Aspartyl protease in the secretome of honey bee trypanosomatid parasite contributes to infection of the host

ABSTRACT: Exoproteome represents the proteome consisting of all secreted proteins and proteins derived from the cell surface and lysed cell. The exoproteome of the trypanosomatid parasite should interact with the host cells and the associated microbiota; however, the roles of infecting insect hosts are not yet understood. To uncover the functions of exoproteome, we identified the exoproteome of honey bee trypanosomatid parasite, Lotmaria passim, and found that approximately 28 % are shared with that common between Leishmania spp. It demonstrates a core exoproteome with conserved functions exists in the Leishmaniinae lineage. The bioinformatic characterization suggests that L.passim exoproteome may interact with the host and its microbiota as well as their metabolites. Deletion of genes encoding two secretome proteins revealed that an aspartyl protease but not chitinase affects the development of L. passim under the culture condition and is necessary for the efficient infection in the honey bee gut. Our results demonstrate that the exoproteome represents a resource to uncover the mechanisms of trypanosomatid parasites to infect the insect host by interacting with the gut environment.

Transcription profiling by array of honey bee workers orally exposed to two different pesticides (coumaphos, fluvalinate)

Project description:We explored the impact of coumaphos and fluvalinate, the two most abundant and frequently detected pesticides in the hive, on genome-wide gene expression patterns of honey bee workers. We found significant changes in 1118 transcripts, including genes involved in detoxification, behavioral maturation, immunity, and nutrition. Our results demonstrate that pesticide exposure can substantially impact expression of genes involved in several core physiological pathways in honey bee workers.

The IRE1 Pathway Regulates Honey Bee Unfolded Protein Response Gene Expression

Project description:Our molecular understanding of honey bee cellular stress responses is incomplete. Previously, we sought to identify and began functional characterization of the components of the UPR in honey bees. We observed that UPR stimulation resulted in induction of target genes upon and IRE1 pathway activation, as assessed by splicing of Xbp1 mRNA. However, were not able to determine the relative role of the various UPR pathways in gene activation. Our understanding of honey bee signal transduction and transcriptional regulation has been hampered by a lack of tools. After using RNAseq to expand the known UPR targets in the bee, we use the Drosophila melanogaster S2 cell line and honey bee trans and cis elements to investigate the role of the IRE-1 pathway in the transcriptional activation of one of these targets, the honey bee Hsc70-3 gene. Using a luciferase reporter, we show that honey bee hsc70 promoter activity is inducible by UPR activation. In addition, we show that this activation is IRE1-dependent and relies on specific cis regulatory elements. Experiments using exogenous honey bee or fruit fly XBP1S proteins demonstrate that both factors can activate the Hsc70-3 promoter and further support a role for the IRE-1 pathway in control of its expression in the honey bee. By providing foundational knowledge about the UPR in the honey bee and demonstrating the usefulness of a heterologous cell line for molecular characterization of honey bee pathways, this work stands to improve our understanding of this critical species.

Project description:Here we present the first characterisation of small RNAs in honey bee reproductive tissues. We conclude that small RNAs are likely to play an integral role in honey bee gametogenesis and reproduction and provide a plausible mechanism for parent-of origin-effects on gene expression and reproductive physiology. present in honey bee reproductive tissues: ovaries, spermatheca, semen, fertilised and unfertilised eggs, and testes.

The habitat disruption induces immune-suppression and oxidative stress in honey bees

Project description:Background: Honey bee is a major insect used for pollination of a number of commercial crops worldwide. However, the number of managed honey bee colonies has recently declined in several countries, and a number of possible causes are proposed. Although the use of honey bees for pollination can be considered as disruption of the habitat, its effects on honey bees' physiology have never been addressed. In Japan, more than 100 thousands colonies are annually used for pollination, and intriguingly 80% of them are used in greenhouses. Recently, honey bee colonies have often collapsed when they are introduced into greenhouses. Thus, to suppress colony collapses and maintain the number of worker bees in the colonies are essential for successful long-term pollination in greenhouses and recycling honey bee colonies.

Brain transcriptomics of honey bee parasitized by Varroa destructor or Nosema ceranae

Project description:In this study we addressed whether the transcriptome profile in the honey bee brain is similar for two major parasites of honey bee, Varroa destructor and Nosema ceranae. Honey bees parasitized by these two parasites show accelerated behavioral maturation and deficiences in orientation and learning/memory that we hoped to characterized at the transcriptomic level.

Varroa destructor LC-MSMS crossing developmental stages and sexes

Project description:Varroa destructor is one of the most prevalent and economically damaging honey bee pests worldwide, weakening colonies by simultaneously parasitizing and transmitting damaging viruses. Despite these impacts on honey bee health, surprisingly little is known about its fundamental molecular biology. Here we present a high-resolution V. destructor protein atlas crossing all major developmental stages (egg, protonymph, deutonymph and adult) for both male and female mites as a web-based interactive tool. In a proteogenomic effort, we identified 1,464 unique peptides corresponding to 419 proteins which were previously unannotated and we included these in all subsequent analyses. In order to use mass spectrometry-based peptide sequencing to augment the genome annotation of non-model species, we analyzed their amino acid and nucleotide composition as well as orthology to other species to suggest reasons why they may have been missed initially. Using label-free quantitative proteomics, we found that 1,433 proteins were differentially regulated across developmental stages, including proteins belonging to deformed wing virus and V. destructor virus. One other virus – the bee macula-like virus – was also detected, along with the protein generated by its short 3’ overlapping reading frame. In addition, we found that 101 proteins are sexually regulated and functional enrichment analysis suggests how they may contribute to sex-specific phenotypes and behaviour. Overall, this work provides a first of its kind interrogation of the patterns of gene expression that govern the Varroa life cycle and the tools we have developed will support further research on this threatening honey bee pest.
