Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal

The bacterial symbiont Wolbachia induces resistance to RNA viral infections in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
Wolbachia are vertically transmitted, obligatory intracellular bacteria that infect a great number of species of arthropods and nematodes. In insects, they are mainly known for disrupting the reproductive biology of their hosts in order to increase their

Gut Microbial Genetic Variation Prolongs Host Healthy Longevity and Remodels Metabolome and Proteome in Drosophila Melanogaster

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that specific genetic variations in gut‐residing Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly extend healthspan and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster. These mutants rejuvenate aged intestinal metabolism, upregulate mitochondrial proteins, and enhance energy pathways.

Viral Systemic Movement Is Enhanced by Alteration of a Structural Phloem Protein by the Insect Vector

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aphids release salivary protein GLD into plants, which induces ROS in the phloem. This leads to the intermolecular disulfide bonds formation among SEO proteins, promoting their transition from the dispersed state to the aggregated state. SEO can interact with CMV CP.

Infection Dynamics and Immune Response in a Newly Described Drosophila-Trypanosomatid Association

mBio, 2015
Trypanosomatid parasites are significant causes of human disease and are ubiquitous in insects. Despite the importance of Drosophila melanogaster as a model of infection and immunity and a long awareness that trypanosomatid infection is common in the ...

Stabilized Ion Selectivity Corrects Activation Drift in Kalium Channelrhodopsins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As newly emerged optogenetic tools, potassium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) can drift from inhibition to activation during illumination as K⁺ selectivity declines. It is shown that both the absolute K⁺/Na⁺ permeability ratio and its stability over time govern this drift, identify KCR1‐C29D as a reliably inhibitory variant, and outline design principles for ...
