In developing Gallería mellonella larvae (reared at 30°C) three proteins of 74/ 76 and 81/82 kDa were identified. They represent a group of storage proteins (LHP proteins). In Galleria larvae, the development of which is arrested by low temperature (18°C)/ accumulation of the 74, 76 and 81/82 kDa proteins was detected in the hemolymph. The synthesis of 74 kDa and 76 kDa proteins started after 24 h, and that of about 80 kDa after 96 h following the transfer of larvae from 30°C to 18°C. 20-Hydroxyecdysone inhibited synthesis of the 74 and 76 kDa proteins in larvae exposed to low temperature. The arrest of development of Galleria larvae is associated with the synthesis and accumulation of storage proteins, and ecdysteroids are involved in these processes.
