title: Avoidance of nonprotein amino acid incorporation into protein by the seed predator,Caryedes brasiliensis (Bruchidae).
abstract: Larvae of the bruchid beetle,Caryedes brasiliensis (Bruchidae) have the ability to avoid significant incorporation ofL-canavanine, the guanidinooxy structural analog ofL-arginine, into de novo synthesized proteins. This ability is related to a highly discriminatory protein-synthesizing system which exhibits marked ability to avoid processing an array of nonprotein amino acids structurally related to arginine.
