Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are innate immune effectors first studied for their role in host defence. Recent studies have implicated these the clearance of aberrant cells and neurodegenerative syndromes. In Drosophila, many AMPs produced downstream Toll Imd NF-κB pathways upon infection. Upon aging, upregulated, drawing attention to molecules as possible causes age-associated inflammatory diseases. However, functional overexpressing or silencing genes been inconclusive. Using an isogenic set AMP gene deletions, we investigated net impact on aging. Overall, found no major effect individual lifespan, with exception Defensin. ΔAMP14 flies lacking seven families displayed reduced lifespan. Increased bacterial load food aged suggested that lifespan reduction was due microbiome dysbiosis, consistent a previous study. Moreover, germ-free conditions extended flies. our results did not point overt Instead, collectively by preventing dysbiosis during

Antimicrobial peptides are host-encoded immune effectors that combat pathogens and shape the microbiome in plants animals. However, little is known about how host antimicrobial peptide repertoire adapted to its microbiome. Here, we characterized function evolution of Diptericin family Diptera. Using mutations affecting two Diptericins ( Dpt ) Drosophila melanogaster , reveal specific role DptA for pathogen Providencia rettgeri DptB gut mutualist Acetobacter . The presence DptA- or DptB- like genes across Diptera correlates with their environment. Moreover, sequences predict resistance against infection by these bacteria genus Our study explains evolutionary logic behind bursts rapid an reveals adapts changing microbial environments.

Abstract The gut is continuously invaded by diverse bacteria from the diet and environment, yet microbiome composition relatively stable over time for host species ranging mammals to insects, suggesting host-specific factors may selectively maintain key of bacteria. To investigate specificity, we used gnotobiotic Drosophila , microbial pulse-chase protocols, microscopy stability different strains in fly gut. We show that a host-constructed physical niche foregut binds with strain-level stabilizing their colonization. Primary colonizers saturate exclude secondary same strain, but initial colonization Lactobacillus physically remodels through production glycan-rich secretion favor unrelated commensals Acetobacter genus. Our results provide mechanistic framework understanding establishment multi-species intestinal microbiome.

Many animals depend on microbial symbionts to provide nutrition, defence or other services. Holometabolous insects, as well that undergo metamorphosis, face unique constraints symbiont maintenance. Microbes present in larvae encounter a radical transformation of their habitat and may also need withstand chemical immunological challenges. Metamorphosis provides an opportunity, symbiotic associations can be decoupled over development. For example, some holometabolous insects maintain the same adults, but house it different tissues; species, adults harbour entirely types numbers microbes, accordance with shifts host diet habitat. Such flexibility advantage hemimetabolous which selection adult-stage constrained by its negative effects immature stages, vice versa. Additionally, metamorphosis itself directly influenced symbionts. Across disparate insect taxa, microbes protect hosts from pathogen infection, supply nutrients essential for rebuilding adult body cues regulating pupation. However, remain completely unstudied many families even orders Holometabola, future research will undoubtedly reveal more links between microbiota, two widespread features animal life.

Abstract The impact of commensal bacteria on the host arises from complex microbial-diet-host interactions. Mapping metabolic interactions in gut microbial communities is therefore key to understand how microbiome influences host. Here we use an interdisciplinary approach including isotope-resolved metabolomics show that Drosophila melanogaster, Acetobacter pomorum ( Ap ) and Lactobacillus plantarum Lp a syntrophic relationship established overcome detrimental diets identify as bacterium altering host’s feeding decisions. Specifically, uses lactate produced by supply amino acids are essential , allowing it grow imbalanced diets. Lactate also necessary sufficient for alter fly’s protein appetite. Our data bacterial become resilient These ensure constant flow metabolites used reproduction behaviour.

The interplay between nutrition and the microbial communities colonizing gastrointestinal tract (i.e., gut microbiota) determines juvenile growth trajectory. Nutritional deficiencies trigger developmental delays, an immature microbiota is a hallmark of pathologies related to childhood undernutrition. However, how host-associated bacteria modulate impact on remains elusive. Here, using gnotobiotic Drosophila melanogaster larvae independently associated with Acetobacter pomorumWJL (ApWJL) Lactobacillus plantarumNC8 (LpNC8), 2 model Drosophila-associated bacteria, we performed large-scale, systematic nutritional screen based larval in 40 different precisely controlled environments.

In all metazoans, the intestinal tract is an essential organ to integrate nutritional signaling, hormonal cues and immunometabolic networks. The dysregulation of epithelium functions can impact organism physiology and, in humans, leads devastating complex diseases, such as inflammatory bowel cancers, obesity. Two decades ago, discovery immune response intestine genetic model system, Drosophila melanogaster, sparked interest using this dissect mechanisms that govern gut (patho) humans. 2007, finding stem cell lineage, followed by development tools available for its manipulation vivo, helped elucidate structural organization fly similarity with mammalian gastrointestinal systems. To date, studies have already shed light on a broad range biological questions regarding cells their niches, interorgan communication, immunity immunometabolism, making promising human enteric studies. This review summarizes our current knowledge structure melanogaster intestine, asserting validity emerging system study physiology, regeneration, defenses host-microbiota interactions.

Abstract Organisms are locally adapted when members of a population have fitness advantage in one location relative to conspecifics other geographies. For example, across latitudinal gradients, some organisms may trade off between traits that maximize components one, but not both, somatic maintenance or reproductive output. Latitudinal gradients life history strategies traditionally attributed environmental selection on an animal's genotype, without any consideration the possible impact associated microorganisms (“microbiota”) traits. Here, we show Drosophila melanogaster , key model for studying local adaptation and strategy, excluding microbiota from definitions is major shortfall. First, reveal isogenic fly line reared with different bacteria varies investment early reproduction versus maintenance. Next, wild fruit flies, abundance these same was correlated latitude strategy suggesting geographic specificity composition. Variation composition D. could be both environment host genetic selection. Finally, by eliminating manipulating lines collected gradient, genotype contributes latitude‐specific independent variation can suppress reverse differences lines. Together, findings establish animal as essential adaptation.

All microorganisms release many metabolites, collectively known as the exometabolome. The resultant multi-way cross-feeding of metabolites among distributes resources, thereby increasing total biomass microbial community, and promotes recruitment persistence phylogenetically functionally diverse taxa in communities. Metabolite transfer can also select for evolutionary diversification, yielding multiple closely related but distinct strains. Depending on starting conditions, evolved strains may be auxotrophs requiring metabolic outputs from producer cells or, alternatively, display loss complementary reactions pathways, with increased efficiency. is widespread communities associated animals plants, including animal gut microbiome, these interactions yield products valuable to host. However, metabolite exchange between pairs intracellular that share same host cell or organ very limited compared free-living microorganisms, perhaps a consequence controls over function microorganisms.
