Repat33 Acts as a Downstream Component of Eicosanoid Signaling Pathway Mediating Immune Responses of Spodoptera exigua, a Lepidopteran Insect.

ABSTRACT: Repat (=response to pathogen) is proposed for an immune-associated gene family from Spodoptera exigua, a lepidopteran insect. In this gene family, 46 members (Repat1-Repat46) have been identified. They show marked variations in their inducible expression patterns in response to infections by different microbial pathogens. However, their physiological functions in specific immune responses and their interactions with other immune signaling pathways remain unclear. Repat33 is a gene highly inducible by bacterial infections. The objective of this study was to analyze the physiological functions of Repat33 in mediating cellular and humoral immune responses. Results showed that Repat33 was expressed in all developmental stages and induced in immune-asso
