RNA-Seq of the Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus-1a (SfAV-1a) infecting 3rd instar Spodoptera frugiperda caterpillars in vivo

ABSTRACT: Purpose: we targeted the transcription profile of two types of SfAV-1a genes, first, we targeted, core genes that occur in several ascovirus species, second, we targeted, genes predicted by in silico analysis to have metabolic functions likely involved in synthesizing viral vesicle membranes, the distinguishing feature of ascovirus cytopathology.

Spodoptera frugiperda kinetochore co-immunoprecipitations

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation requires assembly of the multiprotein kinetochore complex at centromeres. In most eukaryotes, kinetochore assembly is primed by the histone H3 variant CenH3, which physically interacts with components of the inner kinetochore constitutive-centromere-associated-network (CCAN). Unexpected to its critical function, previous work identified that select eukaryotic lineages, including several insects, have lost CenH3, while having retained homologs of the CCAN. These findings imply alternative CCAN assembly pathways in these organisms that function in CenH3-independent manners. Here, we study the composition and assembly of CenH3-independent kinetochores of Lepidoptera. We show that lepidopteran kinetochores consist of previously identified CCAN homologs as well as additional components including a divergent CENP-T homolog, which are required for accurate mitotic progression. Our study focuses on CENP-T that we find both necessary and sufficient to recruit the Mis12 outer kinetochore complex. In addition, CRISPR-mediated gene editing in Bombyx mori establishes an essential function of CENP-T in vivo. Finally, the retention of CENP-T homologs in other independently-derived CenH3-deficient insects indicates a conserved mechanism of kinetochore assembly between these lineages. Our study provides the first functional insights into CCAN-based kinetochore assembly pathways that function independently of CenH3, thus contributing to the emerging picture of an unexpected plasticity to build a kinetochore.

P64, a novel major virion DNA-binding protein potentially involved in condensing the Spodoptera frugiperda Ascovirus 1a genome.

Project description:We recently identified 21 structural proteins in the virion of Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus 1a (SfAV1a), a virus with a large, double-stranded DNA genome of 157 kbp, which attacks species of the lepidopteran family Noctuidae. The two most abundant virion proteins were the major capsid protein and a novel protein (P64) of 64 kDa that contained two distinct domains not known previously to occur together. The amino-terminal half of P64 (residues 1 to 263) contained four repeats (a recently recognized motif with an unknown function) of a virus-specific two-cysteine adaptor. Adjoined to this, the carboxy-terminal half of P64 (residues 279 to 455) contained 14 copies of a highly basic, tandemly repeated motif rich in arginine and serine, having an 11- to 13-amino-acid consensus sequence, SPSQRRSTS(V/K)(A/S)RR, yielding a predicted isoelectric point of 12.2 for this protein. In the present study, we demonstrate by Southwestern analysis that SfAV1a P64 was the only virion structural protein that bound DNA. Additional electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that P64 bound SfAV1a as well as non-SfAV1a DNA. Furthermore, we show through immunogold labeling of ultrathin sections that P64 is a component of virogenic stroma and appears to be progressively incorporated into the SfAV1a DNA core during virion assembly. As no other virion structural protein bound DNA and no basic DNA-binding proteins of lower mass are encoded by the SfAV1a genome or were identified by proteomic analysis, our results suggest that P64's function is to condense the large genome of this virus and assist in packaging this genome into its virion.

Expression of ricin B chain in Spodoptera frugiperda.

Project description:DNA encoding ricin B chain was derived from preproricin genomic DNA and ligated into the baculovirus transfer vector, pAcGP67A. Co-transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells with BaculoGold DNA was followed by limiting dilution purification of recombinant baculovirus. Infection of SF9 cells at a multiplicity of infection of 1 in the presence of 25 mM lactose produced 3 mg/l of soluble, glycosylated, 34 kDa protein immunoreactive with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to ricin B chain. The recombinant ricin B chain had similar lectin-binding activity to plant ricin B chain. The recombinant protein reassociated with ricin toxin A chain similarly to ricin toxin B chain and the recombinant heterodimers had similar cell cytotoxicity to ricin.

Genomic sequence of Spodoptera frugiperda Ascovirus 1a, an enveloped, double-stranded DNA insect virus that manipulates apoptosis for viral reproduction.

Project description:Ascoviruses (family Ascoviridae) are double-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that attack lepidopterans, where they produce large, enveloped virions, 150 by 400 nm, and cause a chronic, fatal disease with a cytopathology resembling that of apoptosis. After infection, host cell DNA is degraded, the nucleus fragments, and the cell then cleaves into large virion-containing vesicles. These vesicles and virions circulate in the hemolymph, where they are acquired by parasitic wasps during oviposition and subsequently transmitted to new hosts. To develop a better understanding of ascovirus biology, we sequenced the genome of the type species Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus 1a (SfAV-1a). The genome consisted of 156,922 bp, with a G+C ratio of 49.2%, and contained 123 putative open reading frames coding for a variety of enzymes and virion structural proteins, of which tentative functions were assigned to 44. Among the most interesting enzymes, due to their potential role in apoptosis and viral vesicle formation, were a caspase, a cathepsin B, several kinases, E3 ubiquitin ligases, and especially several enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, including a fatty acid elongase, a sphingomyelinase, a phosphate acyltransferase, and a patatin-like phospholipase. Comparison of SfAV-1a proteins with those of other viruses showed that 10% were orthologs of Chilo iridescent virus proteins, the highest correspondence with any virus, providing further evidence that ascoviruses evolved from a lepidopteran iridovirus. The SfAV-1a genome sequence will facilitate the determination of how ascoviruses manipulate apoptosis to generate the novel virion-containing vesicles characteristic of these viruses and enable study of their origin and evolution.

MicroRNAs Mediate Insecticide Tolerance in Spodoptera frugiperda

Project description:Spodoptera frugiperda is the world’s major agricultural pests, and has the distinctive features of high fecundity, strong migratory capacity and high resistance to most insecticides. At present, the control of S. frugiperda in China relies mainly on the spraying of chemical insecticides. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs, and play crucial regulatory roles in various physiological processes, including the insecticide resistance in insects. However, little is known about the regulatory roles of miRNAs on the resistance of S. frugiperda to insecticides. In the present research, the miRNAs that were differentially expressed after cyantraniliprole, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate and tetraniliprole treatment were analyzed by RNA-Seq. A total of 504 miRNAs were systematically identified from S. frugiperda, and 24, 22, 31 and 30 miRNAs were differentially expressed after treatments of cyantraniliprole, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate and tetraniliprole. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were used to predict the function of differentially expressed miRNAs’ target genes. Importantly, ten miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed among the treatments of three insecticides. MiR-278-5p, miR-13b-3p, miR-10485-5p and miR-10483-5p were significantly down-regulated among the treatments of three insecticides by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-278-5p, miR-13b-3p, miR-10485-5p and miR-10483-5p significantly increased the mortality of S. frugiperda to cyantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate. The mortality was significantly increased with spinetoram treatment after overexpression of miR-13b-3p, miR-10485-5p and miR-10483-5p. These results suggest that miRNAs, which are differentially expressed in response to insecticides, may play a key regulatory role in the insecticide resistance in S. frugiperda.
