Signaling by Drosophila capa neuropeptides

Highlights • Insect capa peptides modulate diuresis (fluid secretion) by malpighian tubules. • Capa peptides have a very complex mode of action involving calcium and cyclic GMP. • The capa receptor (capaR) is a G-protein coupled receptor. • Drosophila transgenics reveal new roles for capa signaling...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Insect capa peptides modulate diuresis (fluid secretion) by malpighian tubules. • Capa peptides have a very complex mode of action involving calcium and cyclic GMP. • The capa receptor (capaR) is a G-protein coupled receptor. • Drosophila transgenics reveal new roles for capa signaling in desiccation tolerance. • Further knowledge of capa function in insect pests may reveal new routes of control.
