Early Queen Development in Honey Bees: Social Context and Queen Breeder Source Affect Gut Microbiota and Associated Metabolism

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The highly social honey bee has dense populations but a significantly reduced repertoire of immune genes relative to solitary species, suggesting a greater reliance on social immunity.

Vitellogenin synthesis in the avian liver. Vitellogenin is the precursor of the egg yolk phosphoproteins

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1975
Administration of estrogen to roosters induces the synthesis of egg yolk phosphoproteins in the liver. We have demonstrated that these proteins are synthesized in the form of a large precursor, vitellogenin, and that vitellogenin is the only phosphoprotein found in the plasma of the estrogen-treated rooster. Vitellogenin is cleaved to form the egg yolk

Ancient Duplications Have Led to Functional Divergence of Vitellogenin-Like Genes Potentially Involved in Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Honey Bees

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016
Protection against inflammation and oxidative stress is key in slowing down aging processes. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) shows flexible aging patterns linked to the social role of individual bees.

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...

Ovarian Development and Vitellogenin Gene Expression under Heat Stress in Silkworm, Bombyx mori

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2016
The present study observed the effect of heat stress on ovarian development, fecundity, and vitellogenin gene expression in silkworm, Bombyx mori. The result showed that the heat shock treatment to spinning larvae and pupae at 39°C (1 h and 2 h) did not ...

Effects of chlorantraniliprole on the life history traits of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction:Spodoptera frugiperda is an important nomadic agricultural pest with a diverse host range and resistance against several insecticides. The current study investigated the life history traits of two strains of the field-collected population ...

Suppression of Bedbug’s Reproduction by RNA Interference of Vitellogenin

PLoS ONE, 2016
Recent resurgence of the bedbug Cimex lectularius is a global problem on the public health. On account of the worldwide rise of insecticide-resistant bedbug populations, exploration of new approaches to the bedbug control and management is anticipated ...

A distant TANGO1 family member promotes vitellogenin export from the ER in C. elegans

iScience
Summary: Vitellogenin is thought to share a common ancestor with human apolipoprotein B (ApoB) for systemic lipid transport. In Caenorhabditis elegans, although a general route for inter-tissue vitellogenin transport has been described, the full ...

Molecular Characterization of Vitellogenin and Its Receptor in Sogatella furcifera, and Their Function in Oocyte Maturation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The yolk protein precursor, vitellogenin (Vg), provides nutrition for embryonic development whereas the vitellogenin receptor (VgR) is responsible for the uptake of yolk protein by maturing oocytes.

Vitellogenin—Homologs of mammalian apolipoproteins?

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1991
1. To determine if a relationship exists between vertebrate vitellogenins and mammalian plasma proteins the EMBL and NBRF computer databases were searched with two partial amino acid sequences from Xenopus laevis and Gallus gallus vitellogenin. 2.
