http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/9210163http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"By monitoring the contractile activity of the hyperneural muscle of the American cockroach in vitro two peptides were isolated from the retrocerebral complex of the American cockroach. Three purification steps using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography on C-18 columns containing trifluoroacetic acid or heptafluorobutyric acid as organic modifiers were sufficient to achieve homogeneous peptide preparations. The structures of both peptides were elucidated by a combination of Edman degradation and mass spectrometry which yielded the following structures: His-Thr-Ala-Gly Phe-Ile-Pro-Arg-Leu-NH2 (Pea-PK-1) and Ser-Pro-Pro-Phe-Ala-Pro-Arg-Leu-NH2 (Pea-PK-2). The C-terminal sequence Phe-X-Pro-Arg-Leu-NH2 characterized the peptides as members of the insect pyrokinin family. The synthetic peptides were shown to have the same retention times as the natural peptides. The occurrence of both peptides in the retrocerebral complex suggests a physiological role as neurohormones. The effects of the synthetic pyrokinis were clearly distinguishable in their actions on the hyperneural muscle. Regarding the threshold concentrations, Pea-PK-2 was only 0.3% as active as Pea-PK-1."xsd:string
