The role of tyrosine-O-phosphate as a substrate for tanning of the pupal case ofDrosophilahas been examined. From14C tyrosine label experiments combined with studies on dopa decarboxylase it appears likely that tyrosine-O-phosphate is hydrolyzed prior to participation in the tanning reaction. Subsequent metabolism may be through dopamine andN-acetyl-dopamine, as has been described forCalliphora, although these intermediates are not accumulated inDrosophila. On this basis the tyrosine phosphate may represent only a relatively inert tyrosine reservoir. However, other functions such as a role in transport remain as possibilities.
