  • Title: [Protein and RNA synthesis in larvae of the yellow mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor) during cooling and cold acclimatization].

    Journal: Ukr Biokhim Zh (1978); 1996; 68(1):88-91. PubMed ID: 8755109.
    Abstract:
    Functioning of protein-synthesis system freeze-avoiding larvae of Tenebrio molitor. (Tenebrinidae family) has been investigated at temperature lowering to 6-8 degrees. It has been shown that mealworms maintain the protein and RNA biosynthesis under cold acclimation (6-8 degrees C). Judging by the angle of inclination of Arrenius of plot reorganization of protein synthesis system takes place in the temperature range 0-10 degrees C. Biosynthesis of proteins at the room and low temperatures is inhibited by cycloheximide while biosynthesis of RNA--by alpha-amanitine.
