    Notes: Abstract Female and male mountain pine beetles,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, were treated topically with piperonyl butoxide or sesame oil, both of which are known to inhibit poly substrate monooxygenase activity. Beetles then exposed to vapors of the host monoterpenes α-pinene and myrcene were found to contain reduced levels of the pheromonestrans-verbenol and ipsdienol, as well as a buildup of monoterpene precursors. Polysubstrate monooxygenase enzymes appear to be at least partially responsible for the detoxification of host monoterpenes and for the production of terpene alcohol pheromones in this species.

    Metallothionein and the development of the mottled disorder in the mouse (1983)
    Springer
    Biochemical genetics 21 (1983), S. 1175-1194 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-4927
    Keywords: metallothionein (MT) ; mottled mice ; copper accumulation

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Copper accumulates in kidney tissue of mottled (Mo) mice largely in association with a low MW cytosol protein, and the reduced copper levels in neonatal mutant liver are largely the result of a reduction in the amount of copper associated with this same protein. On the basis of ion-exchange chromatographic profile, heat stability, absence of a 280nm absorption peak, and the binding of Cd109 and Zn65 the protein mutants in the kidney is identified as metallothionein (MT). Amino acid analysis, however, failed to confirm this, and it is suggested that the high copper content of the mutant protein results in its oxidative degradation during purification, even when normal anaerobic precautions are taken. Estimates of thionein protein content of tissues from mutant and normal mice demonstrated that the levels are significantly elevated in both young and adult mutant kidney and depressed in young mutant liver, in parallel therefore with the changes in tissue copper levels. In adult mutant liver tissue, however, thionein levels are significantly raised, even though tissue copper content is normal. The synthesis and degradation of MT was examined in some detail. Incorporation of S35-cysteine in kidney MT was significantly raised in both young and adult mutant mice, while in adult tissue the rate of degradation of MT was significantly depressed. The elevated kidney MT levels arise therefore in young mutant mice from an increased rate of synthesis and in adult mice from the combined effects of increased synthesis and reduced degradation. The degradation of kidney MT was followed in young mice by the loss of Zn65. A biphasic decay curve was revealed in both mutant and normal tissue. The results support the conclusion that the Mo disorder primarily affects copper homeostasis and are consistent with the presence of a lesion in cellular copper efflux in copper-accumulating tissues. The changes in MT levels are a direct result of the altered intra-cellular concentrations.

    Sex-specific production of ipsdienol and myrcenol byDendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) exposed to myrcene vapors (1986)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 12 (1986), S. 1579-1586

    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Dendroctonus ponderosae ; bark beetle ; Coleoptera ; Scolytidae ; myrcene ; aggregation pheromones ; ipsdienol ; myrcenol

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Male mountain pine beetles,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, produced ipsdienol [97.0% ± 0.3S-(+)] and myrcenol (90.3% ± 4.0E) when exposed to myrcene vapors. Females which were exposed to myrcene vapors did not produce any ipsdienol, but did produce low levels of myrcenol (98.0% ± 0.7E). Neither sex produced detectable levels of ipsdienol or myrcenol when fed for 24 hr on lodgepole pine,Pinus contorta var.latifolia Engelmann. The sex-specific conversion of myrcene to ipsdienol and myrcenol suggests that these compounds may have behavioral significance within the species. In addition, the S-(+)-ipsdienol produced by maleD. ponderosae probably functions as a repellent allomone againstIps pini (Say).

    Terpene alcohol pheromone production byDendroctonus ponderosae andIps paraconfusus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in the absence of readily culturable microorganisms (1989)

    Notes: Abstract Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins andIps paraconfusus Lanier of both sexes produced most of their complement of terpene alcohols at normal to elevated levels in the absence of readily culturable microorganisms. However, there was some evidence that microbial involvement may be required by maleI. paraconfusus to produce ipsenol and ipsdienol at normal levels. Increased levels of certain terpene alcohols found in axenically reared or streptomycin-fed beetles suggest that symbiotic microorganisms may be responsible for breaking down pheromones and other terpene alcohols. There was also evidence for microbial involvement in the production of the antiaggregation pheromone verbenone inD. ponderosae. This compound was not produced in quantifiable levels by axenically reared or streptomycin-fed beetles exposed to α-pinene as vapors or through feeding, but was found in wildD. ponderosae exposed to α-pinene through feeding on bolts of lodgepole pine,Pinus contorta var.latifolia Engelmann.

    Pheromone production by axenically rearedDendroctonus ponderosae andIps paraconfusus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Mountain pine beetles,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, and California five-spined ips,Ips paraconfusus Lanier, were reared axenically from surface-sterilized eggs on aseptic pine phloem. After 24 hr in host logs, axenip femaleD. ponderosae and maleI. paraconfusus produced the aggregation pheromones,trans-verbenol (D. ponderosae), and ipsenol and ipsdienol (I. paraconfusus). Emergent, axenically reared maleD. ponderosae contained normal amounts of the pheromoneexo-brevicomin. Axenic femaleD. ponderosae treated with juvenile hormone or exposed to vapors of α-pinene, produced the pheromonetrans-verbenol. By 25–35 days after eclosion, axenic females exposed to α-pinene vapors produced over six times as muchtrans-verbenol as wild females, suggesting that while microorganisms in wild females may producetrans-verbenol, they may also inhibit production of the pheromone or use it as a substrate.

    Response of mountain pine beetle,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, and pine engraver,Ips pint (SAY), to ipsdienol in southwestern British Columbia (1988)

    Notes: Abstract In bioassays conducted with walking beetles in the laboratory (S)−(+)−, (R)-(−)-, and (±)-ipsdienol were attractive alone, but reduced the attraction of both sexes of the mountain pine beetle,Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, to extracts of female frass. Field trapping studies indicated that attraction ofD. ponderosae to a stimulus composed of myrcene +trans-verbenol +exo-brevicomin was significantly reduced with the addition of (±)- and sometimes (S)-(±)-ipsdienol. Thus, (S)-(+)-ipsdienol produced by males of this species may act as an antiaggregation pheromone. (S)-(+)-Ips-dienol is thought to function as a repellent allomone against the pine engraver,Ips pini (Say), in regions whereI. pini utilizes (R)-(−)-ipsdienol as an aggregation pheromone. However, in southwestern British ColumbiaI. pini was attracted to the (±)-ipsdienol used in field bioassays ofD. ponderosae, a finding consistent with the production of both enantiomers byI. pini in this region. When presented with the ternary semiochemical bait forD. ponderosae, (±)-ipsdienol was not attractive toI. pini. Thus, the activity of (S)-(+)-ipsdienol as a repellent allomone againstI. pini seems to be replaced in southwestern British Columbia by the inhibitory effects of myrcene,trans-verbenol,exo-brevicomin, or some combination thereof.

    Notes: Abstract A variety of symbionts associated with bark beetles are capable of producing compounds that are used as pheromones by their hosts. We report that two yeasts associated withDendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins,Hansenula capsulata Wickerham, andPichiapinus (Hoist) Phaff, are capable of convertingcis- andtrans-verbenol efficiently into verbenone.trans-Verbenol, which is produced by femaleD. ponderosae, acts as an aggregation pheromone for this scolytid, while verbenone, which other studies have indicated that microbe-reducedD. ponderosae are incapable of producing, acts as an antiaggregation pheromone.D. ponderosae appears to rely primarily on microbial symbionts for terminating aggregation and mass attack on individual host trees.
