When Do Paederus riparius Rove Beetles (Coleoptera : Staphylinidae) Biosynthesize Their Unique Hemolymph Toxin Pederin?

متن کاملفعالیت درماتیتی پدرین و جداسازی باکتری هم‌زیست مرتبط با بیوسنتز آن از سوسک پدروس فوسیپس استان مازندران
Background and purpose: Pederin is a vesicant toxic amide which is found in the haemolymph of the Paederus beetles. It has been considered in studies of cancer treatment with cytotoxicity activity. The present study aimed to review the pederin dermatitis activity from Paederus fuscipes (P. fuscipes) beetles and isolation of symbiotic bacterium associated with pederin biosynthesis. Materials an...
متن کاملEvidence for a symbiosis island involved in horizontal acquisition of pederin biosynthetic capabilities by the bacterial symbiont of Paederus fuscipes beetles.
Pederin belongs to a group of antitumor compounds found in terrestrial beetles and marine sponges. It is used by apparently all members of the rove beetle genera Paederus and Paederidus as a chemical defense against predators. However, a recent analysis of the putative pederin biosynthesis (ped) gene cluster strongly suggests that pederin is produced by bacterial symbionts. We have sequenced an...
متن کاملMycophagous rove beetles highlight diverse mushrooms in the Cretaceous
Agaricomycetes, or mushrooms, are familiar, conspicuous and morphologically diverse Fungi. Most Agaricomycete fruiting bodies are ephemeral, and their fossil record is limited. Here we report diverse gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) and mycophagous rove beetles (Staphylinidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, the latter belonging to Oxyporinae, modern members of which exhibit an obligate associa...
متن کاملIridoid biosynthesis in staphylinid rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Philonthinae).
The biosynthesis of chrysomelidial and plagiodial was studied in the rove beetle subtribe Philonthina (Staphylinidae). Glandular homogenates were found to convert synthetic (2E,6E)-[trideuteromethyl-5,5-(2)H(5)]octa-2,6-diene-1,8-diol (10) into nor-chrysomelidial (14) and nor-plagiodial (13). The overall transformation requires; i) oxidation of the substrate at C(1) and C(8), ii) cyclization of...
