Odorant-Binding Protein 2 is Involved in the Preference of Sogatella furcifera (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) for Rice Plants Infected with the Southern Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus

Florida Entomologist, 2019
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus, transmitted by the white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera [Horvath]) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) was first found in Guangdong Province, China. A previous study has demonstrated that the host plant preferences

Expressions of Olfactory Proteins in Locust Olfactory Organs and a Palp Odorant Receptor Involved in Plant Aldehydes Detection

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The main chemosensory organs of locusts consisted of the antennae and the mouthparts (maxillary and labial palps), which are suggested to perform different functions.

Characterization of odorant binding and chemosensory protein families in the kissing bug Triatoma infestans: comparative analysis among Heteroptera species.

BMC Genomics
Background Plasticity in sensory perception and tolerance to xenobiotics contributes to insects’ adaptive capacity and evolutionary success, by enabling them to cope with potentially toxic molecules from the environment or internal milieu.

A Highly Selective Biosensor Based on Peptide Directly Derived from the HarmOBP7 Aldehyde Binding Site

Sensors, 2019
This paper presents the results of research on determining the optimal length of a peptide chain to effectively bind octanal molecules. Peptides that map the aldehyde binding site in HarmOBP7 were immobilized on piezoelectric transducers.

Identification of musk compounds as inhibitors of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
As new drug development is a long process, reuse of bioactives may be the answer to new epidemics; thus, screening existing bioactive compounds against a new SARS-CoV-2 infection is an important task.

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioural response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to"odor on", but also to"odor off". This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.

Odorant binding protein 69a connects social interaction to modulation of social responsiveness in Drosophila

PLoS Genetics, 2018
Living in a social environment requires the ability to respond to specific social stimuli and to incorporate information obtained from prior interactions into future ones.

Honey bee Odorant Binding Protein 14: Effects on Thermal Stability upon Odorant Binding revealed by FT-IR Spectroscopy and CD Measurements [PDF]

, 2014
In the present work, we study the effect of odorant binding on the thermal stability of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) odorant binding protein 14. Thermal denaturation of the protein in the absence and presence of different odorant molecules was monitored

A mosquito hemolymph odorant-binding protein family member specifically binds juvenile hormone

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a key regulator of insect development and reproduction. In adult mosquitoes, it is essential for maturation of the ovary and normal male reproductive behavior, but how JH distribution and activity is regulated after secretion is ...

Sex- and Tissue-Specific Expression Profiles of Odorant Binding Protein and Chemosensory Protein Genes in Bradysia odoriphaga (Diptera: Sciaridae)

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Bradysia odoriphaga is an agricultural pest insect affecting the production of Chinese chive and other liliaceous vegetables in China, and it is significantly attracted by sex pheromones and the volatiles derived from host plants. Despite verification of
