Article Abstract
In 1991, Buck and Axel published a landmark study in Cell for work that was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize. The identification of the olfactory receptors as the largest family of GPCRs catapulted olfaction into mainstream neurobiology. This BenchMark revisits Buck's experimental innovation and its surprising success at the time.

The olfactory system of insects plays a vital role in their survival by enabling them to detect chemical cues and adapt to changing environments. The rape stem weevil, Ceutorhynchus asper, is a significant pest posing a challenge for rapeseed production due to its destructive feeding habit and increasing resistance to insecticides. So far, there's still limited knowledge about structure and function of odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in beetles like C.

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.

This study maps the surfaceome of Apis mellifera hemocytes, the protagonist cells in honey bee cellular immunity. The surfaceome, proteins expressed at the cell surface, is crucial as it determines how cells interact with their microenvironment. Through a combination of proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, 1142 genes encoding cell surface proteins were identified, revealing a high level of diversity.
