Abstract:
The Malays have long utilized natural resources to meet their daily basic needs. Natural resources serve as the basis not only in nutrition, medicine, and equipment but also the basis of inspiration in Malay art. It begins with careful observation and reasoning and then the natural resources are utilized wisely by the Malays. Since most of them live in villages, life is well integrated with the rural environment such as plants, and other various natural elements. With the concept of hometown, they make nature to fulfill their economic and social functions and, also to fill the gap between ethical and aesthetical values, for cultural development. This paper discusses the concept of mimesis or imitation by Malay artisans in the production of art and design motifs. The objective of this study was to document the concept of mimesis in the production of Malay art. There are many art and design motifs that are sourced from nature. It is based on the process of imitation is found in songket weaving motifs, weaving, batik, wood carving, telepuk and others. The research of this study is based on observation methods and interviews with individuals and cultural expert figures. It is hoped that every Malay art will continue to be appreciated and understood as a rich artistic heritage with its values and philosophy that support the community and the culture. The essence of such methodology or procedure is to highlight nature as the source of aspiration and inspiration of art treasures that will ensure the greatness of the Malay art universally.

Abstract: This paper investigates the notion of mimesis in Baumgarten's Meditationes (1735), the inaugural text of modern aesthetics, and Die Geburt der Tragödie , as two exemplary texts of aesthetische Wissenschaft . What meanings and functions do they give to 'mimesis' and the Aristotelian doctrine that art is an imitation ( Nachahmung, Abbild ) of nature? The main thesis is that both texts cast art as a Nachahmung of the creative principle of nature (natura naturans), rather than the order of things (natura naturata); a move that displaces traditional (static, dualistic, passive, representational) notions of mimesis with one that is dynamic, creative and tendentially anti-metaphysical, in line with the mimetic turn. They are exemplary texts of aesthetische Wissenschaft because the way they do this places them at opposite ends of metaphysics.

Abstract:
The moment one imitates something, it sticks, it marks the imitator, there is no innocent imitation. Imitation necessarily affects the one who imitates, for better or (usually) for worse, and the making of a simple copy of something necessarily affects the original. This is perhaps the briefest way to describe Plato?s concerns about the nature of mimesis in the Republic. The purpose of this paper is to give a brief account of looking at the mysterious magic powers of mimesis and of attempts to counteract them. The topic is massive, so the paper will concentrate on a few perspectives, starting with the theatrical parable of St. Genesius, leading to Pascal and to Althusser?s theory of ideology, then scrutinizing the ways in which modernity tried to disentangle itself from mimesis (Brecht?s estrangement, Irigaray?s femininity as mimesis, Badiou?s anti-mimetic stance, Freud?s account of magic and Lacan?s account of enjoyment). What is the real of the mimetic spell which has so vastly ramified aesthetic and political consequences? The paper proposes a defense of mimesis, claiming that modernity, by relegating the traditional art to the past of mimesis and representation, thereby maintained a disavowed kernel of mimesis at its core.

Abstract:
In light of the paradigm shift which in Theatre Studies led to the emergence of a new (post)discipline that takes the notion of performance as its cornerstone, this essay discusses the productive convergence between mimesis and ‘restored behaviour’, namely the key process of every kind of performance in art, ritual, and ordinary life. This convergence can improve the understanding of the mimetic condition in the twenty-first century, provided we rely on a postmodern and, at the same time, pre-Platonic conception of mimesis. Even though ‘restored behaviour’ is not the same as mimesis, evidence for their proximity can be found in neuroscientist Merlin Donald’s theory of the evolution of the human mind, in which he locates a pre-verbal stage named ‘mimetic culture’. A final section draws some arguments from cognitive perspectives in evolutionary studies on literature in order to show how mimesis and performativity are likely to emerge as a pre-literary layer, confronting the present-day post-literary condition.

Abstract:
The artistic techniques of mimesis—the representation of reality in art—make it possible to “render the unreal familiar or the real strangely unfamiliar.” The author, a composer and intermedia artist, uses mimetic techniques in acoustic composition, video art and field recording to reimagine everyday experience, as in his multimedia piece Landscape: Home. The author analyzes passages from the novel Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami to understand Murakami’s use of “parallel worlds” and the “reality effect.” This literary analysis aims to highlight the potential of mimetic techniques for artistic practice in sound and image, particularly in the author’s Landscape series.

Abstract:
Rhetoric has been characterized throughout its history as an art that must conceal itself to succeed. Two arenas where rhetoric has been most successfully concealed are those of science and technology. This essay explores the general conditions and justifications for the concealment of rhetoric, finding that four principles appear repeatedly in the ancient tradition: suspicion, spontaneity, sincerity, and mimesis. In response, rhetorical art has developed strategies to allay suspicion, create the impression of spontaneity and sincerity, and emphasize the direct mimetic power of language, strategies that themselves must be concealed. Two examples drawn from the rhetoric of science and technology, specifically the discourse of risk analysis, illustrate the operation of rhetorical concealment. The first example, a foundational 1969 scientific article by engineer Chauncey Starr, relies on an unacknowledged rhetoric of pathos; the second, the 1975 Reactor Safety Study by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, relies on an appeal to ethos, disguised as technical expertise.

Abstract:
The idea of mimesis in art theory has been neglected by Byzantine scholars. Reasons for this may lie in the fact that the understanding of the term in Byzantium was very complex and that it changed over time. In the Early Byzantine period and the so-called Macedonian Renaissance, a tendency to use tonal modelling, which was inherited from ancient Greco-Roman art, can still be observed. Starting in the late tenth century they give way to a more linear style. Simultaneously, a change in the understanding of mimesis in theological writings can also be observed. The aim of this paper is to introduce the problem of a mimetic approach in visual arts as a phenomenon in Byzantine culture.

Full text
Abstract:
The project grounds the use of mimesis in my video art practice. In the written element I query equivalence between mimesis and performativity in Judith Butler's conception; I consider the tragic and hyperbolic faculties of these, as ways of promoting expansion of context in received convention. My video clips have performance in them and mime destructive regimes in mainstream conventions of visual culture, of sexual identity and of political position, to challange these. They mobilize convention and deviation from it, through ineptitude of performance or my ambiguous relation to the convention that I use. Butler conceives the generative possibility in regulation (prohibition and/or "law). This is my source for prioritizing failure, and conceiving mimesis a practice of power in modification. Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe is an additional source in my writing, and Luce Irigaray a hovering presence. They are deployed to support my conviction that speculative theory mimes tragic art; Hegelian dialectical philosophy and Freudian psychoanalytic discourse founded in tragic art endow a mutual system of logic and belief that mobilizes rejection of 'difference'. In these tragic discourses mimesis links death and desire. As a force in hyperbole and the constitutive site of all discursive and artistic conventions or tropes, mimesis may suspend as much as confirm the very truths it promotes. Mimesis may turn or exceed anything that can be mimed - I propose. Throughout the project (art practice and written element) I ask - 'how is it possible to re-conceive the terms of the representational conventions to which I object without sharing in the mechanisms that demote those terms?'

Abstract:
Jacques Maritain’s early secular aesthetic theories have been interpreted too hastily. The goal of this study is to offer a more accurate reading of them than has been formulated previously. It is also to appraise them, as regards their merits as explanations of concrete phenomena—this has not been done before. In order to achieve these aims, Maritain’s principal early work on aesthetics Art et scolastique will be analysed at length, herein. The problematic methods by means of which the scholarly tradition has interpreted this book will be examined, and their influence on its reception will be assessed. Maritain’s elementary philosophy will be described, insofar as it is related to his early aesthetics. A sketch of Art et scolastique will be drawn, in order to clarify the various purposes to which Maritain puts its disparate sections. This is necessary, if confusion is to be avoided. Maritain’s new early secular aesthetic theories will then be identified, and evaluated. Special attention will be paid to his early theory of mimesis, which is quite ingenious. It will be shown that his new early secular aesthetic theories are far more original and far more penetrating than they have been represented to be, even by those scholars who are most under Maritain’s spell. As a result, it will be seen that these theories deserve much closer consideration than they have so far received.

Hoekstra, Daan. "Severance and continuance—mimesis in relation to Sacha Kagan's "Art and Sustainability"." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/59850.

Full text
Abstract:
Sacha Kagan’s Art and Sustainability refers to four fragments from Heraclitus as exemplifying “an aesthetic sensibility to complexity.” Kagan’s book, however, deals mostly with art in the 20th-21st centuries, without addressing links between Heraclitus’ time and the present. This thesis addresses the historical gap by suggesting that Western traditions of mimesis in the visual arts provided continuity of the sensuous immersion in the environment, in spite of the severance that occurred, according to David Abram, when culture transitioned from oral traditions to written language, and from a pictographic mode into an alphabetic mode. I make legible the connections between the thought of Heraclitus, artistic practice in the Western tradition of naturalistic painting, and the work of John Ruskin, William Morris and Ludwig von Bertalanffy, contending that mimetic traditions retained the thought of Heraclitus and Pythagoras, in methodologies of practice that became a sort of proto-systems-thinking and proto-complexity-theory. Through Ruskin and Morris, these mimetic traditions, about a way of seeing, led directly to 20th century environmentalism and concepts of sustainability. Through Bertalanffy, knowledge from the mimetic traditions led directly to the genesis of 20th century systems theory. Discussion of these issues is nested within a broader analysis of the several narratives about how environmental problems are the result of multiple cases of severance, schism that separated humans, intellectually, psychically and physically, from the sensuous immersion in the “more-than-human” to which Abram refers. I emphasize both the need to take stock of the resilient strands of rooted pre-modern cultural traditions that continued in spite of severance and the need to understand and study severance as a recurring historical phenomenon. I point out the way in which ancient influences frequently revitalize culture, contending that pre-modern mimetic traditions carry important ecological knowledge.

Resumo: A teoria da mímesis na filosofia de Platão, quase sempre vista no âmbito estético, foi na maioria das vezes interpretada na tradição filosófica e literária como uma teoria negativa. Acreditamos que isso decorre de uma leitura e interpretação um tanto apressada dos diálogos, que não considera o aspecto educacional da atividade mimética. Uma teoria da educação em Platão jamais poderá se dissociar da questão da mímesis. Divergindo da interpretação corrente, que tem destacado mais o papel negativo da mímesis na formação do homem, esta tese tem o intuito de investigar o caráter positivo da mímesis platônica no processo de aprendizagem e aquisição de conhecimentos para a formação moral. Destacando-se a importância dessa mesma teoria na trajetória intelectual desse filósofo, partimos de um pressuposto ou hipótese de que Platão revisa a teoria da mímesis no seu último diálogo as Leis, acentuando sua importância na formação moral da psykhé.
Abstract: The theory of mimesis on Plato's philosophy it almost always was seen in aesthetics sphere and it was interpreted in philosophic and literary tradition like a negative theory. We need that your cause was the accelerate reading and analysis that not considered the educational aspect of mimetic activity. Plato's the theory of education could never set apart the mimesis issue. In contrast with the current interpretative thread, which has pointed out the most the negative aspect of mimesis in men's development, this thesis intends to ferret about the positive aspect of Plato's mimesis in the learning process e knowledge acquisition for the moral development. Emphasizing the importance of this theory the philosopher?s intellectual track, it is supposed that Plato in his last dialog, the Laws, revise the theory of mimesis stressing its importance in moral development of psyche.

Esta tese pretende discutir a história da modernidade como a história do abandono do corpo. A era moderna é a era da mimesis e, como tal, faz da interpretação um componente necessário do horizonte histórico imposto por ela mesma. A interpretação veio para ficar: mas as sucessivas tentativas de apropriação do mundo pelos conceitos anestesiaram os sentidos do homem moderno. Os excessos hermenêuticos contribuíram para um empobrecimento da experiência da arte. A pós-modernidade se abre, para nós, como um novo horizonte histórico, e oferta-se como oportunidade para recuperarmos aquilo que perdemos: o nosso corpo, os nossos próprios sentidos.
This thesis aims at discussing the history of modernity as the history of the abnegation of the body. The modern era is the era of mimesis and, as such, it makes of interpretation a necessary component of the historic horizon imposed through modernity itself. Interpretation is here to stay: but the successive attempts of world appropriation by concepts anesthetized the senses of the modern man. The hermeneutic excesses contributed to an impoverishment of art experience. Post-modernity opens itself for us as a new historic horizon, offering the opportunity to recover what we have lost: our body, our senses themselves.

Abstract:
Having given the concept of �absolute music� a negative connotation in 1846, Richard Wagner not only inspired discussions about the correlation of form and content in music, but also affected painters, who were looking for the ideal of non-mimetic meaning-generating strategies in music, and whose art was specified as the �Wagnerian painting� by French critic Theodore de Wyzewa. Using the historical and the comparative approaches, as well as the semantic and structural analysis of the expressive means in music and painting, the paper: 1) considers Wyzewa�s programme with regard to certain correlations of his ideas with the thoughts of his predecessors; 2) interprets three steps of Wyzewa�s gnoseological algorithm (from �reality� to �consciousness�) as the correlate to components of sense-making in Wagnerian dramas: the �sensation� is generated by the pure sense of musical material, the �notion� is similar to the extra-musical meaning of leitmotifs, the �emotion� is the essence of an artwork; 3) projects this algorithm onto the Wagnerian painter�s creative process; 4) demonstrates various non-mimetic strategies of the meaning formation in painting, close to the algorithm for connecting extra-musical and immanent musical meanings in Wagnerian dramas; 5) discusses the epistemological mechanism in the process of perceiving the �Wagnerian painting�: from a purely visual impression (like �sensation�) � through actualizing cultural memory and an artist�s intentions (intellectual mediation, �notion�) � to super-intellectual reflection (synthetic �emotion�). The paper will specifically concern itself with the creative process in the fin de siecle era and to renew the ideas about the basis of synthesis of arts. As it is the art of Henri Fantin-Latour that is considered as the example of the Wagnerian painting by Wyzewa himself, the article will focus on this oeuvre in particular.

Abstract:
We are developing a methodology aimed at the design of new forms of motion that are more attractive to the human mind by blending motions obtained by mimicking the movement of natural objects. In this methodology, we focus on mimetic (reality-symbolic) words. Mimetic words express appearance and movements and can be understood as potential representations of those motions that are difficult to describe verbally. In this study, our objective is to create extremely creative and emotional motions from newly expressed mimetic words; just as new music is created from unique scores. First, we develop a method to decompose a newly expressed mimetic word into known mimetic words and actualise this method in the form of a tool. We then propose a procedure for creating a new motion from a newly expressed mimetic word.

Abstract:
O Mito de Apolo e Daphne é um dos mais recorrentes em toda a Antiguidade e também um dos que apresentam várias versões. Em todas elas, o ponto em comum é a fuga de Daphne das investidas amorosas de Apolo, culminando com a sua transformação em Loureiro. É esse o momento que Bernin imortaliza em sua escultura, que compõe o grupo borghesiano integrando o conjunto que retoma uma série de narrativas míticas. Influenciada pela cultura helenística e pelas estátuas desse período do qual faz parte o laocoonte, a estátua de Bernini se caracteriza pelo movimento espiralado e pelo dramatismo da cena representada, típico da representação desse período que valorizava o ápice da ação, seu clímax. O momento em que todo o drama se revela conferindo um ar teatral à cena. Além disso, deve-se notar o extremo realismo com que essas obras foram dotadas: as texturas das carnes, a riqueza de detalhes e a construção dos rostos. Nesta comunicação, pretendemos fazer um cotejo entre a descrição do mito de Apolo e Daphne descrito na literatura latina nas Metamorfoses, de Ovídio, através da análise profunda do léxico latino utilizado por esse autor, relacionando-a com os detalhes escultóricos de Bernini. Embora a questão da mimesis permeie nosso cotejo literário-escultural, seja ela considerada pelo lado platônico ou aristotélico, a questão artística, considerando-se também a questão da presença ou não da imitatio latina, já se constitui numa realidade: a verossimilhança inter artes, a literatura e a escultura. É essa verossimilhança que pretendemos analisar e discutir até que ponto a escultura de Bernini foi fiel ao texto latino, ou se fez dele apenas um ponto de partido, preservando apenas, senão o texto, a emoção do momento que este conseguiu imprimir em suas linhas.

Abstract:
In the Japanese language, onomatopoeic words occupy an indispensable part of the lexicon. In particular, mimetic words used for laughing are the most iconic words. Some scholars point out that the alternation of phoneme type or manners of articulation are the expression of emotional overtones (Tamori 2002). For instance, the simple vowel /a/ conveys ‘cheerful, nice and pleasant laughs,’ while the constriction vowel /o/ signifies ‘more feminine and graceful.’ However, only a few studies focus on the symbolism of Chinese sounds in mimetic expressions. Therefore, further exploring the sound symbolism of Chinese mimetic words becomes essential. The principal purposes of this thesis are: 1) To explore the sound symbolism of onomatopoeia for laughing, which may help identify the differences between vowels; 2) to examine the relationship between the characteristics of onomatopoeia and the elements of culture in regard to the morphological and grammatical aspects of Japanese and Chinese. The sentences were collected from the corpus for Sino-Japanese translation. Consequently, it was found that 401 Japanese texts consisted of 155 onomatopoeias and 246 mimetic words; 281 Chinese texts consisted of 251 onomatopoeias and 30 mimetic words. Established from the collected corpus data, the sound and meaning of the words containing /a/ and /ei / in Chinese onomatopoeia and mimetic words were alike to those of the Japanese /a/ and /e/. Notably, Japanese texts containing the vowel /u/ are incredibly similar to Chinese texts that contain the vowel /i/. Although most Japanese onomatopoeia and mimetic expressions function as adverbs, this trend is not maintained in Chinese translations, and the use of verbs and adjectives is more frequent.

Abstract:
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are grassroots organizations that provide equitable access to financial capital. While a robust body of evidence supports the ability of CDFIs to promote holistic and sustainable development, attempts to systematically evaluate the industry have yielded disparate and often confounding results. We apply an institutional theory lens to examine challenges to meaningful data collection, impact measurement, and program evaluation. Our data show how regulators, major funders, and third-party rating organizations have applied indirect and direct pressures that have systematically lowered the capacity of nonprofit CDFI loan funds. This combination of coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphic forces has (1) hampered meaningful data collection, (2) created a lack of staff expertise in these areas, (3) raised the cost and complexity of utilizing technology systems to improve evaluation processes, and (4) fostered industry norms which de-prioritize meaningful evaluation. The data suggest several ways for stakeholders to improve these trends. For example, funders might consider providing support which builds organizational capacity via unrestricted operating grants and recurring financial commitments.

United States Department of Agriculture, December 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2013.7699857.bard.

Abstract:
Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) play a pivotal role in excitability and are a prime target of insecticides like pyrethroids. Yet, these insecticides are non-specific due to conservation of Navs in animals, raising risks to the environment and humans. Moreover, insecticide overuse leads to resistance buildup among insect pests, which increases misuse and risks. This sad reality demands novel, more selective, insect killers whose alternative use would avoid or reduce this pressure. As highly selective insect toxins exist in venomous animals, why not exploit this gift of nature and harness them in insect pest control? Many of these peptide toxins target Navs, and since their direct use via transformed crop plants or mediator microorganisms is problematic in public opinion, we focus on the elucidation of their receptor binding sites with the incentive of raising knowledge for design of toxin peptide mimetics. This approach is preferred nowadays by agro-industries in terms of future production expenses and public concern. However, characterization of a non-continuous epitope, that is the channel receptor binding site for such toxins, requires a suitable experimental system. We have established such a system within more than a decade and reached the stage where we employ a number of different insect-selective toxins for the identification of their receptor sites on Navs. Among these toxins we wish to focus on those that bind at receptor site-3 and inhibit Nav inactivation because: (1) We established efficient experimental systems for production and manipulation of site-3 toxins from scorpions and sea anemones. These peptides vary in size and structure but compete for site-3 on insect Navs. Moreover, these toxins exhibit synergism with pyrethroids and with other channel ligands; (2) We determined their bioactive surfaces towards insect and mammalian receptors (see list of publications); (3) We found that despite the similar mode of action on channel inactivation, the preference of the toxins for insect and mammalian channel subtypes varies greatly, which can direct us to structural features in the basis of selectivity; (4) We have identified by channel loop swapping and point mutagenesis extracellular segments of the Navinvolved with receptor site-3. On this basis and using channel scanning mutagenesis, neurotoxin binding, electrophysiological analyses, and structural data we offer: (i) To identify the residues that form receptor site-3 at insect and mammalian Navs; (ii) To identify by comparative analysis differences at site-3 that dictate selectivity toward various Navs; (iii) To exploit the known toxin structures and bioactive surfaces for modeling their docking at the insect and mammalian channel receptors. The results of this study will enable rational design of novel anti-insect peptide mimetics with minimized risks to human health and to the environment. We anticipate that the release of receptor site-3 molecular details would initiate a worldwide effort to design peptide mimetics for that site. This will establish new strategies in insect pest control using alternative insecticides and the combined use of compounds that interact allosterically leading to increased efficiency and reduced risks to humans or resistance buildup among insect pests.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper investigates how and why firms affected by Emissions Trading Schemes (ETSs) are financially accounting for carbon in a voluntary setting. Using institutional theory, the authors seek to identify the determinants of a firm’s decision to adopt a particular carbon financial accounting practice. We identify the recognition and measurement practices for carbon-emission allowances using data gathered from the annual reports of ETS-affected firms in Australia. These practices are identified in the five stages of carbon-emission allowance transactions, namely, when these are: (1) received for free, (2) purchased, (3) used, (4) sold, and (5) surrendered. Inconsistencies in carbon financial accounting practices are observed. The findings reveal that carbon-emission allowances are recorded as intangible assets, but most firms provide incomplete information on their carbon financial accounting practices. Firms also exhibit inconsistencies in specifying how they are ‘recognising’ and ‘measuring’ carbon-emission allowances. The results provide evidence of coercive (regulation) and mimetic (size, leverage, and listing status) pressures being the main determinants of carbon financial accounting practice.

Full text
Abstract:
The general objective of this BARD project focused on rationally designed insect neuropeptide (NP) agonists and antagonists, their application for the characterization of the mechanisms of action of the pyrokinin/PBAN (PK-PBAN) family and the development of biostable, bioavailable versions that can provide the basis for development of novel, environmentally-friendly pest insect control agents. The specific objectives of the study, as originally proposed, were to: (i) Test stimulatory potencies of rationally designed backbone cyclic (BBC) peptides on pheromonotropic, melanotropic, myotropic and pupariation activities; (ii) Test the inhibitory potencies of the BBC compounds on the above activities evoked either by synthetic peptides (PBAN, LPK, myotropin and pheromonotropin) or by the natural endogenous mechanism; (iii) Determine the bioavailability of the most potent BBC compounds that will be found in (ii); (iv) Design, synthesize and examine novel PK/PBAN analogs with enhanced bioavailability and receptor binding; (v) Design and synthesize ‘magic bullet’ analogs and examine their ability to selectively kill cells expressing the PK/PBAN receptor. To achieve these goals the agonistic and antagonistic activities/properties of rationally designed linear and BBC neuropeptide (NP) were thoroughly studied and the information obtained was further used for the design and synthesis of improved compounds toward the design of an insecticide prototype. The study revealed important information on the structure activity relationship (SAR) of agonistic/antagonistic peptides, including definitive identification of the orientation of the Pro residue as trans for agonist activity in 4 PK/PBANbioassays (pheromonotropic, pupariation, melanotropic, & hindgut contractile) and a PK-related CAP₂b bioassay (diuretic); indications that led to the identification of a novel scaffold to develop biostbiostable, bioavailable peptidomimetic PK/PBANagonists/antagonists. The work led to the development of an arsenal of PK/PBAN antagonists with a variety of selectivity profiles; whether between different PKbioassays, or within the same bioassay between different natural elicitors. Examples include selective and non-selective BBC and novel amphiphilic PK pheromonotropic and melanotropic antagonists some of which are capable of penetrating the moth cuticle in efficacious quantities. One of the latter analog group demonstrated unprecedented versatility in its ability to antagonize a broad spectrum of pheromonotropic elicitors. A novel, transPro mimetic motif was proposed & used to develop a strong, selective PK agonist of the melanotropic bioassay in moths. The first antagonist (pure) of PK-related CAP₂b diuresis in flies was developed using a cisPro mimetic motif; an indication that while a transPro orientation is associated with receptor agonism, a cisPro orientation is linked with an antagonist interaction. A novel, biostablePK analog, incorporating β-amino acids at key peptidase-susceptible sites, exhibited in vivo pheromonotropic activity that by far exceeded that of PBAN when applied topically. Direct analysis of neural tissue by state-of-the-art MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry was used to identify specific PK/PK-related peptides native to eight arthropod pest species [house (M. domestica), stable (S. calcitrans), horn (H. irritans) & flesh (N. bullata) flies; Southern cattle fever tick (B. microplus), European tick (I. ricinus), yellow fever mosquito (A. aegypti), & Southern Green Stink Bug (N. viridula)]; including the unprecedented identification of mass-identical Leu/Ile residues and the first identification of NPs from a tick or the CNS of Hemiptera. Evidence was obtained for the selection of Neb-PK-2 as the primary pupariation factor of the flesh fly (N. bullata) among native PK/PK-related candidates. The peptidomic techniques were also used to map the location of PK/PK-related NP in the nervous system of the model fly D. melanogaster. Knowledge of specific PK sequences can aid in the future design of species specific (or non-specific) NP agonists/antagonists. In addition, the study led to the first cloning of a PK/PBAN receptor from insect larvae (S. littoralis), providing the basis for SAR analysis for the future design of 2ⁿᵈgeneration selective and/or nonselective agonists/antagonists. Development of a microplate ligand binding assay using the PK/PBAN pheromone gland receptor was also carried out. The assay will enable screening, including high throughput, of various libraries (chemical, molecular & natural product) for the discovery of receptor specific agonists/antagonists. In summary, the body of work achieves several key milestones and brings us significantly closer to the development of novel, environmentally friendly pest insect management agents based on insect PK/PBANNPs capable of disrupting critical NP-regulated functions.

Abstract:
The general objective of this study was to develop rationally designed mimetic antagonists (and agonists) of the PK/PBAN Np class with enhanced bio-stability and bioavailability as prototypes for effective and environmentally friendly pest insect management agents. The PK/PBAN family is a multifunctional group of Nps that mediates key functions in insects (sex pheromone biosynthesis, cuticular melanization, myotropic activity, diapause and pupal development) and is, therefore, of high scientific and applied interest. The objectives of the current study were: (i) to identify an antagonist biophores (ii) to develop an arsenal of amphiphilic topically active PK/PBAN antagonists with an array of different time-release profiles based on the previously developed prototype analog; (iii) to develop rationally designed non-peptide SMLs based on the antagonist biophore determined in (i) and evaluate them in cloned receptor microplate binding assays and by pheromonotropic, melanotropic and pupariation in vivo assays. (iv) to clone PK/PBAN receptors (PK/PBAN-Rs) for further understanding of receptor-ligand interactions; (v) to develop microplate binding assays for screening the above SMLs. In the course of the granting period A series of amphiphilic PK/PBAN analogs based on a linear lead antagonist from the previous BARD grant was synthesized that incorporated a diverse array of hydrophobic groups (HR-Suc-A[dF]PRLa). Others were synthesized via the attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers. A hydrophobic, biostablePK/PBAN/DH analog DH-2Abf-K prevented the onset of the protective state of diapause in H. zea pupae [EC50=7 pmol/larva] following injection into the preceding larval stage. It effectively induces the crop pest to commit a form of ‘ecological suicide’. Evaluation of a set of amphiphilic PK analogs with a diverse array of hydrophobic groups of the formula HR-Suc-FTPRLa led to the identification of analog T-63 (HR=Decyl) that increased the extent of diapause termination by a factor of 70% when applied topically to newly emerged pupae. Another biostablePK analog PK-Oic-1 featured anti-feedant and aphicidal properties that matched the potency of some commercial aphicides. Native PK showed no significant activity. The aphicidal effects were blocked by a new PEGylated PK antagonist analog PK-dF-PEG4, suggesting that the activity is mediated by a PK/PBAN receptor and therefore indicative of a novel and selective mode-of-action. Using a novel transPro mimetic motif (dihydroimidazole; ‘Jones’) developed in previous BARD-sponsored work, the first antagonist for the diapause hormone (DH), DH-Jo, was developed and shown to block over 50% of H. zea pupal diapause termination activity of native DH. This novel antagonist development strategy may be applicable to other invertebrate and vertebrate hormones that feature a transPro in the active core. The research identifies a critical component of the antagonist biophore for this PK/PBAN receptor subtype, i.e. a trans-oriented Pro. Additional work led to the molecular cloning and functional characterization of the DH receptor from H. zea, allowing for the discovery of three other DH antagonist analogs: Drosophila ETH, a β-AA analog, and a dF analog. The receptor experiments identified an agonist (DH-2Abf-dA) with a maximal response greater than native DH. ‘Deconvolution’ of a rationally-designed nonpeptide heterocyclic combinatorial library with a cyclic bis-guanidino (BG) scaffold led to discovery of several members that elicited activity in a pupariation acceleration assay, and one that also showed activity in an H. zea diapause termination assay, eliciting a maximal response of 90%. Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a CAP2b antidiuretic receptor from the kissing bug (R. prolixus) as well as the first CAP2b and PK receptors from a tick was also achieved. Notably, the PK/PBAN-like receptor from the cattle fever tick is unique among known PK/PBAN and CAP2b receptors in that it can interact with both ligand types, providing further evidence for an evolutionary relationship between these two NP families. In the course of the granting period we also managed to clone the PK/PBAN-R of H. peltigera, to express it and the S. littoralis-R Sf-9 cells and to evaluate their interaction with a variety of PK/PBAN ligands. In addition, three functional microplate assays in a HTS format have been developed: a cell-membrane competitive ligand binding assay; a Ca flux assay and a whole cell cAMP ELISA. The Ca flux assay has been used for receptor characterization due to its extremely high sensitivity. Computer homology studies were carried out to predict both receptor’s SAR and based on this analysis 8 mutants have been generated. The bioavailability of small linear antagonistic peptides has been evaluated and was found to be highly effective as sex pheromone biosynthesis inhibitors. The activity of 11 new amphiphilic analogs has also been evaluated. Unfortunately, due to a problem with the Heliothis moth colony we were unable to select those with pheromonotropic antagonistic activity and further check their bioavailability. Six peptides exhibited some melanotropic antagonistic activity but due to the low inhibitory effect the peptides were not further tested for bioavailability in S. littoralis larvae. Despite the fact that no new antagonistic peptides were discovered in the course of this granting period the results contribute to a better understanding of the interaction of the PK/PBAN family of Nps with their receptors, provided several HT assays for screening of libraries of various origin for presence of PK/PBAN-Ragonists and antagonists and provided important practical information for the further design of new, peptide-based insecticide prototypes aimed at the disruption of key neuroendocrine physiological functions in pest insects.
