Since the publication in 1986 (13,16) of the gastrin/cholecystokinin-like leucosulfakinins (LSK s), several additional insect sulfakinins have been structurally characterized (Table II). The structures of the Drosophila sulfakinins (DSK s) were deduced from a gene sequence which was isolated from Drosophila genomic DNA and head cDNA libraries (17). Although expression of the DSK s remains to be demonstrated, sulfated synthetic replicas are biologically active on the isolated cockroach hindgut (Holman, unpublished observation) as predicted by a study (18) which demonstrated that the hexamer, Tyr(S03)-Gly-His-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2, was the "core structure required for myotropic activity.
