Novel cDNAs encoding salivary proteins from the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

AbstractSeveral genes encoding salivary components of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae were identified using a selective trapping approach. Among these, five corresponded to genes expressed specifically in female glands and their role may possibly be linked to blood-feeding. Our collection included a fourth member of the D7 protein family and two polypeptides that showed weak similarity to anti-coagulants from distantly related species. Moreover, we identified two additional members of a novel group of proteins that we named glandins. The isolation of tissue-specific genes represents a first step toward a deeper molecular analysis of mosquito salivary secretions
