This project investigates a newly discovered enzyme family in a plant-feeding mite, focusing on its role in detoxifying harmful compounds from plants. The research aims to understand how these enzymes counteract plant defense mechanisms and their potential applications in biotechnology.
Detoxification of poisonous xenobiotics in animals is typically performed by multi-gene enzyme families.
Within arthropods, only insect genomes have been studied in detail where these families are well characterized. I recently uncovered a new enzyme family in the genome of a non-insect arthropod, the extremely polyphagous plant-feeding mite Tetranychus urticae and showed that this proliferated family was acquired via horizontal gene transfer from a fungal donor.
The family codes for intradiol r…
