Antiviral activity of hemocyanins [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013
Hemocyanins are giant biological macromolecules acting as oxygen-transporting glycoproteins. Most of them are respiratory proteins of arthropods and mollusks, but besides they also exhibit protecting effects against bacterial, fungal and viral invasions.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.
Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

Pinopsin Regulates Melatonin Production and Daily Locomotor Activity: Functional Insights From Gene‐Edited Xenopus Tadpoles

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythm alignment depends on environmental light detection via opsins. Pinopsin, originally identified in the pineal organ of birds and later in amphibian pineal complex and eyes, may play a role in this process, though its function has not been genetically tested.

The Dynamics of Contents of the Total Protein, Haemocyanin and Activity of the Antioxidant Enzymes Under Condition of Acute Hyperthermia in Pulmonate Mollusk Lymnaea stagnalis [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2018
The dynamics of total protein’s and hemocyanin’s content in the hemolymph, as well as the activity of the antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, catalase and glutathione S-transferase) in pulmonate mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758) under the impact of

The Oxidation of Hemocyanin [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995
The reaction that gives met‐hemocyanin from Octopus vulgaris oxy‐hemocyanin has been reinvesti‐gated under several experimental conditions. Various anions including azide, fluoride and acetate have been found to promote this reaction. Kinetic data indicate that the reaction mechanism is different from that currently accepted involving a peroxide ...

Environmental Risk Assessment and Anti‐Corrosion Efficacy of Safe‐by‐Design Nitrite‐Based Nanomaterials for Maritime Applications

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The environmental behavior and impact of anti‐corrosion nanoadditives, ZnAl‐NO2 and MgAl‐NO2 layered double hydroxides (LDH), are assessed under marine conditions. These nanomaterials show instability in water but exhibit no or low toxicity to most tested marine species.

C-Terminal Domain of Hemocyanin, a Major Antimicrobial Protein from Litopenaeus vannamei: Structural Homology with Immunoglobulins and Molecular Diversity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Invertebrates rely heavily on immune-like molecules with highly diversified variability so as to counteract infections. However, the mechanisms and the relationship between this variability and functionalities are not well understood.

Bordetella BcrH1 and BcrH2 Are Specific Chaperones for the Pore‐Forming Complex

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 57-67, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Bordetella has a type III secretion system that secretes virulence proteins crucial to the establishment of infection. The genes encoding components of the Bordetella type III secretion system are located in the bsc region on the chromosome. This region includes the bcrH1 and bcrH2 genes, which respectively encode the proteins BcrH1 and BcrH2.

Transcriptomic, proteomic and biochemical comparison of luminescent and non‐luminescent Keroplatinae larvae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 34-47, February 2026.
Transcriptomic and proteomic comparison of luminescent O. fultoni and non‐luminescent Neoditomyia sp show that the substrate binding fraction (SBF) has a similar abundance of hexamerins and the presence of flavin‐dependent reductases. In addition to the high content of keroplatin, SBF also contains considerable amounts of riboflavin and displays ...
