Title:
ODORANT RECEPTOR CO-RECEPTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/062203
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an insect odorant receptor co-receptor that exhibits excellent detection sensitivity of odorants when bound with an odorant receptor to form an odorant receptor complex. This odorant receptor co-receptor is provided with the following first amino acid sequence and second amino acid sequence which follows the amino acid residue furthest on the carboxyl-terminal side of the first amino acid sequence: (1) a first amino acid sequence which is a partial amino acid sequence of an odorant receptor co-receptor of a first insect or a variant of the receptor, and which is an amino acid sequence that is continuous from the amino-terminal of the first insect odorant receptor co-receptor or the variant thereof to any amino acid residue positioned in the range of 20 amino acid residues before and after the amino acid residue furthest on the carboxyl-terminal side in the fourth transmembrane domain; and (2) a second amino acid sequence which is a partial amino acid sequence of an odorant receptor co-receptor of a second insect of a different variety than the first insect or a variant of the receptor, and which, in an alignment analysis of the amino acid sequence of the first insect odorant receptor co-receptor or the variant thereof and the amino acid sequence of the second insect odorant receptor co-receptor or the variant thereof, is an amino acid sequence that is continuous from one carboxyl-terminal-side amino acid residue, said residue being in a position in the second insect odorant receptor co-receptor or the variant thereof that corresponds to the amino acid residue furthest on the carboxyl-terminal side of the first amino acid sequence, to the carboxyl-terminal of the second insect odorant receptor co-receptor or the variant thereof.
