N-terminal domain of apolipoprotein B has structural homology to lipovitellin and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein: a “lipid pocket” model for self-assembly of apoB-containing lipoprotein particles

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
The process of assembly of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoprotein particles occurs co-translationally after disulfide-dependent folding of the N-terminal domain of apoB but the mechanism is not understood.

Identification and evaluation of suitable reference genes for gene expression studies in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Asia I) by reverse transcription quantitative realtime PCR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study presents a reliable method for performing reverse transcription quantitative realtime PCR (RT-qPCR) to measure gene expression in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Asia I) (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), utilising suitable reference genes for

Lipid profiling of the filarial nematodes Onchocerca volvulus, Onchocerca ochengi and Litomosoides sigmodontis reveals the accumulation of nematode-specific ether phospholipids in the host [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Onchocerciasis, a neglected tropical disease prevalent in western and central Africa, is a major health problem and has been targeted for elimination. The causative agent for this disease is the human parasite Onchocerca volvulus.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Caused by Lipoprotein Accumulation Suppresses Immunity against Bacterial Pathogens and Contributes to Immunosenescence

open access: yesmBio, 2017
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a stress response pathway that is activated upon increased unfolded and/or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and enhanced ER stress response prolongs life span and improves immunity. However, the

Recent advances in breeding and seed production of marine finfish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cage culture has made possible the large-scale production of commercial finfish in many parts of the world and can be considered as the most efficient and economical way of rising fish.

Decoding Vitellogenin Subtype Responses: A Molecular Approach to Biomarkers of Endocrine Disruption in Scatophagus argus

open access: yesFishes
Vitellogenins (Vtgs) are key yolk precursor proteins in fish, serving as critical indicators of gonadal maturation in females and reliable biomarkers for detecting xeno-oestrogenic pollution, particularly through their expression in juveniles or males ...

Fat body-specific vitellogenin expression regulates host-seeking behaviour in the mosquito Aedes albopictus.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
The high vector competence of mosquitoes is intrinsically linked to their reproductive strategy because females need a vertebrate blood meal to develop large batches of eggs. However, the molecular mechanisms and pathways regulating mosquito host-seeking

Inter-individual variability in reproductive success and somatic growth in Cichlasoma dimerus (Heckel, 1840) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Environmental factors and social interactions are known to affect somatic growth and reproduction in teleost fish. It has been described for Cichlasoma dimerus that only one pair is formed under a wide range of laboratory conditions.
