Abstract Background The most abundant family of insect cuticular proteins, the CPR family, is recognized by the R&R Consensus, a domain of about 64 amino acids that binds to chitin and is present...
Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (2006)
Robinson, Gene E, Gibbs, Richard A, Worley, Kim C, Evans, Jay D, Maleszka, Ryszard, ...
Here we report the genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera, a key model for social behaviour and essential to global ecology through pollination. Compared with other sequenced insect genomes,...

Cuticular Proteins in Insects and Crustaceans (1999)
Comparisons between crustacean and insect cuticles are hampered by the paucity of cuticular protein sequences for the former. Sufficient complete sequences are available for insect cuticular proteins...
Juvenile Hormone: The Status of "Status Quo" (1981)
SYNOPSIS. Cuticular proteins show specificity for stage, age, and anatomical region. Analysis of the cuticular proteins of second pupae created by application of juvenile hormone demonstrates that...
