Deswapping bovine odorant binding protein

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2008
The X-ray structure of bovine Odorant Binding Protein (bOBP) revealed its association as a domain swapped dimer. bOBP, devoid of any cysteines, contrasts with other mammalian OBPs, which are monomeric and possess at least one disulfide bridge. We have produced a mutant of bOBP in which a glycine residue was inserted after position 121.

Odorant binding proteins of Heliothis virescens

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993
cDNA clones coding for three different binding proteins were isolated from an antennal library of Heliothis virescens. The deduced amino acid sequences showed only moderate homology to each other but shared several common structural features. Based on a comparison with the predicted primary structures of antennal binding proteins from different moth ...

Electrochemical biosensing with odorant binding proteins

2020
The development of sensors that mimic the natural smell sensing mechanism and selectively recognizes the odorants remains highly challenging. Electrochemical based sensing approaches aiming at monitoring molecular recognition events between surface receptors and analytes in solution or in the gas phase, are one possible transduction platforms among ...

Odorant Binding to Bovine Odorant Binding Protein Detected by Intrinsic Fluorescence

Chemistry Letters, 2005
Abstract Odorant binding to bovine odorant binding protein (OBPb) made OBPb structure a little tighter and odorant detection by intrinsic fluorescence possible. For odorant with high affinity such as 3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol (DMO), the binding reaction proceeded in a two-step manner that inferred an existence of a third binding site.

Odorant‐Binding Proteins: Structural Aspects

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998
ABSTRACT: Structural data on odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs), both in vertebrates and in insects, are reviewed and discussed. OBPs are soluble proteins interacting with odor molecules and Pheromones in the perireceptor areas, the nasal mucus in vertebrates and the sensillar lymph in insects.

Stability and Dynamics of the Porcine Odorant-Binding Protein

Biochemistry, 2007
The denaturation process of porcine odorant-binding protein (pOBP) was studied by intrinsic fluorescence analysis and far- and near-UV circular dichroism measurements. Our results showed that a reversible one-step process described the denaturation by GdnHCl.

Odorant‐Binding Proteins: Expression and Function

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998
ABSTRACT: Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) are a major constituent of the aqueous perireceptor compartment in vertebrates and in insects. Although different in primary structure, they are supposed to serve similar functions in both animal groups: (i) OBPs may act as solubilizers and carriers of the lipophilic odorants in the aqueous mucus or sensillum ...

Structure and biotechnological applications of odorant-binding proteins

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble polypeptides found in sensory organs of vertebrates and insects as well as in secretory glands and are dedicated to detection and release of chemical stimuli. OBPs of vertebrates belong to the family of lipocalin proteins, while those of insects are folded into α-helical domains.

Site-directed mutagenesis of odorant-binding proteins

2020
Modifying the affinity of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) to small ligands by replacement of specific residues in the binding pocket may lead to several technological applications. Thanks to their compact and stable structures, OBPs are currently regarded as the best candidates to be used in biosensing elements for odorants and volatiles detection. The
