... reported in other genes, such as human and Drosophila Gsa (thea-subunit of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein)isoforms [41,42].ProSpa¨tzle-1 mRNA was detected in hemocytes and fat bodies of ... residuecystine-knot domain. Injection of Spa¨tzle-C108, but not proSpa¨tzle-1A, intolarvae stimulated expression of several antimicrobial peptides and proteins,including attacin-1, cecropin-6, moricin, lysozyme, ... contained a 30 bp insertion in theORF, beginning at nucleotide 516. This resulted in insertion of a 10 amino acid segment (TREIDYPETI) and one substitution (Ser fi Gly) at the C-terminalend of...
