A new microbial 伪-amylase inhibitor gene was cloned and characterized. The encoded, recombinant, 伪-amylase inhibitor protein was induced and expressed by isopropyl 尾-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) in Escherichia coli M15 cells. The effects of the 伪-amylase inhibitor protein on Helicoverpa armigera larvae were studied. Compared to the control, the weight of H. armigera larvae fed the diet with recombinant 伪-amylase inhibitor protein added at a concentration of 20 渭g/g was reduced by 49.8%. The total soluble protein of H. armigera larvae fed the diet with the 伪-amylase inhibitor protein added was also reduced by 36.8% compared to the control. The recombinant 伪-amylase inhibitor protein showed inhibition activity against 伪-amylase of H. armigera. These results suggested that this 伪-amylase inhibitor protein may be a promising bioinsecticide candidate for controlling H. armigera.
