Diapause-associated protein3 functions as Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase in the Chinese oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi).

To better understand the molecular mechanism underlying of diapause in Antheraea pernyi (A. pernyi), we cloned a novel diapause-associated protein 3 (DAP3) gene from A. pernyi by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and studied the biological functions. Sequence analysis revealed...
