Reduction in Oviposition of Poultry Red Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) in Hens Vaccinated with Recombinant Akirin [PDF]
Vaccines, 2019 The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, is a hematophagous ectoparasite of birds with worldwide distribution that causes economic losses in the egg-production sector of the poultry industry. Traditional control methods, mainly based on acaricides, have been only partially successful, and new vaccine-based interventions are required for the ...

Identification, Expression, Characteristic Analysis, and Immune Function of Two Akirin Genes in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Intensive aquaculture of grass carp often leads to decreased immunity and increased disease prevalence, resulting in economic losses. Improving grass carp immunity is therefore a critical strategy for addressing these challenges.

Evolution of the multifaceted eukaryotic akirin gene family [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Akirins are nuclear proteins that form part of an innate immune response pathway conserved in Drosophila and mice. This studies aim was to characterise the evolution of akirin gene structure and protein function in the eukaryotes.akirin genes are present throughout the metazoa and arose before the separation of animal, plant and fungi lineages.

Mosquito Akirin as a potential antigen for malaria control [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2014 The control of vector-borne diseases is important to improve human and animal health worldwide. Malaria is one of the world's deadliest diseases and is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which are transmitted by Anopheles spp. mosquitoes.

Evolutionary plasticity in the innate immune function of Akirin [PDF]
PLOS Genetics, 2017 ABSTRACT Eukaryotic gene expression requires the coordinated action of transcription factors, chromatin remodelling complexes and RNA polymerase. The conserved nuclear protein Akirin plays a central role in immune gene expression in insects and mammals, linking the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex with the ...

Subolesin/Akirin Vaccines for the Control of Arthropod Vectors and Vectorborne Pathogens [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2013 Diseases transmitted by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and sand flies greatly impact human and animal health, and therefore, their control is important for the eradication of vectorborne diseases (VBD). Vaccination is an environmentally friendly alternative for vector control that allows control of several VBD by targeting their common ...

A Novel Combined Scientific and Artistic Approach for the Advanced Characterization of Interactomes: The Akirin/Subolesin Model [PDF]
Vaccines, 2020 The main objective of this study was to propose a novel methodology to approach challenges in molecular biology. Akirin/Subolesin (AKR/SUB) are vaccine protective antigens and are a model for the study of the interactome due to its conserved function in the regulation of different biological processes such as immunity and development throughout the ...

Identification and comparative analysis of subolesin/akirin ortholog from Ornithodoros turicata ticks [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Subolesin is an evolutionary conserved molecule in diverse arthropod species that play an important role in the regulation of genes involved in immune responses, blood digestion, reproduction and development. In this study, we have identified a subolesin ortholog from soft ticks Ornithodoros turicata, the vector of the relapsing fever spirochete in the

Tick subolesin is an ortholog of the akirins described in insects and vertebrates
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2009 The tick protective antigen, subolesin, is a regulatory protein involved in the control of multiple cellular pathways. Subolesin is evolutionary conserved in invertebrates and vertebrates with sequence homology to akirins, a recently renamed group of proteins that were proposed to function as transcription factors in Drosophila and mice.
