Transgenic crops expressing Cry δ-endotoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis for insect resistance have been commercialized worldwide with increased crop productivity and spectacular socioeconomic gains. To attain the enhanced level of protein expression, the cry genes have to be extensively modified for RNA stability and translation efficiency in the plant systems. However, such modifications in nucleotide sequences make it difficult to express the cry genes in Escherichia coli because of the presence of E. coli rare codons. Induction of gene expression through the T7 promoter/lac operator system results in high levels of transcription but limits the availability of activated tRNA corresponding to rare codons that leads to translation stalling at ribosomes. In the present study, an Iso-Pr ss-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)/rifampicin combination-based approach was adopted to induce transcription of cry genes through T7 promoter/lac operator while simultaneously inhibiting the transcription of host genes through rifampicin. The results show that the IPTG/rifampicin combination leads to high-level expression of four plant codon-optimized cry genes (cry2Aa, cry1F, cry1Ac, and cry1AcF). Northern blot anal. of the cry gene expressing E. coli samples showed that the RNA expression level in the IPTG-induced samples was higher as compared to that in the IPTG/rifampicin-induced samples. Diet overlay insect bioassay of IPTG/rifampicin-induced Cry toxins with Helicoverpa armigera larvae showed bioactivity (measured as LC50) similar to the previous studies. The experiment has proved that recombinant synthetic gene (plant codon-optimized gene) with the combination of Rifampicin which inhibits DNA-dependent bacterial RNA polymerase and reduces the excessive baggage of translational machinery of the bacterial cell triggers the production of synthetic protein. Purification of protein using high pH buffer increases the solubility of the protein. Further, LC50 anal. shows no reduction of protein activity leads to protein stability. Further, purified cry toxin protein can be used for crop protection against pests and a purified form of the synthetic protein can be used for antibody production and perform the immunoassay for the identification of the transgenic plant. The crystallog. structure of synthetic protein could be used for interaction study with another insect to see insecticidal activity. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2R,3R,4S,5R,6S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-(isopropylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 367-93-1Product Details of 367-93-1).
(2R,3R,4S,5R,6S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-(isopropylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 367-93-1) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are weak acids. The most acidic simple alcohols (methanol and ethanol) are about as acidic as water, and most other alcohols are somewhat less acidic. Alcohols may be oxidized to give ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. These functional groups are useful for further reactions. Oxidation of organic compounds generally increases the number of bonds from carbon to oxygen (or another electronegative element, such as a halogen), and it may decrease the number of bonds to hydrogen.Product Details of 367-93-1
