The NPC Families Mediate BmNPV Entry

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Baculovirus is an important biological factor for controlling insect populations and represents a powerful biological tool for gene delivery and expression. However, the host receptor of baculovirus is still unknown.

lncR26319/miR‐2834/EndophilinA axis regulates oogenesis of the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 65-80, February 2023., 2023
Vitellogenesis, the timely production and uptake of yolk proteins, is essential for female fecundity. In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, a nucleus‐enriched long‐noncoding RNA (lncRNA) lncR26319 regulates Endophilin A (EndoA), a member of the endophilin protein family of endocytosis, by competitively binding to miR‐2834.

The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: Enemy release and spillover events

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 9, Page 1826-1841, September 2022., 2022
The infection of the invasive fall armyworm, with a natural enemy from its native range and novel pathogens from its new range, has important consequences for understanding the population ecology of invasive species and virus–insect interactions. The authors show that temporal and geographic factors are also important in understanding the distribution ...

Bacterial pigments: A colorful palette reservoir for biotechnological applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 981-1001, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Synthetic derivatives are currently used instead of pigments in many applicative fields, from food to feed, from pharmaceutical to diagnostic, from agronomy to industry. Progress in organic chemistry allowed to obtain rather cheap compounds covering the whole color spectrum. However, several concerns arise from this chemical approach, as it is

Two Cholesterol Recognition Amino Acid Consensus Motifs of GP64 with Uncleaved Signal Peptide Are Required for Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus Infection

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The signal peptide (SP) of integrated membrane proteins is removed cotranslationally or posttranslationally in the endoplasmic reticulum, while GP64, a membrane fusion protein of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), retains its SP in the mature ...

RNA N6‐methyladenosine modification suppresses replication of rice black streaked dwarf virus and is associated with virus persistence in its insect vector

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 1070-1081, September 2021., 2021
N6 methylation of adenosine modification might be the epigenetic mechanism that regulates rice black streaked dwarf virus replication in its insect vector and maintains a certain virus threshold for persistent transmission. Abstract N6 methylation of adenosine (m6A) was recently discovered to play a role in regulating the life cycle of various viruses ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Disruption of the lef8 and lef9 to Inhibit Nucleopolyhedrovirus Replication in Silkworms

Viruses, 2022
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a pathogen that causes severe disease in silkworms. In a previous study, we demonstrated that by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to disrupt the BmNPV ie-1 and me53 genes, transgenic silkworms showed resistance to ...

Overexpression Bombyx mori HEXIM1 Facilitates Immune Escape of Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus by Suppressing BmRelish-Driven Immune Responses

Viruses, 2022
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), a typical arthropod-specific enveloped DNA virus, is one of the most serious pathogens in silkworm farming, but the potential mechanisms of the evasion of innate immune responses from BmNPV infection are still ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of Differentially Expressed microRNA in Bombyx mori Infected with Nucleopolyhedrosis Virus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) is a major pathogen that threatens the growth and sustainability of the sericulture industry. Since microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in host-pathogen interactions, in this study we ...

Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus p26 Is Associated with Viral Late Stage Replication

Insects, 2021
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) p26 is conserved among all Lepidoptera baculoviruses that have been completely sequenced thus far, and some baculoviruses even have two copies of p26, which suggested that p26 may play an important role in the ...
