Utilize Host Actin for Efficient Maternal Transmission in

English version České info

The world’s most common intracellular infection, Wolbachia pipientis, infects 40% of insect species and is currently used to prevent transmission of Dengue by mosquitoes. The bacterium targets the germline of insects, where it is faithfully transmitted to the developing oocyte and the next generation. Here we identify host cytoskeletal proteins required by Wolbachia in order to be efficiently transmitted between Drosophila melanogaster generations. We show that after only two generations in a phenotypically wild type, heterozygous mutant fly, Wolbachia infections are cleared or reduced in titer. Characterization of the mutants suggests that Wolbachia is sensitive to the regulation of actin in the ovary and that actin may be used by Wolbachia to both target and proliferate within host tissues and to be faithfully, maternally transmitted.
