🚨🪲🧬🦠 We have a new preprint out!

Insects and microbes are more connected than we often realize. In fact, some insects owe part of their ability to feed on plants to genes they acquired from bacteria millions of years ago.

In this study, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of the bacterial glycoside hydrolase subfamily GH5-40 across leafhoppers. Starting with genome annotation across 24 species and ending with functional enzyme assays, we followed the journey of these genes from their bacterial origins to their current role in insects.

What did we find?

🧬 GH5-40 enzymes are not native to insects. Leafhoppers acquired them from Actinobacteria through an ancient horizontal gene transfer event.

🌿 Rather than remaining as a single borrowed gene, these enzymes expanded repeatedly, evolved new multidomain architectures, and diversified across leafhopper evolution.

💦 Some are highly expressed in the salivary glands, and our experiments show they are active enzymes capable of breaking down plant cell wall polysaccharides, suggesting that leafhoppers secrete them into plants while feeding.

Genetically modified (GM) papayas protect against papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), but papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus (PLDMV) is rising as a threat. Mu-Zhi Yang et al. found no difference in PRSV infection between GM and non-GM plants. Learn more: https://t.co/ziu3TSAHAu
