Molecular evolution of bumble bee vitellogenin and vitellogenin‐like genes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Vitellogenin (Vg), a storage protein, has been significantly studied for its egg yolk precursor role in oviparous animals. Recent studies found that vitellogenin and its Vg‐like homologs were fundamentally involved in many other biological processes in ...

Vitellogenin from planthopper oral secretion acts as a novel effector to impair plant defenses.
New Phytologist, 2021 Vitellogenin (Vg) is a well-known nutritious protein involved in reproduction in nearly all oviparous animals, including insects. Recently, Vg has been detected in saliva proteomes of several piercing-sucking herbivorous arthropods, including the small ...

bioRxiv, 2022 Vitellogenins are essential for the development and fecundity of insects, but these proteins may also betray them, as we show here. We found that the small N-terminal subunit of vitellogenins of the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (NlVgN) triggers strong ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance During vitellogenesis of oviparous animals, vitellogenin receptor (VgR)–mediated endocytosis is crucial for the incorporation of yolk proteins into oocytes. VgR also serves as a gatekeeper for vertical transmission of pathogenic microbes and

Kovalen: Jurnal Riset Kimia, 2021 Arowana fish (Scleropages sp.) are monomorphic species, those animals that physically could not be distinguished between male and female. The research was aimed to identify and purify Vitellogenin of four variants of Asian Arowana: Banjar, Papua, Pinoh ...

Biology Open, 2022 Vitellogenin is an essential protein involved in ovary maturation in many animals. Detection of this protein correlated with reproductive capacity may be important if carried out on marine organisms such as the red spiny lobster Palinurus elephas, a ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Social exploitation of vitellogenin [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Vitellogenin is a female-specific glucolipoprotein yolk precursor produced by all oviparous animals. Vitellogenin expression is under hormonal control, and the protein is generally synthesized directly before yolk deposition. In the honeybee ( Apis mellifera ), vitellogenin is not only synthesized by the ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Oocyte maturation and ovarian development are sequentially coordinated events critical to reproduction. In the ovaries of adult oviparous animals such as birds, bony fish, insects, and crustaceans, vitellogenin receptor (VgR) is a plasma membrane ...
