Contaminant-specific targeting of olfactory sensory neuron classes: connecting neuron class impairment with behavioural deficits.
The olfactory system of fish comprises several classes of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). The odourants L-alanine and taurocholic acid (TCA) specifically activate microvillous or ciliated OSNs, respectively, in fish. We recorded electro-olfactograms (EOG) in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas; a laboratory-reared model species) and wild yellow perch (Perca flavescens) whose olfactory chambe...
متن کاملLamin B1 is required for mature neuron-specific gene expression during olfactory sensory neuron differentiation
B-type lamins are major constituents of the nuclear lamina in all metazoan cells, yet have specific roles in the development of certain cell types. Although they are speculated to regulate gene expression in developmental contexts, a direct link between B-type lamins and developmental gene expression in an in vivo system is currently lacking. Here, we identify lamin B1 as a key regulator of gen...
متن کاملOlfactory marker protein gene: its structure and olfactory neuron-specific expression in transgenic mice.
Olfactory marker protein (OMP) genomic clones were isolated from a Charon 4A phage lambda rat genomic library. A 16.5-kilobase (kb) fragment of the rat genome containing the gene was isolated and characterized. Sequence analysis of the gene showed the absence of introns and the lack of CAAT and TATA boxes in the 5' flanking region. The transcription initiation site was mapped, and two sites 55 ...
متن کاملAn olfactory sensory neuron line, odora, properly targets olfactory proteins and responds to odorants.
The site for interactions between the nervous system and much of the chemical world is in the olfactory sensory neuron (OSN). Odorant receptor proteins (ORPs) are postulated to mediate these interactions. However, the function of most ORPs has not been demonstrated in vivo or in vitro. For this and other reasons, we created a conditionally immortalized cell line derived from the OSN lineage, wh...
متن کاملVesicular Diversity and Crowding within the Olfactory Sensory Receptor Neuron
The olfactory sensory receptor neuron (OSRN) is an important cellular component of the vertebrate olfactory system that are responsible for detection and discrimination of different type of chemical cues from the external environment [1]. The neural communication between the sensory receptor cells is generally mediated through vesicles [2]. The fine structural details of OSRN aim to unfold the ...
