Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are widespread proteins that interact with exogenous chemicals from the diet or the environment. CYP9A subfamily genes are important in the silkworm Bombyx mori. We previously reported transcriptional levels of two CYP9A genes in different tissues and their responses to sodium fluoride (NaF). In this study, promoter truncation analysis using a dual-luciferase reporter assay in B. mori ovary cells (BmN) showed that the regions -1,496 to -1,102 bp for CYP9A19, and -1,630 to -1,210 bp for CYP9A22 were essential for basal transcriptional activity. Sequence analysis of these regions revealed several transcriptional regulatory elements but no typical promoter elements. Promoter activities were regulated after NaF induction and with an obvious dose effect. Although the dual-luciferase assay has been widely used to determine the activity of a given promoter in cell lines, problems with it still exist. Our results indicate that both plasmid size and construct protocols affect the experimental results.

Background: The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, a highly invasive, polyphagous pest, poses a global agricultural threat. It has two strains, the C-corn and R-rice strains, each with distinct host preferences. This study compares detoxification enzyme gene families across these strains and related Spodoptera species to explore their adaptation to diverse host plant metabolites.

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in insects have been verified to implicated in insecticide and phytochemical detoxification metabolism. However, the regulation of P450s, which are modulated by signal-regulated transcription factors (TFs), is less well studied in insects. Here, we found that the Malpighian tubule specific P450 gene in is induced by xenobiotics.

Here, we provide mechanistic support for the involvement of the CYP9A subfamily of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in the detoxification of host plant defense compounds and chemical insecticides in and . Our comparative genomics shows that a large cluster of genes occurs in the two species but with significant differences in its contents, including several species-specific duplicates and substantial sequence divergence, both between orthologs and between duplicates. Bioassays of CRISPR-Cas9 knockouts of the clusters show that, collectively, the CYP9As can detoxify two furanocoumarin plant defense compounds (imperatorin and xanthotoxin) and insecticides representing three different chemotypes (pyrethroids, avermectins, and oxadiazines).

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) enhances insect resistance to insecticides by regulating the detoxification network. Our previous studies have confirmed that overexpressions of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and glutathione -transferases (GSTs) are involved in -cyhalothrin resistance in . Here, we report that regulates the expression of GST and P450 genes, thus conferring resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Insect resistance to pesticides, particularly in Cydia pomonella, poses challenges for pest management, with P450 enzymes playing a key role in this resistance.
- Four specific CYP9A genes (CYP9A61, CYP9A120, CYP9A121, and CYP9A122) were linked to the metabolism of lambda-cyhalothrin, showing varying expression levels and metabolic preferences.
- The research found that knocking down certain CYP9A genes increased larval susceptibility to lambda-cyhalothrin, highlighting their functional redundancy and importance in developing resistance.
