Question

Which of these is not part of insect immunity? A. enzyme activation of pathogen-killing chemicals B. activation of natural killer cells C. phagocytosis by hemocytes D. production of antimicrobial peptides

Answer 1

Insect immunity doesn't include the property of an enzyme activation of pathogen-killing chemicals.

What is enzyme activation of pathogen?

Due to various trehalose's importance in pathogenic organisms, there has lately been a surge of interest in trehalose metabolism for therapeutic applications.

• TPP (trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase) is an important enzyme in the most important biosynthetic pathway (OtsAB).
• The enzyme properties of recombinant TPPs from five key nematode and bacterial pathogens, including three new members of this protein family, are compared here.
• The kinetics of trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolysis demonstrate that all five enzymes exhibit burst-like kinetic behaviour, defined by a drop in enzymatic rate beyond the pre-steady state.
• Multiple global conformational changes in members of this enzyme family during substrate processing can explain the observed super-stoichiometric burst amplitudes.

Hence, the correct answer is option A
