Identification of a specific olfactory receptor for 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine.

چکیده
2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, a potent bell-pepper odorant, binds to cow olfactory mucosa homogenate. The receptor is saturable in the micromolar range and is competitively inhibited by other bell-pepper odourants, but not by other pyrazines of different odours. Other tissues do not bind 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine at a significant extent. We suggest that this receptor is involved in odour discrimination.

The odorant-sensitive adenylate cyclase of olfactory receptor cells. Differential stimulation by distinct classes of odorants.
We have characterized odorant-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in isolated chemosensory cilia prepared from frog and rat olfactory epithelium. Cilia from both species exhibit high levels of adenylate cyclase activity. Basal activity is stimulated approximately 2-fold by GTP and approximately 5-fold by guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate and forskolin. Odorants augment enzyme activity 30-65...
متن کاملMeasurement of 3-Alkyl-2-Methoxypyrazine by Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction in Spiked Model Wines
285 Premium wine quality can be achieved only through a favorable balance between fruit, fermentation, and processingderived aromas and flavors. The 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazines produce vegetative odors characteristic of green bell peppers and peas. The olfactory threshold at which these compounds are sensed is extraordinarily low: 1 to 10 ng/L in water. These compounds, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyraz...
متن کاملDetermination of ppq-levels of alkylmethoxypyrazines in wine by stirbar sorptive extraction combined with multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Alkylmethoxypyrazines are powerful odorants in many food products. A new method for analysing 3-isopropyl-2-methoxypyrazine, 3-s-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine and 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine has been developed and applied to wine. The analytes were extracted from 5 mL of wine using stirbar sorptive extraction followed by thermal desorption and multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry an...
متن کاملDynamics of odorant binding to thin aqueous films of rat-OBP3.
Uptake, retention and release of 5 selected odorants (benzaldehyde, 2-methylpyrazine, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2-isobutylthiazole, and 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole) by recombinant rat odor-binding protein 3 (rat-OBP3) were measured in a model system under nonequilibrium conditions. Gaseous odorants were introduced into a 100 mm section of a polar deactivated capillary in which aqueous rat-OBP3 ...

Phytoplasmas are bacterial phytopathogens that release virulence effectors into sieve cells and act systemically to affect the physiological and morphological state of host plants to promote successful pathogenesis. We show here that transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana lines expressing the secreted effector SAP11 from Candidatus Phytoplasma mali exhibit an altered aroma phenotype. This phenomenon ...
