Manduca sexta Hemolymph Proteinase 21 Activates Prophenoloxidase-activating Proteinase 3 in an Insect Innate Immune Response Proteinase Cascade

Melanization, an insect immune response, requires a set of hemolymph proteins including pathogen recognition proteins that initiate the response, a cascade of mostly unknown serine proteinases, and phenoloxidase. Until now, only initial and final proteinases in the pathways have been conclusively id...
