Structure-function analysis of peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette transporters using chimeric dimers
2014
Background: Peroxisomal ABC transporters are predicted to function as homodimers in mammals. [br/] Results: ABCD1 interacts with ABCD2. Chimeric proteins mimicking full-length dimers represent novel tools for functional study. Artificial homodimers and heterodimers are functional. [br/] Conclusion: Interchangeability between ABCD1 and ABCD2 is confirmed, but PUFA transport depends on ABCD2. [br/] Significance: For the first time, heterodimers in mammals are proven to be functional.[br/] ABCD1 and ABCD2 are two closely related ATP-binding cassette half-transporters predicted to homodimerize and form peroxisomal importers for fatty acyl-CoAs. Available evidence has shown that ABCD1 and ABCD2 …
The chemical ecology of the Pacific beetle cockroach, Diploptera punctata
2012
The cockroach, Diploptera punctata, has a wide geographic distribution throughout much of Asia and Hawaii, and as is one of the few vivaparous insect species know, it has been extensively studied by to gain insight into the underlying physiology of this unusual form of reproduction. However, there is not a great deal known about the mating behaviour of this species. We will present results, using populations from Hawaii and Thailand, showing that (i) there is very little interbreeding between the two populations, (ii) short distance pheromones are involved in mating, (iii) there are marked intersexual and inter-race differences in the cuticular profiles (iv) cuticular profiles change with a…
Intraspecific variation in mating behaviour does not cause sexual isolation between Drosophila virilis strains
2005
There is increasing evidence that mate recognition systems vary within species. We studied the courtship rituals of five Drosophila virilis strains to investigate this intraspecific variation. Males that actively and persistently courted the female without paying much attention to the female's behaviour were the most successful at copulating. Intraspecific variation in mating rituals was high, but not as high as at the species level and it was not high enough to cause sexual isolation between the strains. The differences in courtship interactions of the strains reflected their geographical origin. Males from one of the strains did not produce audible song during their courtship, but still m…
Courtship song and immune function in the field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
2003
It has been assumed that sexual ornaments have evolved to reveal males’ health and vigour for females. Choosy females may indirectly use ornaments as an indicator of the presence and effectiveness of genes for resistance against parasites. In this study we tested whether females of the Mediterranean field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, can use courtship song as a cue for choosing males with high immunocompetence, measured as encapsulation rate of nylon implants and lytic activity of haemolymph. We found that female crickets preferred courtship songs from males with a high encapsulation rate. Female crickets also had a tendency to prefer courtship songs with high tick rate and long high-frequ…
