Primary structure of four allatostatins: neuropeptide inhibitors of juvenile hormone synthesis.
Open accessAbstract
Four neuropeptides that inhibit juvenile hormone synthesis by the corpora allata have been isolated from brains of the virgin female cockroach Diploptera punctata. These allatostatins are 8-13 amino acids long, are amidated, and show sequence similarity, including a 3-amino acid sequence at the C-terminal end that is common to all four peptides. The peptide sequences are as follows: allatostatin 1, Ala-Pro-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gln-Arg-Leu-Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Leu-NH2; allatostatin 2, Gly-Asp-Gly-Arg-Leu-Tyr-Ala-Phe-Gly-Leu-NH2; allatostatin 3, Gly-Gly-Ser-Leu-Tyr-Ser-Phe-Gly-Leu-NH2; and allatostatin 4, Asp-Arg-Leu-Tyr-Ser-Phe-Gly-Leu-NH2. An in vitro bioassay of the synthesized allatostatins showed greater than 40% inhibition of juvenile hormone synthesis by corpora allata of virgin females with 10(-9) M allatostatin 1, 10(-8) M allatostatins 2 and 4, and 7 X 10(-7) M allatostatin 3. Inhibition by allatostatins 1-4 was reversible. In addition, allatostatin 1 inhibited juvenile hormone synthesis by corpora allata from mated females and last-instar larvae of D. punctata and corpora allata of adult female Periplaneta americana.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
