Abstract
A series of 4-(propargyloxy) benzenesulfonamide derivatives with different substituents on the benzene ring were synthesized and evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Some of the compounds showed good insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata, and the LC50 value of the most active compound B2.5 was 0.235 mg/ml. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut epithelial cells of Mythimna separata were observed using transmission electron microscopy, and severe structural damage was found in microvilli, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum. It indicates that the possible site of action of these benzenesulfonamides is the cytoplasmic membrane and endomembrane system of the midgut epithelial cells. The above provides a basis for the development of novel insecticidal active compounds with a novel mechanism of action.

Molecular characterization and expression profiles of six genes involved in vitellogenic deposition and hydrolysis of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) suggesting their transcriptional regulation on ovarian development. Theriogenology 2021; 162:59-66. [PMID: 33444917 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2020.12.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Ovary development of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) in controlled breeding has been reported to respond to dietary lipid levels. However, the corresponding molecular regulatory mechanism about ovary development of Chinese sturgeon is still unclear. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of vitellogenic deposition and hydrolysis, six key genes, namely, vtgr (vitellogenin receptor), atp6v1c1 (Vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit c1), atp6v1h (Vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit h), ctsb (cathepsin B), ctsd (cathepsin D) and ctsl (cathepsin L) involved in vitellogenic deposition and hydrolysis of Chinese sturgeon were cloned and characterized, and their spatio-temporal mRNA expression profiles as well as transcriptional responses to dietary lipid level were investigated. The full-length cDNA sequences of these six genes showed similar domain structure to their respective orthologous genes from other vertebrates. Tissue-specific expression patterns of these genes were observed in ovary, liver, muscle, spleen, brain, gill, intestine, heart, stomach and kidney. Ovarian expression level of vtgr was the highest in stage II, and ctsl expression was the highest in stage IV, while the mRNA expressions of other 4 genes were the highest in stage III. The increase of dietary lipid level promoted ovary development and elevated the expressions of vtgr, atp6v1c1, atp6v1h, ctsb and ctsd in the ovary. The results of the present study indicated that these genes are crucial for vitellogenic deposition, and provided a preliminary understanding on the molecular regulation of vitellogenic deposition and hydrolysis during ovary development of Chinese sturgeon.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205125. [PMID: 31623139 PMCID: PMC6829547 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20205125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Revised: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) plays many important roles in cell growth and in response to stresses in plants. The V-ATPase subunit H (VHA-H) is required to form a stable and active V-ATPase. Genome-wide analyses of VHA-H genes in crops contribute significantly to a systematic understanding of their functions. A total of 22 VHA-H genes were identified from 11 plants representing major crops including cotton, rice, millet, sorghum, rapeseed, maize, wheat, soybean, barley, potato, and beet. All of these VHA-H genes shared exon-intron structures similar to those of Arabidopsis thaliana. The C-terminal domain of VHA-H was shorter and more conserved than the N-terminal domain. The VHA-H gene was effectively used as a genetic marker to infer the phylogenetic relationships among plants, which were congruent with currently accepted taxonomic groupings. The VHA-H genes from six species of crops (Gossypium raimondii, Brassica napus, Glycine max, Solanum tuberosum, Triticum aestivum, and Zea mays) showed high gene structural diversity. This resulted from the gains and losses of introns. Seven VHA-H genes in six species of crops (Gossypium raimondii, Hordeum vulgare, Solanum tuberosum, Setaria italica, Triticum aestivum, and Zea mays) contained multiple transcript isoforms arising from alternative splicing. The study of cis-acting elements of gene promoters and RNA-seq gene expression patterns confirms the role of VHA-H genes as eco-enzymes. The gene structural diversity and proteomic diversity of VHA-H genes in our crop sampling facilitate understanding of their functional diversity, including stress responses and traits important for crop improvement.

Abstract
A series of insecticidal dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters were isolated from the root bark of Chinese bittersweet (Celastrus angulatus Max). A previous study indicated that these compounds affect the digestive system of insects, and aminopeptidase N3 and V-ATPase have been identified as the most putative target proteins by affinity chromatography. In this study, the correlation between the affinity of the compounds to subunit H and the insecticidal activity or inhibitory effect on the activity of V-ATPase was analyzed to validate the target protein. Results indicated that the subunit H of V-ATPase was the target protein of the insecticidal compounds. In addition, the possible mechanism of action of the compounds was discussed. The results provide new ideas for developing pesticides acting on V-ATPase of insects.
