Copper isotope composition of hemocyanin

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2022
Copper is a metal that plays a central role in biology, for example, as co-factor in various redox enzymes. Its stable isotopic composition is being used as tracer of its transport in living organisms and as a biomarker for diseases affecting its homeostasis.

The occurrence of hemocyanin in Hexapoda [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2009
Hemocyanins are copper‐containing, respiratory proteins that have been thoroughly studied in various arthropod subphyla. Specific O2‐transport proteins have long been considered unnecessary in Hexapoda (including Insecta), which acquire O2 via an elaborate tracheal system.

Inter-Subunit Dynamics Controls Tunnel Formation During the Oxygenation Process in Hemocyanin Hexamers

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Hemocyanin from horseshoe crab in its active form is a homo-hexameric protein. It exists in open and closed conformations when transitioning between deoxygenated and oxygenated states.

Diversity, evolution, and function of myriapod hemocyanins

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Hemocyanin transports O2 in the hemolymph of many arthropod species. Such respiratory proteins have long been considered unnecessary in Myriapoda. As a result, the presence of hemocyanin in Myriapoda has long been overlooked.

The diversity and evolution of chelicerate hemocyanins

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Oxygen transport in the hemolymph of many arthropod species is facilitated by large copper-proteins referred to as hemocyanins. Arthropod hemocyanins are hexamers or oligomers of hexamers, which are characterized by a high O2 transport ...

Correlated effects of selection for immunity in White Leghorn chicken lines on natural antibodies and specific antibody responses to KLH and M. butyricum [PDF]

, 2008
Background The effect of selection for three general immune response traits on primary antibody responses (Ab) to Mycobacterium butyricum or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) was studied in four experimental lines of White Leghorn chicken.

Short-Term Estivation and Hibernation Induce Changes in the Blood and Circulating Hemocytes of the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata

Metabolites, 2023
States of natural dormancy include estivation and hibernation. Ampullariids are exemplary because they undergo estivation when deprived of water or hibernation when exposed to very low temperatures.
