR技术从杨小舟蛾触角总RNA中扩增得到MtroOBP1基因(GenBank登录号:MN056510),序列分析表明,MtroOBP1开放阅读框为777 bp,一共编码了258个氨基酸残基,且翻译的氨基酸序列仅含有4个保守的半胱氨酸位点,表明得到的OBP基因的编码蛋白不属于典型气味结合蛋白家族,而是属于Minus-C家族。蛋白质理化性质预测显示:MtroOBP1蛋白的分子量为29 664.57 u,等电点为6.23,有18个潜在的磷酸化位点,没有明显的跨膜区,疏水指数为-2.011~3.078,有一个由19个氨基酸组成的信号肽,说明为分泌型蛋白。组织表达模式表明MtroOBP1在杨小舟蛾的各部位都表达,但在触角中表达量最高。【结论】首次克隆得到杨小舟蛾MtroOBP1基因,在触角中高表达,推测其蛋白具有运输气味分子的功能,在杨小舟蛾的嗅觉识别中起着至关重要的作用。
【Objective】Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are olfactory-related proteins that are involved in the recognition process of most odor molecules and combine with odor molecules. However, the research on the OBPs has not been reported at home and abroad in Micromelalopha troglodyta (Graeser) . Therefore, this study would like to obtain the OBP and clarify its characteristics in M. troglodyta. 【Method】The MtroOBP1 gene was obtained from the cDNA template of antenna using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the gene sequence and protein structure were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis software, and the tissue expression pattern of MtroOBP1 was studied by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) in M. troglodyta.【Result】MtroOBP1 was amplified by RT-PCR using total RNA from the antennae of M. troglodyta (GenBank accession no. MN056510). The gene harbors a 777-bp-long open reading frame and a protein-coding region with 258 amino acids. Its translated amino acid sequence contained only four conserverd cysteines, suggesting that it belonged to the Minus-C OBP . Prediction of physicochemical properties of the protein showed that the molecular weight of MtroOBP1 protein is 29 664.57 u and isoelectric point (PI) is 6.23. The protein contains 18 potential phosphorylation sites but no transmembrane region, and it is a secretory protein with an hydrophobic index of -2.011 to 3.078.There was a signal peptide consisting of 19 amino acids, indicating that it is a secreted protein. The tissue expression pattern showed that MtroOBP1 was expressed in all tissues of the M. troglodyta. but the highest expression was in the antennae.【Conclusion】In a word, the MtroOBP1 gene firstly cloned is highly expressed in the antennae. Presumably this protein has the function of transporting odor molecules, and plays an important role in olfactory recognition in M. troglodyta.

Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to deliver odors to olfactory receptors, and thus may be the first biochemical step in odor reception capable of some level of odor discrimination. OBPs have been identified from numerous species of several insect orders, including Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera; all are holometabolous insects belonging to the monophyletic division of insects known as the Endopterygota. Recently, an antennal protein with OBP-like properties was identified from Lygus lineolaris, a hemipteran insect representing the Hemipteroid Assemblage, a sister division to the Endopterygota. The full length sequence of Lygus antennal protein (LAP) is presented in this report. In situ hybridization analysis revealed LAP expression in cell clusters associating with olfactory sensilla; expression was adult-specific, initiating in developing adult tissue during the transitional period that precedes the actual adult molt. Sequence analysis confirmed that LAP is homologous with the OBP-related protein family, and most similar to the OS-E and OS-F proteins of Drosophila, the ABPX proteins of Lepidoptera and the OBPRP proteins of the Coleoptera. Assuming that the OBP-related proteins represent one homologous family, the identification of LAP significantly expands the phylogenetic depth of that family and its underlying role in odor detection to encompass all members of the Endopterygota and Hemipteroid Assemblage, which comprise >90% of all insect species.

The chemical characteristics of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are summarised and compared with those of other types of binding proteins involved in chemical communication. The recent finding of multiple forms of OBPs in the same animal species could suggest an odour discriminating role for these proteins. In this respect, the vertebrates' olfactory system is similar to other chemoreception systems, such as those present in insects for detecting pheromones and general odours, bacterial chemotaxis and taste.

Our understanding of the genetic basis of host specialization in insects is limited to basic information on the number and location of genetic factors underlying changes in conspicuous phenotypes. We know nothing about general patterns of molecular evolution that may accompany host specialization but are not traceable to a single prominent phenotypic change. Here, I describe changes in the entire repertoire of 136 olfactory receptor (Or) and gustatory receptor (Gr) genes of the recently specialized vinegar fly Drosophila sechellia. I find that D. sechellia is losing Or and Gr genes nearly 10 times faster than its generalist sibling Drosophila simulans. Moreover, those D. sechellia receptors that remain intact have fixed amino acid replacement mutations at a higher rate relative to silent mutations than have their D. simulans orthologs. Comparison of these patterns with those observed in a random sample of genes indicates that the changes at Or and Gr loci are likely to reflect positive selection and/or relaxed constraint associated with the altered ecological niche of this fly.

Recent progress in understanding the principles and mechanisms in olfaction is the result of multidisciplinary research efforts that explored chemosensation by using a variety of model organisms. Studies on invertebrates, notably nematodes, insects, and crustaceans, to which diverse experimental approaches can be applied, have greatly helped elucidate various aspects of olfactory signaling. From the converging results of genetic, molecular, and physiological studies, a common set of chemosensory mechanisms emerges. Recognition and discrimination of odorants as well as chemo-electrical transduction and processing of olfactory signals appear to be mediated by fundamentally similar mechanisms in phylogenetically diverse animals. The common challenge of organisms to decipher the world of odors was apparently met by a phylogenetically conserved strategy. Thus, comparative studies should continue to provide important contributions toward an understanding of the sense of smell.

LUSH is a soluble odorant-binding protein of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Mutants not expressing this protein have been reported to lack the avoidance behaviour, exhibited by wild type flies, to high concentrations of ethanol. Very recently, the three-dimensional structure of LUSH complexed with short-chain alcohols has been resolved supporting a role for this protein in binding and detecting small alcohols. Here we report that LUSH does not bind ethanol and that wild type flies are in fact attracted by high concentrations of ethanol. We also report that LUSH binds some phthalates and that flies are repelled by such compounds. Finally, our fluorescence data, interpreted in the light of the three-dimensional structure of LUSH, indicate that the protein undergoes a major conformational change, similar to that reported for the pheromone-binding protein of Bombyx mori, but triggered, in our case, by ligand.

Apis mellifera (Amel) relies on its olfactory system to detect and identify new-sources of floral food. The Odorant-Binding Proteins (OBPs) are the first proteins involved in odorant recognition and interaction, before activation of the olfactory receptors. The Amel genome possess a set of 21 OBPs, much fewer compared to the 60-70 OBPs found in Diptera genomes. We have undertaken a structural proteomics study of Amel OBPs, alone or in complex with odorant or model compounds. We report here the first 3D structure of a member of the C-minus class OBPs, AmelOBP14, characterized by only two disulfide bridges of the three typical of classical OBPs. We show that AmelOBP14 possesses a core of 6 alpha-helices comparable to that of classical OBPs, and an extra exposed C-terminal helix. Its binding site is located within this core and is completely closed. Fluorescent experiments using 1-NPN displacement demonstrate that AmelOBP14 is able to bind several compounds with sub micromolar dissociation constants, among which citralva and eugenol exhibit the highest affinities. We have determined the structures of AmelOBP14 in complex with 1-NPN, eugenol and citralva, explaining their strong binding. Finally, by introducing a double cysteine mutant at positions 44 and 97, we show that a third disulfide bridge was formed in the same position as in classical OBPs without disturbing the fold of AmelOBP14.

Olfaction is of considerable importance to many insects in behaviors critical for survival and reproduction, including location of food sources, selection of mates, recognition of colony con-specifics, and determination of oviposition sites. An ubiquitous, but poorly understood, component of the insect's olfactory system is a group of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) that are present at high concentrations in the aqueous lymph surrounding the dendrites of olfactory receptor neurons. OBPs are believed to shuttle odorants from the environment to the underlying odorant receptors, for which they could potentially serve as odorant presenters. Here we show that the Drosophila genome carries 51 potential OBP genes, a number comparable to that of its odorant-receptor genes. We find that the majority (73%) of these OBP-like genes occur in clusters of as many as nine genes, in contrast to what has been observed for the Drosophila odorant-receptor genes. Two of the presumptive OBP gene clusters each carries an odorant-receptor gene. We also report an intriguing subfamily of 12 putative OBPs that share a unique C-terminal structure with three conserved cysteines and a conserved proline. Members of this subfamily have not previously been described for any insect. We have performed phylogenetic analyses of the OBP-related proteins in Drosophila as well as other insects, and we discuss the duplication and divergence of the genes for this large family. [The sequence data from this study have been submitted to FlyBase. Annotations for these sequences are available as supplementary material at http://www.genome.org.]

The remarkable olfactory power of insect species is thought to be generated by a combinatorial action of two large protein families, G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) and odorant binding proteins (OBPs). In olfactory sensilla, OBPs deliver hydrophobic airborne molecules to ORs, but their expression in nonolfactory tissues suggests that they also may function as general carriers in other developmental and physiological processes. Here we used bioinformatic and experimental approaches to characterize the OBP-like gene family in a highly social insect, the Western honey bee. Comparison with other insects shows that the honey bee has the smallest set of these genes, consisting of only 21 OBPs. This number stands in stark contrast to the more than 70 OBPs in Anopheles gambiae and 51 in Drosophila melanogaster. In the honey bee as in the two dipterans, these genes are organized in clusters. We show that the evolution of their structure involved frequent intron losses. We describe a monophyletic subfamily of OBPs where the diversification of some amino acids appears to have been accelerated by positive selection. Expression profiling under a wide range of conditions shows that in the honey bee only nine OBPs are antenna-specific. The remaining genes are expressed either ubiquitously or are tightly regulated in specialized tissues or during development. These findings support the view that OBPs are not restricted to olfaction and are likely to be involved in broader physiological functions.

Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products. We describe its genome sequence here. This omnivorous beetle has evolved the ability to interact with a diverse chemical environment, as shown by large expansions in odorant and gustatory receptors, as well as P450 and other detoxification enzymes. Development in Tribolium is more representative of other insects than is Drosophila, a fact reflected in gene content and function. For example, Tribolium has retained more ancestral genes involved in cell-cell communication than Drosophila, some being expressed in the growth zone crucial for axial elongation in short-germ development. Systemic RNA interference in T. castaneum functions differently from that in Caenorhabditis elegans, but nevertheless offers similar power for the elucidation of gene function and identification of targets for selective insect control.

Asecodes hispinarum (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is an endoparasitoid and an efficient biological control agent which attacks larvae of Brontispa longissima, a serious insect pest of Palmae plants in China. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are believed to be important for transporting semiochemicals through the aqueous sensillar lymph to the olfactory receptor cells within the insect antennal sensilla. No previous study has reported on OBPs in A. hispinarum. In this study, we conducted the large-scale identification of OBP genes from the antennae of A. hispinarum by using transcriptome sequencing. Approximately 28.4 million total raw reads and about 27.3 million total clean reads were obtained, and then 46,363 unigenes were assembled. Of these unigenes, a total of 21,263 can be annotated in the NCBI non-redundant database. Among the annotated unigenes, 16,623 of them can be assigned to GO (Gene Ontology). Furthermore, we identified 8 putative OBP genes, and a phylogenetic tree analysis was performed to characterize the 8 OBP genes. In addition, the expression of the 8 OBP genes in different A. hispinarum body tissues was analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The results indicated that the 8 OBP genes were expressed accordingly to sexes and tissues, but all highly expressed in antennae. The finding of this study will lay the foundation for unraveling molecular mechanisms of A. hispinarum chemoperception.

Clostera restitura Walker (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) is one of the most destructive defoliators of poplars in China. We constructed an antennal transcriptome using Illumina Hiseq 2500 sequencing and characterized the expression profiles of odorant binding proteins for better understanding of the olfactory receptive system and the role of putative olfactory proteins in C. restitura. A total of 165 transcripts were identified, including 43 transcripts encoding putative odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), 13 chemosensory proteins (CSPs), 78 odorant receptors (ORs), 15 ionotropic receptors (IRs), 13 gustatory receptors (GRs), and 3 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). Furthermore, we systematically analyzed expression patterns of eight OBPs from different tissues of both C. restitura sexes by using reverse transcription PCR and quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR). The expression level of CresGOBP2 in female antennae was approximately two times higher than in males, and two pheromone binding proteins PBPs (CresPBP1 and -PBP3) and three OBPs (CresOBP9, -10, and -16) were more highly enriched in male antennae than in female antennae. CresOBP10 showed a remarkably high expression in legs compared to other studied insects. Our results suggested that these proteins might play a key role in foraging, seeking mates, and host recognition in C. restitura. Our findings provided a foundation for future studies on the molecular mechanisms controlling the olfactory system in C. restitura and potential novel targets for pest control strategies.

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) mediate both perception and release of semiochemicals in insects. These proteins are the ideal targets for understanding the olfactory code of insects as well as for interfering with their communication system in order to control pest species. The two sibling Lepidopteran species Helicoverpa armigera and H. assulta are two major agricultural pests. As part of our aim to characterize the OBP repertoire of these two species, here we focus our attention on a member of this family, OBP10, particularly interesting for its expression pattern. The protein is specifically expressed in the antennae of both sexes, being absent from other sensory organs. However, it is highly abundant in seminal fluid, is transferred to females during mating and is eventually found on the surface of fertilised eggs. Among the several different volatile compounds present in reproductive organs, OBP10 binds 1-dodecene, a compound reported as an insect repellent. These results have been verified in both H. armigera and H. assulta with no apparent differences between the two species. The recombinant OBP10 binds, besides 1-dodecene, some linear alcohols and several aromatic compounds. The structural similarity of OBP10 with OBP1 of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus, a protein reported to bind an oviposition pheromone, and its affinity with 1-dodecene suggest that OBP10 could be a carrier for oviposition deterrents, favouring spreading of the eggs in these species where cannibalism is active among larvae.

Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) play a key role in transporting hydrophobic sex pheromone components emitted by con-specific female across aqueous sensillar lymph to the surface of olfactory receptor neurons. A number of PBPs have been cloned, however, details of their function are still largely unknown. Here three pheromone binding protein genes in the diamondback moth, Plutella xyllotella were cloned. The three PxylPBP genes are not only expressed in chemosensory tissues but also expressed in female reproductive organs and male legs. To better understand the functions of PxylPBPs in the initial steps of pheromone recognition, three PxylPBPs were expressed in Escherichia coli and the ligand-binding specificities of purified recombinant PBPs were investigated. Fluorescence binding assays indicate that three PxylPBPs not only robustly bound all four sex pheromone components but also significantly bound pheromone analogs with at least one double bond, while weakly bound tested plant volatiles. Although pheromone analogs bound PBPs, they could not elicit the moth's electrophysiological response. These experiments provide evidence that PxylPBPs have limited selectivity of pheromone components and analogs and some downstream components such as odor receptors might be involved in selectivity and specificity of pheromone perception in P. xyllotella.
