TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis using 31 Vg sequences from 25 insect species reflects, in general, the current phylogenies of insects, suggesting that Vgs are still phylogenetically bound, although a divergence exists among them.About:

Vitellogenin expression in the oilseed rape pest Meligethes aeneus.
Caroline Kaiser,Christina Lazaridou,Karl-Martin Vagn Jensen,Rodrigo Labouriau,Michael Kristensen +4 more
TL;DR: Detailed observations of vitellogenin throughout the spring indicated a strong relationship between daily temperatures and viteLLogenin expression, which is an indicator of oviposition ability, and is a successful marker for identification of sexually mature pollen beetles.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference targeting Ras GTPase gene Ran causes larval and adult lethality in Leptinotarsa decemlineata.
TL;DR: Considering that the larvae, adults and eggs are simultaneously sited on the potato plants, bacterially-expressed dsLdRan is a potential RNAi-based strategy for managing L. decemlineata in the potato field.

Resolving the zinc binding capacity of honey bee vitellogenin and locating its putative binding sites
Vilde Leipart,Øyvind Enger,Diana Cornelia Turcu,Olena Dobrovolska,Finn Drabløs,Øyvind Halskau,Gro V. Amdam +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that honey bee Vg bind zinc at several functional regions, indicating that Zn2+ -ions are important for many of the activities of this protein.

Does estrogen regulate vitellogenin synthesis in corals
Ee Suan Tan,Hirono Hamazato,Takahiro Ishii,Kenshiro Taira,Yuki Takeuchi,Hiroki Takekata,Naoko Isomura,Akihiro Takemura +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of E2 on vitellogenin synthesis in corals and identified steroidogenic enzymes in A. tenuis genome was investigated and the results indicate that E2 is involved in oogenesis but does not positively regulate viteLLogenin production.
Posted ContentDOI
Honey bee suppresses the parasitic mite Vitellogenin by antimicrobial peptide
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the mechanism of DWV transmission by the honey bee parasitic mite to the host, and the novel role of AMP in defending against mite infestation, which indicates that the honey Bee AMP manipulates mite reproduction upon feeding on bee.

Mammalian subtilisins: The long-sought dibasic processing endoproteases
TL;DR: After many years of searching for the enzymes responsible for cleavage of mammalian proproteins and prohormones at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues (“dibasic sites”), the solution to this enigma of cell biology appears to be in sight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of yolk proteins in insect oocytes
TL;DR: In insects, accumulation of yolk, or vitellogenesis, is a heterosynthetic pro cess, in which an extraovarian tissue, the fat body, produces yolk protein precursors, and the role of endocytosis in yolk deposition in insect oocytes is implicated.
