The Takeout family. A. Takeout gene expression (to1, to2 and to3) in response to sugar starvation and re-feeding. Expression was determined by qRT-PCR in 4-day-old adult female mosquitoes (normal) and 24-h sugar-starved and sugar re-fed (after 24-h starvation) mosquitoes. The standard error for three replicate assays is indicated with bars. B. Dendogram of three putative takeout proteins of A. gambiae (Ag04263, Ag12703, and Ag04262; with the last 5 numbers of the ENSEMBL AGAP IDs), A. aegypti takeout protein (Ae11966; the last 5 numbers of the VectorBase gene ID number), and two D. melanogaster takeout proteins (Dm11853 and Dm11854; the last 5 numbers of the Genbank accession number). The full gene IDs are mentioned in the main text.
