“…The insect 14-3-3 zeta protein plays a key role in many biological processes, for example, it acts as a molecular adaptor and interacts with the N-terminal fragment of Hsp60 in B. mori (Tabunoki et al, 2008). The 14-3-3 zeta protein was involved in immune response against microbial injection in Antheraea pernyi, B. mori, Heliothis virescens, and Spodoptera litura (Bao et al, 2009;Shelby and Popham, 2009;Liu et al, 2013a;Feng et al, 2014). In Helicoverpa armigera, the 14-3-3 zeta may be involved in the regulation of diapause processes (Chen et al, 2010).…”

“…This leads to an excessive production of quinones, which are toxic to the larvae. X. nematophila, Xenorhabdus japonica, Xenorhabdus kozodoii , and Xenorhabdus beddingii cause apoptosis of insect hemocytes (Dunphy and Webster, 1984; Brillard et al, 2001; Cho and Kim, 2004). In the case of X. nematophila , the compound responsible for cytotoxicity has been identified as protein CyA.…”

Bacteria of the Genus Xenorhabdus, a Novel Source of Bioactive Compounds

The genus Xenorhabdus of the family Enterobacteriaceae, are mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema. Although most of the associations are species-specific, a specific Xenorhabdus sp. may infect more than one Steinernema sp. During the Xenorhabdus–Steinernema life cycle, insect larvae are infected and killed, while both mutualists produce bioactive compounds. These compounds act synergistically to ensure reproduction and proliferation of the nematodes and bacteria. A single strain of Xenorhabdus may produce a variety of antibacterial and antifungal compounds, some of which are also active against insects, nematodes, protozoa, and cancer cells. Antimicrobial compounds produced by Xenorhabdus spp. have not been researched to the same extent as other soil bacteria and they may hold the answer to novel antibacterial and antifungal compounds. This review summarizes the bioactive secondary metabolites produced by Xenorhabdus spp. and their application in disease control. Gene regulation and increasing the production of a few of these antimicrobial compounds are discussed. Aspects limiting future development of these novel bioactive compounds are also pointed out.

The sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an important sugarcane pest and mechanical injuries caused through the mandibles can allow pathogen infections. The mandibles of D. saccharalis, as well as other insects, are associated with mandibular glands with a possible function in food intake and mouthparts lubrication; however, the chemical composition of the secretion is poorly known and its elucidation is important for the comprehensive understanding of plant–insect interactions. This study characterized some proteins and volatiles in the mandibular glands of D. saccharalis larvae. MALDI‐TOF/TOF mass spectrometry allowed the identification of 24 predicted proteins within 10 functional classes, including the transport and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides; Posttranslational protein modifications; energy conversion; intracellular trafficking; transcription; translation; and cytoskeleton function. Metabolites identified from GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of hydrocarbons classified as alcohols, ether, alkanes, and esters with differences in their relative abundance. Linolenic acid, the most abundant metabolite found in this gland, when conjugated with amino acids, can be an elicitor in the plant‐herbivore interaction. The results suggest the occurrence of digestive and defensive biochemical components, which may contribute to understanding of the multifunctional roles of the mandibular gland secretion of D. saccharalis larvae during feeding activity.
