The parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis suppresses host immune mechanisms that include melanization reactions Melanization is an important Immune response of hosts induced by wasp infection and thus its inhibition represents a successful strategy for parasitism However the molecular basis associated with such inhibition is largely unknown in N vitripennis Here we report recombinant expression structural and functional characterization of a Nasonia-derived defensin-like peptide (called nasonin-3) whose recombinant product exerts inhibitory effect on host melanization The possible role of nasonin-3 in immune suppression is also discussed (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
