Identification of candidate odorant degrading gene/enzyme systems in the antennal transcriptome of Drosophila melanogaster

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
The metabolism of volatile signal molecules by odorant degrading enzymes (ODEs) is crucial to the ongoing sensitivity and specificity of chemoreception in various insects, and a few specific esterases, cytochrome P450s, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) have previously been implicated in this process.

Transcriptomic analysis of male diamondback moth antennae: Response to female semiochemicals and allyl isothiocyanate. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Female semiochemicals and allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) attract moths, and the moths use odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) to break down the excess odor.

Mechanisms of Impact of Alnus ferdinandi-coburgii Odor Substances on Host Location of Tomicus yunnanensis [PDF]

Insects
In the chemosensory system of insects, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) play a role in the host location process.

The genome and stage-specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Putative carboxylesterase gene identification and their expression patterns in Hyphantria cunea (Drury) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
The olfactory system of insects is important for behavioral activities as it recognizes internal and external volatile stimuli in the environment. Insect odorant degrading enzymes (ODEs), including antennal-specific carboxylesterases (CXEs), are known to

Identification and Functional Analysis of Glutathione S-Transferases from Sitophilus zeamais in Olfactory Organ

Insects, 2022
Odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) play an important role in rapidly degrading and inactivating odorant molecules that have completed information transmission, as well as in maintaining the stability and sensitivity of insect olfactory sensing systems ...

Identification of Candidate Carboxylesterases Associated With Odorant Degradation in Holotrichia parallela Antennae Based on Transcriptome Analysis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Insects rely on their olfactory systems in antennae to recognize sex pheromones and plant volatiles in surrounding environments. Some carboxylesterases (CXEs) are odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs), degrading odorant signals to protect the olfactory ...

Molecular basis for the behavioral effects of the odorant degrading enzyme Esterase 6 in Drosophila [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractPrevious electrophysiological and behavioural studies implicate esterase 6 in the processing of the pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate and various food odorants that affect aggregation and reproductive behaviours. Here we show esterase 6 has relatively high activity against many of the short-mid chain food esters, but negligible activity against ...

Differential Expression Analysis of Chemoreception Genes in the Striped Flea Beetle Phyllotreta striolata Using a Transcriptomic Approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Olfactory transduction is a process by which olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) transform odor information into neuronal electrical signals. This process begins with the binding of odor molecules to receptor proteins on olfactory receptor neuron (ORN ...
