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.

Interpopulational Variations of Odorant-Binding Protein Expression in the Black Cutworm Moth, Agrotis ipsilon

Insects, 2020
A long-range migrant species of moth (Agrotis ipsilon) has served as a model to compare the expression profiles of antennal proteins between different continental populations.

Are Odorant-binding Proteins Involved in Odorant Discrimination? [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 1996
Pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea of nine moth species belonging to six families and three superfamilies of Lepidoptera were immunolabelled with an antiserum against the pheromone-binding protein of Antheraea polyphemus. Strong immunolabelling of the sensillum lymph was observed in all long sensilla trichodea of A. polyphemus, A.

The Odorant-Binding Protein Gene obp11 Shows Different Spatiotemporal Roles in the Olfactory System of Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana

Sociobiology, 2014
Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.

An Expanded Survey of the Moth PBP/GOBP Clade in Bombyx mori: New Insight into Expression and Functional Roles

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.

Aedes aegypti Odorant Binding Protein 22 selectively binds fatty acids through a conformational change in its C-terminal tail

Scientific Reports, 2020
Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for transmission of Dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses. Previously it was shown that Dengue virus infection of the mosquito led to an in increased expression of the odorant binding protein 22 (AeOBP22) within the ...

Transcriptome analysis of megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) identifies olfactory genes with ligands binding characteristics of MusiOBP1 and MusiCSP1

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The olfactory system is an important component of insect behavior and is vital for survival and reproduction. However, the genomic characterization and molecular basis of the olfactory response of Megalurothrips usitatus remain relatively unknown.

Antennal transcriptome analysis of chemosensory genes in the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Olfaction, one of the most important sensory systems governing insect behavior, is a possible target for pest management. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the antennal transcriptome of the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera ...
