Domesticated bacterial origin genes regulate homeostasis of the insect gut microbiome and empower adaptation

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
Horizontal gene transfer introduced bacterial CDC genes into the leafhopper genome, providing genetic material for subsequent evolutionary innovation. Different CDC copies diversified at the sequence, structural, and functional levels. RdCDC3 retained its ancestral pore‐forming activity and was recruited for egg defense, whereas RdCDC9 lost its ...
