C-type lectins are important immune molecules that participate in host defense response. The present work reports a novel lectin (PcLec3) from the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii. Sequence analysis found PcLec3 encodes polypeptide with252 amino acid residues, which contains an immunoglobulin-like domain (IG) and (CTLD) arranged tandem. Tissue distribution indicated is enriched expressed hemocytes hepatopancreas cells, was up-regulated following bacterial challenge by Vibrio...
Abstract Background The relationships between parasitoids and their insect hosts have attracted attention at two levels. First, the basic biology of host-parasitoid interactions is fundamental interest. Second, are widely used as biological control agents in sustainable agricultural programs. Females gregarious endoparasitoid Pteromalus puparum (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) inject venom along with eggs into hosts. P. does not polydnaviruses during oviposition. For this reason, its pupal host,...
Abstract Background Flowering time is an important agronomic trait of crops and significantly affects plant adaptation seed production. varies greatly among maize ( Zea mays ) inbred lines, but the genetic basis this variation not well understood. Here, we report comprehensive architecture six flowering time-related traits using a recombinant line (RIL) population obtained from cross between two genotypes, B73 Abe2, combined with genome-wide association studies to identify candidate genes...
Serine protease inhibitors play a key role in the immune system of invertebrates by controlling proteolytic cascades. Besides its importance, knowledge on functions serpins most insects is fragmentary. In present study, we identified serpin-12 from Antheraea pernyi encoding predicted 402 amino acid residue protein (Apserpin-12). We expressed recombinant Escherichia coli and purified was used for synthesis rabbit anti-Apserpin-12 polyclonal antibodies functional studies. Quantitative...
Two cDNA sequences of Kazal-type serine protease inhibitors (KSPIs) in Nasonia vitripennis, NvKSPI-1 and NvKSPI-2, were characterized their open reading frames (ORFs) 198 264 bp, respectively. Both NvKSPI-2 contained a typical domain. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results revealed that mRNAs mostly detected specifically the venom apparatus, while they expressed at lower levels ovary much other tissues tested. In both transcripts highly on fourth day post eclosion then declined...
In the present study, complete sequence of mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) Daphnis nerii (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is described. The mitogenome (15,247 bp) D.nerii encodes13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), two ribosomal (rRNAs) and an adenine (A) + thymine (T)-rich region. Its gene complement order similar to that other sequenced lepidopterans. 12 PCGs initiated by ATN codons except for cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) seemingly CGA codon as documented in insect...
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) can regulate protein folding and protect cells from stress. To investigate the role of sHSPs in silk-producing insect Antheraea pernyi response to microorganisms, a sHsp gene termed as Ap-sHSP21.4, was identified. This encoded 21.4 kDa which shares conserved structure sHsps belongs sHSP21.4 family. Ap-sHSP21.4 highly expressed fat body up-regulated midgut A. challenged with Escherichia coli, Beauveria bassiana nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV), determined by...
The Rab-family GTPases mainly regulate intracellular vesicle transport, and play important roles in the innate immune response invertebrates. However, function signal transduction of Rab proteins reactions remain unclear silkworms. In this study, we analyzed a Rab-related protein silkworm Bombyx mori (BmRABRP) by raising antibodies against its bacterially expressed recombinant form. Tissue distribution analysis showed that BmRABRP mRNA were high Malpighian tubule fat body, respectively....
In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Abraxas suspecta (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is isolated and characterized. The DNA 15,547 bp length contains 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 23 putative transfer (tRNA) genes including an extra tRNAAsn (AUU), 13 protein-coding adenine (A) + thymine (T)-rich region. nucleotide composition gene organization are identical to those other lepidopteran, except for the presence copy trnN (AUU). Of 38 twenty-five (9 PCGs 16 tRNAs)...
The vitellogenin receptor (VgR) plays a key role on embryonic development in oviparous animals. Here, we cloned VgR gene, which was identified from the wild silkworm Bombyx mandarina ( BmaVgR ) using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Sequence analysis revealed that is 5,861 bp long with an open reading frame encoded by 1,811 amino acid residues. predicted sequence has 99.7 98.2% identity VgRs Actias selene mori ,...
Intestinal symbiotic microorganisms have a strong capacity to regulate the physiological functions of their host, and Drosophila serves as useful model. Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is member normal intestinal flora animals. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such E. can promote growth development Drosophila, but mechanism regulation poorly understood. In this study, we found that used carbon source produce probiotic acids. bacterium for adult flies passed on parental offspring. promoted...
