We have cloned apolipophorin-III (apoLp-III) cDNA from adult fat body of Spodoptera litura. The sequence encodes a 188 amino acid polypeptide including a 22 amino acid leader peptide. The circular dichroism spectrum from the purified apoLp-III indicated a considerable content of alpha-helix. Sequenc

In the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), low juvenile hormone (JH) titers are necessary to initiate metamorphosis and diapause. Low JH titers coincide with high activities of JH esterase, which occur mainly in the hemolymph. The specific activity of JH esterase appeared to be highe
Protein inhibitors capable of inhibiting BCP (Bombyx cysteine proteinase) were found in the larval-pupal hemolymph of Bombyx mori. Two forms of the inhibitors, named BCPI (BCP inhibitor) a and BCPI b, were purified from the pupal hemolymph by heat treatment and column chromatographies on CMcellulose
