Multiple antigenic peptides designed to structurally related Drosophila peptides.

We have isolated TDVDHVFLRFamide (DMS), FDDYGHMRFamide (DSK), and DPKQDFMRFamide from Drosophila melanogaster. These peptides, structurally related by a common C-terminus -XRFamide, where X = L or M, are encoded by three different genes. To determine cellular expression, we have generated antisera to multiple antigenic peptides and performed double-label immunofluorescence using antisera raised in the same species host animal. Our results indicate that DMS and DSK immunoreactive materials have unique, non-overlapping expression patterns, while DMS and DPKQDFMRFamide immunoreactive materials colocalize in two superior protocerebrum neurons, and DSK and DPKQDFMRFamide immunoreactive materials colocalize in one superior protocerebrum neuron, one subesophageal ganglion neuron, and three thoracic ganglia neurons.[1]
