Global Metabolic Profiling of Baculovirus Infection in Silkworm Hemolymph Shows the Importance of Amino-Acid Metabolism

Viruses, 2021
Viruses rely on host cell metabolism to provide the necessary energy and biosynthetic precursors for successful viral replication. Infection of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), has been studied extensively in the ...

Patterns in Genotype Composition of Indian Isolates of the Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus and Bombyx mori Bidensovirus

Viruses, 2021
The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.), is a model organism of lepidopteran insects with high economic importance. The viral diseases of the silkworm caused by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) and Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) inflict huge ...

The mortality of Bombyx mori larvae challenged by BmNPV is reduced when supplemented with Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria

BMC Research Notes
Objective Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) causes grasserie with severe effects in Thai strains of the silkworm Bombyx mori. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of probiotic supplementation on the survival of silkworm larvae ...

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 ...
