Aroma rice, e.g. Basmati and Jasmine rice, is very popular among rice consumers in South and South-East Asia and is becoming famous in USA and Europe. Thailand is one of the major rice exporters; rice produced from Thailand possesses peculiar properties as aroma, appearance, and texture. One outstanding property of Thai rice, known as “Jasmine rice”, is its fragrance. The characteristic flavou...<br/><br/>P Thakeow, S Angeli, S Ripon, P Simapaisan, S Thanapornpoonpong, S Schuetz (2006) <i>CHEMICAL SENSES</i> 31: 8 E63-E63<br/>

Chemical stimuli, generally constituted by small volatile organic molecules, are extremely important for the survival of different insect species. In the course of evolution, insects have developed very sophisticated biochemical systems for the binding and the delivery of specific semiochemicals to their cognate membrane-bound receptors. Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of small soluble pr...<br/><br/>Simona Tomaselli, Orlando Crescenzi, Domenico Sanfelice, Eiso Ab, Rainer Wechselberger, Sergio Angeli, Andrea Scaloni, Rolf Boelens, Teodorico Tancredi, Paolo Pelosi, Delia Picone (2006) <i>Biochemistry</i> <i></i> <i></i> 45: 35 10606-10613<br/>

Trametes versicolor, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Poria placenta are known as wood destructive fungi, causing high economic losses in construction wood and wood composite products. To evaluate the quality of wood as raw-material for the production of high engineering property products, a reliable and sensitive detection of wood rotting fungi is needed. A rapid and non-destructive method for the evalua...<br/><br/>P Thakeow, S Angeli, B Weissbecker, S Schutz (2006) <i>CHEMICAL SENSES</i> 31: 8 E67-E68<br/>

Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are polypeptides of about 200 residues synthesized by plants in response to fungal infection. In addition to the exceptionally strong sweet taste exhibited by some members, they are also reported to be endowed with endo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity and alpha-amylase inhibiting properties. However, the detailed mechanism of their antifungal action is not completely und...<br/><br/>Anna Brandazza, Sergio Angeli, Mariella Tegoni, Christian Cambillau, Paolo Pelosi (2004) <i>FEBS Lett</i> <i></i> <i></i> 572: 1-3 3-7<br/>

BACKGROUND: Several sawfly larvae of the Tenthredinidae (Hymenoptera) are called easy bleeders because their whole body integument, except the head capsule, disrupts very easily at a given spot, under a slight mechanical stress at this spot. The exuding haemolymph droplet acts as a feeding deterrent towards invertebrate predators. The present study aimed to describe the cuticle surface, to conside...<br/><br/>Jean-Luc Boevé, Véronique Ducarme, Tanguy Mertens, Philippe Bouillard, Sergio Angeli (2004) <i>J Nanobiotechnology</i> 2: 1 <br/>

Two different classes of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in Locusta migratoria have been identified on the basis of the molecular cloning of a series of different cDNAs from the antennae of this insect. Several CSP isoforms have been purified and biochemically characterized from antennal and wing extracts, some of them corresponding to expression products predicted for the identified cDNAs. In wings,...<br/><br/>L Ban, A Scaloni, A Brandazza, S Angeli, L Zhang, Y Yan, Paolo Pelosi (2003) <i>Insect Mol Biol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 12: 2 125-134<br/>

The aim of this work was to investigate the olfactory system of the walking stick insect, Carausius morosus. Morphological, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical studies of adult female antennae were conducted by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Extensive cross-section series were made through the last antennal segment to define the cuticular apparatus, wall pore distribution and th...<br/><br/>Gaia Monteforti, Sergio Angeli, Ruggero Petacchi, Antonio Minnocci (2002) <i>Arthropod Struct Dev</i> 30: 3 195-205<br/>

Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of small, soluble proteins present at high concentrations in chemosensory organs of different insect species. Several pieces of evidence suggest their involvement in carrying chemical messages from the environment to chemosensory receptors. However, a structural description of the mechanism of delivery has not been reported. In order to provide the first de...<br/><br/>D Picone, O Crescenzi, S Angeli, S Marchese, A Brandazza, L Ferrara, P Pelosi, A Scaloni (2001) <i>Eur J Biochem</i> <i></i> <i></i> 268: 17 4794-4801<br/>

Soluble low molecular weight acidic proteins are suspected to transport stimulus molecules to the sensory neurons within insect sensilla. From the antennae of Bombyx mori, we have purified and sequenced a protein (BmorCSP1) bearing sequence similarity to a class of soluble chemosensory proteins recently discovered in several orders of insects. Based on its N-terminal sequence, the cDNA encoding th...<br/><br/>J F Picimbon, K Dietrich, S Angeli, A Scaloni, J Krieger, H Breer, P Pelosi (2000) <i>Arch Insect Biochem Physiol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 44: 3 120-129<br/>

Three related nucleotide sequences, encoding mature proteins of 108-113 amino acids, have been obtained from antennal cDNA of the Phasmid Eurycantha calcarata. Among these, one is also expressed in the tarsi as demonstrated by N-terminal sequence and mass spectrometric analyses of protein samples isolated from both organs. PCR experiments performed with specific primers, showed that this species i...<br/><br/>S Marchese, S Angeli, A Andolfo, A Scaloni, A Brandazza, M Mazza, J Picimbon, W S Leal, P Pelosi (2000) <i>Insect Biochem Mol Biol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 30: 11 1091-1098<br/>

Soluble low-molecular-mass protein isoforms were purified from chemosensory organs (antennae, tarsi and labrum) of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria. Five genes encoding proteins of this group were amplified by PCR from cDNAs of tarsi and sequenced. Their expression products are polypeptide chains of 109 amino acids showing 40-50% sequence identity with putative olfactory proteins from Droso...<br/><br/>S Angeli, F Ceron, A Scaloni, M Monti, G Monteforti, A Minnocci, R Petacchi, P Pelosi (1999) <i>Eur J Biochem</i> <i></i> <i></i> 262: 3 745-754<br/>

Pheromone-binding protein (PBP) and general odorant-binding proteins (GOBPs) were purified from the antennae of Bombyx mori and structurally characterised. The amino acid sequence of GOBP-2 has been corrected. The disulphide arrangements of PBP and GOBP-2 have been determined by a combined mass spectrometric/Edman degradation approach.
