Figure 6

A hypothetical model showing how the SPN protein of N. bombycis suppresses the serine protease cascade of the melanization pathway of the host B. mori . After the suppression of the serine protease cascade, the defensive response, the subsequent formation of melanization will be inhibited in the hosts. Abbreviation: PPO, prophenoloxidase; β-GRP, β-glucan recognition protein.
