摘要: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest and most diverse transmembrane receptor family in the cell. They are involved in regulating a wide range of biological processes, including behavior, reproduction, and development. However, GPCRs have not yet been identified in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. The current study focuses on the GPCRs identification, classification, distribution, and their expression analysis under ll-cypermethrin stress to uncover novel targets for pest management and assist in the development of effective strategies for controlling the melon fly population. We identified 80 GPCRs genes including 50 GPCRs identified in family A, 17 GPCRs identified in family B, 8 identified in family C, and 5 identified in family F. Z. cucurbitae GPCRs showed significant differences in both the number of genes in families or subfamilies, as well as the sequencing of the genes. Interestingly, newly identified GPCRs genes are expressed differently at various developmental stages of Z. cucurbitae. Further, we evaluated these 80 GPCRs using Realtime quantitative PCR to confirm their expression between ll-cypermethrin-resistant (RS) strain and susceptible strain (SS) of Z. cucurbitae. We identified 50 GPCR genes were highly overexpressed in a RS. Among these genes, eight genes were strongly induced by the 30% lethal concentration (LC) while two genes were significantly increased by the 50% LC of ll-cypermethrin. This first genome-wide profiling and characterization of GPCRs could lay foundation for unraveling detoxification mechanism and target site modifications which may improve the insect resistance and could be effective insecticide targets for Z. cucurbitae management.
