Insect phenoloxidases participate in three physiologically important processes, viz., cuticular hardening (sclerotization), defense reactions (immune reaction), and wound healing. Arrest or even delay of any of these processes compromises the surviva

Tyrosinase initiates melanogenesis in a variety of organisms. The nature of melanin formed is modified subsequently by dopachrome isomerase and other melanogenic proteins. Earlier, we reported the partial purification of dopachrome isomerase (decarbo

Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH) and malic enzyme (mME) of a filarial worm Setaria digitata were studied. mMDH exhibited the highest activities in the oxidation and reduction reactions at pH 9.5 and pH 6.2, respectively, while mME did so in

Melanization, and hence the participation of phenoloxidase, in defense mechanism of arthropods is well established. However, in the living fossil, horseshoe crab, it has been claimed that the prophenoloxidase system widely found in the hemolymph of m

Melanin biosynthesis in animals is initiated by the ubiquitously present tyrosinase and is aided by dopachrome isomerase. We have characterized a novel dopachrome isomerase (decarboxylating) from the hemolymph of Manduca sexta that generates a new qu

Dopachrome isomerase is a recently discovered enzyme associated with the melanogenesis process occurring in most vertebrates and invertebrates. It catalyzes the conversion of dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole(s). Based on the fact that 5,6-dihydroxyi

The oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol, one of the sclerotizing precursors for the tanning of the ootheca of cockroach Periplaneta americana, is reported for the first time. Mushroom tyrosinase catalyzed oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol

The phenoloxidase system responsible for the sclerotization of cockroach ootheca is found to be present as an inactive form in the left colleterial gland of Periplaneta americana. The supernatant fraction obtained by centrifugation of the milky white
