The Cry1Ac toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis was displayed on the surface of T7 phage. The cry1Ac gene was fused to the C-terminal end of T7-10B capsid protein and displayed on the surface of T7 phage as revealed by Western blot analysis of the purified phage particles. The T7-Cry1Ac phages retained toxicity against Manduca sexta larvae. We demonstrated that the T7-Cry1Ac phage interacts with Cry1Ac receptors present in M. sexta BBMV either in solution or in overlay binding assays.
来自苏云金芽孢杆菌的Cry1Ac毒素展示在T7噬菌体表面。cry1Ac基因与T7 - 10B衣壳蛋白的C末端融合,并通过对纯化的噬菌体颗粒进行蛋白质免疫印迹分析表明其展示在T7噬菌体表面。T7 - Cry1Ac噬菌体对烟草天蛾幼虫保持毒性。我们证明,无论是在溶液中还是在覆盖结合试验中,T7 - Cry1Ac噬菌体都能与烟草天蛾刷状缘膜囊泡(BBMV)中存在的Cry1Ac受体相互作用。
