Odorant binding initially occurring at the central pocket in bovine odorant-binding protein

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
Why bovine odorant-binding protein (OBPb), among OBP family, assumes a dimeric structure has been unclear. Here we clarified, by measuring the fluorescence of intrinsic tryptophan and tyrosine residues of intact OBPb and OBPb whose C-terminal 10 amino acids were deleted, that odorant enters the central pocket formed by the dimerization when OBPb first ...

Odorant‐binding proteins of mammals

Biological Reviews, 2021
ABSTRACTOdorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) of vertebrates belong to the lipocalin superfamily and perform a dual function: solubilizing and ferrying volatile pheromones to the olfactory receptors, and complexing the same molecules in specialized glands and assisting their release into the environment.

Odorant-binding proteins of the mouse

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995
After the isolation of two odorant-binding proteins (OBP-I and OBP-II) from mouse nasal tissue, we have purified two additional OBPs, which bind tritiated 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine. OBP-III is a homodimer with subunits of M(r) 22,000 and pI 4.2. OBP-IV is a homodimer with subunits of M(r) 21,000 and pI 4.85.

The molecular identification, odor binding characterization, and immunolocalization of odorant-binding proteins in Liriomyza trifolii

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2022
The Liriomyza trifolii is a highly invasive polyphagia pest. Understanding the physiological functions of odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in the chemical communication of L. trifolii can lead to effective pest management strategies. Seven full-length OBPs were identified by transcriptome screening of L. trifolii adults.

Odorant-binding proteins in insects

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995
This paper reviews the characteristics of pheromone and odorant-binding proteins (OBP) in insects, with particular reference to Lepidoptera. They are small (15 kDa) soluble proteins, very concentrated in the lymph of chemosensory sensilla and belonging to two major classes, pheromone-binding proteins (PBP) and general odorant-binding proteins.

Mammalian odorant binding proteins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) pertain to one of the most abundant classes of proteins found in the olfactory apparatus. OBPs are a sub-class of lipocalins, defined by their property of reversibly binding volatile chemicals, that we call 'odorants'. Numerous sequences of OBPs are now available, derived from protein sequencing from nasal mucus material,
