Transcriptional survey of ovarian bacteriomes in the cereal weevil, Sitophilus oryzae, shows down-regulation of immune effectors at the onset of sexual maturity

M. G. Ferrarini, A. Vallier, E. Dell'Aglio, S. Balmand, C. Vincent-Monegat, M. Debbache, J. Maire, N. Parisot, A. Zaidman-Remy, A. Heddi, R. Rebollo

The paper analyzes ovarian bacteriome transcriptomes in Sitophilus oryzae to show immune effector downregulation at sexual maturity, suggesting a mechanism for endosymbiont transmission.

Efficient compartmentalization in insect bacteriomes protects symbiotic bacteria from host immune system

M. Galvao Ferrarini, E. Dell'Aglio, A. Vallier, S. Balmand, C. Vincent-Monegat, S. Hughes, B. Gillet, N. Parisot, A. Zaidman-Remy, C. Vieira, A. Heddi, R. Rebollo

The paper shows that insect bacteriomes protect endosymbionts from host immune responses by confining them physically, preventing direct contact with immune effectors during challenges.

The non-specific Lipid Transfer Protein (nsLTP) is involved at early and late stages of symbiosis between Alnus glutinosa and Frankia alni.

M. Gasser, N. Alloisio, P. Fournier, S. Balmand, O. Kharrat, J. Tulumello, A. Heddi, P. Da Silva, P. Normand, H. Boubakri, P. Pujic

The paper identifies nsLTP as a gene upregulated in Alnus glutinosa during early symbiosis with Frankia alni, showing its role in nitrogen fixation and localization at root hair and nodule sites.
