Electrochemical biosensing with odorant binding proteins
2020The 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 ...

Deswapping bovine odorant binding protein
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2008The 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, 1993cDNA 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 ...

Subtypes of odorant‐binding proteins
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1998Odorant‐binding proteins (OBP) in the mucus of the olfactory epithelium are thought to transfer the hydrophobic odorous compounds through the aqueous barrier towards the chemo‐sensory cells. To evaluate their binding properties, two distinct OBP subtypes of the rat were expressed as N‐terminal His‐tagged fusion proteins in Escherichia coli, thus ...

The GOBP2 protein has a unique function in the yellow peach moth (Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée)). Several general odorant-binding proteins (GOBPs) have been identified in various lepidopteran species, but the functional difference between GOBP1 and ...

Odorant‐Binding Proteins: Structural Aspects
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998ABSTRACT: 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.

Odorant‐Binding Proteins: Expression and Function
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998ABSTRACT: 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 ...

Molecular cloning of putative odorant-binding and odorant-metabolizing proteins
Biochemistry, 1991Olfactory reception occurs via the interaction of odorants with the chemosensory cilia of the olfactory receptor cells located in the nasal epithelium. The cDNA clones from mRNA specific to olfactory mucosa were studied. One of these clones, OBPII, encodes a secretory protein with significant homology to odorant-binding protein (OBP), a protein with ...

Isoleucine residues determine chiral discrimination of odorant-binding protein.
Chemistry, 2020Enzymes, receptors and carrier proteins discriminate between enantiomers of natural and synthetic chemicals. While the structural details of this phenomenon have been investigated in enzymes and receptors, much less is known for carrier proteins of ...

Odorant-binding proteins are biomolecules belonging to the lipocalin family. Among all the odorant-binding proteins, the porcine odorant-binding protein has been well characterized. This protein is a monomer that is characterized by the presence of the beta-barrel structure and of the disulphide bridge.
