Function and evolution of a mosquito salivary protein family
-
D7 short proteins bind serotonin, histamine and norepinephrine with high affinity
"four of these five short D7 proteins and the D7 long form bind serotonin with high affinity, as well as histamine and norepinephrine"
-
Scavenging host amines antagonizes vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation
"Scavenging of host amines would antagonize their vasoconstrictor, platelet-aggregating, and pain-inducing properties"
Antibody response against saliva antigens of Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti in travellers in tropical Africa
-
D7r3 was identified in female Anopheles gambiae saliva by mass spectrometry
"A proteomic and immunoproteomic analysis of anopheles and Aedes saliva allowed for the identification of some antigens that were recognized by most of the exposed individuals"
A cluster of four D7-related genes is expressed in the salivary glands of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
-
D7r genes are expressed in adult female salivary glands
"Four genes expressed in the Anopheles gambiae adult female salivary glands and similar in sequence to the Aedes aegypti D7 gene were identified"
Trapping cDNAs encoding secreted proteins from the salivary glands of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
-
D7-related genes were identified in A. gambiae salivary glands
"Fragments showing a high degree of similarity to D7 and apyrase, two salivary gland-specific genes previously found in Aedes aegypti, were identified"

Deep research review of D7 family function and evolution
-
D7 proteins function as kratagonists that scavenge host signaling molecules
"D7 proteins are among the most abundant mosquito salivary proteins and function as kratagonists - high-affinity scavengers of host small-molecule inflammatory and hemostatic mediators"
-
Short-form D7s bind biogenic amines
"Short-form D7s (including D7r1) predominantly bind biogenic amines (serotonin/5-HT, histamine, epinephrine/norepinephrine)"
