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.

Immunohistochemistry of the canine vomeronasal organ [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2003 AbstractThe canine's olfactory acuity is legendary, but neither its main olfactory system nor its vomeronasal system has been described in much detail. We used immunohistochemistry on paraffin‐embedded sections of male and female adult dog vomeronasal organ (VNO) to characterize the expression of proteins known to be expressed in the VNO of several ...

Neural mechanisms of social learning in the female mouse [PDF]
, 2017 Social interactions are often powerful drivers of learning. In female mice, mating creates a long-lasting sensory memory for the pheromones of the stud male that alters neuroendocrine responses to his chemosignals for many weeks.

Chemo- and Thermosensory Responsiveness of Grueneberg Ganglion Neurons Relies on Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate Signaling Elements [PDF]
, 2011 Neurons of the Grueneberg ganglion (GG) in the anterior nasal region of mouse pups respond to cool temperatures and to a small set of odorants. While the thermosensory reactivity appears to be mediated by elements of a cyclic guanosine monophosphate ...

Lungfishes, like tetrapods, possess a vomeronasal system
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010 The vomeronasal system (VNS) is an accessory olfactory system that in tetrapod vertebrates is composed of specific receptors neurons in the nasal organ and a set of centers in the forebrain that receive and relay the information consecutively towards the

Shared Lineage, Distinct Outcomes: Yap and Taz Loss Differentially Impact Schwann and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development Without Disrupting GnRH-1 Migration. [PDF]
GliaMain Points OECs, SCs, and Mel derive from SCPs. Sox10Cre;YapHet;TazKO mice show impaired SC maturation, reduced Mel formation, fewer SCPs, OECs, and olfactory neurons, but normal GnRH‐1 neuron migration. ABSTRACT Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) are glial cells originating from the neural crest and are critical for bundling olfactory axons to the ...

Structure of a Pheromone Receptor-Associated MHC Molecule with an Open and Empty Groove [PDF]
, 2005 Neurons in the murine vomeronasal organ (VNO) express a family of class Ib major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins (M10s) that interact with the V2R class of VNO receptors.

Type-Specific inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor Localization in the Vomeronasal Organ and its interaction with a Transient Receptor Potential Channel, TRPC2 [PDF]
, 2002 The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is the receptor portion of the accessory olfactory system and transduces chemical cues that identify social hierarchy, reproductive status, conspecifics and prey.

Imaging pheromone sensing in a mouse vomeronasal acute tissue slice preparation. [PDF]
, 2011 Peter Karlson and Martin Lüscher used the term pheromone for the first time in 1959 to describe chemicals used for intra-species communication. Pheromones are volatile or non-volatile short-lived molecules secreted and/or contained in biological fluids ...
