Balancing Selection of the Intracellular Pathogen Response in Natural Caenorhabditis elegans Populations

Lisa van Sluijs et al.

Summary: Genetic variation in host populations can result in differential susceptibility to viruses. This study investigates the natural genetic variation in the Intracellular Pathogen Response (IPR) of Caenorhabditis elegans against Orsay virus (OrV). The findings suggest that the pals-gene family, which is involved in the IPR, exhibits genetic diversity that can be categorized into a few haplotypes worldwide. In particular, two key IPR regulators, pals-22 and pals-25, show signatures of balancing selection. The study also reveals that different pals-22 pals-25 haplotypes shape the defense against OrV and host genetic variation can lead to constitutive activation of IPR genes.

Specific collagens maintain the cuticle permeability barrier in Caenorhabditis elegans

Anjali Sandhu et al.

Summary: Collagen-enriched cuticle is the outermost layer of skin in C. elegans, regulated by six permeability determining collagens that maintain barrier function and provide protection against exogenous toxins. These PD collagens regulate cuticle permeability by controlling expression levels to enhance survival and work in parallel with other transcription factors.

Dense time-course gene expression profiling of the Drosophila melanogaster innate immune response

Florencia Schlamp et al.

Summary: The immune response requires rapid initiation and maintenance, while also being balanced with other physiological processes. Tight control of initiation kinetics and shutdown dynamics for specific immune genes has been observed. In D. melanogaster, a trade-off between immune genes and metabolic genes was identified, with metabolic genes showing recovery to pre-infection levels before the immune response was fully resolved.

Punctuated Loci on Chromosome IV Determine Natural Variation in Orsay Virus Susceptibility of Caenorhabditis elegans Strains Bristol N2 and Hawaiian CB4856

Mark G. Sterken et al.

Summary: Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, this study dissected the genetic architecture of Orsay virus infection and identified two loci on chromosome IV associated with susceptibility. Additionally, it was found that other genetic elements may also influence viral infection susceptibility.
