Cloning and expression analysis of a muscarinic cholinergic receptor from the brain of ant, Polyrhachis vicina
16-06-2011 | Lü, Shu‐Min; Zhao, Zhuo; Li, Ke; Zhang, Ya‐Lin; Xi, Geng‐Si, Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAchRs) are the predominant cholinergic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems of animals. They also have been found in various insect nervous systems. In this article, a full‐length cDNA of a pupative mAchR (PmAchR) was ...
Functional characterization and immunolocalization of odorant binding protein 1 in the lucerne plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus (GOEZE)
01-06-2011 | Gu, Shao‐Hua; Wang, Wei‐Xuan; Wang, Gui‐Rong; Zhang, Xue‐Ying; Guo, Yu‐Yuan; Zhan ..., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract In the insect phylum, the relationships between individuals and their environment are often modulated by chemical communication. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are widely and robustly expressed in insect olfactory organs and play a key role in chemosensing and transporting ...
A BTB domain‐containing gene is upregulated by immune challenge
01-06-2011 | Wang, Gang; Liu, Peng‐Cheng; Wang, Jin‐Xing; Zhao, Xiao‐Fan, Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract 20‐Hydroxyecdysone (20E) is an important hormone that regulates the development of insects. Although previous evidence revealed that 20E promotes innate immunity in insects, the mechanism involved is still unclear. In this study, the HaBBP gene from Helicoverpa armigera is cloned, ...
Electrophysiological response patterns of 16 olfactory neurons from the trichoid sensilla to odorant from fecal volatiles in the locust, locusta migratoria manilensis
01-06-2011 | Cui, Xiaojie; Wu, Caihong; Zhang, Long, Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Locusts are the most serious pests of crops in greater part of the world. They locate their host plants primarily through olfactory cues, using antennal chemosensilla, which house olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Despite the great economical interest of these species, their ...
Reversible phosphorylation regulation of NADPH‐linked polyol dehydrogenase in the freeze‐avoiding gall moth, Epiblema scudderiana: role in glycerol metabolism
01-05-2011 | Holden, Helen A.; Storey, Kenneth B., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Larvae of the goldenrod gall moth, Epiblema scudderiana, use a freeze avoidance strategy of cold hardiness to survive the winter. A key metabolic adaption that supports subzero survival is the accumulation of large amounts of glycerol as a colligative antifreeze. Production of ...
High‐level expression of the Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase gene in the frontal gland of soldiers in Reticulitermes speratus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
01-05-2011 | Hojo, Masaru; Toga, Kouhei; Watanabe, Dai; Yamamoto, Tomoyo; Maekawa, Kiyoto, Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Defensive strategies of termite soldiers are roughly classified as either mechanical, using mandibles and/or the whole head, or chemical, using frontal gland secretion. Soldiers of the genus Nasutitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae), which is one of the most derived termite ...
Lipid accumulation and utilization by oocytes and eggs of Rhodnius prolixus
01-05-2011 | Santos, Rachel; Rosas‐Oliveira, Rafael; Saraiva, Felipe B.; Majerowicz, David; Gondim, Katia C., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Insect eggs must contain the necessary nutrients for embryonic growth. In this article, we investigated the accumulation of triacylglycerol (TAG) in growing oocytes and its utilization during embryonic development. TAG makes up about 60% of the neutral lipids in oocytes and ...
Expression of trypsin‐like serine peptidases in pre‐imaginal stages of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
01-04-2011 | Mesquita‐Rodrigues, Camila; Saboia‐Vahia, Leonardo; Cuervo, Patrícia; Masini d'Avila Levy, Clau ..., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract This study reports the biochemical characterization and comparative analyses of highly active serine proteases in the larval and pupal developmental stages of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) using substrate‐SDS‐PAGE. Zymographic analysis of larval stadia detected proteolytic activity in ...
Characterization of mosquito CYP6P7 and CYP6AA3: differences in substrate preference and kinetic properties
01-04-2011 | Duangkaew, Panida; Pethuan, Sirikun; Kaewpa, Dolnapa; Boonsuepsakul, Soamrutai; Sarapusit, Songklod; Rongnoparut, Po ..., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are involved in insecticide resistance in insects. We previously observed an increase in CYP6P7 and CYP6AA3 mRNA expression in Anopheles minimus mosquitoes during the selection for deltamethrin resistance in the laboratory. CYP6AA3 has been shown to ...
An efficient binary system for gene expression in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, using GAL4 variants
01-04-2011 | Kobayashi, Isao; Kojima, Katsura; Uchino, Keiro; Sezutsu, Hideki; Iizuka, Tetsuya; Tatematsu,, Ken‐Ichiro; Yo ..., Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
Abstract A binary gene expression system using the yeast GAL4 DNA‐binding protein and the upstream activating sequence (UAS) of galactose‐driven yeast genes is an established and powerful tool for the analysis of gene function. However, in the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, this ...
