Red palm weevil olfactory proteins annotated from the rostrum provide insights into the essential role in chemosensation and chemoreception

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is rapidly infesting palm trees (Arecaceae) in several countries, threatening coconut, date, and oil cultivations.

Molecular Structures and Biochemical Physiology of the Proteins Involved in Chemical Communications in Some Insect Species [PDF]

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
The olfactory systems of terrestial animals are designed to trap and sample volatile hydrophobic molecules. Some of these molecules are odorants, such as volatile plant compounds and pheromonesemitted from the other organisms.

Conserved odorant-binding proteins from aphids and eavesdropping predators. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The sesquiterpene (E)-ß-farnesene is the main component of the alarm pheromone system of various aphid species studied to date, including the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae.

Association of Putative Members to Family of Mosquito Odorant Binding Proteins: Scoring Scheme Using Fuzzy Functional Templates and Cys Residue Positions

Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2013
Proteins may be related to each other very specifically as homologous subfamilies. Proteins can also be related to diverse proteins at the super family level.

Chemosensory Gene Families in Ectropis grisescens and Candidates for Detection of Type-II Sex Pheromones

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Tea grey geometrid (Ectropis grisescens), a devastating chewing pest in tea plantations throughout China, produces Type-II pheromone components. Little is known about the genes encoding proteins involved in the perception of Type-II sex pheromone ...

Three Odorant-binding Proteins from Rabbit Nasal Mucosa [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 1997
Following the purification of an odorant-binding protein (OBP) from rabbit nasal mucosa, we have identified, purified and partially characterized two additional OBPs from the nasal tissue of the same animal species. OBP-II is a monomer of 21 kDa and isoelectric point 4.2; OBP-III is a dimer with subunits of 23 kDa and isoelectric point 4.8. Like OBP-I,

Perception‐transduction‐transmission separation bionic H2S sensor

InfoScience, EarlyView.
The modular separation of biological olfactory systems boasts unparalleled efficiency in olfactory recognition. Introducing this perception‐transduction‐transmission separation design into chemiresistive gas sensors (bionic olfactory sensing) based on the heterojunction rectification effect overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional sensor ...
