Molecular characterization of prophenoloxidase-1 (PPO1) and the inhibitory effect of kojic acid on phenoloxidase (PO) activity and on the development ofZeugodacus tau(Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Abstract: Phenoloxidase (PO) plays a key role in melanin biosynthesis during insect development. Here, we isolated the 2310-bp full-length cDNA of PPO1 from Zeugodacus tau, a destructive horticultural pest. qRT-polymerase chain reaction showed that the ZtPPO1 transcripts were highly expressed during larval-prepupal transition and in the haemolymph. When the larvae were fed a 1.66% kojic acid (KA)-containing diet, the levels of the ZtPPO1 transcripts significantly increased by 2.79- and 3.39-fold in the whole larvae and … Show more

“…They have been implicated in several processes of insect physiology such as melanization, cuticular hardening, pathogen encapsulation, wound healing, and overall immunity (Binggeli, Neyen, Poidevin, & Lemaitre, 2014). Several studies have demonstrated that kojic acid‐based inhibition of PPOs is associated with a significant decrease in insect fitness and development (Alverson, 2003; Bai et al., 2014; Zhang, Luo, et al., 2019). Because PPOs play key roles in the defensive system of insects, they are an attractive target to implement insect control strategies.…”

“…The formation of melanin was related to contents of substances including phenylalanine, tyrosine, DOPA, N-acetyl-dopamine (NADA), N-beta-alanyl-dopamine (NBAD) Sekine et al, 2011) and so on. These substances were related to some enzymes including phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) (Kwok et al, 1985;Zhang, 2004;Infanger et al, 2004), TH (Futahashi et al, 2008), DDC(Fang et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2002;Paskewitz et al, 2008;Giegling et al, 2008;Bertoldi et al, 2009;Ferguson et al, 2011;Hodges et al, 2012), PO (Sachdev et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018a), Phenoloxidase(laccase2) (Yatsu et al, 2009;Futahashi et al, 2010), NBAD synthetase (ebony) (Hovemann et al, 1998;Wittkopp et al, 2002;Takahashi et al, 2008;Takahashi et al, 2011;Ferguson et al, 2011), NBAD hydrolase (tan) (Futahashi et al, 2010;Wagner et al, 2010;Du et al, 2018), dopachrome conversion enzyme family (yellow) Futahashi et al, 2008;Ferguson et al, 2011;Futahashi et al, 2012), aspartate decarboxylase (ADC) (Arakane et al, 2009;Dai et al, 2015) and arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) (Hintermann et al, 1996;Tsugehara et al, 2007;Zhan et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2018b).
