Insects have an effective innate immune system to protect themselves against fungal invasion. Metarhizium employs a toxin-based strategy using nonribosomal peptide called destruxin A (DA) counteract the host response. However, mechanism by which DA inhibits insect immunity is still unclear. Here, we identified 48 DA-binding proteins in silkworm hemolymph, with binding affinity (K
The genus Purpureocillium is renowned for its role in biocontrol and biotechnological applications. identification of new species within this crucial broadening our understanding ecological roles potential utility sustainable agriculture. This study aimed to characterize a Purpureocillium, isolated from soil eastern China, evaluate bioactivity against Ostrinia furnacalis (corn moth) Galleria mellonella (greater wax moth). We utilized morphological characterization; molecular phylogenetic...
Insects possess an effective innate immunity that enables them to adapt their intricate living environment and fend off various pathogens (or parasites). This comprises both humoral cellular immunity, which synergistically orchestrate immune responses. Hemocytin, a lectin with distinctive structure, plays crucial role in insect hemolymph immunity. Hemocytin is involved the early response, facilitating processes such as coagulation, nodulation, encapsulation hemolymph. It prevents overflow...
Destruxin A, a non-ribosomal peptide toxin produced by Metarhizium, exhibits potent insecticidal activity targeting various tissues, organs, and cells of insects. Our previous research has revealed that DA possesses the ability to bind multiple proteins. In this study, we aimed identify most sensitive binding proteins investigate physiological processes in which regulated. Through RNAi technology, screened 22 silkworm hemolymph. Among them, juvenile hormone protein (JHBP), transport crucial...
