Differentially expressed proteins wereassociated withtwo color morphs of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri

ABSTRACT: Diaphorina citriis a vector of ‘CandidatusLiberibacter asiaticus,’(CLas), associated with citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in citrus. D. citriexhibits two group three different color morph variants, blueand non-blue (includes gray and yellow). Blue morphs have a greater capacity for long-distance flight while has lower efficiency in CLas transmission as compared to non-blue morphswhich influences disease epidemiology. In this study, wecompare the protein profilesof two-color morphsand evaluate the effect of CLas infection on abundance of pre-identified proteins in each color morphs. Our results showed that blue morphs have higher abundance of the immunity-associated proteins, while their abundance were upregulated dramatically in the non-blue morphcompared to blue morphin result of CLas infection. This observation proposes blue morph has higher immunity and CLas trigger the immunity in both morph while in non-blue’s response is late and non-effective.Further, challenging both color morphs byentomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, were showed significantly lower mortality in blue morph vs non-blue. Also, to test the effect of delayed response in CLas acquisition, we did CLas acquisition assay after priming immunity by feeding heat-killed Liberibacter crescens to both color-morphs. The obtained results were showed that priming immunity in non-blue morph can significantly decrease CLas acquisition as close as the level of CLas acquisition in blue morph. Taking all these in account propose that higher immunity in blue morph suppress CLas acquisition in a way that CLas acts as a pathogenand costly forACP. While in non-blue ACP, CLas triggers the immunity but the delayed immunity is not effective to block CLas from acquisition.

Diaphorina citri is a vector of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), associated with citrus greening disease. D. citri exhibit at least two color morphotypes, blue and non-blue, the latter including gray and yellow morphs. Blue morphs have a greater capacity for long-distance flight and transmit CLas less efficiently as compared to non-blue morphs. Differences in physiology and immunity between color morphs of the insect vector may influenc ...[more]

Project description:Citrus greening disease, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB), is the most serious disease of citrus plants. It is associated with the Gram-negative bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), which is transmitted between host plants by the hemipteran insect vector Diaphorina citri in a circulative, propagative manner involving specific interactions with various insect tissues, including the hemolymph, fluid that occupies the body cavity akin to insect blood. High resolution quantitative mass spectrometry was performed to investigate the effect of CLas exposure on D. citri hemolymph at the proteome level. In contrast to the broad proteome effects on hundreds of proteins and a diverse array of metabolic pathways previously reported in gut and whole insect proteome analyses, the effect of CLas on the hemolymph was observed to be highly specific, restricted to key immunity and metabolism pathways, and lower in magnitude than that previously observed in the whole insect body and gut. Vitellogenins were abundantly expressed and CLas-responsive. Gene-specific RNA expression analysis suggests that these proteins are expressed in both male and female insects, and may have roles outside of reproductive vitellogenesis. Proteins for fatty acid synthesis were found to be up-regulated, along with metabolic proteins associated with energy production, supported at the organismal level by the previously published observation that D. citri individuals experience a higher level of hunger when reared on CLas-infected plants. Prediction of post-translational modifications identified hemolymph proteins with phosphorylation and acetylation upon CLas exposure. Proteins derived from the three most prominent bacterial endosymbionts of the psyllid were also detected in the hemolymph, and several of these have predicted secretion signals. A DNAK protein, the bacterial HSP70, detected in the hemolymph expressed from Wolbachia pipientis was predicted to encode a eukaryotic nuclear localization signal. Taken together, these data show specific changes to immunity and metabolism in D. citri hemolymph involving host and endosymbiont proteins. These data provide a novel context for proteomic changes seen in other D. citri tissues in response to CLas and align with organismal data on the effects of CLas on D. citri metabolism and reproduction.
