Non-Structural Proteins of Arthropod-Borne Bunyaviruses: Roles and Functions [PDF]

Viruses, 2013
Viruses within the Bunyaviridae family are tri-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses. The family includes several emerging and re-emerging viruses of humans, animals and plants, such as Rift Valley fever virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus ...

The effect of polygenic cotransformed Populus × euramericana cv. neva on major arhtropod populations [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Poplar (Populus SPP.) is an important model species in forest research. With the development of transgenic technology, the genetic transformation of poplar with multi-gene resistance to insect pests and saline-alkali stress has been ...

Insights into the molecular evolution of peptidase inhibitors in arthropods. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Peptidase inhibitors are key proteins involved in the control of peptidases. In arthropods, peptidase inhibitors modulate the activity of peptidases involved in endogenous physiological processes and peptidases of the organisms with which they interact ...

An Anaplasma phagocytophilum T4SS effector, AteA, is essential for tick infection

mBio, 2023
Pathogens must adapt to disparate environments in permissive host species, a feat that is especially pronounced for vector-borne microbes, which transition between vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors to complete their lifecycles.

Overview of protein posttranslational modifications in Arthropoda venoms

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2022
Accidents with venomous animals are a public health issue worldwide. Among the species involved in these accidents are scorpions, spiders, bees, wasps, and other members of the phylum Arthropoda. The knowledge of the function of proteins present in these

Complex evolutionary dynamics of massively expanded chemosensory receptor families in an extreme generalist chelicerate herbivore [PDF]

, 2016
While mechanisms to detoxify plant produced, anti-herbivore compounds have been associated with plant host use by herbivores, less is known about the role of chemosensory perception in their life histories.

The distribution of GYR- and YLP-like motifs in Drosophila suggests a general role in cuticle assembly and other protein-protein interactions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Arthropod cuticle is composed predominantly of a self-assembling matrix of chitin and protein. Genes encoding structural cuticular proteins are remarkably abundant in arthropod genomes, yet there has been no systematic survey of conserved ...

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]

, 2020
Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

The Globin Gene Family in Arthropods: Evolution and Functional Diversity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions ...
