Abstract
The complete amino-acid sequences of two isocytochromes c (larval- and adult-type cytochromes c) purified from the housefly Musca domestica L. were determined. Their sequences differed at six positions from each other. More than 90% of the total cytochrome c was larval-type during larval stages. The amount of adult-type cytochrome c increased rapidly from 1 day before adult emergence, making the total cytochrome c content increase to approximately 2.5-times as much cytochrome c content as in larvae. Although the major cytochrome c species in flight muscles was adult-type, imaginal disks contained mainly larval-type cytochrome c.
