Protein subcellular relocalization and function of duplicated flagellar calcium binding protein genes in honey bee trypanosomatid parasite

This study investigates the subcellular localization and function of duplicated FCaBP genes in L. passim, showing their role in flagellar structure and function through interactions with the BBSome complex.

Aspartyl protease in the secretome of honey bee trypanosomatid parasite is essential for the efficient infection of host

The paper identifies the exoproteome of the honey bee trypanosomatid parasite Lotmaria passim and shows that an aspartyl protease is essential for efficient infection of the host.

Evolutionary history of metazoan TMEM16 family

This study investigates the evolutionary history of the TMEM16 family in metazoans, identifying subfamily origins, gene duplications, and functional adaptations through genomic analysis.

DWV 3C protease uncovers the diverse catalytic triad in insect RNA viruses

This study characterizes the structure and function of DWV 3C protease, revealing a diverse catalytic triad among insect RNA viruses and potential inhibitors for controlling DWV infection.

DWV infection and replication at the early stage in vitro using honey bee pupal cells

This study establishes an in vitro system using honey bee pupal cells to study DWV infection and replication, identifying key factors and potential inhibitors.

Honey bee suppresses the parasitic mite Vitellogenin by antimicrobial peptide

This study investigates the interaction between honey bees, the mite T. mercedesae, and DWV, showing that honey bee antimicrobial peptides suppress mite reproduction.

Honey bee trypanosomatid parasite dynamically changes the transcriptome during the infection of honey bee and modifies the host physiology

This study examines how the honey bee parasite Lotmaria passim alters its transcriptome during infection and how the host honey bee responds genetically and physiologically.

Honey bee parasitic mite contains the sensory organ expressing ionotropic receptors with conserved functions

The paper identifies sensory organs and ionotropic receptors in honey bee parasitic mites, showing functional conservation with Drosophila.

Gene knock out of honey bee trypanosomatid parasite, Lotmaria passim, by CRISPR/Cas9 system

The paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout genes in the honey bee parasite L. passim and expresses fluorescent markers to study parasite biology.

Global analysis of the RpaB regulon based on the positional distribution of HLR1 sequences and comparative differential RNA-Seq data

This paper identifies the RpaB regulon in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by analyzing HLR1 motif positioning and RNA-Seq data, revealing 150+ regulated genes with activation or repression based on HLR1-TSS distance.
