A conserved, immune-regulated peritrophin promotes Vibrio cholerae colonization of the arthropod intestine [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsVibrio cholerae is a human diarrheal pathogen and an estuarine organism that associates with both terrestrial and aquatic arthropods. Using the model terrestrial arthropod Drosophila melanogaster, we previously showed that V.

Vertebrate Responses against Arthropod Salivary Proteins and Their Therapeutic Potential
Vaccines, 2021 The saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains a group of active proteins to counteract host responses against injury and to facilitate the success of a bloodmeal.

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
