Electroantennographic and Behavioral Evidence Identifies Carvone and IR3535 as Biting Deterrents Against Rhodnius prolixus (Stål, 1872) [PDF]

Insects
Electroantennography (EAG) is a valuable approach for monitoring insect antennal responses to insecticidal and test compounds and may provide a preliminary screening method for identifying compounds with potential activity against medically important ...

Biophysical characterization of Eag chaperones suggests the mechanism of effector transmembrane domain release [PDF]

Nature Communications
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a dynamic protein nanomachine found in Gram-negative bacteria that secretes toxic effectors into prey-cells. For secretion, effectors require chaperones or adaptors for proper loading onto the T6SS.

New distributed beamforming techniques based on optimized elliptical arc geometry for back lobe cancellation of linear antenna arrays

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2022
The presence of array back lobe is a major source of interference, power loss, and degrades the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) in wireless communication systems.

Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds by Antennal Lamellae of a Scarab Beetle

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Chemoreceptive sensilla are abundantly distributed on antennal lamellae of scarab beetles. Olfactory reception by these sensory lamellae plays a major role in feeding behaviors and sexual communication of these beetles.

Tracking Short-Range Attraction and Oviposition of European Grapevine Moths Affected by Volatile Organic Compounds in a Four-Chamber Olfactometer

Insects, 2020
The identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leading to short-range attraction and oviposition of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana and European grape berry moth Eupoecilia ambiguella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is crucial in order to

The Role of (E)-2-octenyl Acetate as a Pheromone of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister): Laboratory and Field Evaluation

Insects, 2020
The pentatomid bug Bagrada hilaris is a key pest of brassicaceous crops in several areas of the world. Previous studies suggest that mate location of this species is mediated by volatile chemicals produced by males, among which the main compound is (E)-2-

The Eag domain regulates the voltage-dependent inactivation of rat Eag1 K+ channels. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Eag (Kv10) and Erg (Kv11) belong to two distinct subfamilies of the ether-à-go-go K+ channel family (KCNH). While Erg channels are characterized by an inward-rectifying current-voltage relationship that results from a C-type inactivation, mammalian Eag ...

Eag Domains Regulate LQT Mutant hERG Channels in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Human Ether á go-go Related Gene potassium channels form the rapid component of the delayed-rectifier (IKr) current in the heart. The N-terminal 'eag' domain, which is composed of a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain and a short PAS-cap region, is a critical ...

Molecular determinants of interactions between the N-terminal domain and the transmembrane core that modulate hERG K+ channel gating. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
A conserved eag domain in the cytoplasmic amino terminus of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel is critical for its slow deactivation gating.
