PLoS Genetics, 2023 Some types of collagens, including transmembrane MACIT collagens and C. elegans cuticle collagens, are N-terminally cleaved at a dibasic site that resembles the consensus for furin or other proprotein convertases of the subtilisin/kexin (PCSK) family ...

Direct Evidence for a Radial Gradient in Age of the Apple Fruit Cuticle
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The pattern of cuticle deposition plays an important role in managing strain buildup in fruit cuticles. Cuticular strain is the primary trigger for numerous fruit-surface disorders in many fruit crop species.

Genetic variation and potential for genetic improvement of cuticle deposition on chicken eggs
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background The cuticle is an invisible glycosylated protein layer that covers the outside of the eggshell and forms a barrier to the transmission of microorganisms.

The structure of insect cuticles [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1947 Abstract The amount of chitin and of protein in the blowfly larval cuticle remains essentially unchanged during the process of hardening and darkening of the puparium. In the formation of the puparium there is a gain of weight of about 6 % over the larval cuticle weight, and this can be accounted for by the incorporation of phenolic ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The plant cuticle has traditionally been conceived as an independent hydrophobic layer that covers the external epidermal cell wall. Due to its complexity, the existing relationship between cuticle chemical composition and ultra-structure remains unclear

Egg envelopes and cuticle renewal in Porcellio embryos and marsupial mancas
ZooKeys, 2012 An important adaptation to land habitats in terrestrial isopod crustaceans is development of embryos in a fluid-filled female brood pouch, marsupium. The study brings insight into the structure and protective role of egg envelopes and cuticle renewal ...

The Cuticle of Mammalian Hair [PDF]
Nature, 1950 STUDIES in these laboratories have suggested that the arrangement of scales in the cuticles of mammalian hairs can be more accurately revealed by the examination of fibre sections, using ultra-violet light, than by the use of the electron microscope. This work has shown that the thickness of the cuticle of mammalian hair depends upon the arrangement of
