项目摘要
Abstract
Opsins are classical G-protein coupled receptors, which for more than a century have been thought to function
exclusively as light detectors. However, using Drosophila, we have uncovered multiple, light-independent roles
for opsins including detection of bitter tastants. This discovery raises exciting questions, which we propose to
address here. Do opsins only respond to bitter compounds, or do they function more broadly in taste
sensation? Of particular interest, do opsins serve as taste receptors in other animals, including the mosquito,
Aedes (Ae.) aegypti? This vector spreads viruses that cause dengue, yellow fever, and other diseases that
afflict millions of people each year. Both male and female Aedes use taste to identify nectar and avoid toxic
chemicals, while females use many senses to identify people for blood meals. However, the receptors required
for mosquito taste are largely unknown. Another fascinating question is whether opsins serve as taste
receptors in mammals. To address these questions, we propose to employ an extensive suite of approaches
including electrophysiology, Ca2+ imaging, behavioral assays, cell biology, an in vitro receptor activation assay,
and state-of-the art molecular genetics. We will also bring to bear our expertise in Drosophila taste, opsins, and
our recent experience performing molecular genetics and behavior in Ae. aegypti and in the mouse. Aim 1 will
define the role of a Drosophila opsin in amino acid taste, which in flies is a poorly understood taste modality.
Attraction to amino acids increases if the flies are kept on an amino acid deficient diet. We outline experiments
to define the contribution of the opsin to this dynamic change in amino acid appeal. We will also test the
proposal that the opsin is activated directly by amino acids. Aim 2 will build on our preliminary data that two Ae.
aegypti opsins are expressed in the major taste organ, and are required for sensing a flavonoid. The goals of
this aim are to reveal the chemical specificity of these opsins in vitro and in vivo, determine whether they act
independently or together, and identify the gustatory receptor neurons in which these opsins function. Aim 3
will characterize the roles of opsins in mammalian taste. This aim is supported by preliminary data showing
that multiple mouse opsins are expressed in the mouse tongue, and are activated in vitro by bitter compounds,
including a flavonoid for which there is no known receptor. In addition, we present preliminary data that the
response to this flavonoid is impaired in the opsin mutant. We propose to test the hypothesis that this opsin
functions broadly in sensing flavonoids, identify the taste receptor cells that express this and the other
“gustatory opsins,” and perform behavioral tests with mutants to characterize the requirements for each opsin
for sensing bitter compounds. The results from this project would establish opsins as a new class of taste
receptor conserved from insects to mammals. We propose that defining opsins as the first bitter receptors in
mosquitoes offers the potential to harness this information to manipulate mosquito behavior and thereby
reduce their populations and thus insect-borne disease.
抽象的
视蛋白是经典的 G 蛋白偶联受体,一个多世纪以来一直被认为具有功能
专门用作光探测器。然而,利用果蝇,我们发现了多种与光无关的作用
用于视蛋白,包括检测苦味剂。这一发现提出了令人兴奋的问题,我们建议
地址在这里。视蛋白只对苦味化合物有反应,还是它们在味觉上发挥更广泛的作用
感觉?特别有趣的是,视蛋白在其他动物(包括蚊子)中充当味觉受体吗?
埃及伊蚊(Ae.)?该载体传播导致登革热、黄热病和其他疾病的病毒
每年困扰数百万人。雄性和雌性伊蚊都利用味觉来识别花蜜并避免有毒物质
化学物质,而女性则使用多种感官来识别需要血粉的人。然而,需要的受体
蚊子的味道很大程度上是未知的。另一个有趣的问题是视蛋白是否起到味觉的作用
哺乳动物体内的受体。为了解决这些问题,我们建议采用一系列广泛的方法
包括电生理学、Ca2+ 成像、行为测定、细胞生物学、体外受体激活测定、
和最先进的分子遗传学。我们还将利用我们在果蝇味觉、视蛋白和
我们最近在AE中进行分子遗传学和行为的经验。埃及伊蚊和小鼠。目标1将

如果果蝇的饮食缺乏氨基酸,对氨基酸的吸引力就会增加。我们概述了实验

这个目的是揭示这些视蛋白在体外和体内的化学特异性,确定它们是否起作用
独立或一起,并识别这些视蛋白在其中发挥作用的味觉受体神经元。目标 3
将描述视蛋白在哺乳动物味觉中的作用。这一目标得到了初步数据的支持,显示
