The Odorant-Binding Proteins of the Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 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)

Biotechnological applications of mammalian odorant-binding proteins [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2021
The olfactory system of mammals allows the detection and discrimination of thousands of odors from the environment. In mammals, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are considered responsible to carry odorant molecules across the aqueous nasal mucus to the olfactory receptors (ORs).

Pleiotropic Odorant-Binding Proteins Promote Aedes aegypti Reproduction and Flavivirus Transmission. [PDF]

mBio, 2021
Aedes aegypti is the major vector for many arthropod-borne viral diseases, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Previous studies suggested that odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) may have diverse physiological functions beyond the olfactory system

Antennal Enriched Odorant Binding Proteins Are Required for Odor Communication in Glossina f. fuscipes. [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2021
Olfaction is orchestrated at different stages and involves various proteins at each step. For example, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are soluble proteins found in sensillum lymph that might encounter odorants before reaching the odorant receptors.

Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Odorant Binding Proteins and Their Interactions with Selected Volatile Organic Compounds: An In Silico Approach. [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Simple Summary The black soldier fly (BSF) is a saprophagous insect that is an efficient bioconverter of organic waste because of its extreme voracity and fast larval development. Specific chemical molecules from decaying organic substances can influence

Identification and functional characterization of odorant-binding proteins 69a and 76a of Drosophila suzukii [PDF]

Heliyon, 2021
The fruit fly Drosophila suzukii is a fruit crop pest that causes a severe economic threat to soft summer fruit worldwide. The male sex pheromone, cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) has multiple functions in intra-species communication in Drosophila melanogaster,

Robust olfactory responses in the absence of odorant binding proteins

eLife, 2019
Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are expressed at extremely high levels in the antennae of insects, and have long been believed essential for carrying hydrophobic odorants to odor receptors.

Evolutionarily conserved odorant-binding proteins participate in establishing tritrophic interactions [PDF]

iScience, 2022
Summary: Attracting herbivores and their natural enemies is a standard method where plant volatiles mediate tritrophic interactions. However, it remains unknown whether the shared attraction has a shared chemosensory basis.
