Project description:Wolbachia is the most widespread endosymbiotic bacterium that manipulates reproduction of its arthropod hosts to enhance its own spread throughout host populations. Infection with Wolbachia causes complete parthenogenetic reproduction in many Hymenoptera, producing only female offspring. The mechanism of such reproductive manipulation by Wolbachia has been extensively studied. However, the effects of Wolbachia symbiosis on behavioral traits of the hosts are scarcely investigated. The parasitoid wasp Asobara japonica is an ideal insect to investigate this because symbiotic and aposymbiotic strains are available: Wolbachia-infected Tokyo (TK) and noninfected Iriomote (IR) strains originally collected on the main island and southwest islands of Japan, respectively. We compared the oviposition behaviors of the two strains and found that TK strain females parasitized Drosophila melanogaster larvae more actively than the IR strain, especially during the first two days after eclosion. Removing Wolbachia from the TK strain wasps by treatment with tetracycline or rifampicin decreased their parasitism activity to the level of the IR strain. Morphological and behavioral analyses of both strain wasps showed that Wolbachia endosymbionts do not affect development of the host female reproductive tract and eggs, but do enhance host-searching ability of female wasps. These results suggest the possibility that Wolbachia endosymbionts may promote their diffusion and persistence in the host A. japonica population not only at least partly by parthenogenesis but also by enhancement of oviposition frequency of the host females.

Project description:Insects mount an innate immune response to defend against the foreign invading microorganisms and parasites. To be successful parasites, endoparasitoid wasps need to be able to suppress the immune responses of their hosts. This allows the wasp eggs to hatch and the larvae to develop inside the host. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the interaction between wasp and its host remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified the reprolysin type metalloprotease venom component MmV189, which was designated venom regulatory factor-1 (VRF1). VRF1 plays a critical role in the interaction between the wasp Microplitis mediator and its lepidopteran host Helicoverpa armigera (the cotton bollworm). Proteomics analysis based on isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) revealed that at least twelve wasp venom proteins were released into the host hemolymph, causing significant changes in 511 host proteins at 24 h post parasitization. Taking an approach of integrated transcriptome and proteome analysis, we identified 313 putative proteins from the wasp venom reservoirs, 25 of which belong to the family of metalloproteases. Proenzyme of VRF1 was firstly cleaved in the host hemolymph after parasitization and then entered the hemocytes. Additionally, depletion of VRF1 in M. mediator by dsRNA-mediated knockdown significantly reduced the percentage of cocoon formation. Furthermore, we showed possible binding of VRF1 to Dorsal, a H. armigera nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), using yeast two-hybrid and pull-down assays, and confirmed the cleavage of Dorsal by VRF1. Moreover, we found that VRF1 acts as a protease to process Dorsal in the host hemocytes and suppress the induction of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Taken together, our findings identify a novel mechanism by which a component of endoparasitoid wasp venom interferes with host immune signaling cascades.
