Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Dopamine D2L receptor-interacting proteins regulate dopaminergic signaling
Dopamine receptor family proteins include seven transmembrane and trimeric GTP-binding protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Among them, the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is most extensively studied.

Structure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins [PDF]
Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis

The activation mechanism of Irga6, an interferon-inducible GTPase contributing to mouse resistance against Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Background: The interferon-inducible immunity-related GTPases (IRG proteins/p47 GTPases) are a distinctive family of GTPases that function as powerful cell-autonomous resistance factors.

Small GTP-binding proteins of squid photoreceptor Interaction with photoactivated rhodopsin [PDF]
Squid photoreceptor membranes contain several small GTP-binding proteins (22–27 kDa) in addition to heterotrimeric G-proteins. In addition, these membranes contain several proteins which can be ADP-ribosylated by exoenzyme C3 from Clostridiumbotulinum ...
