Studies of the Levels and Synthesis of Cytochrome c during Adult Development of the Blowfly Lucilia cuprina

From the ¹ From the Departments of Biochemistry of the School of General Studies, and of the John Curtin School of Medical Research, Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Cytochrome c from the blowfly Lucilia cuprina has been purified and its amino acid composition determined. Levels of cytochrome c in both the whole insect and the thorax have been determined during development. Thoracic cytochrome c has been shown to be synthesized de novo, at a rate sufficient to account for the appearance of the protein in the thorax during adult maturation. Cytochrome c synthesis in vivo was abolished by cycloheximide and unaffected by chloramphenicol. Amino acids derived from the degradation of an exogenous injected protein were incorporated into cytochrome c.
