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.

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 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 ...
