Transcriptional expression of bursicon and novel bursicon‐regulated genes in the house fly Musca domestica

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2008
AbstractBursicon is a neuropeptide that regulates cuticle sclerotization (hardening and tanning) via a G protein–coupled receptor. It consists of two subunits, an alpha and a beta. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptional expression and in situ localization of bursicon α and β in the central nerve system of the house fly Musca ...

THE NEUROPEPTIDE BURSICON ACTS IN CUTICLE METABOLISM

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2015
Bursicon is a heterodimeric neuropeptide formed of bursicon α (burs α) and bursicon β (burs β) that controls cuticle tanning and wing expansion in insects. Burs α–α and burs β−β homodimers are also formed; they act via an unknown receptor to induce expression of prophylactic immune and stress genes during molting.

Bursicon homodimers induce the innate immunity via Relish in Procambarus clarkii

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2020
Bursicon (burs) is a neuropeptide hormone consisting of two cystine-knot proteins (burs α and burs β), and burs α-β is responsible for cuticle tanning in insects. Further studies show that burs homodimers induce prophylactic immunity. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that burs homodimers act in regulating immunity in the red swamp crayfish ...

Properties of Bursicon: An Insect Protein Hormone That Controls Cuticular Tanning

Science, 1966
On gel filtration the retention volume of bursicon indicates a molecular weight of about 40,000. On disc electrophoresis bursicon migrates toward the anode and appears at an R F (relative to the marker dye) of 0.3 to 0.4. The properties of fractions with bursicon activity in blood, brain, and ganglion of

Induction of epidermal cyclic AMP by bursicon in mealworm,Tenebrio molitor

Experientia, 1979
Bursicon active hemolymph ofTenebrio, injected into host pupae deprived in bursicon, induces a 2-fold increase of cyclic AMP in the epidermis of the hosts 5 min after the injection. No increase is observed by injecting bursicon inactive hemolymph or insect Ringer.

Bursicon: Its effect on tyrosine permeation into insect haemocytes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1972
Abstract When haemolymph of Pieris brassicae is incubated in isotonic solutions, tyrosine, a normal constituent of insect haemolymph, is rapidly metabolized with concomitant deterioration of the system. This reaction may be prevented by adding 10 −4 M sodium diethyldithiocarbamate to the incubates.

Bursicon-expressing neurons undergo apoptosis after adult ecdysis in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011
Neuropeptides are important regulators of diverse processes during development. The insect neuropeptide bursicon, a 30 kDa heterodimer, controls the hardening of the new cuticle after the shedding of the old one (ecdysis) and the inflation and maturation of adult wings.

Bursicon-induced adenyl cyclase activity in the haemocytes of the American cockroach

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1982
Abstract Partially purified preparations of bursicon were injected, between ecdyses, into American cockroaches ( Periplaneta americana ) held at 4°C. After short periods of time, the haemocytes were removed and found to contain appreciable amounts of cyclic adenosine 5′-monophosphate (cAMP).
