Molecular switches for pheromone release from a moth pheromone-binding protein.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 8 Aug 2008

Xu Wei, Leal Walter S

Abstract excerpt

Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) are involved in the uptake of pheromones from pores on the antennae, transport through an aqueous environment surrounding the olfactory receptor neurons, and fast delivery to pheromone receptors. We tested the hypothesis that a C-terminal segment and a flexible loop are involved in the release of pheromones to membrane-bound receptors. We expressed in Escherichia coli 11 mutants...
