From neuropeptide and receptor annotation to ligand-receptor pairing: a sequence- and structure-based framework for mapping the neuropeptide-receptor interactome in Gryllus bimaculatus

Febrina Margaretha, Mika Sakamoto, Hitomi Seike, Shinji Nagata, Yasukazu Nakamura, Takako Mochizuki

The paper annotates neuropeptides and GPCRs in Gryllus bimaculatus and predicts ligand-receptor pairs using AlphaFold3 and Boltz-2, providing a resource for studying insect endocrinology.

Two neuropeptide signalings regulate post-mating refusal behavior and reproductive system in male crickets

Zhen Zhu, Shinji Nagata

This study identifies Allatotropin and sNPF neuropeptide signalings as regulators of post-mating refractory behavior and male reproductive system function in Gryllus bimaculatus.
