A Critical Role for CLSP2 in the Modulation of Antifungal Immune Response in Mosquitoes

English version České info

Entomopathogenic fungi represent a promising class of bio-insecticides for mosquito control. Detailed knowledge of molecular mechanisms governing anti-fungal immune response in mosquitoes is essential. CLSP2 composed of serine protease and lectin domains functions as a modulator of the mosquito immune system during the anti-fungal response. Transcriptome analysis indicated that the Toll pathway and melanization genes are highly up-regulated in CLSP2 RNA interference depleted mosquitoes infected with the fungus Beauveria bassiana. A thioester-containing protein TEP22, a member of α2-macroglobulin family, is involved in the CLSP2-modulated mosquito antifungal defense. Our study has contributed to the understanding of immune-modulating mechanisms in mosquitoes.
