- •
Combined hemolymph fractionation, hemocyte spreading assay and mass spectroscopy allowed identification of growth blocking peptide (GBP) in Locusta migratoria.
- •
Locust GBP, 28-mer peptide, is located at C-terminus of a 64 amino acid long precursor polypeptide (secreted protein = 64–minus signal peptide….).
- •
GBP elicits locust hemocyte spreading and postpones adult molting.
- •
Most tissues except hemocytes, gut and Malpighian tubules display high GBP expression.
- •
Schistocerca gregaria contains a corresponding encoded peptide with a single amino acid substitution.
- •
can only be 85 characters per bullet line! Including spaces!!.
- •
64-mer precursor having C-terminal 28-mer Locusta migratoria LmGBP.
- •
LmGBP elicits locust hemocyte spreading in vitro and in vivo.
- •
LmGBP extends 5th instar growth period.
- •
Most tissues except hemocytes, gut, Malpighian tubules strongly express LmGBP.
