Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble proteins in insect chemical communication
TL;DR: The structural properties of both classes of soluble proteins, their affinity to small ligands, and their expression in the different parts of the insect body and subcellular localisation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant-binding proteins
TL;DR: Vertebrates OBPs show significant sequence similarity with a superfamily of soluble carrier proteins called lipocalins, and some proteins of particular interest are thought to be involved in the mechanism of releasing and modulating chemical messages with pheromonal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond chemoreception: diverse tasks of soluble olfactory proteins in insects.
TL;DR: The wide versatility of both OBPs and CSPs in nature has suggested several different uses for these proteins in biotechnological applications, from biosensors for odours to scavengers for pollutants and controlled releasers of chemicals in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble proteins of chemical communication: an overview across arthropods.
TL;DR: It is proposed that lipid-transporter proteins of the Niemann-Pick type C2 family could represent likely candidates for the role of OBPs in insects and report the results of an analysis of their sequences in representative species of different arthropods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant-binding proteins in insects

TL;DR: The characteristics of pheromone and odorant-binding proteins (OBP) in insects, with particular reference to Lepidoptera, are reviewed, suggesting that these proteins may be involved in the discrimination of odours.
