Chemically Modified Hemocyanins with Enhanced Antibreast Cancer Activities
Proceedings, 2019 Some cancer cells hyperexpress folate receptors (FR); therefore, folate-derivatized deliverysystems are applied for a selective delivery of chemotherapeutics. [...]

Extreme thermostability of tarantula hemocyanin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1995 Biotops with extreme temperatures such as deserts force animals to avoid or escape high temperatures by biochemical, behavioural or morphological adaptation. In this context we tested the resistance to heat of the oxygen carrier hemocyanin from the ancient tarantula Eurypelma californicum, which is found in arid zones of North America.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

Tyrosinase Inhibitor Activity of Coumarin-Resveratrol Hybrids [PDF]
, 2009 In the present work we report on the contribution of the coumarin moiety to tyrosinase inhibition. Coumarin-resveratrol hybrids 1-8 have been resynthesized to investigate the structure-activity relationships and the IC50 values of these compounds were

Sublethal effects of acaricides and Nosema ceranae infection on immune related gene expression in honeybees [PDF]
, 2016 Nosema ceranae is an obligate intracellular parasite and the etiologic agent of Nosemosis that affects honeybees. Beside the stress caused by this pathogen, honeybee colonies are exposed to pesticides under beekeeper intervention, such as acaricides to ...

Tarantula Hemocyanin Shows Phenoloxidase Activity [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 An enzyme generally catalyzes one well defined reaction with high specificity and efficiency. We report here in contrast that the copper protein hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum exhibits two different functions. These occur at the same active site.

Antitumour activity of Helix hemocyanin against bladder carcinoma permanent cell lines
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019 Hemocyanins are oxygen-transporting glycoproteins in molluscs and arthropods. In this study, we assayed the biomacromolecules from the molluscs Helix lucorum (HlH), Rapana venosa (RvH) and Megatura crenulata (KLH) including their functional units (FUs ...

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.

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.
