Proteo-Trancriptomic Analyses Reveal a Large Expansion of Metalloprotease-Like Proteins in Atypical Venom Vesicles of the Wasp <i>Meteorus pulchricornis</i> (Braconidae)

Proteo-Trancriptomic Analyses Reveal a Large Expansion of Metalloprotease-Like Proteins in Atypical Venom Vesicles of the Wasp <i>Meteorus pulchricornis</i> (Braconidae)

<i>Meteorus pulchricornis</i> (Ichneumonoidea, Braconidae) is an endoparasitoid wasp of lepidopteran caterpillars. Its parasitic success relies on vesicles (named <i>M. pulchricornis</i> Virus-Like Particles or MpVLPs) that are synthesized in the venom gland and injected into...
