项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mosquitoes are insect vectors responsible for the transmission of many infectious diseases to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Females of most mosquito species require blood from vertebrate animals for their egg development. Multiple bloodfeedings enable mosquitoes to transmit disease pathogens, including malaria parasites and dengue virus, from one person to another. Our long term goal of this project is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that regulate mosquito egg production and identify target molecules that can be utilized for mosquito control. Mosquito egg development is governed by alternating peaks of two major insect hormones - juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Deprivation of JH in newly emerged adult female mosquitoes will halt egg maturation. On the other hand, topical application of JH to mosquitoes shortly after blood feeding interferes with the normal responses to 20E and impairs egg production. We have recently demonstrated that the mosquito Methoprene-tolerant (AaMet) protein is a key player in the juvenile hormone signaling pathway in the newly emerged adult female mosquitoes. AaMet protein binds to JH and forms a complex with AaFISC protein, a coactivator of the 20E receptor. AaMet and AaFISC are found to be associated with the promoters of JH target genes and activate their expression. In addition, our preliminary studies imply that AaMet mediates the inhibitory effects of JH on 20E-induced gene expression. Taken together, the results suggest that AaMet and AaFISC are components of a juvenile hormone receptor. The objective of this project is to elucidate the molecular details of how AaMet functions in juvenile hormone signaling that regulates egg maturation in mosquitoes. In Aim 1, we will perform structure-function studies of the juvenile hormone binding domain in AaMet and define the structural determinants required for high affinity binding to JH. In Aim 2, we will investigate how AaMet and AaFISC proteins are recruited to juvenile hormone response elements in the JH target genes. In Aim 3, we will test the hypothesis that AaMet is involved in the crosstalk between juvenile hormone and 20E signals in blood-fed female mosquitoes. The study will significantly advance our understanding of the molecular action of juvenile hormone in mosquitoes, and provide a structural basis for designing new pesticides that specifically target the mosquito JH signaling pathway.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which the mosquito juvenile hormone regulates egg maturation in adult female mosquitoes. A better understanding of the hormone action at the molecular level is of paramount importance for designing new mosquito pesticides that specifically block the action of juvenile hormone, potentially disrupting all the biological processes in mosquitoes that are regulated by juvenile hormone.
描述(申请人提供):蚊子是昆虫媒介,负责向全球数亿人传播许多传染病。大多数蚊子的雌性需要脊椎动物的血液来发育卵。多次吸血使蚊子能够将疾病病原体,包括疟疾寄生虫和登革热病毒,从一个人传播到另一个人。本项目的长期目标是阐明调节蚊子产卵的分子机制,并确定可用于蚊子控制的靶分子。蚕卵的发育受两种主要昆虫激素-保幼激素(JH)和20-羟基蜕皮激素(20 E)的交替高峰控制。在新出现的成年雌蚊中去除JH会阻止卵成熟。另一方面,局部应用JH蚊子吸血后不久干扰正常反应20 E和损害产卵。我们最近已经证明,蚊子的甲氧普萘耐受(AaMet)蛋白是一个关键的球员在新出现的成年雌性蚊子的保幼激素信号通路。AaMet蛋白与JH结合,并与AaFISC蛋白(20 E受体的共激活物)形成复合物。发现AaMet和AaFISC与JH靶基因的启动子相关并激活其表达。此外,我们的初步研究表明,AaMet介导JH对20 E诱导的基因表达的抑制作用。两者合计,结果表明,AaMet和AaFISC是保幼激素受体的组成部分。该项目的目的是阐明AaMet如何在调节蚊子卵成熟的保幼激素信号传导中发挥作用的分子细节。在目标1中,我们将进行AaMet中保幼激素结合结构域的结构-功能研究,并确定与JH高亲和力结合所需的结构决定因素。在目标2中,我们将研究AaMet和AaFISC蛋白如何被募集到JH靶基因中的保幼激素反应元件。在目标3中,我们将测试AaMet参与血喂养的雌性蚊子中保幼激素和20 E信号之间的串扰的假设。该研究将大大推进我们对蚊子保幼激素分子作用的理解,并为设计专门针对蚊子JH信号通路的新农药提供结构基础。
公共卫生关系:本研究的目的是阐明蚊子保幼激素调节成年雌蚊卵成熟的分子机制。在分子水平上更好地理解激素的作用对于设计新的蚊子杀虫剂具有至关重要的意义,这些杀虫剂可以特异性地阻断保幼激素的作用,从而可能破坏蚊子中由保幼激素调节的所有生物过程。
