Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coat protein of Junonia coenia densovirus (JcDNV) is used to deliver attached peptide insect toxin across the gut epithelium of a fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. A fusion protein comprising VP4 attached to an insect toxin via a peptide linker is developed. A composition comprising a JcDNV coat protein attached to an insect toxin via a peptide linker can be used for insect pest control.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant DNA comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a carrier protein attached to an insect toxin via a peptide linker, wherein the carrier protein is a Junonia coenia densovirus (JcDNV) coat protein. 2. The recombinant DNA according to claim 1 , wherein the JcDNV coat protein is VP4 that has an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2. 3. The recombinant DNA according to claim 1 , wherein the insect toxin is Hv1a that has an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 6. 4. An expression cassette for expression of a fusion protein comprising a regulatory region operably linked to the recombinant DNA of claim 1 . 5. A vector comprising the expression cassette of claim 4 . 6. The recombinant DNA of claim 1 , wherein the JcDNV coat protein is VP1 that has an amino acid sequence SEQ IN NO: 1. 7. The recombinant DNA of claim 1 , wherein the peptide linker is a protease-resistant linker. 8. The recombinant DNA of claim 1 , wherein the fusion protein comprises VP4 attached to the N-terminus of insect toxin Hv1Ia through a proline rich linker, and wherein the peptide linker has an amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 4. 9. The recombinant DNA of claim 1 , wherein the insect toxin comprises an arthropod-derived insecticidal peptide. 10. The recombinant DNA of claim 1 , wherein the insect toxin is an Androctonus australis Hector insect toxin (AaHIT) or a Scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus toxin.
