Chemoreceptors From the Hawk Moth Manduca Sexta L
In this study I cloned and characterized four M. sexta chemoreceptors. Differential screening of a male antennal cDNA library before the publication of the Drosophila melanogaster genome yielded one G coupled-protein receptor that had no matches in Genbank databases and the results of RT-PCR and …

Isolation and Characterization of an Isoprenoid Transporter Protein in Manduca sexta
… characterization of an IPP transport protein in Manduca sexta would provide a model system for the study of IPP transport in animals as well as to allow characterization of mitochondrial metabolically derived compounds, which have not been possible to study. By isolating mitochondria from M. …

Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptide Genes in the Tobacco Hornworm Manduca sexta
… regulation of AMP genes in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. In chapter 2, I showed direct interaction between M. sexta MsToll and MsSpz-C108 by Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and demonstrated that co-expression of MsToll and MsSpz-C108 can activate AMP gene promoters in S2 cells by dual …

The regulation of motoneuron survival in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta
… system accompanies the emergence of the adult Manduca sexta moth. The cell loss is regulated both by hemolymph concentrations of a steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, and in the case of the MN-12 motoneurons, by actions exerted by neighboring ganglia.

Serotonin (5-HT) Increases Olfactory Responsiveness in the Tobacco Hawkmoth Manduca sexta
… aimed to identify the functional role of 5-HT in Manduca sexta olfactory function. Using a Pavlovian-Conditioning Paradigm, we conditioned moths to 2-hexanone and tested them using two different assays, a detection threshold assay and a generalization gradient assay. We found that 5-HT …

A P-glycoprotein-like mechanism in the nicotine-resistant insect, Manduca sexta.
… in insects, three insect species were used: Manduca sexta, Periplaneta americana and Rhodnius prolixus, the nicotine-resistant M. sexta was the model toxin-resistant insect. Immunostaining with a monoclonal antibody, C219, which recognizes a highly conserved epitope in all P-glycoprotein …

Costs and benefits of an extended phenotype: Chambers made by Manduca sexta larvae
… and benefit of chambers made by the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta (Sphingidae), whose larvae lose up to 60% of their body mass during chamber construction. Our study shows that these chambers provide critically important free space in which individuals transition from larvae to pupae and from pupae …

The role of arylphorin, an insect storage hexamer, in tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta.
The hypothesis that Manduca sexta arylphorin is a storage protein that provide amino acids for adult protein synthesis was proposed based on its development profile. This study provided experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis. First, preparation of radiolabeled arylphorin of Manduca sexta …

Characterization of Novel Neuronal Antigens in the Central Nervous System of Manduca Sexta
The predicted amino acid sequence of Ms-golgin80 is similar to several members of a growing family of coiled-coil, Golgi-associated proteins, including GM-130 and golgin-95. The Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans homologs of Ms-golgin80 were also identified through homology sequence search. …

The expression and regulation on antimicrobial peptide genes in insects: studies in the tobacco hornworm manduca sexta
… Drosophila melanogaster, the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta and the silkworm Bombyx mori. One of the insect humoral responses is the induced production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In D. melanogaster, bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) and fungal beta-1,3-glucan can induce AMP production by …

Time-varying phase relationship between spiking neuronal responses and local field potentials in olfactory processing in manduca sexta
… (LFP) oscillation phase. Using the sphinx moth, Manduca sexta, as a model system, we tested the predictions of the TOM with regard to the trial-to-trial consistency of odor driven oscillations, the phase-locking of action potentials to LFP oscillations, and the role of GABAA receptors in the …

Processing of plant-associated odors by a subset of projection neurons in the antennal lobe of the female moth, Manduca sexta
The olfactory system of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta is able to discriminate among odors and to mediate a behavioral response, such as feeding or oviposition in females. This dissertation research describes attempts to elucidate neural coding involved in the processing of odors within the first-order …
