Olfactory receptors in non-chemosensory tissues
Olfactory receptors (ORs) detect volatile chemicals that lead to the initial perception of smell in the brain. The olfactory receptor (OR) is the first protein that recognizes odorants in the olfactory signal pathway and it is present in over 1,000 genes in mice. It is also the largest member of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Most ORs are extensively expressed in the nasal olfactory e...
متن کاملVariant Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors as Chemosensory Receptors in Drosophila
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate neuronal communication at synapses throughout vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. We have characterized a family of iGluR-related genes in Drosophila, which we name ionotropic receptors (IRs). These receptors do not belong to the well-described kainate, AMPA, or NMDA classes of iGluRs, and they have divergent ligand-binding domains that l...
متن کاملAssaying surface expression of chemosensory receptors in heterologous cells.
The vivid world of odors is recognized by the sense of olfaction. Olfaction in mice is mediated by a repertoire of about 1200 G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) that are postulated to bind volatile odorant molecules and converting the extracellular signal into an intracellular signal by coupling with G protein Gαolf. Binding of the odorants to the receptors is thought to follow a combinatorial...
متن کاملAncient Protostome Origin of Chemosensory Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors and the Evolution of Insect Taste and Olfaction
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a highly conserved family of ligand-gated ion channels present in animals, plants, and bacteria, which are best characterized for their roles in synaptic communication in vertebrate nervous systems. A variant subfamily of iGluRs, the Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), was recently identified as a new class of olfactory receptors in the fruit fly, Drosophila ...
متن کاملChemosensory Physiology of Nematodes
Little is yet known about the subject of this paper. Several sciences like deve!opmental biology have profited from the use of Caenorhabditis elegans as a mode! (Wood, 1988), Although the neuroanatomy of nematodes has been weil examined in this model, the neurosciences made progress with other animals, The sequencing of the C. elegans genome as part of the Human Genome Project (Sulston el al., ...
