Chitin is a component of the Rhodnius prolixus midgut

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016
Chitin is an essential component of the peritrophic matrix (PM), which is a structure that lines the insect's gut and protects against mechanical damage and pathogens. Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) does not have a PM, but it has an analogous structure, the perimicrovillar membrane (PMM); chitin has not been described in this structure. Here,

Uric acid synthesis in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970
Glycine-1-14C, glycine-2-14C, and sodium formate-14C were used to investigate the origin of the carbon atoms of uric acid in Rhodnius prolixus. As in other uricotelic organisms, the carboxyl carbon of glycine is incorporated into position 4 of uric acid, the alpha carbon of glycine goes to position 5, and the carbon of sodium formate is incorporated ...

Midgut glycosidases of Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Biochemistry, 1984
Abstract Through the use of p- nitrophenylglycosides the presence of α- and β-glucosidase, α- and β-galactosidase, α- and β-manosidase, α-fucosidase, β-N- acetylglucosaminidase , α- and β-N- acetylgalactosaminidase activities were detected in the crop and intestine of the blood sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus. All activities have an

THE HEMOCYTES OF RHODNIUS PROLIXUS STÅL

The Biological Bulletin, 1965
1. The hemocytes of Rhodnius prolixus have been studied with phase contrast microscopy, after supravital staining, and in fixed and stained smears.2. With phase contrast microscopy, the following categories of circulating cells can be readily identified: (a) non-dividing and mitotically-dividing prohemocytes, (b) non-vacuolated and vacuolated ...

Injury metabolism in an insect, Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970
Abstract Injury of Rhodnius larvae, in which growth and development are arrested by decapitation 1 day after feeding, results in an increase in the rate of oxygen consumption to levels characteristic of fed larvae in which these processes are not interfered with. This increase occurs in the period 2 to 5 days after wounding.

The histology of vitellogenesis in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1968
Abstract The general histology and protein distribution as revealed by staining with mercury bromphenol-blue of the ovaries of mated Rhodnius prolixus were studied at various times after feeding. Vitellogenesis began on the second day after feeding and continued until the ninth day, when it gradually decreased. Vacuolation of the β and late γ oocytes

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans from ovary of Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001
We have characterized sulfated glycosaminoglycans from ovaries of the blood-sucking insect Rhodnius prolixus, and determined parameters of their synthesis and distribution within this organ by biochemical and histochemical procedures. The major sulfated glycosaminoglycan is heparan sulfate while chondroitin 4-sulfate is a minor component.

cDNA cloning and expression of Rhodnius prolixus vitellogenin

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993
It was shown that Rhodnius prolixus vitellogenin (Vg) is synthesized as precursors of 205 and 190 kDa. Each Vg subunit is antigenically related to a domain in the precursor molecules. Since Vg has been previously detected in R. prolixus male adults, protein synthesis by fat bodies from 5th instar male nymphs was investigated and no Vg synthesis could ...

THE GORGING RESPONSE IN RHODNIUS PROLIXUS STĂHL

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1965
Rhodnius prolixus nymphs confined in an artificial feeding apparatus could be induced to gorge on 0.15 M NaCl solutions at pH 7.0 containing 10−3 M concentrations of chemicals having phosphate bonds of high energy release. The di- and tri-phosphates of adenosine, guanine, inosine, cytosine, and uridine all showed high gorging factor activity.
