Two distinct genes encode two major isoelectric forms of insecticyanin in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta.

European journal of biochemistry - 15 Apr 1992

Li W, Riddiford L M

Abstract excerpt

Insecticyanin is a blue pigment found in the epidermis and hemolymph of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Two distinct full-length cDNA species were isolated and shown to encode the two major isoelectric forms of insecticyanin, the a form (INS-a) and b form (INS-b). Sequence analysis of the two cDNA clones, pE1-I1 and Pe3-I2, reveals that both contain an 618-bp open reading frame which predicts an...
