Disease relevance of Tenebrio

 

High impact information on Tenebrio

  • Contrary to the evidence favouring glutamate as a transmitter of junctional excitation in insects, some investigators have found that curare (+)tubocrarine, TC), a classic acetylcholine (ACh) antagonist, suppresses the neurally evoked muscle potentials in the fly Sacophaga, and Tenebrio [2].
  • When taking a D. hornii or a gyrinidal-treated mealworm in the mouth, the fish subjects the item to an intensive oral flushing behavior, seemingly intended to rid the item of gyrinidal [3].
  • In a cross-species study, M. sexta allatostatin also inhibited the corpora allata of adult female Heliothis virescens but had no effect on the activity of corpora allata of adult females of the beetle Tenebrio molitor, the grasshopper Melanoplus sanguinipes, or the cockroach Periplaneta americana [4].
  • Developmental profiles of epidermal mRNAs during the pupal-adult molt of Tenebrio molitor and isolation of a cDNA clone encoding an adult cuticular protein: effects of a juvenile hormone analogue [5].
  • 20-Hydroxyecdysone accelerates the flow of cells into the G1 phase and the S phase in a male accessory gland of the mealworm pupa (Tenebrio molitor) [6].

Associations of Tenebrio with chemical compounds

  • A reexamination of the leucine tRNAs and the leucyl-tRNA synthetase in developing Tenebrio molitor [17].
  • The dynamics of threonine side chains of the Tenebrio molitor antifreeze protein (TmAFP) were investigated using natural abundance (13)C NMR [18].
  • We have previously identified a Thr- and Cys-rich thermal hysteresis (antifreeze) protein (THP) in the beetle Tenebrio molitor that has 10-100 times the freezing point depression activity of fish antifreeze proteins [19].
  • Role of 24- and 28-hydroxylated intermediates in the metabolism of beta-sitosterol in the insect Tenebrio molitor [20].
  • 2. These labelled substrates were mixed and administered, together with the hypocholesterolemic agent, triparanol citrate, to Tenebrio molitor larvae [21].
 

Gene context of Tenebrio

  • A zymogen form of masquerade-like serine proteinase homologue is cleaved during pro-phenoloxidase activation by Ca2+ in coleopteran and Tenebrio molitor larvae [11].
  • Furthermore, when Tenebrio hemolymph was incubated with Ca2+ and beta-1,3-glucan, the conversion of pro-PO to PO and the 55-kDa zymogen Tm-mas to the 45-kDa protein, was faster than in the presence of Ca2+ only [11].
  • The sequence identity of three of them with known Drosophila nuclear receptors strongly suggests that they are the Tenebrio orthologs of seven-up, DHR3 and beta-FTZ-F1, and thus named Tmsvp, TmHR3 and TmFTZ-F1 [22].
  • In this work, we demonstrated that recombinant Vn50 bound P. rapae hemolymph components that were recognized by antisera to Tenebrio molitor prophenoloxidase (proPO) and Manduca sexta proPO-activating proteinase (PAP) [23].
  • The effect of nucleotides on glutamate dehydrogenase from the mealworm fat body [24].
