Assaying surface expression of chemosensory receptors in heterologous cells.
The vivid world of odors is recognized by the sense of olfaction. Olfaction in mice is mediated by a repertoire of about 1200 G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) that are postulated to bind volatile odorant molecules and converting the extracellular signal into an intracellular signal by coupling with G protein Gαolf. Binding of the odorants to the receptors is thought to follow a combinatorial...
متن کاملExpression of taste receptors in Solitary Chemosensory Cells of rodent airways
BACKGROUND Chemical irritation of airway mucosa elicits a variety of reflex responses such as coughing, apnea, and laryngeal closure. Inhaled irritants can activate either chemosensitive free nerve endings, laryngeal taste buds or solitary chemosensory cells (SCCs). The SCC population lies in the nasal respiratory epithelium, vomeronasal organ, and larynx, as well as deeper in the airway. The o...
متن کاملHeterologous Expression of Bovine Prochymosin in Pichia pastoris GS115
Objectives: In present research we evaluate the expression of this critical enzyme in a eukaryotic system for future use in cheese industry. Materials and Methods: We have cloned bovine prochymosin gene in methylotrophic yeast, P. pastoris, using pPIC9K as an expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the host by electroporation, and it was expre...
متن کاملProtocol for Heterologous Expression of Insect Odourant Receptors in Drosophila
Insect olfactory receptors (ORs) are tuned to volatile chemicals, they are expressed in the membrane of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), housed in sensilla on the antenna. The olfactory apparatus is under strong selection and ORs are tuned to vital chemical signals, mediating social communication, feeding and oviposition, and avoidance of predators and pathogens. An emerging technique to relia...
متن کاملP-17: Expression of Cell Surface Toll-Like Receptors in the Human Male Reproductive Tract
Background: Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to achieve a pregnancy in a fertile female. The root of many causes of infertility is miscommunication between immune and reproductive system. Male reproductive system is very sensitive and vulnerable, infections can hinder maturation and movement of spermatozoa lead to impaired fertility.All species need an immediate reply to the m...
