Lysosomal inhibitors (amino acid methyl esters) and the platelet-derived growth factor stimulate the resting NIH 3T3 cells to enter the S period. Incubation of cells in the medium containing lysosomal inhibitors enhances protein accumulation and seemingly does not disrupt lysosomes.

Three amino acid-derived compounds were identified in extracts from the pheromone glands of the scarab beetle Phyllophaga elenans, i.e., L-isoleucine methyl ester (LIME), N-formyl L-isoleucine methyl ester (For-LIME), and N-acetyl L-isoleucine methyl ester (Ac-LIME). The compounds were characterized from their
L-Amino acid esters, such as leucine methyl ester (Leu-OMe) can destroy intracellular as well as isolated amastigotes of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis by a mechanism which may involve ester hydrolysis by parasite enzymes. We show here that several other esters prevented

This study offers experimental evidence for the existence of three pheromone races of the northern genitalic form of Phyllophaga anxia: one race in which females produce and males respond mainly to L-valine methyl ester, a second producing and responding to

Two-day rhythms, referred to as circa'bi'dian rhythms, have been reported in humans and mosquitos. However, these rhythms only appear under constant conditions, and the functional mechanisms of 2-day rhythms were unknown. Here, we report clear circabidian rhythms of large black
