Identification of neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptor genes in Phauda flammans (Walker)

Scientific Reports, 2022
Neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptors are crucial regulators to insect physiological processes. The 21.0 Gb bases were obtained from Illumina sequencing of two libraries representing the female and male heads of Phauda flammans (Walker) (Lepidoptera ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals salivary gland-specific neuropeptide signaling genes in the predatory stink bug, Picromerus lewisi

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Predatory stink bugs derive from phytophagous stink bugs and evolved enhanced predation skills. Neuropeptides are a diverse class of ancient signaling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behavior in animals, including stink bugs ...

Dissecting the genetic landscape of GPCR signaling through phenotypic profiling in C. elegans

Nature Communications, 2023
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate responses to various extracellular and intracellular cues. However, the large number of GPCR genes and their substantial functional redundancy make it challenging to systematically dissect GPCR functions in ...

Exogenous expression of an allatotropin-related peptide receptor increased the membrane excitability in Aplysia neurons

Molecular Brain, 2022
Neuropeptides act mostly on a class of G-protein coupled receptors, and play a fundamental role in the functions of neural circuits underlying behaviors. However, physiological functions of some neuropeptide receptors are poorly understood. Here, we used
