Specific Residues in Plasmatocyte-spreading Peptide Are Required for Receptor Binding and Functional Antagonism of Insect Immune Cells

Plasmatocyte-spreading peptide (PSP) is a 23-amino acid cytokine that activates a class of insect immune cells called plasmatocytes. PSP consists of two regions: an unstructured N terminus (1-6) and a highly structured core (7-23). Prior studies identified specific residues in both the structured an...
