Abstract
The secreted salivary proteins from two cereal aphid species, Sitobion avenae and Metopolophium dirhodum, were collected
from artificial diets and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry. Protein identification was performed by searching MS data
against the official protein set from the current pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) genome assembly and revealed 12 and 7
proteins in the saliva of S. avenae and M. dirhodum, respectively. When combined with a comparable dataset from A. pisum,
only three individual proteins were common to all the aphid species; two paralogues of the GMC oxidoreductase family
(glucose dehydrogenase; GLD) and ACYPI009881, an aphid specific protein previously identified as a putative component of
the salivary sheath. Antibodies were designed from translated protein sequences obtained from partial cDNA sequences for
ACYPI009881 and both saliva associated GLDs. The antibodies detected all parent proteins in secreted saliva from the three
aphid species, but could only detect ACYPI009881, and not saliva associated GLDs, in protein extractions from the salivary
glands. This result was confirmed by immunohistochemistry using whole and sectioned salivary glands, and in addition,
localised ACYPI009881 to specific cell types within the principal salivary gland. The implications of these findings for the
origin of salivary components and the putative role of the proteins identified are discussed in the context of our limited
understanding of the functional relationship between aphid saliva and the plants they feed on. The mass spectrometry data
have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange and can be accessed under the identifier PXD000113.
