Agelaia MP-I: a peptide isolated from the venom of the social wasp, Agelaia pallipes pallipes, enhances insulin secretion in mice pancreatic islets.
Peptides isolated from animal venoms have shown the ability to regulate pancreatic beta cell function. Characterization of wasp venoms is important, since some components of these venoms present large molecular variability, and potential interactions with different signal transduction pathways. For example, the well studied mastoparan peptides interact with a diversity of cell types and cellula...
متن کاملHyaluronidase from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista (Hymenoptera, Vespidae): Cloning, structural modeling, purification, and immunological analysis.
In this study, we describe the cDNA cloning, sequencing, and 3-D structure of the allergen hyaluronidase from Polybia paulista venom (Pp-Hyal). Using a proteomic approach, the native form of Pp-Hyal was purified to homogeneity and used to produce a Pp-specific polyclonal antibody. The results revealed that Pp-Hyal can be classified as a glycosyl hydrolase and that the full-length Pp-Hyal cDNA (...

متن کاملThe British freshwater crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes
lives in streams or pools that are liable to dry up or become stagnant, and these animals are known to leave water voluntarily to forage or to invade neighbouring habitats (Huxley, 1896; Taylor and Wheatly, 1980). When placed in air, the gills collapse and the crayfish suffer continuously from systemic hypoxia and hypercapnia. Associated with an initial virtual anoxia and a switch to anaerobic ...
متن کاملForaging in Social Wasps: Agelaia Lacks Recruitment to Food (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
Experimental tests on Agelaia multipicta in Venezuela and A. hamiltoni in Peru failed to demonstrate recruitment of nestmates to carrion. Foraging ranges of neigh boring colonies overlap and foragers occasionally showed aggression when they encountered one another on the baits. These species appear to engage in scramble competition with congeners and non-congeneric scavenging wasps, ants, and b...
