Abstract: A Helicoverpa armigera population was collected from Shandong province, China. After 15 generations of selection in the laboratory, the H. armigera strain developed more than 20-fold resistance to spinosad. At LD50 level, no significant cross-resistance was found between spinosad and chlorpyrifos, methomyl, avermectin and chlorfenapyr except for fenvalerate with a low cross-resistance of 2.4-fold. However, LD99 values of fenvalerate against the parental and resistant strains were not different significantly. After inhibitors were used, spinosad resistance could be partially suppressed by piperonylbutoxide (PBO) and triphenylphosphate (TPP), but not by diethylmaleate (DEM). Activities of p-nitroanisole O-demethylase (ODM) developed to 8.26-fold compared with the parental strain, but no obvious changes were found in activities of carboxyl esterase (CarE) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). The results indicated that resistance to spinosad in the cotton bollworm might be associated with an increase in cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

HOUSEFLY , *CYTOCHROME P-450 , *INSECTICIDES - Abstract
Abstract: We investigated the molecular basis of resistance in a strain of house fly (BJD) from Beijing, China. This strain showed 567-fold resistance to commonly used deltamethrin. Flies were 64-fold resistant to deltamethrin synergized by piperonyl butoxide (PBO). The 5′-flanking sequence of the cytochrome P450 gene CYP6D1 in BJD strain had a 15-bp insert as in the LPR strain. Two mutations (kdr, super-kdr) in the voltage sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) were also detected in the BJD strain. Our results showed that a combination of resistance alleles for CYP6D1 and VSSC existed in deltamethrin resistant house flies in China. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The oriental tobacco budworm Helicoverpa assulta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a specialist pest that may cause serious damages to important crops such as chili pepper and tobacco. Various man-made insecticides have been applied to control the infestation of this pest. To understand how this pest copes with insecticides, it is required to identify key players involved in insecticide transformation. In this study, a P450 gene of CYP6B subfamily was identified in the oriental tobacco budworm, and its expression pattern was revealed. Moreover, the activities of HassCYP6B6 against 12 insecticides were explored using recombinant enzymes produced in the facile Escherichia coli. Data from metabolic experiments showed that HassCYP6B6 was able to metabolize conventional insecticides including organophosporates (diazinon, malathion, phoxim), carbamate propoxur, and pyrethroid esfenvalerate, while no significant metabolism was observed towards new-type pesticides such as neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, imidacloprid), diamides (chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole), macrocyclic lactone (emamectin benzoate, ivermectin), and metaflumizone. Structures of metabolites were proposed based on mass spectrometry analyses. The results demonstrate that HassCYP6B6 plays important roles in the transformation of multiple insecticides via substrate-dependent catalytic mechanisms including dehydrogenation, hydroxylation and oxidative desulfurization. The findings have important applied implications for the usage of insecticides. [Display omitted] • A new P450 gene (HassCYP6B6) is identified in Helicoverpa assulta. • The recombinant HassCYP6B6 protein is successfully produced in Escherichia coli. • HassCYP6B6 enzyme is able to metabolize multiple insecticides. • Hydroxylation and desulfuration are common pathways in HassCYP6B6 catalyzed insecticide metabolism. • A unique alkyl dehydrogenated metabolite of propoxur is firstly discovered.

Helicoverpa armigera and H. assulta are two of the few insects that can feed on hot pepper fruits. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin (i.e. , capsaicinoids) are the principal pungent compounds in hot peppers. To explore possible molecular mechanisms of adaptation that allow these two species to consume capsaicinoids, the capacity of the three detoxification tissues (fat body, midgut, and Malpighian tubule) of the two pests, to metabolically degrade capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, was compared. The results showed that capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were metabolized by crude enzyme preparations from all three tissues of the two pests. Five metabolites of capsaicin, and five metabolites of dihydrocapsaicin were identified. Tissue and species differences in the degree of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin metabolism were observed. The specialist H. assulta had an overall greater capacity to degrade the capsaicinoids compared to the generalist H. armigera. Further, the midgut was the most significant contributor to capsaicinoid metabolism. The notably high specific activity in Malpighian tubules of H. armigera also further highlights the significance of this organ in xenobiotic detoxification. Alkyl hydroxylation and dehydrogenation were the main pathways for the oxidative biotransformation of both capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin by cytochrome P450s. This study provides evidence that enhanced metabolic decomposition of capsaicinoids may be an adaptation explaining dietary preferences for Capsicum fruits by these two pests. Unlabelled Image • Helicoverpa assulta and H. armigera eat peppers, but mechanisms that allow these pests to tolerate capsaicinoids are unknown. • Species- and tissue-selective differences in capsaicinoid degradation capacity were observed. • The midgut was the most significant contributor in capsaicinoid metabolism for both pests. • Helicoverpa assulta exhibited greater total metabolic capacity than H. armigera. • Enhanced capsaicinoid metabolism may contribute to reported fitness advantages for the specialist H. assulta.

The cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) is a worldwide agricultural pest that infests many important crops. Pyrethroids targeting the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) have been long used in the control of the cotton bollworm. Two amino acid substitutions (D1561V and E1565G) in H. armigera VGSC (HaVGSC) and the presence of a chimeric P450 gene (CYP337B3) have been documented to be associated with pyrethroid resistance. To understand the current occurrence of kdr mutations and the CYP337B3 gene in Chinese H. armigera populations, high-throughput amplicon sequencing was adopted to detect potential nucleotide variations in three fragments of the VGSC gene that cover 10 reported knockdown resistance (kdr) sites in insects, and gene-specific PCR was performed to examine the presence of CYP337B3 gene in H. armigera samples collected across China. The nucleotide variation analysis revealed a wealth of nucleotide variations in not only exons but also introns in the VGSC gene in Chinese H. armigera populations. However, neither previously reported kdr -conferring amino acid replacements nor other non-synonymous mutations were observed in a total of 1439 examined individuals. Population genetic analysis suggested that the H. armigera population in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province (JNC) had a moderate genetic differentiation from other populations, while no significant divergence was observed in other populations in northern and northwestern China. The CYP337B3 was present in all the examined individuals, indicating that CYP337B3 is extensively fixed in H. armigera populations across China. These results support that point mutations in VGSC are not a major factor involved in the current pyrethroid resistance in H. armigera. Instead, CYP337B3 plays a prevalent role in the development of resistance to pyrethroids in H. armigera. [Display omitted] • Amplicon sequencing is used to detect knockdown resistance (kdr) mutation in H. armigera. • Extensive nucleotide variations are observed in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene. • Neither the reported kdr mutations nor other non-synonymous variations are identified in VGSC. • The CYP337B3 gene is commonly fixed in field populations of H. armigera across China. • A low overall genetic differentiation is found among different H. armigera populations.

Capsaicin (8-methyl- N -vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the most abundant capsaicinoids found in hot peppers (Capsicum annum and Capsicum frutescens). It has been well documented that capsaicin plays an important role in the defense against the attack of herbivores or pathogens on Capsicum plants. A few insect herbivores such as Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa assulta have been recorded to be capable of feeding on hot pepper fruits, suggesting that these insects evolve mechanisms against the toxicity of capsaicin. Although cytochrome P450-meidated detoxification is considered to be an important mechanism by which cotton bollworms cope with capsaicin, experimental evidence is lacking. In this study, we compared the capacity of four H. armigera P450s (CYP6B6, CYP9A12, CYP9A14 and CYP9A17) in capsaicin metabolism, and the capsaicin metabolites were screened and tentatively identified by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). HPLC analyses showed that depletion rates of capsaicin were 21.9 ± 0.1, 11.9 ± 1.5, 16.3 ± 1.4 and 14.8 ± 0.2 min−1 for CYP6B6, CYP9A12, CYP9A14 and CYP9A17 respectively. The transformation of capsaicin was inhibited by the P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide. A total of seven products were detected, and hydroxylation (aromatic and aliphatic) and dehydrogenation were found to be two main pathways in capsaicin metabolism. In addition, capsaicin metabolism was enzyme selective: M1 (ω-hydroxylated N-macrocyclic metabolite) and M3 (ω-hydroxylated metabolite) were uniquely detected in the CYP6B6 catalytic reaction, while M4 (ω-n hydroxylated capsaicin), M5 (diene of capsaicin) and M6 (doubly oxidized metabolite of dehydrogenated capsaicin) were only detectable in CYP9A metabolisms. A capsaicin dimer (5, 5′-dicapsaicin) was found to be the major metabolite of CYP9A reactions, but the minor product produced by CYP6B6. An overall more similar behavior in capsaicin metabolism was observed among CYP9As than between CYP6B6 and CYP9As. Our data demonstrate that CYP6B6 and CYP9As have a potent capability to transform capsaicin, and individual P450 produce unique metabolite profile. These findings help us to understand the molecular basis of capsaicin adaptation in H. armigera. Unlabelled Image • Capsaicin can be efficiently metabolized by HaCYP6B6 and HaCYP9A. • Both HaCYP6B6 and HaCYP9A generate multiple metabolites. • Metabolite profiles are enzyme-dependent in P450- mediated capsaicin metabolism. • Hydroxylation and dehydrogenation are two major pathways in capsaicin biotransformation. • More similar behavior occurs among CYP9As than between CYP6B and CYP9A.

The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera , is a polyphagous pest that has a strong capacity to evolve resistance against various classes of insecticides. Cytochrome P450 enzymes have been suspected involved in pyrethroid metabolism and resistance in this pest. However, how many and which P450s are involved in pyrethroid metabolism is largely unknown. In this study, CYP6B6 and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (HaCPR) from H. armigera were successfully co-expressed in Escherichia coli . Incubation of esfenvalerate with the recombinant CYP6B6-HaCPR monooxygenase complex revealed that CYP6B6 was able to transform esfenvalerate into 4′-hydroxy fenvalerate. Kcat and Km values for the formation of 4′-hydroxyfenvalerate by the E. coli -produced CYP6B6 were determined to be 1.65 ± 0.11 min − 1 and 4.10 ± 0.84 μM respectively. Our results demonstrate that CYP6B6 has the ability to hydroxylate esfenvalerate, thus plays a role in fenvalerate detoxification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The house fly (Musca domestica L.) (Diptera: Muscidae) is a global vector that can transmit >250 human and animal diseases. The control of house flies has heavily relied on the application of various chemical insecticides. The carbamate insecticide propoxur has been widely used for the control of house flies, and resistance to propoxur has been documented in many house fly populations worldwide. Previous studies have identified several propoxur resistance-conferring mutations in the target protein acetylcholinesterase; however, the molecular basis for metabolic resistance to propoxur remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the involvement of CYP6G4, a cytochrome P450 overexpressed in many insecticide resistant populations of Musca domestica , in propoxur metabolism and resistance by using combined approaches of recombinant protein-based insecticide metabolism and the Drosophila GAL4/UAS transgenic system. The recombinant CYP6G4 and its redox partners (NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b 5) were functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. Metabolism experiments showed that CYP6G4 was able to transform propoxur with a turnover rate of around 0.79 min−1. Six metabolites were putatively identified, suggesting that CYP6G4 could metabolize propoxur via hydroxylation, O-depropylation and N -demethylation. Moreover, bioassay results showed that ectopic overexpression of CYP6G4 in fruit flies significantly increased their tolerance to propoxur. Our in vivo and in vitro data convincingly demonstrate that CYP6G4 contributes to propoxur metabolism and resistance. [Display omitted] • The recombinant CYP6G4 and its redox partners were successfully produced in Escherichia coli • The CYP6G4 enzyme is able to metabolize propoxur and generate multiple metabolites • Hydroxylation and O-depropylation are two major pathways in propoxur biotransformation • Ectopic overexpression of CYP6G4 in fruit flies increases tolerance to propoxur [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases-mediated detoxification is a major mechanism of pyrethroid resistance in house flies. Constitutive overexpression of P450 genes is the main cause for this type of insecticide resistance. In this study, three new P450 genes (CYP6A40, CYP6D8 and CYP6G4) over-expressed in a pyrethroid resistance strain (BJD) were identified. Developmental expression analysis showed that CYP6A40 and CYP6D8 were expressed in all life stages, while CYP6G4 was not transcribed in eggs or larvae. Permethrin resistance and expression level of cytochrome P450s in six house fly populations (the BJD strain and five field-derived house fly populations collected across China) were determined. Compared with the susceptible TJS strain, all the six populations exhibited different levels of resistance to permethrin. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) reduced permethrin resistance level up to 109-fold, indicating that cytochrome P450-mediated detoxification is responsible for pyrethroid resistance in Chinese house flies. Significant overexpression of more than one of the eight P450 genes (CYP6A5v1, CYP6A5v2, CYP6A36, CYP6A40, CYP6D1, CYP6D3, CYP6D8 and CYP6G4) in the six pyrethroid resistant house fly populations was observed. Differential expression patterns of P450s over-represented in the resistance populations suggested evolutionary plasticity of P450-mediated pyrethroid resistance. CYP6G4 and CYP6D1, commonly over-expressed in resistant populations, were hypothesized to be the important P450s contributing to pyrethroid resistance of Chinese house flies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Insecticides have been extensively used for house fly control in China, with dichlorvos and deltamethrin being widely used. Knowledge about the current status of insecticide resistance and the underlying genetic changes is crucial for developing effective fly control strategies. The susceptibility to dichlorvos and deltamethrin, and the frequencies of genetic mutations involved in insecticide resistance were studied in five field populations of the house fly collected across China. Bioassay results show that flies exhibit 14- to 28-fold resistance to dichlorvos and 41- to 94-fold resistance to deltamethrin, indicating that dichlorvos and deltamethrin resistance are common in house fly populations in China. Molecular analysis reveals that flies from the five various locations carry resistance alleles at multiple loci and have diverse allelic types, different relative frequencies and combinations of each allele. Four non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (i.e. V260L, G342A/V, F407Y) in acetylcholinesterase (Ace) and two mutations (W251L/S) in a carboxylesterase (MdαE7) were commonly present in the field house flies. The L1014H rather than L1014F mutation in the voltage sensitive sodium channel gene (Vssc) was widely distributed in Chinese house flies. CYP6D1v1, which confers pyrethroid resistance, was found in all the five tested populations in China, although its frequency in house fly from Shandong province was very low. Our results suggest that resistance monitoring and management of house flies should be customized for a given location. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Cytochrome P450s play a crucial role in insect adaptation to their host plants and in insecticide resistance through metabolic detoxification. The efficacy of P450 mediated detoxification depends on the levels of P450 transcript which may change after exposure to xenobiotics. In this study, expression response of nine cytochrome P450 genes in Helicoverpa armigera, belonging to CYP6 and CYP9 families, were examined by using quantitative real-time PCR method. Results showed that these cytochrome P450 genes were differentially affected by plant chemicals and synthetic compounds, and displayed tissue-, concentration- and inducer-dependent response. Phenobarbital acted as a general inducer for cytochrome P450s, whereas gossypol specifically increased the expression of CYP6AE14. Xanthotoxin showed moderate induction effect on several of the nine genes. Deltamethrin displayed significantly both induction and suppression impact on the expression of cytochrome P450s. These findings provide clues for further elucidating the function and regulation mechanism of these cytochrome P450 genes in H. armigera, a pest responsible for severe losses in many crops.

The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera , is a polyphagous pest threatening many economically important crops worldwide. Until recently, synthetic pyrethroids remain in wide use for controlling pest insects including the cotton bollworm. Understanding the metabolic mechanism of pyrethroids in a given pest can provide significant implication for a smart choice of insecticides, and such information is useful for the development of novel selective and safe insecticides. In this study, we used complexes of recombinant H. armigera cytochrome P450 CYP9A and NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase to investigate the capacity of three CYP9A paralogs in the transformation of seven structurally different pyrethroids by metabolism assays. The results showed that the three paralogous CYP9As were able to metabolize multiple pyrethroids. Interestingly, all the three CYP9As transformed pyrethrin-resembling pyrethroids (e.g. bioallethrin) more efficiently than the heavily modified ones (e.g. bifenthrin). These findings suggest that herbivorous insects can cope with synthetic insecticides using their physiological systems that initially evolved to survive exposure to the defensive chemicals in their host plants, adding support to the pre-adaptation hypothesis. [Display omitted] • CYP9As have the capacity of metabolizing pyrethroids with varying chemical modifications. • CYP9As possess much higher activity towards pyrethrin-resembling bioallethrin than the heavily modified bifenthrin. • Herbivorous insects can cope with synthetic insecticides using long-term evolved physiological systems.
