The carboxypeptidase B and carbonic anhydrase genes play a reproductive regulatory role during multiple matings in Ophraella communa [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) are key factors in sexual reproduction and are transferred to females during mating with sperm. SFPs have a nutritional value because they protect and activate sperm storage and release to optimize fecundity.

Peptidoglycan architecture dictates protein interactions, tissue tropism, and arthritis in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness transmitted by infected Ixodes spp. ticks. Dissemination of the Lyme spirochete-Borrelia burgdorferi-from the tick bite site results in a bi-phasic infection; the latter phase can cause severe musculoskeletal ...

Genes from Carboxypeptidase A, glutathione S-transferase, and cytochrome b families were found involved in lead transport in insect Musca domestica

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Lead (Pb) is a typical toxic contamination source all over the world. In this research, larvae of the housefly (Musca domestica) were fed a Pb-contaminated diet at different Pb doses of 0, 20 and 5000 mg/kg. RNA sequencing was used to identify genes that
