Activation of latent ribonuclease in the fat-body of fleshfly (Sarcophaga peregrina) larvae on pupation.

ABSTRACT: A crude extract of the fat-bodies of third-instar larvae of Sarcophaga peregrina (fleshfly) was found to contain latent RNAase (ribonuclease) consisting of RNAase and inhibitor protein that is sensitive to p-chloromercuribenzoic acid. The RNAase activity in the crude extract of fat-bodies became detectable with time after puparium formation, indicating that the inhibitor is selectively inactivated and RNAase is released from the RNAase-inhibitor complex during metamorphosis.

Induction of selective phosphorylation of a fat body protein of Sarcophaga peregrina larvae by 20-hydroxyecdysone.

Project description:20-Hydroxyecdysone was shown to induce selective phosphorylation of a fat body protein of Sarcophaga peregrina larvae with a molecular mass of 30 kDa. This phosphorylation was not associated with synthesis of new protein. Fractionation of 32P-labelled fat body by differential centrifugation showed that this protein was mainly present in the membrane-rich fraction, although we could not specify the membrane. Thus, 20-hydroxyecdysone may modify the function of the fat body by inducing phosphorylation of a specific membrane protein.

Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of Sarcophaga peregrina, a forensically important fly species.

Project description:Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly) is a frequently found fly species in Palaearctic, Oriental, and Australasian regions that can be used to estimate minimal postmortem intervals important for forensic investigations. Despite its forensic importance, the genome information of S. peregrina has not been fully described. Therefore, we generated a comprehensive gene expression dataset using RNA sequencing and carried out de novo assembly to characterize the S. peregrina transcriptome. We obtained precise sequence information for RNA transcripts using two different methods. Based on primary sequence information, we identified sets of assembled unigenes and predicted coding sequences. Functional annotation of the aligned unigenes was performed using the UniProt, Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. As a result, 26,580,352 and 83,221 raw reads were obtained using the Illumina MiSeq and Pacbio RS II Iso-Seq sequencing applications, respectively. From these reads, 55,730 contigs were successfully annotated. The present study provides the resulting genome information of S. peregrina, which is valuable for forensic applications.
