In Silico Analysis of a <i>Drosophila</i> Parasitoid Venom Peptide Reveals Prevalence of the Cation–Polar–Cation Clip Motif in Knottin Proteins

In Silico Analysis of a <i>Drosophila</i> Parasitoid Venom Peptide Reveals Prevalence of the Cation–Polar–Cation Clip Motif in Knottin Proteins

As generalist parasitoid wasps, <i>Leptopilina heterotoma</i> are highly successful on many species of fruit flies of the genus <i>Drosophila</i>. The parasitoids produce specialized multi-strategy extracellular vesicle (EV)-like structures in their venom. Proteomic analysis...
