The Crystal Structure of the Spodoptera litura Chemosensory Protein CSP8. [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Spodoptera litura F. is a generalist herbivore and one of the most important economic pests feeding on about 300 host plants in many Asian countries. Specific insect behaviors can be stimulated after recognizing chemicals in the external environment through conserved chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in chemoreceptive organs, which are critical components ...

A Chemosensory Protein BtabCSP11 Mediates Reproduction in Bemisia tabaci. [PDF]

Front Physiol, 2020
The olfactory system serves a vital role in the evolution and survival of insects, being involved in behaviors such as host seeking, foraging, mating, and oviposition. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are involved in the olfactory recognition process.

Candidate Chemosensory Genes Identified in the Adult Antennae of Sympiezomias velatus and Binding Property of Odorant-Binding Protein 15

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Chemosensory genes play important roles in insect behaviors and have thus become potential molecular targets for pest control based on the manipulation of chemoreception-driven behaviors. The great gray weevil Sympiezomias velatus (Chevrolat) (Coleoptera:

Description of Chemosensory Genes in Unexplored Tissues of the Moth Spodoptera littoralis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Illumina-based transcriptome sequencing of chemosensory organs has become a standard in deciphering the molecular bases of chemical senses in insects, especially in non-model species.

Identification and expression profile analysis of chemosensory genes in pine needle gall midge, Thecodiplosis japonensis (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Insects have highly specialized and sensitive olfactory systems involving several chemosensory genes to locate their mates and hosts or escape from predators.

Chemosensory Proteins from the Proboscis of Mamestra brassicae [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2000
Soluble, low molecular weight proteins were immunodetected in proboscis extracts of Mamestra brassicae males by Western blot, using antibodies raised against the general odorant-binding protein of the moth Antheraea polyphemus. The same antibodies weakly labelled the sensillum lymph and subcuticular space of sensilla styloconica on ultrathin sections ...

Genotyping and Bio-Sensing Chemosensory Proteins in Insects [PDF]

Sensors, 2017
Genotyping is the process of determining differences in the genetic make-up of an individual and comparing it to that of another individual. Focus on the family of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in insects reveals differences at the genomic level across various strains and biotypes, but none at the level of individuals, which could be extremely useful in

Diversity of Odorant-binding Proteins and Chemosensory Proteins in Insects [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2005
Odour and pheromone perception occurs through a complex series of events, many aspects of which have been elucidated in the most recent years. The discovery of membrane-bound olfactory receptors, both in vertebrates and in insects, and their functional expression in heterologous systems have shown that they can be directly activated by odorant and ...

Ligand-Binding Study of Anopheles gambiae Chemosensory Proteins [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2013
Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of small proteins expressed only in arthropods and endowed with heterogeneous functions. Some of them are involved in chemical communications, others in development or other physiological roles. The numbers of CSPs in different species of insects range from 4 in Drosophila to at least 70 in locusts, whereas in ...

Candidate chemoreceptor subfamilies differentially expressed in the chemosensory organs of the mollusc Aplysia

BMC Biology, 2009
Background Marine molluscs, as is the case with most aquatic animals, rely heavily on olfactory cues for survival. In the mollusc Aplysia californica, mate-attraction is mediated by a blend of water-borne protein pheromones that are detected by sensory ...
