Unveiling the functional contribution of Malpighian tubule specific glucose transporters to xenobiotics tolerance in Spodoptera litura
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are members of the solute carrier (SLC) family 2, which play crucial roles in various physiological processes. In this study, 108 SLC genes were identified from the transcriptomic and Spodoptera litura genome database (ASM270686v3), of which the GLUT genes were the focus. Transcriptome analysis and quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) revealed that SlGLUT2 and SlGLUT6 were specifically expressed in Malpighian tubules, and that their expression significantly increased after treatment with various xenobiotics. The structural features of the SlGLUT2 and SlGLUT6 proteins, as well as their glucose transport characteristics, were analyzed using homology modeling and molecular docking. Moreover, the ectopic expression of SlGLUT2 and SlGLUT6 in Drosophila led to a significant increase in the tolerance of the flies to diamide insecticides. Moreover, the knockdown of SlGLUT2 and SlGLUT6 expression through RNA interference (RNAi) decreased the tolerance of S. litura to cyantraniliprole and chlorantraniliprole. Therefore, SlGLUT2 and SlGLUT6 may play important roles in xenobiotic tolerance in S. litura.
期刊介绍:
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original scientific articles pertaining to the mode of action of plant protection agents such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents, biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones, and plant resistance agents. Manuscripts may include a biochemical, physiological, or molecular study for an understanding of comparative toxicology or selective toxicity of both target and nontarget organisms. Particular interest will be given to studies on the molecular biology of pest control, toxicology, and pesticide resistance.
Research Areas Emphasized Include the Biochemistry and Physiology of:
• Comparative toxicity
• Mode of action
• Pathophysiology
• Plant growth regulators
• Resistance
• Other effects of pesticides on both parasites and hosts.
