The Chorion Proteome of Diaphorina citri, the Vector of Huanglongbing Disease in Citrus

Insects, 2021
Nowadays, the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Kuwayama) (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is considered the most devastating pest of citrus because it transmits “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”, the putative causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus ...

The distribution of Dishevelled in convergently extending mesoderm [PDF]

, 2013
Convergent extension (CE) is a conserved morphogenetic movement that drives axial lengthening of the primary body axis and depends on the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway.

Lrp13 is a novel vertebrate lipoprotein receptor that binds vitellogenins in teleost fishes[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Transcripts encoding a novel member of the lipoprotein receptor superfamily, termed LDL receptor-related protein (Lrp)13, were sequenced from striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white perch (Morone americana) ovaries. Receptor proteins were purified from

Biosynthesis of the vitellogenins. Identification and characterization of nonphosphorylated precursors to avian vitellogenin I and vitellogenin II.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1982
Avian vitellogenin consists of two major species designated VTG I and VTG II. Rooster hepatocytes were employed to identify intracellular forms of the vitellogenins and to characterize biosynthetic intermediates of VTG I and VTG II. After labeling with [3H]serine, intracellular vitellogenin radioactivity was seen in mature VTG I and VTG II but was ...

Sialotranscriptomics of the argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata along the trophogonic cycle.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
The argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata is the main vector of human relapsing fever (HRF) and African swine fever (ASF) in Africa. Salivary proteins are part of the host-tick interface and play vital roles in the tick feeding process and the host infection

Involvement of Cis-Acting Elements in Molecular Regulation of JH-Mediated Vitellogenin Gene 2 of Female Periplaneta americana

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Vitellogenins (Vgs) are yolk protein precursors that are regulated by juvenile hormone (JH) and/or 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in insects. JH acts as the principal gonadotropin that stimulates vitellogenesis in hemimetabolous insects.

Immunoblotting Reactivity of Vitellogenin Antibodies against Native Vitellogenins and a Vitellogenin Protein Fragment Produced in E. coli

Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry, 2009
Vitellogenin (Vtg) is found in the serum of both female and male fish that have been exposed to environmental endocrine disrupters or estrogen hormones, and is used as a biomarker for such contamination. In our current study antibodies raised against the purified flatfish Vtg were tested for their reactivity on immunoblots to flatfish and carp Vtg, and

Loss of egg yolk genes in mammals and the origin of lactation and placentation.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Embryonic development in nonmammalian vertebrates depends entirely on nutritional reserves that are predominantly derived from vitellogenin proteins and stored in egg yolk.

Four-way regulation of mosquito yolk protein precursor genes by juvenile hormone-, ecdysone-, nutrient-, and insulin-like peptide signaling pathways. [PDF]

, 2014
Anautogenous mosquito females require a meal of vertebrate blood in order to initiate the production of yolk protein precursors by the fat body. Yolk protein precursor gene expression is tightly repressed in a state-of-arrest before blood meal-related ...
