种内化学通讯是由一种叫做信息素的信号介导的。秀丽隐杆线虫分泌一种小分子混合物(统称为道尔信息素),它调节进入交替道尔幼虫阶段,并通过尚不清楚的受体调节成虫的行为。在这里,我们鉴定了两种G蛋白偶联受体(gpcr),它们在响应一组水信息素成分时介导水的形成。SRBC-64和SRBC-66 gpcr是梭状芽孢杆菌特异性SRBC亚家族的成员,在信息素诱导的水形成所需的ASK化学感觉神经元中表达。这两种受体的表达,而不是每一种受体单独表达,都能对异源细胞产生信息素介导的作用。对信息素受体的识别将使我们更好地理解信号级联反应,这些信号级联反应是生态上重要的化学信号的环境依赖效应。
Intraspecific chemical communication is mediated by signals called pheromones. C. elegans secretes a mixture of small molecules (collectively termed dauer pheromone) that regulates entry into the alternate dauer larval stage and also modulates adult behavior via as yet unknown receptors. Here, we identify two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate dauer formation in response to a subset of dauer pheromone components. The SRBC-64 and SRBC-66 GPCRs are members of the large Caenorhabditis-specific SRBC subfamily, and are expressed in the ASK chemosensory neurons, which are required for pheromone-induced dauer formation. Expression of both, but not each receptor alone, confers pheromone-mediated effects on heterologous cells. Identification of dauer pheromone receptors will allow a better understanding of the signaling cascades that transduce the context-dependent effects of ecologically important chemical signals.
