A Systematic Analysis of Drosophila Gustatory Receptor Gene Expression in Abdominal Neurons which Project to the Central Nervous System [PDF]

Molecules and Cells, 2011
In Drosophila, the gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family contains 60 family members that encode 68 proteins through alternative splicing. Some gustatory receptors (Grs) are involved in the sensing of sugars, bitter substrates, CO(2), pheromones, and light. Here, we systematically examined the expression of all 68 Grs in abdominal neurons which project to

Atypical expression of Drosophila gustatory receptor genes in sensory and central neurons

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2007
AbstractMembers of the Drosophila gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family are generally expressed in chemosensory neurons and are known to mediate the perception of sugars, bitter substrates, CO2, and pheromones. The Gr gene family consists of 68 members, many of which are organized in gene clusters of up to six genes, yet only expression of about 15 Gr ...

Behavioral Analysis ofDrosophilaTransformants Expressing Human Taste Receptor Genes in the Gustatory Receptor Neurons

Journal of Neurogenetics, 2012
Transgenic Drosophila expressing human T2R4 and T2R38 bitter-taste receptors or PKD2L1 sour-taste receptor in the fly gustatory receptor neurons and other tissues were prepared using conventional Gal4/UAS binary system. Molecular analysis showed that the transgene mRNAs are expressed according to the tissue specificity of the Gal4 drivers ...

Gustatory receptor neuron responds to DEET and other insect repellents in the yellow-fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

Die Naturwissenschaften, 2013
Three gustatory receptor neurons were characterized for contact chemoreceptive sensilla on the labella of female yellow-fever mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti. The neuron with the smallest amplitude spike responded to the feeding deterrent, quinine, as well as N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide and other insect repellents.

Two antagonistic gustatory receptor neurons responding to sweet‐salty and bitter taste in Drosophila

Journal of Neurobiology, 2004
AbstractIn Drosophila, gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) occur within hair‐like structures called sensilla. Most taste sensilla house four GRNs, which have been named according to their preferred sensitivity to basic stimuli: water (W cell), sugars (S cell), salt at low concentration (L1 cell), and salt at high concentration (L2 cell).

Immune responses in the injured olfactory and gustatory systems: a role in olfactory receptor neuron and taste bud regeneration?

Chemical Senses, 2022
Abstract Sensory cells that specialize in transducing olfactory and gustatory stimuli are renewed throughout life and can regenerate after injury unlike their counterparts in the mammalian retina and auditory epithelium. This uncommon capacity for regeneration offers an opportunity to understand mechanisms that promote the recovery of ...

Two closely located areas in the suboesophageal ganglion and the tritocerebrum receive projections of gustatory receptor neurons located on the antennae and the proboscis in the mothHeliothis virescens

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2006
Sucrose stimulation of gustatory receptor neurons on the antennae, the tarsi, and the mouthparts elicits the proboscis extension reflex in many insect species, including lepidopterans. The sensory pathways involved in this reflex have only partly been investigated, and in hymenopterans only.

Bitter-sensitive gustatory receptor neuron responds to chemically diverse insect repellents in the common malaria mosquito Anopheles quadrimaculatus

The Science of Nature, 2016
Female mosquitoes feed on blood from animal hosts to obtain nutritional resources used for egg production. These contacts facilitate the spread of harmful human diseases. Chemical repellents are used to disrupt mosquito host-seeking and blood-feeding behaviors; however, little is known about the gustatory sensitivity of mosquitoes to known repellents ...

Sensitivity of antennal gustatory receptor neurones to aphid honeydew sugars in the carabid Anchomenus dorsalis

Physiological Entomology, 2012
Using electrophysiology, the stimulating effect of 13 sugars and three sugar alcohols (each at a concentration of 100 m m ) to antennal gustatory receptor neurones (GRNs) is tested in the carabid beetle Anchomenus dorsalis (Pontoppidan, 1763 ...
