Tissue and zonal-specific expression of an olfactory receptor transgene.
Discrimination of odorants is thought to arise from the selective expression of one of a small number of individual receptors in any single olfactory neuron. Receptor genes are expressed in a small subset of neurons throughout a zonally restricted region of the sensory epithelium. We demonstrate that a 6.7 kb region upstream of the M4 olfactory receptor coding region was sufficient to direct ex...
متن کاملInterchromosomal Interactions and Olfactory Receptor Choice
The expression of a single odorant receptor (OR) gene from a large gene family in individual sensory neurons is an essential feature of the organization and function of the olfactory system. We have used chromosome conformation capture to demonstrate the specific association of an enhancer element, H, on chromosome 14 with multiple OR gene promoters on different chromosomes. DNA and RNA fluores...
متن کاملOlfactory receptor accessory proteins play crucial roles in receptor function and gene choice
Each of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) chooses to express a single G protein-coupled olfactory receptor (OR) from a pool of hundreds. Here, we show the receptor transporting protein (RTP) family members play a dual role in both normal OR trafficking and determining OR gene choice probabilities. Rtp1 and Rtp2 double knockout mice (RTP1,2DKO) show OR trafficking defects and decreased OSN ac...
متن کاملCoordination of olfactory receptor choice with guidance receptor expression and function in olfactory sensory neurons
Olfactory sensory neurons choose to express a single odorant receptor (OR) from a large gene repertoire and extend axons to reproducible, OR-specific locations within the olfactory bulb. This developmental process produces a topographically organized map of odorant experience in the brain. The axon guidance mechanisms that generate this pattern of connectivity, as well as those that coordinate ...
متن کاملOdorant receptor gene choice and axonal projection in the mouse olfactory system.
In the mouse olfactory system, each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses a single type of odorant receptor (OR) out of approximately 1,000 in a monoallelic manner. Furthermore, OSNs expressing the same OR converge their axons to a specific set of glomeruli on the olfactory bulb. These two basic principles are fundamental to the peripheral olfactory system, and are regulated by the expressed...
