Chemosensory Proteins: A Versatile Binding Family

2019
Chemosensory Proteins (CSPs), a family of small soluble polypeptides, own their name to their highly abundant expression in chemosensory organs of insects. However, CSPs are extremely versatile and perform different tasks in chemical communication, but also in unrelated functions, such as development and insecticide resistance.

Purification and molecular cloning of chemosensory proteins fromBombyx mori

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2000
Soluble low molecular weight acidic proteins are suspected to transport stimulus molecules to the sensory neurons within insect sensilla. From the antennae of Bombyx mori, we have purified and sequenced a protein (BmorCSP1) bearing sequence similarity to a class of soluble chemosensory proteins recently discovered in several orders of insects. Based on

Expression of odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in some Hymenoptera

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005
The expression of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in individuals of different castes and ages have been monitored in three species of social hymenopterans, Polistes dominulus (Hymenoptera, Vespidae), Vespa crabro (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) and Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera, Apidae), using PCR with specific primers and ...

Chemosensory proteins, major salivary factors in caterpillar mandibular glands

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012
Research in the field of insect-host plant interactions has indicated that constituents of insect saliva play an important role in digestion and affect host chemical defense responses. However, most efforts have focused on studying the composition and function of regurgitant or saliva produced in the labial glands.

Seven-Transmembrane Proteins as Odorant and Chemosensory Receptors

Science, 1999
The olfactory systems of various species solve the challenging problem of general molecular recognition in widely differing ways. Despite this variety, the molecular receptors are invariably G protein–coupled seven-transmembrane proteins, and are encoded by the largest gene families known to exist in a given animal genome.

Chemosensory protein 8 confers thiamethoxam resistance in Diaphorina citri

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
The Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) serves as the primary vector of the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), which is responsible for causing citrus Huanglongbing. Neonicotinoid pesticides such as thiamethoxam are frequently utilized for D.

Structure of Bombyx mori chemosensory protein 1 in solution

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2007
AbstractChemosensory Proteins (CSPs) represent a family of conserved proteins found in insects that may be involved in chemosensory functions. BmorCSP1 is expressed mainly in antennae and legs of the silkworm moth Bombyx mori and was cloned from antennal cDNA. Here we report the determination of the structure of Bombyx mori CSP1 (BmorCSP1) by NMR.

Soluble proteins from chemosensory organs of Eurycantha calcarata (Insects, Phasmatodea)

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2000
Three related nucleotide sequences, encoding mature proteins of 108-113 amino acids, have been obtained from antennal cDNA of the Phasmid Eurycantha calcarata. Among these, one is also expressed in the tarsi as demonstrated by N-terminal sequence and mass spectrometric analyses of protein samples isolated from both organs.

Insect Chemosensory Proteins against COVID-19

Med Discoveries
This article describes a novel strategy to fight SARS-CoV-2 infection by employing tiny soluble binding proteins called “Odorant Binding Proteins” (OBPs), “Niemann-Pick Type C2 (NPC2s)”, and “Chemosensory Proteins” (CSPs). The possible interactions between these proteins and sensory receptors are not relevant to COVID-19.

Genome mining and sequence analysis of chemosensory soluble proteins in arthropods

2020
Identifying protein-coding genes from genome and transcriptome data is the first and one of the most important steps towards their comprehensive study. This chapter introduces both general procedures for sequence mining, and specific approaches for recognizing characteristic motives and chemical properties in soluble proteins potentially involved in ...
