A genetic analysis of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases involvement in DOPA synthesis during Drosophila adult development.

Insect biochemistry and molecular biology - 1 Jun 1994

Piedrafita A C, Martínez-Ramírez A C, Silva F J

Abstract excerpt

Around 50 min after adult ecdysis, a significant increase in DOPA content is observed in Drosophila melanogaster. This increase, which is followed by increases of other catecholamine sclerotizing precursors, parallels the visually observable pigmentation and hardening of the adult cuticle. Since this DOPA concentration developmental profile is correlated with cuticle formation, we have analyzed the involvement of...
