Abstract
As an agricultural pest, the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, poses a severe threat to agriculture in China. Chlorantraniliprole has been widely used to control this pest. In our previous studies, we discovered that LD10, LD20, and LD30 chlorantraniliprole promoted encapsulation in the 4th instar larvae of the FAW, with LD30 chlorantraniliprole having the most significant effect. To further investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on encapsulation in the FAW, this study conducted the effects of encapsulation in 4th instar larvae of the FAW exposed to LD30 chlorantraniliprole. Then, we analyzed the transcriptome of the FAW hemolymph treated with LD30 chlorantraniliprole and identified genes related to encapsulation using RNAi. Our results showed that the encapsulation in the FAW was enhanced at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h after exposure to LD30 chlorantraniliprole. Additionally, LD30 chlorantraniliprole significantly affected the expression of certain immune-related genes, with the heat shock protein 70 family gene SfHSP68.1 showing the most significant upregulation. Subsequent interference with SfHSP68.1 resulted in a significant inhibition of encapsulation in FAW. These findings suggested that LD30 chlorantraniliprole can promote encapsulation in the FAW by upregulating SfHSP68.1 expression. This study provides valuable insights into the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on encapsulation in the FAW and the interaction between encapsulation and heat shock proteins (HSPs).

Zhang H, Sun F, Zhang W, Gao X, Du L, Yun X, Li Y, Li L, Pang B, Tan Y. Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Galeruca daurica Reveals Cold Tolerance Mechanisms. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:2177. [PMID: 38136998 PMCID: PMC10742598 DOI: 10.3390/genes14122177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Galeruca daurica (Joannis) is a pest species with serious outbreaks in the Inner Mongolian grasslands in recent years, and its larvae and eggs are extremely cold-tolerant. To gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanism of its cold-tolerant stress response, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly of G. daurica via RNA-Seq and compared the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of first- and second-instar larvae grown and developed indoors and outdoors, respectively. The results show that cold tolerance in G. daurica is associated with changes in gene expression mainly involved in the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway, the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway and the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Compared with the control group (indoor), the genes associated with gluconeogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis and HSP production were up-regulated in the larvae grown and developed outdoors. While the changes in these genes were related to the physiological metabolism and growth of insects, it was hypothesized that the proteins encoded by these genes play an important role in cold tolerance in insects. In addition, we also investigated the expression of genes related to the metabolic pathway of HSPs, and the results show that the HSP-related genes were significantly up-regulated in the larvae of G. daurica grown and developed outdoors compared with the indoor control group. Finally, we chose to induce significant expression differences in the Hsp70 gene (Hsp70A1, Hsp70-2 and Hsp70-3) via RNAi to further illustrate the role of heat stress proteins in cold tolerance on G. daurica larvae. The results show that separate and mixed injections of dsHSP70A1, dsHsp70-2 and dsHsp70-3 significantly reduced expression levels of the target genes in G. daurica larvae. The super-cooling point (SCP) and the body fluid freezing point (FP) of the test larvae were determined after RNAi using the thermocouple method, and it was found that silencing the Hsp70 genes significantly increased the SCP and FP of G. daurica larvae, which validated the role of heat shock proteins in the cold resistance of G. daurica larvae. Our findings provide an important theoretical basis for further excavating the key genes and proteins in response to extremely cold environments and analyzing the molecular mechanism of cold adaptation in insects in harsh environments.

[PMID: 34964171 DOI: 10.1002/prot.26294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Chaperonin Hsp60, as a protein found in all organisms, is of great interest in medicine, since it is present in many tissues and can be used both as a drug and as an object of targeted therapy. Hence, Hsp60 deserves a fundamental comparative analysis to assess its evolutionary characteristics. It was found that the percent identity of Hsp60 amino acid sequences both within and between phyla was not high enough to identify Hsp60s as highly conserved proteins. However, their ATP binding sites are largely conserved. The amino acid composition of Hsp60s remained relatively constant. At the same time, the analysis of the nucleotide sequences showed that GC content in the Hsp60 genes was comparable to or greater than the genomic values, which may indicate a high resistance to mutations due to tight control of the nucleotide composition by DNA repair systems. Natural selection plays a dominant role in the evolution of Hsp60 genes. The degree of mutational pressure affecting the Hsp60 genes is quite low, and its direction does not depend on taxonomy. Interestingly, for the Hsp60 genes from Chordata, Arthropoda, and Proteobacteria the exact direction of mutational pressure could not be determined. However, upon further division into classes, it was found that the direction of the mutational pressure for Hsp60 genes from Fish differs from that for other chordates. The direction of the mutational pressure affects the synonymous codon usage bias. The number of high and low represented codons increases with increasing GC content, which can improve codon usage. Special server has been created for bioinformatics analysis of Hsp60: http://oka.protres.ru:4202/.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 386:121988.

Abstract
Here, the microbial responses to Cr(VI) and Pb(II) with bio-removal of the metals in water by Pannonibacter phragmitetus BB were explored. The comparative bacterial proteomics showed that the intracellular and extracellular Cr(VI) reduction proteins, Pb(II) adsorption by the lipoprotein and sugar-related bacterial proteins, as well as Pb(II) precipitation by phosphate and OH- were vital to the bio-removal of Cr(VI) and Pb(II). Moreover, the influx and efflux channels of Cr(VI) and Cr(III), Pb(II) transporters, extracellular siderophores for Pb(II) complexation and antioxidant proteins enabled the strain BB to resist the toxicity of Cr(VI) and Pb(II). In addition, the dynamic expression levels of the proteins related to reduction and transportation of Cr(VI), and adsorption, transportation and complexation of Pb(II) were dependent on the corresponding metal, respectively. The anti-oxidative stress system, such as superoxide dismutase, and Na+/H+ antiporters played central roles in the protein-protein interaction network to resist and detoxify Cr(VI) and Pb(II). The results of our study provide a novel insight for the physiological responses of the strain BB to the combined stresses of Pb(II) and Cr(VI).
