Safety assessment of genetically modified plants includes protein characterization to confirm the intended trait protein expression. In addition, to conduct safety tests, the large amount of purified protein needed is usually met through the use of a surrogate, microbially produced protein source. Characterization of the eCry3.1Ab and mCry3A proteins as derived from Event MZIR098 maize was challenging because of the difficulty in purifying/isolating these proteins that are of similar molecular weight and have considerable shared sequence and immunogenicity. This also applies to establishing the biochemical equivalence to the microbially produced surrogate proteins, as highly-purified plant protein is required. While use of crude plant extracts facilitated functional equivalence testing with the surrogate proteins, a separate technical challenge had to be met. The eCry3.1Ab and mCry3A proteins display differentiated modes of action toward CRW pests, however, with the same overall target pest spectrum, no differential test organism existed to allow equivalence testing for one insecticidal protein in the presence of the other. To establish that the microbially produced proteins are suitable surrogates for the plant-produced proteins, the challenges in the protein purification and bioactivity testing had to be addressed. This article describes technical solutions to assess and characterize the insecticidal proteins in this new event and thereby confirm equivalence/suitability of the microbially produced protein surrogates.

满足因玉米事件MZIR098中的杀虫蛋白共表达而导致的蛋白质表征和替代等效性研究的技术挑战。

转基因植物的安全性评估包括蛋白质表征,以确认预期的性状蛋白质表达。另外,为了进行安全性测试,通常需要使用微生物产生的替代蛋白质来满足所需的大量纯化蛋白质。源自事件MZIR098玉米的eCry3.1Ab和mCry3A蛋白的表征颇具挑战性,因为难以纯化/分离分子量相似,具有相当共享序列和免疫原性的蛋白质。这也适用于建立与微生物产生的替代蛋白的生化等效性,因为需要高度纯化的植物蛋白。虽然使用粗植物提取物有助于替代蛋白质的功能等效测试,必须应对单独的技术挑战。eCry3.1Ab和mCry3A蛋白对CRW害虫表现出不同的作用方式,但是,在总体目标害虫光谱相同的情况下,不存在鉴别测试生物以对一种杀虫蛋白进行同等测试。为了确定微生物产生的蛋白质是植物产生的蛋白质的合适替代物,必须解决蛋白质纯化和生物活性测试中的挑战。本文介绍了评估和表征这种新事件中杀虫蛋白的技术解决方案,从而确认了微生物产生的蛋白替代物的等效性/适用性。在总体目标有害生物谱图相同的情况下,不存在差异测试生物以对一种杀虫蛋白与另一种杀虫蛋白进行等效测试。为了确定微生物产生的蛋白质是植物产生的蛋白质的合适替代物,必须解决蛋白质纯化和生物活性测试中的挑战。本文介绍了评估和表征这种新事件中杀虫蛋白的技术解决方案,从而确认了微生物产生的蛋白替代物的等效性/适用性。在总体目标有害生物谱图相同的情况下,不存在差异测试生物以对一种杀虫蛋白与另一种杀虫蛋白进行等效测试。为了确定微生物产生的蛋白质是植物产生的蛋白质的合适替代物,必须解决蛋白质纯化和生物活性测试中的挑战。本文介绍了评估和表征这种新事件中杀虫蛋白的技术解决方案,从而确认了微生物产生的蛋白替代物的等效性/适用性。必须解决蛋白质纯化和生物活性测试中的挑战。本文介绍了评估和表征这种新事件中杀虫蛋白的技术解决方案,从而确认了微生物产生的蛋白替代物的等效性/适用性。必须解决蛋白质纯化和生物活性测试中的挑战。本文介绍了评估和表征这种新事件中杀虫蛋白的技术解决方案,从而确认了微生物产生的蛋白替代物的等效性/适用性。
