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.

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.

Membrane Proteins Mediating Reception and Transduction in Chemosensory Neurons in Mosquitoes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Mosquitoes use chemical cues to modulate important behaviors such as feeding, mating, and egg laying. The primary chemosensory organs comprising the paired antennae, maxillary palps and labial palps are adorned with porous sensilla that house primary ...

Identification of candidate chemosensory genes in Mythimna separata by transcriptomic analysis

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata, is an economically important and common Lepidopteran pest of cereal crops. Chemoreception plays a key role in insect life, such as foraging, oviposition site selection, and mating partners.

Identification and Expression Profiling of Chemosensory Genes in Hermetia illucens via a Transcriptomic Analysis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is a cosmopolitan insect of the family Stratiomyidae (Diptera). Chemosensory genes encode proteins involved directly in the detection of odorants.

Chemosensory Gene Expression for Two Closely Relative Species Rhodnius robustus and R. prolixus (Hemiptera, Reduviidade, Triatominae) Vectors of Chagas Disease

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Two closely related species, Rhodnius prolixus and Rhodnius robustus, are the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, which is the causative agent of Chagas disease, but clearly exhibit clear-cut differences in their ecological behavior. R.

Transcriptome Analysis of Gene Families Involved in Chemosensory Function in Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Deciphering the molecular mechanisms mediating the chemical senses, taste, and smell has been of vital importance for understanding the nature of how insects interact with their chemical environment. Several gene families are implicated in the

Transcriptome analysis and identification of chemosensory genes in the larvae of Plagiodera versicolora

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background In insects, the chemosensory system is crucial in guiding their behaviors for survival. Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a worldwide leaf-eating forest pest in salicaceous trees.

Cooperation of two distinct coupling proteins creates chemosensory network connections [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017
SignificanceSignal transduction systems are important pathways that organisms use to sense and respond to their environments. Chemotaxis is controlled by a signal transduction system that allows bacteria to coordinate their movement in response to their environment.
