Fig. 2. (A) Full-length (122 kDa) Acp36DE and its 68 kDa processing product in the
seminal receptacles (top) or spermathecae (bottom) of 90 females at 0.33 h or
2 h after the start of mating to wild-type males or to males transferring
seminal fluids but no sperm. A cross-reactive protein band at 75 kDa serves as
a loading control. Results were similar in repeats of this experiment. (B)
Full-length (122 kDa) and processed (68 kDa;
Bertram et al., 1996) Acp36DE
in the seminal receptacle and spermathecae of 90 females mated with wild-type
males 0.17 h or 1 h after the start of mating.
