Identification, cloning, and expression of a GHF9 cellulase from Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
2011, Journal of Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Future research on TcEG1 will focus on localizing expression of the protein in the T. castaneum digestive tract, and evaluation of conditions affecting change in expression, such as different diets. If TcEG1 activity is critical for larval survival, it could be exploited as a potential insecticide target using RNAi, as previously demonstrated for the Cell-1 cellulase gene from Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Zhou et al., 2008), or inhibitors, as reported for A. foveicollis cellulase (Pant and Ramana, 1989). Optimization of TcEG1 via genetic engineering could enhance activity and thermostability leading to incorporation of TcEG1 in enzyme mixtures for bioreactors used to degrade lignocellulosic material for production of ethanol.
Characterization of cellulolytic activity from digestive fluids of Dissosteira carolina (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
2010, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B Biochemistry and Molecular BiologyCitation Excerpt :Additional research is needed to clone these enzymes thus facilitating cellulase identification and annotation of function. Cellulase activity reported for lepidopteran larvae have suggested increased activity with advancing larval development (Nakonieczny et al., 2006; Pant and Ramana, 1989). In contrast, we did not detect significant differences in cellulolytic activity during development of D. carolina.
