While sensitive pheromone-evoked signaling clearly depends on SNMP1s and OBPs, pheromones can directly activate ORs expressed in the absence of these proteins in heterologous cell lines (Grosse-Wilde et al. 2007, Andersson et al. 2016, Yuvaraj et al. 2024) and Xenopus oocytes (Nakagawa et al. 2005, Wang et al. … Visa mer Expression studies have demonstrated the wide association of SNMP1s with pheromone-sensing OSNs (Benton et al. 2007, Forstner et al. 2008, Jin et al. 2008, … Visa mer Based on the biological activities of CD36 family members in lipid sensing and transport, potential mechanisms have been envisaged for the action of SNMP1 in … Visa mer Insights into functionally decisive molecular features of SNMP1 have been obtained by testing Drosophila flies expressing SNMP1 variants bearing distinct … Visa mer Altogether, the SNMP1 type turns out be a critical olfactory element expressed in a subset of OSNs for sensitive and rapid detection of pheromones. In addition, a role … Visa mer

Plant volatiles are the invisible players in the plant-insect co-evolutionary arms race. They are involved in various plant-mediated tri-trophic interactions within the ecosystem. Volatiles, emitted from different parts of the plant, serves as a cue for the host-seeking herbivores. Interestingly, insects perceive and process such ...
