Jiang D, Yu Z, He Y, Wang F, Gu Y, Davies TGE, Fan Z, Wang X, Wu Y. Key role of the ryanodine receptor I4790K mutation in mediating diamide resistance in Plutella xylostella. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 168:104107. [PMID: 38492676 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2024.104107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella, a global insect pest of cruciferous vegetables, has evolved resistance to many classes of insecticides including diamides. Three point mutations (I4790M, I4790K, and G4946E) in the ryanodine receptor of P. xylostella (PxRyR) have been identified to associate with varying levels of resistance. In this study, we generated a knockin strain (I4790K-KI) of P. xylostella, using CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the I4790K mutation into PxRyR of the susceptible IPP-S strain. Compared to IPP-S, the edited I4790K-KI strain exhibited high levels of resistance to both anthranilic diamides (chlorantraniliprole 1857-fold, cyantraniliprole 1433-fold) and the phthalic acid diamide flubendiamide (>2272-fold). Resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the I4790K-KI strain was inherited in an autosomal and recessive mode, and genetically linked with the I4790K knockin mutation. Computational modeling suggests the I4790K mutation reduces the binding of diamides to PxRyR by disrupting key hydrogen bonding interactions within the binding cavity. The approximate frequencies of the 4790M, 4790K, and 4946E alleles were assessed in ten geographical field populations of P. xylostella collected in China in 2021. The levels of chlorantraniliprole resistance (2.3- to 1444-fold) in these populations were significantly correlated with the frequencies (0.017-0.917) of the 4790K allele, but not with either 4790M (0-0.183) or 4946E (0.017-0.450) alleles. This demonstrates that the PxRyR I4790K mutation is currently the major contributing factor to chlorantraniliprole resistance in P. xylostella field populations within China. Our findings provide in vivo functional evidence for the causality of the I4790K mutation in PxRyR with high levels of diamide resistance in P. xylostella, and suggest that tracking the frequency of the I4790K allele is crucial for optimizing the monitoring and management of diamide resistance in this crop pest.

Abstract
Computer-aided molecular modeling was applied to design a series of Spodoptera frugiperda RyR agonists. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were used to generate 3D-QSAR models. MD simulations in the complex with S. frugiperda native, mutant RyR, and mammalian RyR1 under physiological conditions were used to validate the detailed binding mechanism. Binding free energy calculation by molecular mechanics generalized surface area (MM-GBSA) explained the role of key amino acid residues in ligand-receptor binding. Therefore, 14 new compounds were effectively designed and synthesized, and a bioassay indicated that compounds A-2 and A-3 showed comparable activity to that of chloranthraniliprole with LC50 values of 0.27, 0.18, and 0.20 mg L-1, respectively, against S. frugiperda. Most target compounds also displayed good activity against Mythinma separata at 0.1 mg L-1. Molecular docking and MM-GBSA calculations demonstrated that A-3 had a better binding capacity with native and mutant S. frugiperda RyRs.

Abstract
Diamide insecticides, such as chlorantraniliprole, have been widely used to control insect pests by targeting the insect ryanodine receptor (RyR). Due to the efficacious insecticidal activity of diamides, as well as an increasing number of resistance cases, the molecular structure of RyR has been studied in many economically important insects. However, no research has been conducted on diamide resistance and RyR in the soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens, a significant crop pest. In this study, we found moderate resistance to chlorantraniliprole in a field population from Puerto Rico and sequenced the full-length cDNA of the C. includens RyR gene, which encodes a 5124 amino acid-long protein. Genomic analysis revealed that the CincRyR gene consists of 113 exons, one of the largest exon numbers reported for RyR. Alternative splicing sites were detected in the cytosolic region. The protein sequence showed high similarity to other noctuid RyRs. Conserved structural features included the selectivity filter motif critical for ryanodine binding and ion conduction, as well as various domains involved in ion transport. Two mutation sites associated with diamide resistance in other insects were screened but not found in the Puerto Rico field populations or in the susceptible lab strain. Gene expression analysis indicated high expression of RyR in the third instar larval stage, particularly in muscle-containing tissues. Furthermore, exposure to a sublethal dose of chlorantraniliprole reduced RyR expression levels after 96 h. This study provides a molecular basis for understanding RyR structure and sheds light on potential mechanisms of diamide resistance in C. includens.

Abstract
Since 2007, diamide insecticides have been widely used in Korea to control various types of lepidopteran pests including Spodoptera exigua. For nearly a decade, diamide resistance in field populations of S. exigua across 18 localities has been monitored using bioassays. Despite their short history of use, resistance to diamide insecticides has emerged. Based on the LC50 values, some field populations showed a higher level of resistance to chlorantraniliprole, a diamide insecticide, compared to that of the susceptible strain, although regional and temporal variations were observed. To investigate resistance at a molecular level, we examined three mutations (Y4701C, I4790M, and G4946E) in the ryanodine receptor (RyR), which is the primary mechanism underlying diamide insecticide resistance. DNA sequencing showed that only the I4790M mutation was found in most field populations. As resistance levels varied significantly despite the uniform presence of the I4790M mutation, we considered the presence of another resistance factor. Further, the I4790M mutation was also found in S. exigua specimens collected prior to the commercialization of diamide insecticides in Korea as well as in other countries, such as the USA. This finding led us to hypothesize that the I4790M mutation were predisposed in field populations owing to selection factors other than diamide use. For further clarification, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of S. exigua (449.83 Mb) and re-sequencing of 18 individual whole genomes. However, no additional non-synonymous mutations were detected in the RyR-coding region. Therefore, we concluded that the high level of diamide insecticide resistance in Korean S. exigua is not caused by mutations at the target site, RyR, but is attributed to other factors that need to be investigated in future studies.

Abstract
Diamide insecticides activate ryanodine receptors expressed in lepidopteran skeletal muscle and promote Ca2+ release in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, causing abnormal contractions and paralysis, leading to death of the pest. Although they had been thought not to act on nontarget organisms, including mammals, adverse effects on vertebrates were recently reported, raising concerns about their safety in humans. We investigated the neurotoxicity of the acute no-observed-adverse-effect level of chlorantraniliprole (CAP), a diamide insecticide, in mice using clothianidin (CLO), a neonicotinoid insecticide, as a positive control. The CLO-administered group showed decreased locomotor activities, increased anxiety-like behaviors, and abnormal human-audible vocalizations, while the CAP-administered group showed anxiety-like behaviors but no change in locomotor activities. The CAP-administered group had greater numbers of c-fos-immunoreactive cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and similar to the results in a CLO-administered group in our previous study. Blood corticosterone levels increased in the CLO-administered group but did not change in the CAP-administered group. Additionally, CAP was found to decreased 3-Methoxytyramine and histamine in mice at the time to maximum concentration. These results suggest that CAP-administered mice are less vulnerable to stress than CLO-administered mice, and the first evidence that CAP exposure increases neuronal activity and induces anxiety-like behavior as well as neurotransmitter disturbances in mammals.

Abstract
Flubendiamide (FLB) is an insecticide that is commonly employed to control pests on a variety of vegetables and fruits, with low toxicity for non-target organisms. However, due to its widespread use, the environmental risks and food safety have become major concerns. In this study, the toxicity potential of FLB was studied in the model organisms, Allium cepa and Drosophila melanogaster. The cyto-genotoxic effects of FLB on the root growth, mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in A. cepa root meristematic cells were investigated using the root growth inhibition Allium test and Comet assays. FLB caused CAs in the form of disturbed ana-telophase, chromosome laggards, stickiness, anaphase-bridge and polyploidy depending on the concentration and the exposure time. The toxicity and genotoxicity of FLB at various doses (0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mM) on D. melanogaster were investigated from the point of view of larval weight and movement, pupal formation success, pupal position, emergence success and DNA damage, respectively. FLB exposure led to a significant reduction of the locomotor activity at the highest concentration. While DNA damage increased significantly in the FLB-treated onions depending on the concentration and time, DNA damage in the FLB-treated D. melanogaster significantly increased only at the highest dose compared to that which occurred in the control group. Moreover, to provide a mechanistic insight into the genotoxic and locomotion-disrupting effects of FLB, molecular docking simulations of this pesticide were performed against the DNA and diamondback moth (DBM) ryanodine receptor (RyR) Repeat34 domain. The docking studies revealed that FLB binds strongly to a DNA region that is rich in cytosine-guanine-adenine bases (C-G-A) in the minor groove, and it displayed a remarkable binding affinity against the DBM RyR Repeat34 domain.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is due to an injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, which accounts for a significant economical and health burden to society. Due to poor understanding of their underlying mechanisms, the available treatments merely provide symptomatic relief and precipitates a variety of adverse effects. This suggests that there is an unmet medical need that must be addressed with effective strategies for the development of novel therapeutics. Sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) is an oncogenic lipid kinase that has emerged as a promising target for chronic pain and other diseases. In the present study, we have explored the structure-based virtual high-throughput screening of the Nuclei of Bioassays, Ecophysiology, and Biosynthesis of Natural Products Database (NuBBE) to identify potent natural products as inhibitors of SphK2. A molecular docking study was performed to calculate binding affinities and specificity to identify potential leads against SphK2. Initially, hits were selected by the implementation of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties, Lipinski rule, and PAINS filters. The top-scoring hits also exhibiting an optimal ADMET profile were subjected to MM/GBSA free binding free energy calculation and molecular dynamics simulation. The results from molecular dynamics simulation revealed a stable ligand -SphK2 complex with protein and ligand RMSD within reasonable limits. Overall, we identified compounds, NuBBE_972 and NuBBE_1107 as potential inhibitors of SphK2 with optimal pharmacokinetic properties which have the potential to be developed as novel therapeutics for the management of chronic pain.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Pests are one of the major factors causing crop damage and food security problems worldwide. Based on our previous studies on the discovery of insecticidal leads targeting the ryanodine receptors (RyRs), a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model was established to design and synthesize a series of anthranilic diamides containing a halogenated phenyl 3-trifluoroethoxypyrazole moiety. The preliminary bioassays disclosed that IIb, IIIb, and IIIf against Mythimna separata showed comparable activity to chloranthraniliprole (LC50: 0.16, 0.16, 0.14, and 0.13 mg·L-1, respectively). More than half of the target compounds displayed good activity against Plutella xylostella, where IIIf was the most active compound, 25 times more active than chloranthraniliprole (LC50: 6.0 × 10-6 versus 1.5 × 10-4 mg·L-1). For Spodoptera frugiperda, IIIf displayed slightly inferior potency to chlorantraniliprole (LC50: 0.47 versus 0.31 mg·L-1). For RyR mutants of S. frugiperda (G4891E, I4734M), compound IIIf could show higher affinity than chlorantraniliprole according to the binding mode and energy in molecular docking experiments. Calcium imaging technique, molecular docking, density functional theory calculations, and electrostatic potential studies validated that the RyR was the target of the most active candidate IIIf, which deserves further development.

[PMID: 35575601 DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Ion channels, many expressed in insect neural and muscular systems, have drawn huge attention as primary targets of insecticides. With the recent technical breakthroughs in structural biology, especially in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), many new high-resolution structures of ion channel targets, apo or in complex with insecticides, have been solved, shedding light on the molecular mechanism of action of the insecticides and resistance mutations. These structures also provide accurate templates for structure-based insecticide screening and rational design. This review summarizes the recent progress in the structural studies of 5 ion channel families: the ryanodine receptor (RyR), the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC), the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, and the ligand-gated chloride channel (LGCC). We address the selectivity of the channel-targeting insecticides by examining the conservation of key coordinating residues revealed by the structures. The possible resistance mechanisms are proposed based on the locations of the identified resistance mutations on the 3D structures of the target channels and their impacts on the binding of insecticides. Finally, we discuss how to develop "green" insecticides with a novel mode of action based on these high-resolution structures to overcome the resistance.

Abstract
Insect ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are molecular targets of the anthranilic diamide insecticides. In the present study, a new series of anthranilic diamides containing a cyanophenyl pyrazole moiety were rationally designed by active-fragment assembly and computer-aided design using the 3D structure of Plutella xylostella RyRs as a receptor and chlorantraniliprole as a ligand. Most of the titled compounds showed good toxicity against Mythimna separate, P. xylostella, and Spodoptera frugiperda. Compounds CN06, CN11, and CN16 with corresponding LC50 values of 0.15, 0.29, and 0.52 mg·L-1, respectively, against M. separate showed comparable activity to that of chlorantraniliprole (0.13 mg·L-1). Surprisingly, CN06, CN11, and CN16 with corresponding LC50 values of 1.6 × 10-5, 3.0 × 10-5, and 2.8 × 10-5 mg·L-1, respectively, against P. xylostella were at least 5-fold more active than chlorantraniliprole (1.5 × 10-4 mg·L-1). In the case of S. frugiperda, CN06, CN11, and CN16 had good potency but lower than chlorantraniliprole in terms of LC50 values (0.58, 0.54, and 0.56 mg·L-1 versus 0.31 mg·L-1). Molecular docking of CN06 and chlorantraniliprole to P. xylostella RyRs validated the molecular design, and the calcium imaging technique further proved the potential target of CN06 as RyRs. Compounds CN06, CN11, and CN16 could be more effective than chlorantraniliprole in targeting the resistant RyR mutants of S. frugiperda (G4891E, I4734M) through the binding mode and energy obtained by molecular docking. Density functional theory calculations (DFT) and electrostatic potential (ESP) studies gave the structure-activity relationship. Compounds CN06, CN11, and CN16 could be used as potent insecticide leads for further optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diamide insecticides have attracted significant attention due to their high efficacy and low toxicity to non-target organisms since they were introduced to the market. In order to tackle the problems of insecticide resistance and ecological safety, 16 novel nitrobenzene substituted anthranilic diamides with ester, hydroxyl or sulfonyl at the 3-position of the pyrazole ring were designed and synthesized. RESULTS All of these compounds possessed good activity against the ryanodine receptor (RyR) from Spodoptera frugiperda and relatively lower activity against mammalian RyR1, showing a better insect-selectivity compared to chlorantraniliprole in a cell-based assay. The molecular docking analysis predicted the binding conformations of these compounds, which showed a good correlation between the insecticidal activity and the binding scores. In vitro studies using a calcium imaging method demonstrated that the novel compounds could not only activate the RyR but may also target the dihydropyridine receptor on the plasma membrane of insect neurons, implicating a similar but not same mode of action. CONCLUSION Substituted anthranilic diamides with an ester at the 3-position of the pyrazole ring exhibited a promising insecticidal activity and better insect-selectivity, which provided insight into the rational design of a new generation of effective diamide insecticides.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:965-973.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Almond production in California is an intensively managed agroecosystem dependent on managed pollination by honey bees, Apis mellifera L. A recent laboratory study reported synergism in honey bees between chlorantraniliprole, a common diamide insecticide used in almond orchards, and the fungicide propiconazole. Indeed, there is an emerging body of evidence that honey bee cytochrome P450 monooxygenases of the CYP9Q subfamily are involved in the detoxification of insecticides across a diverse range of chemical classes. The objective of the present study was to unveil the molecular background of the described synergism and to explore the potential role of CYP9Q enzymes in diamide detoxification. RESULTS Our study confirmed the previously reported synergistic potential of propiconazole on chlorantraniliprole in acute contact toxicity bioassays, whereas no synergism was observed for flubendiamide. Fluorescence-based biochemical assays revealed an interaction of chlorantraniliprole, but not flubendiamide, with functionally expressed CYP9Q2 and CYP9Q3. These findings were validated by an increased chlorantraniliprole tolerance of transgenic Drosophila lines expressing CYP9Q2/3, and an analytically confirmed oxidative metabolism of chlorantraniliprole by recombinantly expressed enzymes. Furthermore, we showed that several triazole fungicides used in almond orchards, including propiconazole, were strong nanomolar inhibitors of functionally expressed honey bee CYP9Q2 and CYP9Q3, whereas other fungicides such as iprodione and cyprodinil did not inhibit these enzymes. CONCLUSION Honey bee CYP9Q enzymes are involved in chlorantraniliprole metabolism and inhibited by triazole fungicides possibly leading to synergism in acute contact toxicity bioassays. Our mechanistic approach has the potential to inform tier I honey bee pesticide risk assessment.

Abstract
Insecticides are widely used in agriculture as effective means to control pests. However, pests have not been completely mitigated with the increased use of insecticides. Instead, many side effects have arisen, especially the '3Rs' (resistance, resurgence, and residue). The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, is one of the most threatening rice pests. The main insecticides for controlling N. lugens belong to organochlorine, organophosphorus, carbamate, neonicotinoid and pyrethroid groups. However, metabolic enzymes, including cytochrome P450s, esterases, glutathione-S-transferases, and ATP-binding cassette transporters, effectively promote the detoxification of insecticides. Besides, mutations of neurological target sites, such as acetylcholinesterase, nicotinic acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid receptor, and ryanodine receptor, result in insensitivity to insecticides. Here, we review the physiological metabolic resistance in N. lugens under insecticide stress to provide a theoretical basis for identifying and developing more effective and harmless insecticides.

Abstract
Laboratory colonies of diamondback moth (DBM) larvae were established from larvae collected from four sites in Georgia and Florida where diamide, specifically chlorantraniliprole, insecticide resistance was recently documented. Based on dose-response experiments, these colonies exhibited 109- to 4,298-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole, compared to a commercially available susceptible control colony. Colonies exhibited 50- to 107-fold resistance to another diamide, cyantraniliprole, based on similar dose-response experiments. All colonies were screened for the presence of four known mutations in the ryanodine receptor (RyR), the target of diamide insecticides, previously associated with resistance in Asian DBM populations. One mutation, G4946E, was identified in colonies from all four field sites, but not the susceptible control colony. Three additional RyR target site mutations, E1338D, Q4594L, and I4790M, were not identified in any of the screened samples. The estimated allele frequency of the G4946E mutation in these colonies ranged from 32 to 90%. These data are consistent with recently reported chlorantraniliprole control failures in Georgia and Florida. It is likely that the G4946E mutation is currently an important contributing factor to chlorantraniliprole resistance in Georgia and Florida DBM populations.

Abstract
Novel [CuL2Cl]Cl·H2O (1) and [FeL2Cl2]Cl·MeOH·CHCl3·H2O (2) complexes of (Z)-N'-((E)-3-methyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)picolinohydrazonamide (L) as antitumor agents were designed and synthesized in order to explore DNA and serum albumin interaction. X-ray diffraction revealed that both 1 and 2 were a triclinic crystal system with P1̄ space group, which consisted of a positive electric main unit, a negative chloride ion and some solvent molecules. The complexes with DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorescence and electronic absorption spectrometry. The results indicated that there was moderate intercalative binding mode between the complexes and DNA with Kapp values of 2.40 × 105 M-1 (1) and 6.49 × 105 M-1 (2). Agarose gel electrophoresis experiment showed that both 1 and 2 exhibited obvious DNA cleavage activity via an oxidative DNA damage pathway, and the cleavage activities of 1 were stronger than those of 2. Cytotoxicity assay showed that 1 had a more effective antitumor activity than 2. The two complexes were bound to BSA by a high affinity and quenched the fluorescence of BSA through a static mechanism. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that hydrophobic interactions played a key role in the binding process. The binding energy xpscore of 1 and 2 were -10.529 kcal mol-1 and -10.826 kcal mol-1 by docking studies, and this suggested that the binding process was spontaneous. Complex 1 displayed a lysosome-specific targeting behavior with a Pearson coefficient value of 0.82 by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and accumulated in the lysosomes, followed by the disruption of lysosomal integrity.

[PMID: 34356655 PMCID: PMC8301844 DOI: 10.3390/biom11071031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is vital for insect development and metabolism, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major intracellular reservoir for Ca2+. The inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) are large homotetrameric channels associated with the ER and serve as two major actors in ER-derived Ca2+ supply. Most of the knowledge on these receptors derives from mammalian systems that possess three genes for each receptor. These studies have inspired work on synonymous receptors in insects, which encode a single IP3R and RyR. In the current review, we focus on a fundamental, common question: “why do insect cells possess two Ca2+ channel receptors in the ER?”. Through a comparative approach, this review covers the discovery of RyRs and IP3Rs, examines their structures/functions, the pathways that they interact with, and their potential as target sites in pest control. Although insects RyRs and IP3Rs share structural similarities, they are phylogenetically distinct, have their own structural organization, regulatory mechanisms, and expression patterns, which explains their functional distinction. Nevertheless, both have great potential as target sites in pest control, with RyRs currently being targeted by commercial insecticide, the diamides.

Geographic Monitoring of Insecticide Resistance Mutations in Native and Invasive Populations of the Fall Armyworm. INSECTS 2021; 12:insects12050468. [PMID: 34070167 PMCID: PMC8158505 DOI: 10.3390/insects12050468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary The moth fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a major agricultural pest insect damaging a wide range of crops, especially corn. Field evolved resistance against Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins and synthetic insecticides has been repeatedly reported. While the fall armyworm is native to the Americas, its biological invasion was first reported from West Africa in 2016. Since then, this pest has been detected across sub-Saharan and North Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Here, we examine the geographical distribution of mutations causing resistance against Bt or synthetic insecticides to test if the invasion was accompanied by the spread of resistance mutations using 177 individuals collected from 12 geographic populations including North and South America, West and East Africa, India, and China. We observed that Bt resistance mutations generated in Puerto Rico or Brazil were found only from their native populations, while invasive populations had higher copy numbers of cytochrome P450 genes and higher proportions of resistance mutations at AChE, which are known to cause resistance against synthetic insecticides. This result explains the susceptibility to Bt insecticides and the resistance against synthetic insecticides in invasive Chinese populations. This information will be helpful in investigating the cause and consequence associated with insecticide resistance. Abstract Field evolved resistance to insecticides is one of the main challenges in pest control. The fall armyworm (FAW) is a lepidopteran pest species causing severe crop losses, especially corn. While native to the Americas, the presence of FAW was confirmed in West Africa in 2016. Since then, the FAW has been detected in over 70 countries covering sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. In this study, we tested whether this invasion was accompanied by the spread of resistance mutations from native to invasive areas. We observed that mutations causing Bt resistance at ABCC2 genes were observed only in native populations where the mutations were initially reported. Invasive populations were found to have higher gene numbers of cytochrome P450 genes than native populations and a higher proportion of multiple resistance mutations at acetylcholinesterase genes, supporting strong selective pressure for resistance against synthetic insecticides. This result explains the susceptibility to Bt insecticides and resistance to various synthetic insecticides in Chinese populations. These results highlight the necessity of regular and standardized monitoring of insecticide resistance in invasive populations using both genomic approaches and bioassay experiments.

Abstract
Diamide insecticides, such as chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, and tetrachlorantraniliprole, are a new class of insecticides that selectively target insects by affecting calcium homeostasis. While this class of insecticides are effective on a wide range of insect pests, the toxicities of diamide insecticides vary among species and life stages. In this study, we addressed the mechanism underlying the different responses of Plutella xylostella and Pieris rapae to diamide insecticides. The susceptibility to insecticides of P. xylostella and P. rapae larvae was assessed 2 and 4 days after exposure to chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, and tetrachlorantraniliprole. P. xylostella larvae treated with distilled water (Group A), chlorantraniliprole (Group B), cyantraniliprole (Group C), and tetrachlorantraniliprole (Group D) and P. rapae larvae treated with distilled water (Group E), chlorantraniliprole (Group F), cyantraniliprole (Group G) and tetrachlorantraniliprole (Group H) were subjected to metabolomics analysis. The differential metabolites in the B vs. F, C vs. G, and D vs. H groups were analyzed, followed by pathway enrichment analysis. Chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, and tetrachlorantraniliprole all showed high toxicities for P. xylostella and P. rapae larvae. P. rapae larvae were more sensitive to the diamide insecticides than P. xylostella larvae. There were 65 overlapped differential metabolites between P. xylostella and P. rapae larvae treated with these three diamide insecticides. Pathway analysis showed that the differential metabolites were closely related with fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism-related pathways. The differential regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism may contribute to the different response to diamide insecticides in P. xylostella and P. rapae.

Abstract
The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella is a major destructive pest of Brassica worldwide. P. xylostella has evolved resistance to nearly all commercial insecticides used for its control, including the most recent chemical class, diamide insecticides. Several studies show that the G4946E and I4790M mutations of ryanodine receptor (RyR) are strongly associated with diamide resistance in insects. While the pivotal functional role of G4946E in conferring diamide resistance phenotype has confirmed by several studies in different species, no direct evidence has unambiguously confirmed the functional significance of the single I4790M mutation in diamide resistance. Here, we successfully constructed a knockin homozygous strain (I4790M-KI) of P. xylostella using CRISPR/Cas9 coupled with homology directed repair approach to introduce I4790M into RyR. When compared with the background susceptible IPP-S strain, the manipulated I4790M-KI strain exhibited moderate resistance to the phthalic acid diamide flubendiamide (40.5-fold) and low resistance to anthranilic diamides chlorantraniliprole (6.0-fold) and cyantraniliprole (7.7-fold), with no changes to the toxicities of indoxacarb and β-cypermethrin. Furthermore, the acquired flubendiamide resistance was inherited in an autosomally recessive mode and significantly linked with the I4790M mutation of RyR in this I4790M-KI strain. Our findings provide in vivo functional evidence for the causality of I4790M mutation of PxRyR with moderate levels of resistance to flubendiamide in P. xylostella, and support the hypothesis that the diamide classes have different interactions with RyRs.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are homotetrameric intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release channels responsible for excitation-contraction coupling of muscle cells. Diamide insecticides specifically act on RyRs of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests and are safe for nontargeted organisms, generating big worldwide sales. Despite their popularity, several devastating agricultural pests have been reported to be resistant to them because of mutations in a small transmembrane region of their RyRs, hinting a binding pocket nearby. A potential solution to overcome resistance is to develop new insecticides targeting different binding sites in pest RyRs. Based on a high-resolution crystal structure of diamondback moth (DBM) RyR N-terminal domain (NTD) determined by our group, we carried out extensive structure-based insecticide screening targeting the intersubunit interface. We identified eight lead compounds that selectively target the open conformation of DBM RyR, which are predicted to act as channel activators similar to diamide insecticides. Binding mode analysis shows selective binding to a hydrophobic pocket of DBM NTD-A but not to the pocket of its mammalian counterpart. We tested three available compounds on the HEK293 cell lines stably expressing DBM or mammalian RyR, one of which shows good potency and selectivity against DBM RyR. The insecticidal effect of the compound was also confirmed using fruit flies. The detailed binding mode, toxicity, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and reactivity of the compound were predicted by bioinformatic methods. Together, our study lays a foundation for developing a new class of selective RyR-targeting insecticides to control both wild-type and resistant pests.
