赤粉甲是一种重要的模式昆虫和农业害虫。然而,许多标准的遗传工具在这个系统中缺乏或不发达。在这里,我们提出了一套新的试剂,以增强现有的Tribolium遗传工具。我们展示了一种新的GAL4驱动系,它利用核糖体蛋白基因的启动子来驱动脂肪体内UAS响应器的表达。我们还提出了一种新的双重荧光报告,它用不同的荧光团标记细胞膜和细胞核,用于细胞形态的分析。这一方法还证明了病毒T2A肽在Tribolium中表达双顺反子基因的功能。为了便于经典的遗传分析,我们创建了具有可见遗传标记的系,方法是通过CRISPR介导的携带AttP位点的盒式磁带破坏黄色和乌木体色基因座,使未来的φC31介导的整合成为可能。总之,这里介绍的试剂将促进Tribolium中更强大的基因分析,并为进一步开发这一强大模型的遗传工具包提供蓝图。
The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an important model insect and agricultural pest. However, many standard genetic tools are lacking or underdeveloped in this system. Here, we present a set of new reagents to augment existing Tribolium genetic tools. We demonstrate a new GAL4 driver line that employs the promoter of a ribosomal protein gene to drive expression of a UAS responder in the fat body. We also present a novel dual fluorescent reporter that labels cell membranes and nuclei with different fluorophores for the analysis of cellular morphology. This approach also demonstrates the functionality of the viral T2A peptide for bicistronic gene expression in Tribolium. To facilitate classical genetic analysis, we created lines with visible genetic markers by CRISPR-mediated disruption of the yellow and ebony body color loci with a cassette carrying an attP site, enabling future φC31-mediated integration. Together, the reagents presented here will facilitate more robust genetic analysis in Tribolium and serve as a blueprint for the further development of this powerful model’s genetic toolkit.
