Vertical transmission of a Drosophila endosymbiont via cooption of the yolk transport and internalization machinery

Bruno Lemaitre, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Jeremy Keith Herren, Fanny Schüpfer

Spiroplasma is a diverse bacterial clade that includes many vertically transmitted insect endosymbionts, including Spiroplasma poulsonii, a natural endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster. These bacteria persist in the hemolymph of their adult host and exh ...

Disproportionate investment in Spiralin B production limits in-host growth and favors the vertical transmission of Spiroplasma insect endosymbionts

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson, Samuel Rommelaere, Jean Philippe Boquete, Fanny Schüpfer

Insects frequently harbor endosymbionts, which are bacteria housed within host tissues. These associations are stably maintained over evolutionary timescales through vertical transmission of endosymbionts from host mothers to their offspring. Some endosymb ...

In Vitro Culture of the Insect Endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii Highlights Bacterial Genes Involved in Host-Symbiont Interaction

Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer, Florent François Masson, Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez

Endosymbiotic bacteria associated with eukaryotic hosts are omnipresent in nature, particularly in insects. Studying the bacterial side of host-symbiont interactions is, however, often limited by the unculturability and genetic intractability of the symbio ...

Dual proteomics of Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph infected with the heritable endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson, Samuel Rommelaere, Alice Marra, Fanny Schüpfer

Insects are frequently infected with heritable bacterial endosymbionts. Endosymbionts have a dramatic impact on their host physiology and evolution. Their tissue distribution is variable with some species being housed intracellularly, some extracellularly ...

An updated proteomic analysis of Drosophila haemolymph after bacterial infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Fanny Schüpfer

Using an in-depth Mass Spectrometry-based proteomics approach, we provide a comprehensive characterization of the hemolymphatic proteome of adult flies upon bacterial infection. We detected and quantified changes in abundance of several known immune regula ...
