In this study, it was found that inhibiting the activity of UGT enzyme effectively increased the toxicity of chlorpyrifos to the chlorpyrifos-resistant strain of Nilaparvata lugens. The resistant strain showed higher content of UGT compared to the susceptible strain. Four UGT genes (UGT386H2, UGT386J2, UGT386N2, and UGT386P1) were significantly overexpressed in the resistant strain and could be induced by chlorpyrifos. Knockdown of UGT386H2 or UGT386P1 increased the susceptibility of the resistant strain to chlorpyrifos. These findings suggest that overexpression of these two UGT genes contributes to chlorpyrifos resistance in N. lugens.
As a multigene superfamily of Phase II detoxification enzymes, uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) play important roles in the metabolism of xenobiotics including insecticides. In this study, 5-nitrouracil, an inhibitor of UGT enzyme activity, effectively increased the toxicity of chlorpyrifos to the chlorpyrifos-resistant strain of Nilaparvata lugens, one of the most resistant rice pests. The enzyme content of UGT in the resistant strain was significantly higher than that in the susceptible strain. Among 20 identified UGT genes, UGT386H2, UGT386J2, UGT386N2 and UGT386P1 were found significantly overexpressed in the resistant strain and can be effectively induced by chlorpyrifos. These four UGT genes were most highly expressed in the midgut and/or fat body, two main insect detoxification tissues. Amino acid sequence alignments revealed that these four UGTs contained a variable N-terminal substrate-binding domain and a conserved C-terminal sugar donor-binding domain. Furthermore, homology modeling and molecular docking analyses showed that these UGTs could sta -bly bind to chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos oxon, with the binding free energies from-19.4 to-110.62 kcal mol -1. Knockdown of UGT386H2 or UGT386P1 by RNA interference dramatically increased the susceptibility of the resistant strain to chlorpyrifos. These findings suggest that overexpression of these two UGT genes contributes to chlorpyrifos resistance in N. lugens.
