In Silico modeling of voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit to understand insecticide binding simulation in mosquitoes

چکیده
The Voltage Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) is critical for binding of different insecticides and play key role in insecticide resistance. An important mechanism of resistance to DDT and pyrethroids is termed knockdown resistance (kdr), caused by mutations in IIS6 domain of sodium channels. To attain a better management strategy for insecticide resistance and screening of new insecticide molecules, it is important to understand the three-dimensional structure of insecticide-binding domain of VGSC and its molecular interaction with insecticides. We constructed a theoretical model of ion transport domain–II of VGSC from mosquitoes, Culex quinquefasciatus. The stereochemistry of the model shows 91.1% residues are in the most favored region. Docking studies with DDT and deltamethrin indicated that deltamethrin showed interaction with Thr929, Met918, Ile936, Cys933, Leu925, Glu881, Met857 and Gly866 and DDT showed interaction with Ile936, Thr929, Ser878, Phe863, Gln864, Trp861 and Met857. We also predicted that mutation of Thr929 should confer resistance to both DDT and deltamethrin.

Mutations in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel gene (Vssc) have been identified in Aedes aegypti and some have been associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance. Whether these mutations cause resistance, alone or in combination with other alleles, remains unclear, but must be understood if mutations are to become markers for resistance monitoring. We describe High Resolution Melt (HRM) ...
متن کاملbeta 3: an additional auxiliary subunit of the voltage-sensitive sodium channel that modulates channel gating with distinct kinetics.
The voltage-sensitive sodium channel confers electrical excitability on neurons, a fundamental property required for higher processes including cognition. The ion-conducting alpha-subunit of the channel is regulated by two known auxiliary subunits, beta1 and beta2. We have identified rat and human forms of an additional subunit, beta3. It is most closely related to beta1 and is the product of a...

Target site insensitivity resulting from point mutations within the voltage-gated sodium channel of the insect nervous system is known to be of primary importance in the development of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. This study shifts current research paradigms by conducting, for the first time, a global analysis of all the naturally occurring mutations, both nonsynonymous and synonymous...

A homology model of the housefly voltage-gated sodium channel was developed to predict the location of binding sites for the insecticides fenvalerate, a synthetic pyrethroid, and DDT an early generation organochlorine. The model successfully addresses the state-dependent affinity of pyrethroid insecticides, their mechanism of action and the role of mutations in the channel that are known to con...
