Primary structure of cytochrome c from the insect Ceratitis capitata. 1975

J M Fernández-Sousa, and J G Gavilanes, and A M Municio, and J A Paredes, and A Pérez-Aranda, and R Rodriguez

The complete amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from the Dipterous Ceratitis capitata (serie Acalypterae) has been determined by combining automatic and manual methods of sequence analysis. No overlaps between positions 79 and 80, 86 and 87, 91 and 92 as well as between 99 and 100 were obtained. The alignment of these peptides was done by homology with other sequences of cytochromes c from insects already described. Comparison with the sequences of cytochromes c of other Diptera studied so far shows three changes (positions 50, 60 and 61, according to vertebrate cytochrome c numeration) from the Acalypteran Drosophila melanogaster and five changes (positions 9, 36, 50, 60 and 61) from that of the Calypteran Haematobia irritans.

D004175 Diptera An order of the class Insecta. Wings, when present, number two and distinguish Diptera from other so-called flies, while the halteres, or reduced hindwings, separate Diptera from other insects with one pair of wings. The order includes the families Calliphoridae, Oestridae, Phoridae, SARCOPHAGIDAE, Scatophagidae, Sciaridae, SIMULIIDAE, Tabanidae, Therevidae, Trypetidae, CERATOPOGONIDAE; CHIRONOMIDAE; CULICIDAE; DROSOPHILIDAE; GLOSSINIDAE; MUSCIDAE; TEPHRITIDAE; and PSYCHODIDAE.
