Abstract excerpt

Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO, EC 1.14.13.9), which catalyzes the oxidation of kynurenine to 3-hydroxykynurenine, is involved in the synthesis of ommochrome pigments in insects. A silkworm mutant, white egg 1 ( w-1), has been shown to be deficient in this enzyme activity. The mutant is characterized morphologically by its white eyes and the fact that the females lay white eggs. To analyze the relationship...
