Host-Derived Lipids Sustain Membrane Biogenesis in an Obligate Endosymbiont

Kathrine Xin Yee TAN, Dolma MICHELLOD, Makoto ARITA…·Shuji SHIGENOBU

The paper investigates how host-derived lipids sustain membrane biogenesis in the obligate endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola, showing host lipid metabolism is critical for symbiont survival.

Synthetic Peptide Nucleic Acids in Action: In Vivo Interference of the groEL Gene from Pea Aphid Endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola

Kathrine Xin Yee Tan, Shuji Shigenobu

This study uses synthetic antisense PNAs conjugated to CPPs to knock down the groEL gene in Buchnera aphidicola, causing reduced expression and morphological changes.
