Journal ArticleDOI
Amino-terminal amino Acid sequence of the silkworm prothoracicotropic hormone: homology with insulin.
Hiromichi Nagasawa,Hiroshi Kataoka,Akira Isogai,Saburo Tamura,Akinori Suzuki,Hironori Ishizaki,Akira Mizoguchi,Yuko Fujiwara,Atsushi C. Suzuki +8 more
TL;DR: Three molecular forms of prothoracicotropic hormone were isolated from the head of the adult silkworm, Bombyx mori, and the amino acid sequence of 19 amino acid residues in the amino terminus of these prothornicotropic hormones was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Fat Body-Derived IGF-like Peptide Regulates Postfeeding Growth in Drosophila
Naoki Okamoto,Naoki Yamanaka,Yoshimasa Yagi,Yasuyoshi Nishida,Hiroshi Kataoka,Michael B. O'Connor,Akira Mizoguchi +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that DILP6 is a functional, as well as a structural, counterpart of vertebrate IGFs, and provides in vivo evidence for a role of ILPs in determining adult body size through the regulation of postfeeding growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amino acid sequence of a prothoracicotropic hormone of the silkworm Bombyx mori.
Hiromichi Nagasawa,Hiroshi Kataoka,Akira Isogai,Saburo Tamura,Atsushi C. Suzuki,Akira Mizoguchi,Y Fujiwara,S Y Takahashi,Hironori Ishizaki +8 more
TL;DR: The complete amino acid sequence of 4K-PTTH-II, one of three forms of the M(r) 4400 prothoracicotropic hormone of the silkworm Bombyx mori, active to brainless pupae of Samia cynthia ricini, indicates that it belongs to the insulin family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning of the Bombyx mori prothoracicotropic hormone.
Atsushi Kawakami,Hiroshi Kataoka,Tadanori Oka,Akira Mizoguchi,Mina Kimura-Kawakami,Takashi Adachi,Masafumi Iwami,Hiromichi Nagasawa,Akinori Suzuki,Hironori Ishizaki +9 more
TL;DR: The complementary DNAs encoding PTTH of the silkmoth Bombyx mori were cloned and characterized, and the complete amino acid sequence was deduced, indicating that PTTH is first synthesized as a 224-amino acid polypeptide precursor containing three proteolytic cleavage signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central peptidergic ensembles associated with organization of an innate behavior
TL;DR: In insights into how innate, centrally patterned behaviors can be orchestrated via recruitment of peptide cotransmitter neurons, the ETH receptor (ETHR) gene in the moth Manduca sexta is identified.
