Revisiting the odorant-binding protein LUSH ofDrosophila melanogaster: evidence for odour recognition and discrimination

FEBS Letters, 2004
LUSH is a soluble odorant-binding protein of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Mutants not expressing this protein have been reported to lack the avoidance behaviour, exhibited by wild type flies, to high concentrations of ethanol.

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.

An odorant-binding protein of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, participates in the response of host plant volatiles.

Pest Management Science, 2021
BACKGROUND Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in insects contribute to the sensitivity of the olfactory system and function to connect external odorants to olfactory receptor neurons. Determination of the chemosensory functions in Diaphorina citri, a vector

CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis abolishes odorant-binding protein BdorOBP56f-2 and impairs the perception of methyl eugenol in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel).

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021
Olfaction underpins many insect behaviors, such as foraging, host location, mating, and predator avoidance. In the first step of insect olfaction, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) bind hydrophobic odorants and transport them to odorant receptors.

Odorant binding protein C12 is involved in the defense against eugenol in Tribolium castaneum.

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2021
Tribolium castaneum (T. castaneum) is a worldwide pest of stored grain that mainly harms flour, and not only causes serious loss of flour quality but also leads to deterioration of flour quality.

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,

DyBOBS: A Dynamic Biomimetic Assay for Odorant-Binding to Odor-Binding Protein

Chemosensory Perception, 2010
An in vitro system was developed to mimic the structural and flow conditions of the human olfactory epithelium and to measure the dynamics of odorant-binding to odor-binding protein (OBP). A hydrophilic fused silica capillary, coated internally with a thin (about 1.3 µm) aqueous film of recombinant rat-OBP3 mimicked the human olfactory epithelium ...
