Characterization of the ligand-binding properties of odorant-binding protein 38 from Riptortus pedestris when interacting with soybean volatiles by Jianglong Guo, Panjing Liu, Xiaofang Zhang, Jingjie An, Yaofa Li, Tao Zhang, Zhanlin Gao

“…BackgroundRiptortus pedestris (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is a major soybean pest throughout East Asia that relies on its advanced olfactory system for the perception of plant-derived volatile compounds and aggregation pheromones for conspecific and host plant localization. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) facilitate the transport of odorant compounds across the sensillum lymph within the insect olfactory system, enabling their interaction with odorant receptors (ORs).MethodsReal-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses, fluorescence-based competitive binding assays, and molecular docking analyses were applied to assess the expression and ligand-binding properties of OBP38 from R. peddestris.ResultsThe qRT-PCR analyses revealed high levels of RpedOBP38 expression in the antennae without any apparent sex bias, and it was also highly expressed in the adult stage. …”
