Molecular Evolution of the Oxygen-Binding Hemerythrin Domain. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis during Precambrian times entailed the diversification of strategies minimizing reactive oxygen species-associated damage.

Abstract BACKGROUND Alphitobius diaperinus, the lesser mealworm, is an edible insect considered safe for human consumption; however, its proteins show documented cross‐reactivity with crustacean and house dust mite (HDM) allergens, raising potential concerns for allergic populations.

Quanternary structure of multihexameric arthropod hemocyanins
Arthropod hemocyanins are large oligomeric oxygen-transporting proteins with molecular weight ranging from 450 kDa in the spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) up to more than 3.6 mDa in the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus). Hemocyanins from different

ABSTRACT Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, are frequently reported contaminants of dairy cattle feed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where climatic conditions favor fungal growth, and they can be transferred into milk and dairy products.

Antitumour activity of Helix hemocyanin against bladder carcinoma permanent cell lines
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
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.

Strategy for modular assembly of tetravalent, multispecific antibodies
Abstract Multispecific, multivalent antibodies (Abs) are a burgeoning class of drugs that dramatically expand the pharmacological repertoire beyond traditional therapeutic Abs. Here, we present a simple, modular approach to developing multispecific, multivalent Abs based on a Fab‐phage library with a single light chain.

RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Studies on the Subunit Structure of Four Arthropod Hemocyanins
In view of the scarcity of information on the Southern hemisphere crustacean hemocyanin, further experiments have been carried out in this laboratory on Ovalipes catharus and Jasus edwardsii hemocyanins. This work also includes studies on the hemocyanins.
