英文摘要 | Simple Summary The Mexican bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus is a major insect pest of stored beans. We have previously reported that the PF2 lectin, which is a protein found in the desert wild legume Olneya tesota (Palo Fierro), is toxic to Z. subfasciatus by inhibiting its early larval development. The use of proteomic means allowed us to identify PF2 targets in the midgut of Z. subfasciatus larvae. However, efforts to completely elucidate the insecticidal mechanism of PF2, as well as novel potential targets for insecticidal compounds, have been hindered by the lack of available genomic and proteomic information of non-model insects. Therefore, in this work we massively sequenced and analyzed the transcripts expressed in the larval stage of Z. subfasciatus, which is the first transcriptome reported for this insect. A total of 29,029 transcript sequences were identified, of which 30 sequences encode putative targets of PF2. The functional characteristics and biochemical, biological, or molecular roles for 15,124 sequences were established by means of bioinformatics tools. This study significantly increased the available genetic resources for Zabrotes and related insect species and will be helpful for any kind of future study that requires information on genes or protein sequences. The available genomic and proteomic information of non-model organisms is often underrepresented in public databases hindering their study at molecular, cellular, and physiological levels. Information on Zabrotes subfasciatus (Mexican bean weevil) is poorly represented in databases, yet it is a major pest of common beans. We report the transcriptome of Z. subfasciatus larvae; transcripts were sequenced using an Illumina RNA-Seq technology and assembled de novo identifying 29,029 unigenes with an average size of 1168 bp and an N50 value of 2196 bp. About 15,124 unigenes (52%) were functionally annotated and categorized. Further analysis revealed 30 unigene sequences encoding putative targets of the insecticidal PF2 lectin. The complete deduced amino acid sequences of eight selected proteins potentially related to insecticidal mechanism of Palo Fierro 2 (PF2) were used for predicting probable N-glycosylation sites and analyzing phylogenetic relationships with insect sequences. This work provides a dramatic increase in the genetic resources available for Coleopterans and set the basis for developing future studies on biological aspects and potential control strategies for Z. subfasciatus. |
