Transcriptome Characterization and Identification of Chemosensory Genes in the Egg Parasitoid Anastatus orientalis, Along with Molecular Cloning, Sequence Analysis, and Prokaryotic Expression of the Odorant Binding Protein 8 (AoOBP8) from A. orientalis [PDF]
InsectsAnastatus orientalis, a prominent egg parasitoid of Lycorma delicatula, demonstrates considerable potential for biological control. A. orientalis is dependent on host volatiles to identify and locate appropriate hosts for reproduction, with its olfactory

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 ...

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

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 ...

Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...

A Chemosensory Protein Detects Antifeedant in Locust (Locusta migratoria) [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Chemosensory system is vitally important for animals to select food. Antifeedants that herbivores encounter can interfere with feeding behavior and exert physiological effects. Few studies have assessed the molecular mechanisms underlying the chemoreception of antifeedants.

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 ...

Trafficking of Mammalian Chemosensory Receptors by Receptor‐transporting Proteins [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 Although mammalian odorant receptors (ORs) were identified more than 15 years ago, we still do not understand how odorant molecules interact with ORs at a molecular level. Previous studies of mammalian ORs have tested few ORs against many odorants. Some fundamental properties of the olfactory system, however, require investigation of a wide panel of ...
