KEGG for taxonomy-based analysis of pathways and genomes

Minoru Kanehisa et al.

Summary: KEGG is a manually curated database resource that integrates various biological objects classified into systems, genomic, chemical, and health information. Through the KEGG identifier and URL links, users can retrieve and browse information for different biological objects, including pathway maps, hierarchy, and genomes. KEGG has also improved KO assignment annotation and included more eukaryotic genomes for better representation of organisms in the taxonomic tree. The taxonomy mapping enables analysis of the conservation of functional and physical links among genes in different organism groups.

Weevil Carbohydrate Intake Triggers Endosymbiont Proliferation: A Trade-Off between Host Benefit and Endosymbiont Burden

Elisa Dell'Aglio et al.

Summary: Beetles rely on endosymbionts to synthesize aromatic amino acids that reinforce their protective cuticle. The exponential increase in endosymbiotic titer observed in Sitophilus oryzae/Sodalis pierantonius interaction is triggered by host carbohydrate intake. Host survival and cuticle biosynthesis are influenced by the nutritional status and food quality and availability.

Autophagy Regulates Whitefly-Symbiont Metabolic Interactions

Yan-Bin Wang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the critical role of autophagy in regulating the metabolic interactions between whitefly and two intracellular symbionts. The symbionts evade autophagy in whitefly bacteriocytes by activating the TOR pathway through providing essential nutrients. The findings also provide insights into the cellular basis of bacteriocyte evolution and symbiosis persistence in the whitefly.

Bacteriocyte development is sexually differentiated in Bemisia tabaci

Na-Na Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals how insect sex affects the development of bacteriocytes through cellular and molecular mechanisms. In the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, bacteriocytes in females undergo cell division, while bacteriocytes in males degenerate through autophagy and apoptosis. A transcription factor called Adf-1 plays a crucial role in this process.

Dynamic Regulation of NF-κB Response in Innate Immunity: The Case of the IMD Pathway in Drosophila

Alexandre Cammarata-Mouchtouris et al.

Summary: Metazoans have developed an immune system to protect themselves from pathogenic attack. The activation of NF-kappa B signaling pathways in the innate immune system provides a fast response, but uncontrolled activation can lead to inflammatory diseases or cancer. Using the Drosophila model, we can study the regulation of NF-kappa B pathways and gain general insights relevant to humans.

The transposable element-rich genome of the cereal pest Sitophilus oryzae

Nicolas Parisot et al.

Summary: The rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae, is a significant agricultural pest with an intracellular symbiotic relationship with the bacterium Sodalis pierantonius. Its genome contains a large amount of transposable elements, which are associated with the insect's endosymbiotic state. Compared to other beetles, S. oryzae has undergone a high rate of gene expansion. Reconstruction of host-symbiont metabolic networks revealed that S. pierantonius relies on the host for essential substances.
