Dual proteomics of Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph infected with the heritable endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii
Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Fanny Schüpfer, Florent François Masson, Alice Marra
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 ...
2021In 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 ...
2018The Role of Lipid Competition for Endosymbiont-Mediated Protection against Parasitoid Wasps in Drosophila
Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Jeremy Keith Herren
Insects commonly harbor facultative bacterial endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma species, that are vertically transmitted from mothers to their offspring. These endosymbiontic bacteria increase their propagation by manipulating host reproduct ...
American Society for Microbiology2016The regulatory isoform rPGRP-LC induces immune resolution via endosomal degradation of receptors
Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer
The innate immune system needs to distinguish between harmful and innocuous stimuli to adapt its activation to the level of threat. How Drosophila mounts differential immune responses to dead and live Gram-negative bacteria using the single peptidoglycan r ...
Nature Publishing Group2016Vertical transmission of a Drosophila endosymbiont via cooption of the yolk transport and internalization machinery
Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Jeremy Keith Herren
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 ...
