Characterization of Nit Sheath Protein Functions and Transglutaminase-Mediated Crosslinking in the Human Head Louse, Pediculus Humanus Capitis

2021-05-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Head louse females secrete liquid glue during oviposition, which is solidified to form the nit sheath over the egg. Recently, two homologous proteins, named as louse nit sheath protein (LNSP) 1 and LNSP2, were identified as adhesive proteins but the precise mechanism of nit sheath solidification is unknown.MethodsWe determined the temporal transcriptome profiles of the head louse accessory gl...
