Sensing, Signaling, and Secretion: A Review and Analysis of Systems for Regulating Host Interaction in Wolbachia

Abstract: Wolbachia (Anaplasmataceae) is an endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes that resides within host cells and is well known for manipulating host biology to facilitate transmission via the female germline. The effects Wolbachia has on host physiology, combined with reproductive manipulations, make this bacterium a promising candidate for use in biological- and vector-control. While it is becoming increasingly clear that Wolbachia’s effects on host biology are numerous and vary according to the host and the env… Show more

“…It may be that fast evolving genomic regions, such as those associated with mobile elements, contribute to the ability of some strains to rapidly adapt to new hosts. As genomic data accumulate, systematic analyses of genomic variation affecting traits involved in the Wolbachia / host interactions, such as sensing, signalling and secretion may help resolve this issue (Lindsey, 2020). Wolbachia variations affecting host tissue niche tropism and localisation may also be at play.…”

“…This transmission/virulence trade-off often leads to an optimal density, which can be controlled by host or bacterial determinants. In insect hosts, the main molecular mechanisms that determine the abundance and composition of symbionts are associated with immune response (Lemaitre and Hoffmann, 2007; Zug and Hammerstein, 2015) or resource allocation (Kiers et al ., 2003), and microbial communities can in turn select resistance mechanisms against host effectors or trigger antagonist regulators of the host immunity (Vallet-Gely et al , 2008; Lindsey, 2020).…”

“…At the molecular level, the mechanisms of interaction between partners remain unclear. Genome sequencing of the Wolbachia wasp Trichogramma pretiosum did not reveal the specific genes responsible for the induction of thelytoky (Lindsey, Werren, Richards and Stouthamer, 2016). A comparative analysis of several genomes (29 genomes) of Wolbachia was also not informative in this regard (Lindsey, 2020).…”
