Molecular and Functional Characterization of Pheromone Binding Protein 2 from Cyrtotrachelus buqueti (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) play important roles in binding and transporting sex pheromones. However, the PBP genes identified in coleopteran insects and their information sensing mechanism are largely unknown.

Resilin in Insect Flight Systems [PDF]

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024., 2023
The development of resilin‐based biomaterials for medical and industrial applications has been constantly advanced in recent years. Resilin is a rubber‐like protein that occurs in arthropod exoskeleton structures. In the insect flight system, its function depends on its overall location, protein sequence and mixture with stiffer exoskeleton components.

Omics Analysis of Lignin Degradation by the Gut Microbiomes of Wood-Eating Hypomeces squamosus Fabricius. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
(1) The dominant lignin‐degrading genus taxon was Pantoea. (2) The key genes MHS‐HN_11398_2 (protocatechuate 2,3‐dioxygenase) and MHS‐HN_4821_1 (muconolactone d‐isomerase) were identified. (3) Three degrading pathways, ortho‐cleavage and meta‐cleavage of catechol, and ring‐opening of protocatechuate, were found. ABSTRACT Microbial degradation of lignin
