Project description:Symbiosis is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, and these inter-species interactions have a massive impact on organisms, shaping the world around us today. The relationship between the partners in microbial symbioses have been described as existing along a parasitism-mutualism continuum, and the dynamics of this continuum are dependent upon numerous genotypic and environmental factors. Theoretical and experimental studies show that vertical transmission (VT) leads to the evolution of mutualistic traits, whereas horizontal transmission (HT) facilitates the emergence of parasitic features. However, these studies focused on phenotypic data, and we know little about underlying molecular changes at the genomic level. Here we show that a dramatic shift in the frequency of genetic variants, coupled with major changes in gene expression, allow an obligate intracellular bacterial symbiont to alter its position in the mutualism-parasitism continuum depending on the mode of between-host transmission. We found that increased virulence in horizontally transmitted chlamydiae residing in amoebae was a result of processes occurring at the infectious stage of the chlamydia’s developmental cycle. Specifically, genes involved in energy production required for extracellular survival as well as the type III secretion system (T3SS) - the symbiont’s primary virulence mechanism - were significantly upregulated. Our results identify the genomic and transcriptomic dynamics sufficient to favor parasitic or mutualistic strategies.

Project description:Huanglongbing, or citrus greening disease, has devastated the citrus industry. It is associated with the gram negative bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) that can be transmitted by Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid. For transmission to occur, CLas must cross the gut of the ACP to circulate through the insect body. The insect gut is the first site of widespread interactions between the CLas and the ACP and forms a barrier to transmission. To investigate the effect of CLas exposure on this dynamic interface, we performed RNAseq and mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze the transcriptome and proteome respectively of dissected ACP guts. We found changes in iron metabolism, insecticide resistance, immune system, and apoptosis. We identified 83 long non-coding RNAs that are responsive to CLas, two of which have no homology to other organisms in NCBI. We also determined that Wolbachia, a symbiont of the ACP, undergoes protein regulation when CLas is present. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed that Wolbachia and CLas can inhabit the same ACP gut cell, but do not co-localize. These data provide a snapshot of the ACP gut under normal and CLas-exposed conditions, and provide tools to better understand the insect vector of the citrus greening pathosystem.

Project description:Begomoviruses, the largest, most damaging and emerging group of plant viruses in the world, infect hundreds of plant species and new virus species of the group are discovered each year. They are transmitted by species of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most devastating begomoviruses worldwide and causes major losses in tomato crops as well as in many more agriculturally important plant species. Different B. tabaci populations vary in their virus transmission abilities; the causes for these differences are attributed among others to genetic diversity of vector populations, as well as to differences in the bacterial symbiont flora of the insects. Here, we performed discovery proteomic analyses in nine whiteflies populations from both B (MEAM1) and Q (MED) species with different TYLCV transmission abilities. The results provide the first comprehensive list of candidate insect and bacterial symbiont (mainly Rickettsia) proteins associated with virus transmission. Efficient vector populations from two different B. tabaci species over-expressed or downregulated expression of proteins belonging to two different molecular pathways.

Project description:Host-derived factors are sucked into midgut of mosquitoes during natural malaria transmission, but their influence on malaria transmission is largely unknown. We reported that mouse complement C3 taken into mosquitoes significantly promoted malaria transmission either in laboratory or in field. This effect was attributed to the reduction of microbiota abundance in mosquito midgut by host-derived C3 through direct lyses the predominant symbiont bacteria Elizabethkingia anopheles. Elizabethkingia anopheles symbiont bacteria were demonstrated to be detrimental to malaria sexual stages in mosquitoes. Strikingly, the promoted effect of host C3 on malaria transmission was confirmed by laboratory mosquitoes membrane-feeding on Plasmodium falciparum. Therefore, we reveal a novel strategy of malaria parasite to utilize host complement C3 to promote its transmission, and the administration of C3 inhibitor would provide us a novel strategy to control malaria transmission.
