Chemosensory proteins of Locusta migratoria

Insect Molecular Biology, 2003
Abstract Two different classes of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in Locusta migratoria have been identified on the basis of the molecular cloning of a series of different cDNAs from the antennae of this insect.

Soluble proteins in chemosensory organs of phasmids

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996
Soluble proteins of low molecular weight have been purified from chemosensory organs of five species of Phasmids. On the basis of their N-terminal amino acid sequences, two classes can be identified. Polypeptides of 14 and 15 kDa, expressed in the antennae and legs of Eurycantha calcarata and Extatosoma tiaratum, as well as in the antennae of Carausius

Binding properties of a locust's chemosensory protein

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002
The chemosensory protein CSP-sg4 of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria binds reversibly N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine in fluorescent-binding assays, with a dissociation constant of 4 microM. Upon binding to the protein, the emission peaks of the fluorescent probe undergo a marked blue shift, accompanied by an order of magnitude increase of the maximum ...

Chemosensory proteins of Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2000
We describe a family of proteins abundantly expressed in the chemoreception sensory organs, the antennae and legs, of the desert locust, Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera, Acrididae). Using polymerase chain reaction-based approaches and homology screenings, "OS-D"-like proteins were identified in L. migratoria. The different sub-types (LmigOS-Ds) are very

Identification and analysis of chemosensory genes encoding odorant-binding proteins, chemosensory proteins and sensory neuron membrane proteins in the antennae ofLissorhoptrus oryzophilus

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2021
AbstractThe rice water weevil,Lissorhoptrus oryzophilusKuschel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a destructive pest that causes damage to rice crops worldwide. The olfactory system is critical for host or mate location by weevils, but only limited information about the molecular mechanism of olfaction-related behaviour has been reported in this insect ...
