昆虫嗅觉相关蛋白的研究进展

嗅觉是昆虫产生行为的重要物质基础,阐明昆虫嗅觉机理有助于调控昆虫行为和进行害虫治理。近年来,许多与嗅觉相关的生物活性分子和相关基因的发现和克隆,对揭示嗅觉机理具有重要作用。作者针对近年来研究较多的气味结合蛋白、化学感受蛋白、气味受体、气味降解酶以及感觉神经元膜蛋白等,就其生化特性、表达部位、分子结构、生理功能等进行了综述。

Research progresses of proteins related with insect olfactory

Olfactory plays important roles in the behavior of insects, illustrating the olfactory mechanism will be useful to regulate insect behaviors for effective pest control. In recent years, many bioactive molecules and genes associated with olfactory were identified, which could be helpful to promote the understanding olfactory mechanism of insects. This paper summarized the odorant binding protein, chemosensory proteins, odorant receptors, odor degrading enzymes and sensory neuron membrane proteins of insects,including their biochemical characteristics, distribution and expression, molecular structure and physiological function.
