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:

TL;DR: The proteomic approaches involving 2-DE, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), and MS/MS were used to document changes in adult P. citri during 24h of abamectin exposure to identify differentially expressed proteins that were mainly involved in energy metabolism and detoxification.

Molecular cloning, structural analysis, and the developmental expression of vitellogenin in the giant mealworm Zophobas atratus
TL;DR: The results suggest that the expression level of ZaVg is adult-stage specific, which providing basic information on Vg and oocyte development in Z. atratus.

Effects of food sources on the fecundity and gene expression of vitellogenin and its receptor from Amblyseius eharai (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences between the AeVgs and AeVGR and 35 other Vg and VgRs from other arthropod species showed that A. eharai AeVg1 was related most closely to Neoseiulus barkeri Vg1, AeV g2 was relatedmost closely toNeoseuulus cucumeris Vg2, and AevgR was most similar to Varroa jacobsori Vg
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of yolk protein in the Drosophila oocyte
TL;DR: It is shown that PTB domaincontaining phagocytic protein Ced-6 is expressed in the cortical region of oocyte of the egg chamber and this model led to a model where both AP-2 and Ced- 6 interact with Yolkless independently to ensure its internalization.

How Honey Bee Vitellogenin Holds Lipid Cargo: A Role for the C-Terminal
TL;DR: In this paper , a shielding mechanism that allows the C-terminal region of Vitellogenin to cover a large hydrophobic area exposed in the all-atom model is proposed.

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.

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.
