Biochemical and Genetic Studies of UBR3, a Ubiquitin Ligase with a Function in Olfactory and Other Sensory Systems [PDF]

, 2007
Our previous work identified E3 ubiquitin ligases, termed UBR1-UBR7, that contain the ~70-residue UBR box, a motif important for the targeting of N-end rule substrates.

Insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) can be a useful tool for studying olfactory-related GPCRs. [PDF]

, 2012
The detergents used to solubilize GPCRs can make crystal growth the rate-limiting step in determining their structure. The Kobilka laboratory showed that insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) in the 3rd intracellular loop is a promising strategy towards ...

A reverse chemical ecology approach to explore wood natural durability [PDF]

, 2020
The natural durability of wood species, defined as their inherent resistance to wood‐destroying agents, is a complex phenomenon depending on many biotic and abiotic factors.

Antennal Transcriptome Analysis of the Chemosensory Gene Families From Trichoptera and Basal Lepidoptera

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The chemosensory gene families of insects encode proteins that are crucial for host location, mate finding, oviposition, and avoidance behaviors. The insect peripheral chemosensory system comprises odorant receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs ...

Olfactory receptors for a smell sensor: A comparative study of the electrical responses of rat I7 and human 17-40

, 2011
In this paper we explore relevant electrical properties of two olfactory receptors (ORs), one from rat OR I7 and the other from human OR 17-40, which are of interest for the realization of smell nanobiosensors.

An Olfactory Receptor Pseudogene whose Function emerged in Humans [PDF]

, 2007
Human olfactory receptor, hOR17-210, is identified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Experimental data has shown however, that the gene product of cloned hOR17-210 cDNA was able to bind an odorant-binding protein and is narrowly tuned for excitation ...

Three Odorant-binding Proteins from Rabbit Nasal Mucosa [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 1997
Following the purification of an odorant-binding protein (OBP) from rabbit nasal mucosa, we have identified, purified and partially characterized two additional OBPs from the nasal tissue of the same animal species. OBP-II is a monomer of 21 kDa and isoelectric point 4.2; OBP-III is a dimer with subunits of 23 kDa and isoelectric point 4.8. Like OBP-I,

Perception‐transduction‐transmission separation bionic H2S sensor

InfoScience, EarlyView.
The modular separation of biological olfactory systems boasts unparalleled efficiency in olfactory recognition. Introducing this perception‐transduction‐transmission separation design into chemiresistive gas sensors (bionic olfactory sensing) based on the heterojunction rectification effect overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional sensor ...

Genomic content of chemosensory genes correlates with host range in wood-boring beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Agrilus planipennis, and Anoplophora glabripennis)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Olfaction and gustation underlie behaviors that are crucial for insect fitness, such as host and mate selection. The detection of semiochemicals is mediated via proteins from large and rapidly evolving chemosensory gene families; however, the ...

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
