Trafficking of Mammalian Chemosensory Receptors by Receptor‐transporting Proteins [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 Although mammalian odorant receptors (ORs) were identified more than 15 years ago, we still do not understand how odorant molecules interact with ORs at a molecular level. Previous studies of mammalian ORs have tested few ORs against many odorants. Some fundamental properties of the olfactory system, however, require investigation of a wide panel of ...

Different noses for different mice and men
BMC Biology, 2012 Chemosensory receptor genes encode G protein-coupled receptors with which animals sense their chemical environment. The large number of chemosensory receptor genes in the genome and their extreme genetic variability pose unusual challenges for ...

Insects, 2023 Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of soluble proteins that facilitate the recognition of chemical signals in insects. While CSP genes have been identified in many insect species, studies investigating their function remain limited.

Identification of chemosensory proteins for trichloroethylene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2005 The involvement of the chemotaxis gene cluster 1 (cheYZABW) and cheR in repellent responses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to trichloroethylene (TCE) is described and three methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) for TCE are identified. TCE chemotaxis assays of a number of deletion-insertion mutants of P.

Positioning of the Motility Machinery in Halophilic Archaea
mBio, 2019 Bacteria and archaea exhibit tactical behavior and can move up and down chemical gradients. This tactical behavior relies on a motility structure, which is guided by a chemosensory system.

A divergent CheW confers plasticity to nucleoid-associated chemosensory arrays.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Chemosensory systems are highly organized signaling pathways that allow bacteria to adapt to environmental changes. The Frz chemosensory system from M. xanthus possesses two CheW-like proteins, FrzA (the core CheW) and FrzB.

Olfactory Receptor Proteins in Axonal Processes of Chemosensory Neurons [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 Olfactory receptors are supposed to act not only as molecular sensors for odorants but also as cell recognition molecules guiding the axons of olfactory neurons to their appropriate glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. This concept implies that olfactory receptor proteins are located in sensory cilia and in the axons.
