Coordinative mediation of the response to alarm pheromones by three odorant binding proteins in the green peach aphid Myzus persicae.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play an essential role for insect chemosensation in insect peripheral nervous systems of antennae. Each antennal sensilla contains more than one OBP at high concentrations but the interactions and cooperation between co ...

Ligand-binding specificities of four odorant-binding proteins in Conogethes punctiferalis.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2022
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play essential roles in lepidopteran insects' perception of host volatiles by binding and transporting hydrophobic ligands.

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,

BarH1 regulates odorant-binding proteins expression and olfactory perception of Monochamus alternatus Hope.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021
Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small soluble proteins that can be found in various tissues wherein binding and transport of small molecules are required.

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.

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.

Functional characterization of four antenna-enriched odorant binding proteins in Rhaphuma horsfieldi reveals the importance of RhorOBP1 in odorant recognition and insecticide resistance.

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
The cerambycid beetles are key players for the sustenance of biodiversity in the forest ecosystem, but in most cases are well known due to their harmfulness to agricultural and forest plants.

Odorant-Binding Proteins

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1994
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are low-molecular-weight soluble proteins highly concentrated in the nasal mucus of vertebrates and in the sensillar lymph of insects. Their affinity toward odors and pheromones suggests a role in olfactory perception, but their physiological function has not been clearly defined.

Different binding properties of two general-odorant binding proteins in Athetis lepigone with sex pheromones, host plant volatiles and insecticides.

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020
Athetis lepigone (Alep) is a polyphagous pest native to Europe and Asia that has experienced major outbreaks in the summer maize area of China since 2011 and has shown evidence of resistance to some insecticides.

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.
