The full-length cDNA for a trypsin-related protein expressed during larval-pupal metamorphosis was obtained. The encoded N-terminal half of the protein possessed similarity to trypsin proteases, including the correctly positioned histidine and aspartic acid members of the catalytic triad. However, the remainder of the encoded protein bore little resemblance to trypsin, and was altogether missing the canonical sequence containing the catalytic serine residue. The product ofin vitrotranscription/translation of the cDNA was a 28 kDa protein. Under normal conditions of a declining juvenile hormone titer, transcription of the mRNA as a proportion of total genomic transcription steadily increased for the first 3 days of the final stadium, but this increase was delayed and suppressed by maintenance of a high juvenile hormone titer. During the normal increase in transcription on day 3 of the final stadium, a sharp decline was observed in the steady-state abundance of the transcript, measured relative to abundance of the remaining mRNAs, suggesting that the stability of the message decreases after tissue commitment for a pupal molt.
