The protein Vitellogenin has previously been expressed in the methyl-trophic yeast Pichia pastoris which has shown to impact cellular production of essential amino acids and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. This effect is consistent with the putative role of Vitellogenin in the health of metazoans, a group which includes wasps (Encarsia formosa) and Silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). Targeting Vitellogenin for increased production in certain wasps, or decreased production in Silverleaf whitefly, could both be future routes to controlling the whitefly as a pest.

Usage and Biology

The protein Vitellogenin has previously been expressed in the methyl-trophic yeast Pichia pastoris which has shown to impact cellular production of essential amino acids and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. This effect is consistent with the putative role of Vitellogenin in the health of metazoans, a group which includes wasps (Encarsia formosa) and Silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). Targeting Vitellogenin for increased production in certain wasps, or decreased production in Silverleaf whitefly, could both be future routes to controlling the whitefly as a pest.
