Structural studies on the neutral glycosphingolipids of Manduca sexta [PDF]

Bioorganic Chemistry, 2008
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) have been implicated as playing major roles in cellular interactions and control of cell proliferation in muticellular organisms. Moreover GSLs and other sphingolipids such as sphingomyelins, ceramides and sphingosines serve a variety of roles in signal transduction.

High-throughput screening of caterpillars as a platform to study host–microbe interactions and enteric immunity

Nature Communications, 2022
Here, combining diagnostic imaging modalities and in vivo assays, Windfelder and colleagues established tobacco hornworm larvae Manduca sexta as an alternative high-throughput platform to study the innate immunity of the gut and host-pathogen ...

Learning of multi-modal stimuli in hawkmoths. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, uses both colour and odour to find flowers when foraging for nectar. In the present study we investigated how vision and olfaction interact during learning.

Unique neural coding of crucial versus irrelevant plant odors in a hawkmoth

eLife, 2022
The sense of smell is pivotal for nocturnal moths to locate feeding and oviposition sites. However, these crucial resources are often rare and their bouquets are intermingled with volatiles emanating from surrounding ‘background’ plants.

Presence of unsaturated sphingomyelins and changes in their composition during the life cycle of the moth Manduca sexta

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
NMR and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry were used to show for the first time the presence of sphingomyelins in extracts of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera).

Characterization of tyrosine hydroxylase from Manduca sexta [PDF]

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007
In insects, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) is required for tanning of newly formed cuticle and the production of melanin during some types of immune responses. DOPA is produced by the hydroxylation of tyrosine, and this reaction can be catalyzed by two types of enzymes: tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenoloxidase (PO).

Dominant negative phenotype of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab, Cry11Aa and Cry4Ba mutants suggest hetero-oligomer formation among different Cry toxins. [PDF]

, 2011
Background - Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins are used worldwide in the control of different insect pests important in agriculture or in human health. The Cry proteins are pore-forming toxins that affect the midgut cell of target insects.
