For the experiments that will be carried out in this project, series of technological methods will be used, including peptide purification and identification, gene cloning and recombinant expression, biological activity assay, and protein structural analysis. Based on the composition of small immunosuppressive peptides from the venom of a pupal stage endoparasitoid, Pteromalus puparum, of its host Peris rapae, the genes encoding small immunosuppressive peptides will be first screened and cloned. Second, the transcripts and expression levels of different peptide genes in different tissues and developmental stages of the parasitoid will be investigated. Third, the selective small peptides will be expressed in yeast system (or be chemically synthesized) and the biological functions of their recombinant or synthesized products will be assayed. Forth, the structures of the small peptides will be analyzed and the relationship between structure and function will also be studied. Fifth, the small peptides will be recombinantly expressed with a fusion protein, Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA), and the influences of the fusion peptides on the physiologicail aspects of host and no-host insects will be determined. Finally, the structural and functional compositions of small immunosuppressive peptides from parasitoid venom and the application prospects of these peptides will be considered. These results obtained can provide the new theories and methods to further reveal the composition and function of parasitoid venom and also the new mechanism of the venom components regulating the host innate immune responses. On the other hand, these results also can establish the platform for the developing and screening of immunosuppressive agents, which will be a new kind of pesticides targeting to the innate immune system of pest insects. At the same time, these results will also contribute to the newly biological control strategies, based on the immunosuppression of pest immune responses. In the end, the completing of this project will supply the newly pest control strategies and approaches for the production and sustainable development of the green agriculture in China.
