Protein Expression

We have designed several constructs to test its toxicity in to insects as well as to yeast:
(1) BinA and BinB genes each fused with GST, cloned into the multi-cloning sites of pESC-Leu expression vector under the GAL10 and GAL1 promoter, respectively.


(2) Only BinA gene is fused with GST, cloned into the same multi-cloning site of pESC-Leu expression vector under the Gal 10 promoter.


(3) Only BinB gene is fused with GST, cloned into the same multi-cloning site of pESC-Leu expression vector under the Gal 1 promoter.


These constructs will be transformed into the yeast and induced by galactose. Then we will use western blot to test the expression of toxin by anti-GST antibody. We can estimate the protein level as well as the yeast phenotype: whether they are resistant to the toxin.


Drosophila Larvicidal Essay

Next we will test the biological function of toxin produced in yeast to kill Drosophila larvae. The Drosophila larvicidal activity is tested by diluting yeast cells expressing the toxin in water and adding them to water containing 10 larvae in each well of a 24-well tissue culture plate (diameter of the well is 1.5 cm)(Figure 1). Mortality is recorded after incubation at 30°C for 48 h. LC50 is determined by Probit analysis[6].
