Erwinions

Overview

Our team is aware that bees are a fundamental organism for life as we know it, both in the environmental sphere and in nutrition. However, we have noticed that there are many diseases that attack the bees in the different stages of their life, which involve economic losses of thousands of dollars per year in each country since most of these are not treated correctly. We try to break the barrier between the beekeeping industry and synthetic biology through a product that meets all the needs of beekeepers, it is not harmful to the environment and is available to everyone.

In Mexico there are no specific products to combat the two diseases that we study, and the methods to eradicate them are very severe or are preserved in the products derived from bees, which directly harms the economy of the apiculture industry. Our product favors the economy of beekeepers because besides reducing losses, is an endogenous product of bees, so it does not affect the composition of their products.

Apidaecin

Apidaecin is mostly lethal to Gram-negative bacteria, nevertheless, in the previous investigation by Khilnani, J. in 2015²³ apidaecin by itself showed antimicrobial activity against P. larvae and worked in synergy with defensin 2 effectively inhibiting this pathogen. Apidaecin appears to have no effect toward eukaryotic cells, and there is little to no bacterial resistance. The mechanism by which apidaecin kills bacteria starts with a non-specific binding of the peptide to an outer membrane component, which is a substantial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) component. Apidaecin later invades the periplasmic space thanks to a specific receptor/docking molecule, which is a component of the transport system on the inner membrane. The peptide is then translocated into the interior of the cell.²⁴ It is transported through into the cytosol by SbmA.²⁵ Once the peptide is inside of the cell it has two possible targets: DnaK and the 70s ribosome. Apidaecin leads the protein synthesis inhibition by targeting the ribosome. However, it appears that the ultimate target is the DnaK, this is the major bacterial Hsp70 (70 kDa heat shock proteins). DnaK has several functions that end up inhibited by the peptide; the ATPase activity, which is involved in the initiation of DNA synthesis, and the refolding of misfolded proteins.²⁴ DnaK is also indispensable for the viability of the cell in stress conditions like heat shock at 42ºC.²⁶

Defensin 1 & 2

Defensins have selective activity against Gram-positive bacteria. They disrupt, by forming channels, the permeability barrier of the cytoplasmic membrane, resulting in a loss of cytoplasmic K+, a partial depolarization of the inner membrane, a decrease in cytoplasmic ATP, and inhibition of respiration processes.²⁷

Abaecin

Abaecin shows activity against both Gram-negative and positive bacteria²⁸. It inhibits protein biosynthesis by targeting 70s ribosomes and also inhibits DnaK²⁹. Abaecin requires a compromised cell envelope or the presence of a pore-forming peptide such as hymenoptaecin or defensin before it can penetrate the membrane and gain access to its intracellular targets.³⁰
