Article: Researchers at Huazhong Agricultural University have published new data on entomology.

"We report on the identification and characterization of a new cDNA encoding the pheromone-binding protein1 (PxylPBP1) from male antennae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). The deduced amino acid sequences of PxylPBP1 revealed a mature protein of 164 amino acids, with six cysteine residues in conserved positions relative to other known PBP," investigators in Wuhan, People's Republic of China report.

"The alignment of the mature PxylPBP1 with other Lepidoptera PBP showed high sequence similarity (70-80%) with other full-length sequences from GenBank. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed ...
