Cysteine-Free Proteins in the Immunobiology of Arthropod-Borne Diseases [PDF]
Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2010 One approach to identify epitopes that could be used in the design of vaccines to control several arthropod-borne diseases simultaneously is to look for common structural features in the secretome of the pathogens that cause them. Using a novel bioinformatics technique, cysteine-abundance and distribution analysis, we found that many different proteins

Hemolymph proteins: An overview across marine arthropods and molluscs
Journal of Proteomics, 2021 In this compilation we collect information about the main protein components in hemolymph and stress the continued interest in their study. The reasons for such an attention span several areas of biological, veterinarian and medical applications: from the notions for better dealing with the species - belonging to phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea,

Co-option of a non-retroviral endogenous viral element in planthoppers
Nature Communications, 2023 Non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) are widely dispersed throughout the genomes of eukaryotes. Although nrEVEs are known to be involved in host antiviral immunity, it remains an open question whether they can be domesticated as functional ...

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Arthropod consumption provides amino acids to invertebrates and vertebrates alike, but not all amino acids in arthropods may be digestible as some are bound in the exoskeleton.

The structure and function of thioester-containing proteins in arthropods
Biophysical Reviews, 2014 Thioester-containing proteins (TEPs) form an ancient and diverse family of secreted proteins that play central roles in the innate immune response. Two families of TEPs, complement factors and α2-macroglobulins, have been known and studied in vertebrates for many years, but only in the last decade have crystal structures become available.

Administering and Detecting Protein Marks on Arthropods for Dispersal Research [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016 Monitoring arthropod movement is often required to better understand associated population dynamics, dispersal patterns, host plant preferences, and other ecological interactions. Arthropods are usually tracked in nature by tagging them with a unique mark and then re-collecting them over time and space to determine their dispersal capabilities.

Exploratory analysis reveals arthropod consumption in 10 lemur species using DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
, 2021 Arthropods (insects, spiders, etc.) can fulfill major nutritional requirements for primates, particularly in terms of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Crustins: enigmatic WAP domain-containing antibacterial proteins from crustaceans [PDF]
, 2008 Crustins are antibacterial proteins of ca. 7–14 kDa with a characteristic four-disulphide core-containing whey acidic protein (WAP) domain, expressed by the circulating haemocytes of crustaceans.
