Molecular analysis of 3D domain swapping in the acylphosphatase from Escherichia coli
Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.Structures of the monomer and intertwined dimer of the acylphosphatase from E. coli shed light on the molecular basis of its 3D domain swapping.Three‐dimensional domain swapping is a mechanism by which proteins form oligomers. At present, the molecular basis that dictates whether some proteins fold in their monomeric form or as intertwined oligomers is

Insect Science, EarlyView.A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, EarlyView.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.
