The Metarhizium anisopliae Toxin, Destruxin A, Interacts with the SEC23A and TEME214 Proteins of Bombyx mori.

ABSTRACT: Destruxin A (DA), a mycotoxin isolated from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, has good insecticidal and immune-inhibitory activity, but the action mechanism has not yet been elucidated. In order to identify the DA-binding proteins, we conducted drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) experiments, which indicated that the silkworm's (Bombyx mori) transmembrane protein 214 (BmTEME214) and protein transport protein SEC23A isoform X2 (BmSEC23) are the potential DA-binding proteins. The current research was focused on validation of the interaction between DA and these two proteins via bio-layer interferometry (BLI) in vitro, insect two-hybrid (I2H) in Sf9 cells, and RNAi in the insect. The results of the BLI tests showed that DA has strong affinity to bind BmTEME214 and BmSEC23 proteins with a K_D value of 0.286 and 0.291 µM, respectively. In the I2H experiments, DA inhibited (at 0.02 µg/mL) and activated (at 0.002-0.0002 µg/mL) the protein interactions of BmSEC23-BmSEC13, but it only inhibited the BmTMEM214-BmSEC13L interaction. Furthermore, in the RNAi tests, an apparent increase in the silkworm's mortality was recorded in the joint treatment of DA with dsBmSEC23 or dsBmTMEM214 when compared with the single treatment of DA (1.5 µg/g body), 40 µg/g body dsBmSEC23, or dsBmTMEM214. This research confirmed that BmSEC23 and BmTMEM214 are the DA-binding proteins and provided new insights to understand the action mechanism of DA.

Gene expression profile of Bombyx mori hemocyte under the stress of destruxin A.

Project description:Destruxin A (DA) is a cyclo-peptidic mycotoxin from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. To uncover potential genes associated with its molecular mechanisms, a digital gene expression (DGE) profiling analysis was used to compare differentially expressed genes in the hemocytes of silkworm larvae treated with DA. Ten DGE libraries were constructed, sequenced, and assembled, and the unigenes with least 2.0-fold difference were further analyzed. The numbers of up-regulated genes were 10, 20, 18, 74 and 8, as well as the numbers of down-regulated genes were 0, 1, 8, 13 and 3 at 1, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post treatment, respectively. Totally, the expression of 132 genes were significantly changed, among them, 1, 3 and 12 genes were continually up-regulated at 4, 3 and 2 different time points, respectively, while 1 gene was either up or down-regulated continually at 2 different time points. Furthermore, 68 genes were assigned to one or multiple gene ontology (GO) terms and 89 genes were assigned to specific Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Orthology. In-depth analysis identified that these genes putatively involved in insecticide resistance, cell apoptosis, and innate immune defense. Finally, twenty differentially expressed genes were randomly chosen and validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Our studies provide insights into the toxic effect of this microbial insecticide on silkworm's hemocytes, and are helpful to better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of DA as a biological insecticide.

Binding proteins of destruxin A from Metarhizium against insect cell.

Project description:Destruxin A (DA) is a cyclo-hexadepsipeptidic insecticidal mycotoxin isolated from the entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium spp. However, its mode of action is unknown. In this study, we isolated 149 candidate DA-binding proteins by drug affinity response target stability, and determined the interactions of 80 canditates with DA in vitro by surface plasmon resonance. The affinity coefficients (KD) ranged from 24 to 469 μM. Binding proteins were functionally diverse and included cytoskeletal components and cell motility, protein transcription and translation pathways, ubiquitin dependent protein metabolic processes, nucleus pore entry and exit, and endoplasmic reticulum vesicle transport and etc. Electron microscopy revealed that DA damaged the cytoskeleton and multiple organelles, disrupted cell adhesion and motility, and led to cell death. DA appeared to have a multi-targeted approach to cellular structures and multiple life processes, leading to cell death. The results of this study could provide molecular evidence for the analysis of the insecticidal toxicology of DA and further improve the study of the pathogenic insect mechanism of Metarhizium.

Bioinformatics Analysis and Functional Characterization of the CFEM Proteins of <i>Metarhizium anisopliae</i>.

Project description:The entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae is a facultative rhizosphere or endophytic fungus available for managing pests and improving plant growth. The CFEM (common in fungal extracellular membrane) proteins form a unique group in fungi but are rarely reported in entomopathogens. In this study, we cloned and identified 13 CFEM genes from M. anisopliae (MaCFEMs). Sequence alignment and WebLogo analysis showed that eight cysteines were the most conserved amino acids in their CFEM domain. Phylogenic analysis suggested that these 13 proteins could be divided into 4 clades based on the presence of the transmembrane region and the position of CFEM domain in the whole sequence. Six MaCFEM proteins with a signal peptide and without a transmembrane domain were considered candidate effector proteins. According to Phyre2 analysis, the MaCFEM88 and MaCFEM85 have the most homologous to Csa2 in Candida albicans. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that five effectors were located in the plasma membrane, while MaCFEM88 may locate in both plasma membrane and nucleus in the treated Nicotiana benthamiana. Expression pattern analysis showed that MaCFEM81, 85, 88, and 89 expression level was significantly higher in the sporulation stage compared to other growth stages. Furthermore, the yeast secretion assay showed that six candidate effectors were able to secrete out of the cell. All of the MaCFEMs couldn't affect INF1-induced programmed cell death (PCD), but MaCFEM85 and 88 could trigger a slight hypersensitive response both when applied separately or in combination with INF1 in N. benthamiana leaves. These findings showed that six MaCFEM potential effectors with various structures and subcellular localizations in host cells might be used to illustrate the roles of MaCFEM proteins during M. anisopliae-plant interactions.

Metarhizium anisopliae pathogenesis of mosquito larvae: a verdict of accidental death.

Project description:Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods, kills the aquatic larvae of Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and yellow fever. The fungus kills without adhering to the host cuticle. Ingested conidia also fail to germinate and are expelled in fecal pellets. This study investigates the mechanism by which this fungus adapted to terrestrial hosts kills aquatic mosquito larvae. Genes associated with the M. anisopliae early pathogenic response (proteinases Pr1 and Pr2, and adhesins, Mad1 and Mad2) are upregulated in the presence of larvae, but the established infection process observed in terrestrial hosts does not progress and insecticidal destruxins were not detected. Protease inhibitors reduce larval mortality indicating the importance of proteases in the host interaction. The Ae. aegypti immune response to M. anisopliae appears limited, whilst the oxidative stress response gene encoding for thiol peroxidase is upregulated. Cecropin and Hsp70 genes are downregulated as larval death occurs, and insect mortality appears to be linked to autolysis through caspase activity regulated by Hsp70 and inhibited, in infected larvae, by protease inhibitors. Evidence is presented that a traditional host-pathogen response does not occur as the species have not evolved to interact. M. anisopliae retains pre-formed pathogenic determinants which mediate host mortality, but unlike true aquatic fungal pathogens, does not recognise and colonise the larval host.
