The characteristics of hexokinase from Locusta migratoria muscle.

Model of β-Sheet of Muscle Fatty Acid Binding Protein of Locusta migratoria Displays Characteristic Topology

The β-sheet of muscle fatty acid binding protein of Locusta migratoria (Lm-FABP) was modeled by employing 2-D NMR data and the Rigid Body Assembly method. The model shows the β-sheet to comprise ten β-strands arranged anti-parallel to each other. There is a β-bulge between Ser 13 and Gln 14 which is a difference from the published structure of β-sheet of bovine heart Fatty Acid Binding Protein....

[Activity and subcellular localization of the enzyme adenyl cyclase in the flight-muscle of Locusta migratoria (author's transl)].

Wanderheuschrecken (Locusta migratoria) veratmen während eines längeren Fluges in den ersten dreißig Minuten vor allem Kohlenhydrate, später Fette1. In ihren Flugmuskeln können sowohl die Enzyme des Fettals auch die des Kohlenhydratabbaues nachgewiesen werden. Außerdem sinkt wäh­ rend des Fluges ihr Gehalt an Glykogen, Trehalose und Glukose2. Humorale, vielleicht auch nervöse Faktoren dürften d...

Incorporation of 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose into glycogen and trehalose in fat body and flight muscle in Locusta migratoria.

Flight muscle and fat body extracts from Locusta migratoria were incubated with D-[U-14C]-glucose or D-[3-3H]-3-deoxy-3-fluoroglucose and the products were analyzed. In the case of the latter compound, radio-chromatographic analysis yielded glycogen and trehalose fractions that were shown by 19F nuclear magnetic resonance to contain fluorine. Acid hydrolysis of these fractions liberated tritium...

Evidence of a central pattern generator regulating spermathecal muscle activity in Locusta migratoria and its coordination with oviposition.

Electrophysiological recordings were conducted to determine the control of spermathecal contractions during oviposition of interrupted egg-laying locusts, Locusta migratoria. Following transection of the central nervous system below the metathoracic ganglion, rhythmic patterned bursting was detected by extracellular recordings of the nerve N2B2 that innervates the muscles of the spermatheca. Su...
