These cascades are negatively controlled by serine protease inhibitors (serpins) and fine-tuned by serine protease homologs (SPHs), which resemble SPs but lack catalytic activity. In Drosophila, a key SP cascade\u2014the Toll-phenoloxidase (Toll-PO) pathway\u2014governs both the melanization response and Toll-dependent antimicrobial peptide production. This cascade is triggered by secreted pattern-recognition receptors or microbial proteases and converges on 2 clip-domain SPs, Persephone and Hayan, which activate the Toll ligand Sp\u00e4tzle via the Sp\u00e4tzle-Processing Enzyme (SPE) and process prophenoloxidases. Here, we characterize the SPH Skanda and uncover its role in the Toll\u2013PO cascade. skanda is genomically clustered with hayan and persephone and is transcriptionally induced upon infection. Skanda is unusual among SPHs, containing a long serine\/threonine-rich region, 2 clip domains, and atypical disulfide bonds. Skanda is unstable and subject to cleavage by Grass. Functional assays show that Skanda dampens activation of Hayan, and to a lesser extent Persephone, within the Toll\u2013PO cascade. Notably, skanda-deficient flies are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus despite displaying normal Toll signaling and cuticular melanization. Moreover, compound mutants lacking 2 members of the hayan\u2013psh\u2013skanda cluster reveal a hidden contribution of Skanda to Toll activation in the absence of Persephone. Together, our results identify Skanda as a modulatory SPH that fine-tunes Toll pathway activity in concert with Persephone and Hayan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/iyag230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T07:39:37Z","timestamp":1788161977000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The
