The mosquito melanization response requires hierarchical activation of non-catalytic clip domain serine protease homologs

Serine protease cascades regulate important insect immune responses namely melanization and Toll pathway activation. An important component of these cascades are clip-domain serine protease homologs (cSPHs), which are non-catalytic, but essential for activating the enzyme prophenoloxidase (PPO) in t...
