Odorant binding initially occurring at the central pocket in bovine odorant-binding protein [PDF]
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 ...

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map.

Ligand binding and homology modelling of insect odorant-binding proteins [PDF]
, 2014 This review describes the main characteristics of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) for homology modelling and presents a summary of structure prediction studies on insect OBPs, along with the steps involved and some limitations and improvements.

The Odorant-Binding Proteins of the Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Spider mites are one of the major agricultural pests, feeding on a large variety of plants. As a contribution to understanding chemical communication in these arthropods, we have characterized a recently discovered class of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in Tetranychus urticae. As in other species of Chelicerata, the four OBPs of T.

The 40-Year Mystery of Insect Odorant-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in chemoreception. While OBPs were initially found in olfactory appendages, recently these proteins were discovered in other chemosensory and non-chemosensory organs.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 We studied the expression profile and ontogeny (from the egg stage through the larval stages and pupal stages, to the elderly adult age) of four OBPs from the silkworm moth Bombyx mori.
