The Mouse Eugenol Odorant Receptor: Structural and Functional Plasticity of a Broadly Tuned Odorant Binding Pocket

, 2016
Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the ability of the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a vast variety of odors with a limited set of receptors.

Onset of Odorant Receptor Gene Expression during Olfactory Sensory Neuron Regeneration [PDF]

, 2001
Individual olfactory sensory neurons are thought to express only one odorant receptor gene from a repertoire of hundreds to thousands of genes. How do these sensory neurons choose just one specific odorant receptor to express during their differentiation?

Early hexapod genomes reveal the deep origin of insect gustatory and odorant receptors

Nature Communications
Insect smell and taste is primarily mediated through a chemoreceptor superfamily that includes three lineages of gustatory receptors—sugar, carbon dioxide, and bitter—and a distinct lineage of odorant receptors.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Co-expression of six tightly clustered odorant receptor genes in the antenna of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
The behavior of female malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae, especially seeking out blood hosts or selecting oviposition sites, highly depends on the detection of relevant odorants by their sense of smell.

Decoding functional specialization in G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) through evolution‐guided residue profiling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that mediate physiological processes by enabling cells to detect and respond to diverse stimuli. Although many subfamily‐specific functional hotspots have been described, the family‐wide determinants of common and subfamily‐specific functions remain incomplete ...

Nicotine as an odorant : a biochemical and electrophysiological study of receptors for nicotine in the olfactory epithelium of the rat [PDF]

The results suggest that nicotine vapour stimulates an in vitro olfactory preparation in three strains of rat and two strains of mouse, in a manner similar to known odorants.
