Collision-induced unfolding (CIU) of protein ions, monitored by ion mobility-mass spectrometry, can be used to assess the stability of their compact gas-phase fold and hence provide structural information. The bacterial elongation factor EF-Tu, a key...

A diterpene synthase from the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis produces the pheromone sobralene (2024)
Journal Article
Ducker, C., Baines, C., Guy, J., Euzébio Goulart Santana, A., Pickett, J. A., & Oldham, N. J. (2024). A diterpene synthase from the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis produces the pheromone sobralene. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 121(12), Article e2322453121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2322453121

The phlebotomine sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, a major vector of the Leishmania parasite, uses terpene pheromones to attract conspecifics for mating. Examination of the L. longipalpis genome revealed a putative terpene synthase (TPS), which—upon he...
