Abstract:

Terpinolene, a monoterpene volatile, has been demonstrated to exhibit repellent activity against Bemisia tabaci adults. However, molecular basis of B. tabaci identifying and responding to terpinolene was unclear. Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) family is one of the most important member in insect olfaction system which plays a crucial role in hosts selection. Here, we cloned 13 BtabCSP genes in B. tabaci MED and detected transcriptional response to terpinolene. Based on proteins structure prediction, molecular docking, protein expression and fluorescence competition binding assay, BtabCSP1and BtabCSP12 exhibited strong binding affinity to terpinolene. Moreover, RNA interference (RNAi) combined with Y-tube assays showed that silencing BtabCSP1 or BtabCSP12 genes weakened the repellency effect of terpinolene to B. tabaci. Our results not only revealed molecular mechanism of CSPs-mediated repellency of terpinolene against B. tabaci, but also provided a theoretical basis for terpinolene-based repellent for pest management.

Chemotaxis in E. coli

1.1K

Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli is a sensory-driven motility mechanism that enables bacteria to navigate chemical gradients, moving toward beneficial environments while avoiding harmful conditions. This process relies on a signal transduction system integrating external chemical cues with flagellar motor control.Chemoreceptors and Signal DetectionE. coli detects chemical gradients through methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs), which are membrane-bound chemoreceptors that sense attractants...

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration

5.9K

Cells can detect chemical cues in their environment and reorganize the cytoskeleton to migrate toward them or away from them. This directional migration, called chemotaxis, is essential during embryogenesis and development, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration, and reproduction. These chemical cues can either attract or repel the cell's movement. For example, axon development is determined by a combination of chemoattractants and chemorepellents that direct the growing axon...
