项目摘要

Project Summary Parasitic nematodes have long harmed crops, pets, livestock, and humans. Wide usage of current broad-spectrum anthelmintics as preventive medicine has led to emerging nematode resistance against these compounds in many human populations, prompting the exploration of compounds with novel genetic targets. Our discovery that an insect pheromone can act both as an attractant as well as an anthelmintic represents a unique opportunity to define a novel drug target. Our proposal is to identify the mode-of-action for this pheromone using a lipid- binding protein as the genetic entry point. We propose three independent strategies involving candidate gene expression and functional analysis, along with forward genetic screens to identify the pheromone receptor and other components of the signaling pathway.

项目摘要寄生线虫长期伤害了农作物，宠物，牲畜和人类。宽的当前广谱驱虫药作为预防医学导致的使用在许多人类中，新兴的线虫抵抗对这些化合物种群，促使人们探索具有新型遗传靶标的化合物。我们发现，昆虫信息素既可以充当吸引者，又可以驱虫是定义新型药物目标的独特机会。我们的建议是使用脂质 - 结合蛋白作为遗传入口点。我们建议三个独立涉及候选基因表达和功能分析的策略使用正向遗传筛选，以鉴定信息素受体和其他信号通路的组件。
