Aromatic Amino Acids in the Venom of the Braconid Parasitoid Apanteles kariyai

The venom gland of the braconid parasitoid, Apanteles kariyai, was morphologically observed with photomicroscope and aromatic amino acids in its venom fluid were chemically analyzed with a three-dimensional HPLC svstem-coulometric ECD. Tyrosine (TYR-4) → tyramine (TYRA) → hydroxyphenylacetic acid (H...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The venom gland of the braconid parasitoid, Apanteles kariyai, was morphologically observed with photomicroscope and aromatic amino acids in its venom fluid were chemically analyzed with a three-dimensional HPLC svstem-coulometric ECD. Tyrosine (TYR-4) → tyramine (TYRA) → hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HPAC-4) and tryptophan (TRP) → kynurenine (KYN) were the detected metabolic pathways. This report of venom components of a braconid wasp outlines qualitative differences between this and venom from social wasps.
