Wright–Giemsa staining to observe phagocytes in Locusta migratoria infected with Metarhizium acridum
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2016Hemocytes are the first line of defense in the invertebrate immune system. Understanding their roles in cellular immunity is important for developing more efficient mycoinsecticides. However, the exact classification of hemocytes has been inconsistent and the various types of phagocytes in Locusta migratoria are poorly defined.

Transformation of glycerate kinase (
AbstractBACKGROUNDImprovements in the virulence of the fungal pathogen Metarhizium acridum can crucially promote its efficacy to control locusts and grasshoppers. The polysaccharide components of the cell wall remarkably contribute to fungal virulence.RESULTSHere we found that M.

Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) catalyzes the reversible interconversion of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P), providing a link between glycolysis and the mannose metabolic pathway. In this study, we identified pmi gene (Mapmi) from the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium acridum, and analyzed its functions using RNA ...

As a conserved post-translational modification, O-mannosyltransferase families play important roles in many cellular processes. Three subfamilies (MaPmt1, MaPmt2 and MaPmt4) are grouped in Metarhizium acridum according to sequence homology. The functions of MaPmt1 and MaPmt4 have been characterized in M. acridum previously. In this study, the functions

A glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (gpd) promoter (PMagpd) was obtained from Metarhizium acridum and its active region analyzed by 5'-deletion strategy using β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter. Sequence analysis revealed that typical regulatory elements of PMagpd were included in the 1.7 kb region upstream of the start codon of the Magpd ...

For pathogens, the ability to acquire available nutrients in a host is a key to their survival and replication. Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Metarhizium secrete trehalase, which enables them to use trehalose, the predominant sugar in insects. Here, the roles of the acid trehalase gene (ATM1) in the in vivo growth and virulence of Metarhizium ...

The Rab GTPase activating protein Gyp2 contributes to UV stress tolerance in Metarhizium acridum
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018GTPase activation protein (GAP) for Rab GTPases can accelerate GTP hydrolysis to alter the activity of Rab GTPases. To explore the function of GAP in entomopathogenic fungi, we constructed a deletion mutant of Gyp2 gene, a member of the Gyp (GAP for Ypt/Rab proteins) family in the locust-specific fungal pathogen, Metarhizium acridum.

Calcineurin is highly conserved and regulates growth, conidiation, stress response, and pathogenicity in fungi. However, the functions of calcineurin and its regulatory network in entomopathogenic fungi are not clear. In this study, calcineurin was functionally analyzed by deleting the catalytic subunit MaCnA from the entomopathogenic fungus ...
