摘要: Baculoviruses are large DNA viruses which have been widely used as expression vectors and biological insecticides. Homologous recombination and Bac-to-Bac system have been the main methods for manipulating the baculovirus genome. Recently, we generated a synthetic baculovirus AcMNPV-WIV-Syn1 which fully resembled its parental virus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). Here, we report the modification of AcMNPV-WIV-Syn1 into a novel bacmid, AcBac-Syn, which can be used as a backbone for Bac-to-Bac system. To achieve this, a vector contained a LacZ:attTn7 and egfp cassette was constructed, and recombined with a linearized AcMNPV-WIV-Syn1 genome by transformation-associated recombination in yeast to generate bacmid AcBac-Syn. The bacmid was then transfected to insect cells and the rescued virus showed similar biological characteristics to the wild-type virus in terms of the kinetics of budded virus production, the morphology of occlusion bodies, and the oral infectivity in insect larvae. For demonstration, a red fluorescent protein gene Dsred was transposed into the attTn7 site by conventional Bac-to-Bac method, and the transfection and infection assays showed that AcBac-Syn can be readily used for foreign gene insertion and expression. AcBac-Syn has several advantages over the conventional AcMNPV bacmids, such as it contains an egfp reporter gene which facilitates visualization of virus propagation and titration; its DNA copy numbers could be induced to a higher level in E. coli; and the retaining of the native polyhedrin gene in the genome making it an attractive system for studying the functions of gene related to occlusion body assembly and oral infection.
