Unusual functions of insect vitellogenins: minireview. [PDF]
Physiol Res, 2023 Insect vitellogenins are an intriguing class of complex proteins. They primarily serve as a source of energy for the developing embryo in insect eggs. Vitellogenesis is a complex hormonally and neurally controlled process that command synthesis of vitellogenin molecules and ensures their transport from the female fat bodies or ovarial cells into eggs ...

Molecular evolution of bumble bee vitellogenin and vitellogenin‐like genes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractVitellogenin (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 social insects such as female caste differences and oxidative stress resilience.

npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease, 2021 To assess the utility of autofluorescence as a noninvasive biomarker of senescence in Caenorhabditis elegans, we measured the autofluorescence of individual nematodes using spectrofluorometry. The fluorescence of each worm increased with age.

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

Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin-Like Genes in the Brown Planthopper [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Vitellogenin (Vg) is precursor of vitellin. Here, we identified a Vg (NlVg) and two Vg-likes (NlVg-like1 and NlVg-like2) in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens. Phylogenetic analyses showed that NlVg-like1 and NlVg-like2 are not clustered with the conventional insect Vgs associated with vitellogenesis.

PRY-1/Axin signaling regulates lipid metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans constitutes a leading animal model to study how signaling pathway components function in conserved biological processes. Here, we describe the role of an Axin family member, PRY-1, in lipid metabolism.

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 ...

Insect Bacterial Symbiont-Mediated Vitellogenin Uptake into Oocytes To Support Egg Development
mBio, 2020 Many insect species, such as aphids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, and whiteflies harbor obligate bacterial symbionts that can be transovarially transmitted to offspring through the oocytes of female insects.

The molecular and structural characterization of two vitellogenins from the free-living nematode Oscheius tipulae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 This paper describes the purification of yolk proteins, which are important for the reproduction of egg-laying animals, and the structural characterization of two vitellogenins, VT1 and OTI-VIT-6, of the nematode Oscheius tipulae. O.
