Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) and pheromone degradation enzymes (PDEs) play a part in chemical communication of insects. Although the PBP is unfolds widely, molecular mechanism analysis of PDE is still insufficient. In this study, we identified two estimated enzymes from the antenna of Japanese silkworm when it affected pheromone degradation. We purified these enzymes from approximately 3,000 antennae of the silkworm. However, the purest fraction separated by high resolution ion exchange chromatography contains several proteins in SDS-PAGE analysis. PDE from silkworm might be composed of various subunit.
