- W2040476479 abstract "We investigated the mechanisms by which Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are able to metabolize ammonia. When females were given access to solutions containing NH4Cl or to a blood meal, hemolymph glutamine and proline concentrations increased markedly, indicating that ammonium/ammonia can be removed from the body through the synthesis of these two amino acids. The importance of glutamine synthetase was shown when an inhibitor of the enzyme was added to the meal causing the glutamine concentration in hemolymph to decrease significantly, while the proline concentration increased dramatically. Unexpectedly, we found an important role for glutamate synthase. When mosquitoes were fed azaserine, an inhibitor of glutamate synthase, the glutamine concentration increased and the proline concentration decreased significantly. This confirms the presence of glutamate synthase in mosquitoes and suggests that this enzyme contributes to the production of glutamate for proline synthesis. Several key enzymes related to ammonium/ammonia metabolism showed activity in homogenates of mosquito fat body and midgut. The mosquito genes encoding glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase were cloned and sequenced. The mRNA expression patterns of these genes were examined by a real-time RT-PCR in fat body and midgut. The results show that female mosquitoes have evolved efficient mechanisms to detoxify large loads of ammonium/ammonia." @default.
