Ubiquitination is an ATP-dependent process that targets proteins for degradation by the proteasome. Here, we annotated 15 genes from the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the Asian citrus psyllid, . This psyllid vector has come to prominence in the last decade owing to its role in the transmission of the devastating bacterial pathogen, Liberibacter asiaticus (Las). Infection of citrus crops by this pathogen causes Huanglongbing (HLB), or citrus greening disease, and results in the eventual death of citrus trees. The identification and correct annotation of these genes in will be useful for functional genomic studies to aid the development of RNAi-based management strategies aimed at reducing the spread of HLB. Investigating the effects of Las infection on the expression of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway genes may provide new information about the role these genes play in the acquisition and transmission of Las by .
