Multifaceted biological insights from a draft genome sequence of the tobacco hornworm moth Manduca sexta

, 2016
Manduca sexta, known as the tobacco hornworm or Carolina sphinx moth, is a lepidopteran insect that is used extensively as a model system for research in insect biochemistry, physiology, neurobiology, development, and immunity.

A senior moment: What is the program of programmed cell death?

Cell Communication and Signaling
A previously generated sequence of putative mRNA from intersegmental muscles of Manduca sexta moths just before the death of the muscles has been identified as the N-terminal sequence of a copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase.

Lipophorin of the larval honeybee, Apis mellifera L.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
Most insects have a major lipoprotein species in the blood (hemolymph) that serves to transport fat from the midgut to the storage depots in fat body cells and from the fat body to peripheral tissues.

Allosteric activation of the nitric oxide receptor soluble guanylate cyclase mapped by cryo-electron microscopy

eLife, 2019
Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary receptor for nitric oxide (NO) in mammalian nitric oxide signaling. We determined structures of full-length Manduca sexta sGC in both inactive and active states using cryo-electron microscopy. NO and the sGC-

Substrate specificity of membrane-bound alcohol oxidase from the tobacco hornworm moth (Manduca sexta) female pheromone glands

, 2006
A putative alcohol oxidase (AO) from abdominal tips (ATs) of Manduca sexta virgin females was studied in a biphasic system hexane/aqueous phosphate buffer.

Isolation and maintenance-free culture of contractile myotubes from Manduca sexta embryos.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering has the potential to treat tissue loss and degenerative diseases. However, these systems are also applicable for a variety of devices where actuation is needed, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and robotics.

Natural history of interaction between Meteorus sp. Haliday, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and its hyperparasitoid Toxeumella albipes Girault, 1913 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Some parasitoids build a cocoon mass that hangs in the host body until the adults emergence, which is an advantage against attack by predators who troll the vegetation in search of prey.

A characterization of the Manduca sexta serotonin receptors in the context of olfactory neuromodulation.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Neuromodulation, the alteration of individual neuron response properties, has dramatic consequences for neural network function and is a phenomenon observed across all brain regions and taxa.
