1. Aspectos celulares e moleculares das glândulas salivares e do corpo gorduroso de Rhynchosciara americana durante o desenvolvimento. / Cellular and molecular aspects of salivary glands and fat body of Rhynchosciara americana during development.
Durante o desenvolvimento de holometálobos alguns tecidos são eliminados/remodelados durante a metamorfose. A autofagia age nesse processo degradando componentes citoplasmáticos, inicialmente isolando-os em dupla membrana, estrutura chamada autofagossomo e esses conteúdos são degradados por hidrolases lisossomais. Porém, aspectos apoptóticos podem est

2. Doom, a product of the Drosophila mod(mdg4) gene, induces apoptosis and binds to baculovirus inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins.
A family of baculovirus inhibitor-of-apoptosis (IAP) genes is present in mammals, insects, and baculoviruses, but the mechanism by which they block apoptosis is unknown. We have identified a protein encoded by the Drosophila mod(mdg4) gene which bound to the baculovirus IAPs. This protein induced rapid apoptosis in insect cells, and consequently we have name

3. A single Photorhabdus gene, makes caterpillars floppy (mcf), allows Escherichia coli to persist within and kill insects
Photorhabdus luminescens, a bacterium with alternate pathogenic and symbiotic phases of its lifestyle, represents a source of novel genes associated with both virulence and symbiosis. This entomopathogen lives in a “symbiosis of pathogens” with nematodes that invade insects. Thus the bacteria are symbiotic with entomopathogenic nematodes but become patho

4. Influence of infection route on the infectivity of baculovirus mutants lacking the apoptosis-inhibiting gene p35 and the adjacent gene p94.
The infectivity of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus mutants lacking the apoptosis-inhibiting gene p35 is decreased 1,000-fold or more in larvae of the insect Spodoptera frugiperda if the budded form of the virus is administered by hemocoelic injection; this decrease is correlated with the antiviral effects of apoptosis (R. J. Clem and L. K.

5. The Genome of Melanoplus sanguinipes Entomopoxvirus
The family Poxviridae contains two subfamilies: the Entomopoxvirinae (poxviruses of insects) and the Chordopoxvirinae (poxviruses of vertebrates). Here we present the first characterization of the genome of an entomopoxvirus (EPV) which infects the North American migratory grasshopper Melanoplus sanguinipes and other important orthopteran pests. The 236-kbp
