Partial purification and characterization of digestive trypsin-like proteases from the velvet bean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis.
Maria Goreti de Almeida Oliveira,S.G. De Simone,Luciana Pereira Xavier,Raul Narciso C. Guedes +3 more
TL;DR: The partially purified enzymes showing trypsin activity were sensitive to inhibition by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), phenylmethyl sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), N-alpha-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK), benzamidine and aprotinin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trypsin-like activity of membrane-bound midgut proteases from Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Luciana Pereira Xavier,Maria Goreti de Almeida Oliveira,Raul Narciso C. Guedes,Agenor Valarades Santos,Salvatore Giovanni De Simone +4 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the presence of membrane- bound trypsin-like proteases in the midgut of the velvetbean caterpillar, a key soybean pest in warm climates.
