Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a cloned locust tyramine receptor cDNA by functional expression in permanently transformed Drosophila S2 cells.
TL;DR: The cDNA for Tyr‐Loc, a G protein‐coupled receptor that clearly shows homology to a number of mammalian and fruit fly receptors for biogenic amines, was cloned from the nervous system of Locusta migratoria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of vitellogenin synthesis in male Sarcophaga bullata by ecdysterone
Roger Huybrechts,A. De Loof +1 more
TL;DR: Vitellogenin synthesis can be induced very quickly in adult male Sarcophaga bullata starting from 3 days after emergence by injection of a dose of ecdysterone, apparently derepresses in some way the viteLLogenin gene or m-RNA in males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vacuum-blotting: a new simple and efficient transfer of proteins from sodium dodecyl sulfate—polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose
TL;DR: The transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose paper has been of great interest since a wide variety of analytical procedures can be applied to the immobilized proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lom-AG-myotropin: a novel myotropic peptide from the male accessory glands of Locusta migratoria
TL;DR: A myotropic peptide, termed Lom-AG-myotropin, was isolated from extracts of 4400 accessory gland complexes of males of the locust, Locusta migratoria; the following sequence was derived: Gly-Phe-Lys-Asn-Val- ala-Leu-Ser-Thr-Ala-Arg-Gly- Phe-NH2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Newly discovered functions for some myotropic neuropeptides in locusts.
Liliane Schoofs,Elke Clynen,Anja Cerstiaens,Geert Baggerman,Zhu Wei,T. Vercammen,Ronald J. Nachman,A. De Loof,Seiji Tanaka +8 more
TL;DR: The recently discovered in vivo effects of some of the myotropic peptides, identified in locusts in the past decade, are described.
