Role for Transferrin in Triggering Apoptosis in Helicoverpa armigera Cells Treated with 2-Tridecanone.

It is found that HaTrf mediates the inhibition of apoptotic cell death during exposure to 2-tridecanone and provides insight into the importance of transferrin in the interaction between plants and insects.

Transcriptional profiling of transferrin gene from Egyptian cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis

While SpliTrf expression is upregulated upon bacterial infection, it is downregulated upon baculoviral infection and the role of transferrin in iron metabolism as well as in host immune physiology is discussed.

Functional disruption of transferrin expression alters reproductive physiology in Anopheles culicifacies

Iron supplementation and dsRNA mediated knockdown experiments together confer that AcTrf1a may have key role in the iron homeostasis regulation during oogenesis, and egg maturation in the gravid female mosquitoes.

Dynamics of Transferrin 2 (Tsf2) Expression in Various Developmental Stages of Culex quinquefasciatus

An elevation in the fold change expression of Tsf2 in the larval to pupal stages followed by a decline in the folds of the adult stage is observed, suggesting that the upregulation may be because of the microbial challenge or the aquatic stages are programmed to synthesis moreTsf2 to encounter the upcoming microbes present in the aquatic environment.

In insect transferrins, unlike those of any other group of organisms, are exported into the extracellular space (hemolymph) and may be involved in iron transport and/or protection against iron overload in the diet.

Isolation and characterization of a termite transferrin gene up‐regulated on infection

No widespread evidence for pathogen‐mediated positive selection was detected at this locus, unlike certain vertebrate transferrin lineages, and codon‐based tests for selection among known insect transferrins revealed only a small proportion of cod on‐sites positively selected.

Mosquito transferrin, an acute-phase protein that is up-regulated upon infection.

The hypothesis is developed that this transferrin plays a role similar to vertebrate lactoferrin in sequestering iron from invading organisms and that degradation of the structure of the C-terminal lobe might be a mechanism for evading pathogens that elaborate transferrin receptors to tap sequestered iron.

Mosquitoes and all other insects so far examined have an abundant haemolymph transferrin (Tsf) proteins, which may be involved in iron transport, in oogenesis and in innate immune defence against parasites and pathogens.
