Analysis of the Insect OS-D-Like Gene Family

Insect OS-D-like proteins, also known as chemosensory (CSP) or sensory appendage proteins (SAP), are broadly expressed in various insect tissues, where they are thought to bind short to medium chain length fatty acids and their derivatives. Although their specific function remains uncertain, OS-D-like members have been isolated from sensory organs (including the sensillum lymph in some cases), and a role in olfaction similar to that of the insect odorant binding proteins (OBP) has been suggested for some. We have identified 15 new OS-D-like sequences: four from cDNA clones described herein and 11 from sequence databases. The os-d-like genes from the Anopheles gambiae, Apis mellifera, Drosophila melanogaster, and Drosophila pseudoobscura genomes typically have single, small introns with a conserved splice site. Together with all family members entered on GenBank, a total of 70 OS-D-like proteins, representing the insect orders Diptera, Dictyoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, and Phasmatodea, were analyzed. A neighbor joining distance phenogram identified several protein similarity classes that were characterized by highly conserved sequence motifs, including (A) N-terminal YTTKYDN(V/I)(N/D)(L/V)DEIL, (B) central DGKELKXX(I/L)PDAL, and (C) C-terminal KYDP. In contrast, three similarity classes were characterized by their diversion from these conserved motifs. The functional importance of conserved amino acid residues is discussed in relation to the crystal and NMR structures of MbraCSPA6.     

Kinetics of the thermal degradation and thermal stability of conductive silicone rubber filled with conductive carbon black

The kinetics of the thermal degradation and thermal stability of conductive silicone rubber filled with conductive carbon black was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis in a flowing nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 5°C/min. The rate parameters were evaluated by the method of Freeman–Carroll. The results show that the thermal degradation of conductive silicone rubber begins at about 350°C and ends at about 600°C. The thermal degradation is multistage, in which zero‐order reactions are principal. The kinetics of the thermal degradation of conductive silicone rubber has relevance to its loading of conductive carbon black. The activation energies are temperature‐sensitive and their sensitivity to temperature becomes weak as temperature increases. In addition, the conductive silicone rubber filled with conductive carbon black has better thermal stability than that of silicone rubber without any fillers. Also, conductive silicone rubber filled with conductive carbon black has better thermal stability than that of silicone rubber filled with the same amount of silica. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
