A knockdown gene approach identifies an insect vector membrane protein with Leucin Rich Repeats as one of the receptors for the VmpA adhesin of flavescence dorée phytoplasma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The adhesion of flavescence dorée phytoplasma to the midgut epithelium cells of their insect vectors is partially mediated by the Variable Membrane Protein A (VmpA), an adhesin which shows lectin properties. In order to identify the insect receptor for VmpA, we lokked for Euscelidius variegatus cells proteins interacting with recombinant VmpA-His6 by mass spectrometry analysis of VmpA-E. variegatus protein complexes formed upon in vitro interaction assays.
