Partial cloning and characterization of the cDNA of general odorant binding protein 1 gene in the antenna of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)
Entomologia Sinica 8 (4), 289-297
Abstract: Using RT-PCR and RACE techniques, part of the cDNA encoding the general odorant binding protein 1 gene (named as GOBP1-Harra) from the antenna of Helwoverpa armigera (Hubner) has been cloned. The cDNA length of GOBP1-Harm is 876 bp. The results of sequencing and structural analysis showed that the mature protein reading frame of GOBPl-Harm is 435 base pairs in length and 145 amino acids encoded. The predicted MW and pl are 17.0 kD and 4.89, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a highly similarity to the sequence of GOBP1 from different moth species and shared several common structural features with odorant binding proteins from other insects.
