Hemocyte differentiation mediates the mosquito late-phase immune response against Plasmodium in Anopheles gambiae.

abstract：:Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) usually catalyze the biosynthesis of peptide natural products by sequential selection, activation, and condensation of amino acid precursors. It was reported that some fatty acids, α-ketoacids, and α-hydroxyacids originating from amino acid metabolism as well as polyketide-deri...
