Destruxin A inhibits the hemocytin-mediated hemolymph immunity of host insects to facilitate Metarhizium infection
Summary: Insects have an effective innate immune system to protect themselves against fungal invasion. Metarhizium employs a toxin-based strategy using a nonribosomal peptide called destruxin A (DA) to counteract the host immune response. However, the mechanism by which DA inhibits insect immunity i...
