Isolation and characterization of a full-length trypsin-encoding cDNA clone from the Lepidopteran insect, Choristoneura fumiferana.
The protease-encoding genes of Lepidopteran insects are of interest because they are adapted to functioning at very high pH optima, in the range of pH 10-12. Here, we report the isolation and sequence characterization of a trypsin-encoding cDNA clone from the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana.
