• Identification and characterization of soluble binding proteins associated with host foraging in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata 

      Wulff, Juan Pedro; Segura, Diego Fernando; Devescovi, Francisco; Muntaabski, Irina; Milla, Fabian Horacio; Scannapieco, Alejandra Carla; Cladera, Jorge Luis; Lanzavecchia, Silvia Beatriz (Plos, 2021-06)
      The communication and reproduction of insects are driven by chemical sensing. During this process, chemical compounds are transported across the sensillum lymph to the sensory neurons assisted by different types of soluble ...
    • On how to identify a seminal fluid protein : a response to Wigby et al. 

      Hurtado, Juan; Almeida, Francisca Cunha; Belliard, Silvina Ahnahi; Revale, Santiago; Hasson, Esteban (Wiley, 2022-08)
      The choice of criteria to delimit a group or class is a subjective matter, even though the reasoning, the objectives, and the criteria themselves should always be clearly stated. This paper is part of a discussion about ...
    • Prediction of aquaporin function by integrating evolutionary and functional analyses 

      Perez Di Giorgio, Juliana Andrea; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Alleva, Karina Edith; Jozefkowicz, Cintia; Amodeo, Gabriela; Muschietti, Jorge Prometeo; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (Springer, 2014-02)
      Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of channel proteins, which transport water and/or small solutes across cell membranes. AQPs are present in Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea. The classical AQP evolution paradigm explains the ...
    • Research gaps and new insights in the evolution of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins 

      Hurtado, Juan; Almeida, Francisca Cunha; Belliard, Silvina Ahnahi; Revale, Santiago; Hasson, Esteban (Wiley, 2021-11)
      While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a ...
