C Driessen,LD And,HL Ploegh - 《European Journal of Immunology》 被引量: 92发表: 2001年 Genome-wide survey for baculoviral host homologs using the Bombyx genome sequence. The Baculoviridae is a large family of pathogens that are infectious for arthropods, particularly insects of the Lepidoptera....
There are no differences in the relative arrangements of protein-coding and ribosomal RNA genes between Limulus and Drosophila, and none have been observed within arthropods. The high degree of similarity of mitochondrial gene arrangements within arthropods is striking, since some taxa last...
Although these arthropods do not possess as many as a thousand or a hundred legs as suggested by their names, the number of legs possessed by millipedes is larger than that of centipedes. In case of the latter, there is a single pair of legs per segment of the body. On the other hand...
Parasitic nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (flatworms) cause debilitating chronic infections of humans and animals, decimate crop production and are a major impediment to socioeconomic development. Here we report a broad comparative study of 81
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of genes comprising one of the most important components of the vertebrate immune system. Consequently, there has been much interest in characterising MHC variation and its relationship with fitness i
There are three classes of elongation factor: EF1α (462aa; EF-Tu, 394aa in prokaryotes) binds GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA, delivering it to the A site of ribosomes. EF-1β (225aa; EF-Ts, 283aa) helps in regeneration of GTP-EF-1a. EF-2 (858aa; EF-G, 704aa) binds GTP and ...
(Figs.5B, C and D). The GX strain is resistant to four different classes of insecticides albeit at a low level, with the strongest resistance against chlorpyrifos (Additional File3: Table S2). To investigate the cuticle-mediated insecticide resistance ofB. dorsalisin the field and verify the ...
Although it may have been plesiomorphic to a wider group of arthropods, one characteristic of the superclass Crustacea is the possession of a nauplius larva bearing three pairs of functional appendages, antennules, antennae and mandibles. The nauplius larva exhibits basically the same organization ...
