The fruit fly is a fruit crop pest that causes a severe economic threat to soft summer fruit worldwide. The male sex pheromone, cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) has multiple functions in intra-species communication in , which is required in male to suppress male-male courtship. males do not produce cVA; however, the odorant receptor for cVA (Or67d) is still functional. The lack of cVA in casts the question of whether this pheromone might have been replaced by another compound similar to cVA that disrupts mating in . In order to address this question, we cloned two adult antenna-specific odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) DsOBP69a and DsOBP76a and aligned with their orthologues. Moreover, we examined the binding pro... More
