Research Abstract |
Multidrug resistance proteins (ABC transporters) are well known in mammals and bacteria. In insects, multidrug resistance proteins are not well characterized, although these proteins may be related to insecticide resistance in insect pests. ABC transporters that are involved in drug excretion were explored based on sequence similarity, and two candidate genes were cloned. An ABC transporter gene, whose expression was up-regulated upon the insecticide treatment, was also found by microarray analyses. These three ABC transporter genes were introduced into insect cell line (Sf9) and cytotoxicity assay is performing to know whether these genes work for drug excretion.
