基于水稻白叶枯病害调控的砜类新农药创制与分子靶标研究

Plant bacterial diseases, such as rice bacterial leaf blight disease which is caused by Xanthomonasoryzaepv.oryzae(Xoo), are very difficult to prevent and control. In recent years, plant bacteria disease have become a worldwide major concern in agricultural due to their fast epidemic and thereby resulted severe crop damage, reduced yield, and large economic loss. Based on the critical role and huge challenge in preventing and controlling plant bacteria disease, our group have been taken intensive efforts on discovering novel agrochemicals targeting plant bacteria. In this grant proposal, four series of sulfone and thioether compounds are designed, which are derived from different natural active ingredients such as amino oligosaccharides, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and other alkyl carboxylic acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, and heterocyclic carboxylic acids. The target compounds will then be bioassayed against rice bacterial leaf blight, and rice bacteria leaf streak, etc. Highly active compounds are expected to be discovered through systematic structure modification of target compounds. Then we will investigate the action mechanism of highly active molecules as well as their interaction modes with target proteins using chemical biology research methods, during which proteomics of rice bacteria leaf blight will be investigated. Light activated coupling technology will be used to capture the target protein in bacteria of highly active molecules. Then the captured protein will then be analyzed and identified using mass spectrometry. And the protein function will also be verified. The immune activation potential of highly active molecules will also be studied through which new anti-bacteria agent for plants are expected to be discovered. Based on the research results of mechanism, target protein identification as well as the acquired pharmacorphore model, systematic structure optimization of highly active compounds will be carried out to find new compounds with higher potential against plant bacteria disease and finally to commercialize then to industrialization as well as field application.

作物细菌性病害，例如由革兰氏阴性菌黄单孢杆菌引起的水稻白叶枯防控是一个世界性重大难题，具有突发性强、流行速度快，病害一旦发生就很难控制、危害损失重的特点。基于防控的重要性与困难的挑战性，以天然源活性物质氨基寡糖素和肉桂酸、阿魏酸等天然有机酸、芳香酸及杂环羧酸为模板，设计合成四类砜类和硫醚衍生物，筛选抗水稻自叶枯和细条病生物活性。通过杂环小分子或砜或硫醚活性小分子衍生修饰合成技术，获得系列高活性候选药物分子。采用化学生物学方法研究候选药物分子与靶标的作用模式，建立适用于水稻白叶枯菌组学方面的研究体系。利用光交联技术对候选药物所结合的菌体及水稻体内蛋白质靶标进行选择性地捕获，再结合蛋白组学技术等手段鉴定捕获的蛋白质靶标，并进行其功能验证。研究调控免疫的分子机制，创制抗水稻白叶枯细菌病害的免疫激活剂。基于药效团模型和分子靶标的基础上合成高效化合物,实现创新药物的产业化。
