The molecular mechanism for DDT detoxification in Anopheles gambiae: A molecular docking study
The epsilon class glutathione-S-transferase of Anopheles gambiae, agGSTe2, is capable of metabolizing DDT. A molecular docking analysis of DDT with agGSTe2 support an E2 elimination mechanism wherein the glutathione sulfur serves as the base to convert DDT to DDE.
متن کاملComparative molecular modeling of Anopheles gambiae CYP6Z1, a mosquito P450 capable of metabolizing DDT.
One of the challenges faced in malarial control is the acquisition of insecticide resistance that has developed in mosquitoes that are vectors for this disease. Anopheles gambiae, which has been the major mosquito vector of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in Africa, has over the years developed resistance to insecticides including dieldrin, 1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroetha...
متن کاملMolecular karyotyping of the 2La inversion in Anopheles gambiae.
The African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae is polymorphic for alternative arrangements on the left arm of chromosome 2 (2La and 2L+(a)) that are non-randomly distributed with respect to degree of aridity. Detailed studies on the ecological role of inversion 2La have been hindered by the technical demands of traditional karyotype analysis and by sex- and stage-specific limitations on the avail...
متن کاملThe “Far-West” of Anopheles gambiae Molecular Forms
The main Afrotropical malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, is undergoing a process of sympatric ecological diversification leading to at least two incipient species (the M and S molecular forms) showing heterogeneous levels of divergence across the genome. The physically unlinked centromeric regions on all three chromosomes of these closely related taxa contain fixed nucleotide diff...
متن کاملThe molecular receptive range of a lactone receptor in Anopheles gambiae.
In an environment filled with a complex spectrum of chemical stimuli, insects rely on the specificity of odorant receptors (ORs) to discern odorants of ecological importance. In nature, cyclic esters, or lactones, represent a common class of semiochemicals that exhibit a range of diversity through ring size and substituents, as well as stereochemistry. We have used heterologous expression to ex...
