TLDR
The expression studies clearly demonstrate that insect VgRs are ovary-bound receptors of the LDLR family as compared to LpRs, which are transcribed in a wide range of tissues including ovary, fat body, midgut, brain, testis, Malpighian tubules, and muscles.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Insect Fat Body: Energy, Metabolism, and Regulation
TL;DR: This review focuses on energy storage and release in insects and summarizes current understanding of the mechanisms underlying these processes in insects.

TL;DR: These first ant methylomes and their intra- and interspecies comparison reveal an exonic methylation pattern that points to a connection between DNA methylation and splicing, suggesting roles in genome regulation in these social insects.

TL;DR: The genome and stage-specific transcriptomes of the dampwood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis (Blattodea) are sequence and similarities in the number and expression of genes related to caste determination mechanisms support a hypothesized epigenetic regulation of caste differentiation.

TL;DR: A peptide (P2C) is identified that mediates transduction of Cas9 RNP from the female hemolymph to the developing mosquito oocytes, resulting in heritable gene editing of the offspring with efficiency as high as 0.3 mutants per injected mosquito.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eat to reproduce: a key role for the insulin signaling pathway in adult insects.
TL;DR: The current review will present an overview of the regulatory role of the ISP in female insect reproduction and its interaction with other pathways involving nutrients, lipophilic hormones and neuropeptides.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.
Journal ArticleDOI
A receptor-mediated pathway for cholesterol homeostasis.
TL;DR: The approach was to apply the techniques of cell culture to unravel the postulated regulatory defect in FH, which led to the discovery of a cell surface receptor for a plasma cholesterol transport protein called low density lipoprotein (LDL) and to the elucidation of the mechanism by which this receptor mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence and structure-based prediction of eukaryotic protein phosphorylation sites.
TL;DR: An artificial neural network method is presented that predicts phosphorylation sites in independent sequences with a sensitivity in the range from 69 % to 96 % and predicts novel phosphorylated sites in the p300/CBP protein that may regulate interaction with transcription factors and histone acetyltransferase activity.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis: Concepts Emerging from the LDL Receptor System
Joseph L. Goldstein,Michael S. Brown,Richard G.W. Anderson,David W. Russell,Wolfgang J. Schneider +4 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that intracellular routes in the response of the immune system to EMT are regulated by Tournaisian reprograming, a type of ‘spatially aggregating’ behaviour.

Binding and Degradation of Low Density Lipoproteins by Cultured Human Fibroblasts COMPARISON OF CELLS FROM A NORMAL SUBJECT AND FROM A PATIENT WITH HOMOZYGOUS FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA
TL;DR: It is raised that a prerequisite for the regulation of cholestero-genesis in cultured fibroblasts is the initial binding of low density lipoproteins to the high affinity surface receptor sites and that a defect in this process represents the primary genetic abnormality in the disorder familial hypercholesterolemia.
