Mimicry in the Bite: Shared Sequences Between Aedes aegypti Salivary Proteins and Human Proteins [PDF]

Proteomes
Background: Molecular mimicry contributes to the development of unwanted responses to self-antigens. Autoimmune phenomena have been observed in diseases caused by Aedes aegypti-transmitted arboviruses, but the occurrence of mimicry between salivary and ...

TickSialoFam (TSFam): A Database That Helps to Classify Tick Salivary Proteins, a Review on Tick Salivary Protein Function and Evolution, With Considerations on the Tick Sialome Switching Phenomenon

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Tick saliva contains a complex mixture of peptides and non-peptides that counteract their hosts' hemostasis, immunity, and tissue-repair reactions. Recent transcriptomic studies have revealed over one thousand different transcripts coding for secreted ...

Engineered Salivary Peptides Reduce Enamel Demineralization Provoked by Cariogenic S. mutans Biofilm

Microorganisms, 2022
Engineering of the acquired enamel pellicle using salivary peptides has been shown to be a promising anticaries strategy. However, the mechanisms by which these peptides protect teeth against tooth decay are not fully understood.

Proteomic study of salivary peptides and proteins in patients with Sjögren's syndrome before and after pilocarpine treatment. [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2007
AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the effect of pilocarpine on the salivary peptide and protein profile in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and to study the differences between patients with primary SS, patients with SS associated with other rheumatic diseases, and healthy control subjects.MethodsSaliva specimens were obtained from 9 primary

Analysis in a murine model points to IgG responses against the 34k2 salivary proteins from Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti as novel promising candidate markers of host exposure to Aedes mosquitoes.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:Aedes mosquitoes are vectors of arboviral diseases of great relevance for public health. The recent outbreaks of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and the rapid worldwide spreading of Aedes albopictus emphasize the need for improvement of vector ...

Marked Increase in PROP Taste Responsiveness Following Oral Supplementation with Selected Salivary Proteins or Their Related Free Amino Acids [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The genetic predisposition to taste 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) varies among individuals and is associated with salivary levels of Ps-1 and II-2 peptides, belonging to the basic proline-rich protein family (bPRP).
