O n the hypothesis that prostaglandins and other eicosanoids mediate nodulation responses to bacterial infections in insects, we describe an intracellular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in homogenates prepared from hemocytes collected from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. PLAz hydrolyzes fatty acids fr

Recently, both nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive guanylyl cyclase were cloned in Manduca sexta and implicated in several cellular, developmental, and behavioral processes (Nighorn et al. [1998] J Neurosci 18:7244 -7255). However, NO is a highly diffusive gas, and little is
Phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are present in the prothoracic glands, muscle, and fat body of Manduca sexta, as determined by immunoprecipitation followed by kinase assay, and by Western blotting. One such protein (M(r) 178,000) can also be immunoprecipitated using antibodies directed against t
