Abstract excerpt
The attacins constitute a group of immune proteins induced after bacterial infection in the moth Hyalophora cecropia. They are synthesized as preproproteins and undergo post-translational modification during transport to the hemolymph. The processing and transport rates of attacin were studied in its natural host as a response to infection. Monensin totally inhibited the processing from proattacin to attacin and...
