摘要:

嗅觉在昆虫的生存和种群繁衍过程中起着重要的作用,嗅觉感受神经元的多种蛋白质共同参与嗅觉识别过程,包括:气味结合蛋白(OBP)、气味受体(OR)、气味降解酶(ODE)、化学感受蛋白(CSP)和感受神经元膜蛋白(SNMP)等。OR作为其中一种重要的蛋白质,其所介导的气味分子与嗅觉神经元的专一性结合是昆虫行使嗅觉功能的重要基础。由于昆虫OR结构与其他脊椎动物OR结构不同,一直不能通过同源克隆的方式获得,其发现经历了一段漫长的时间。昆虫OR可以分为2大类,第1类是识别各种气味分子的功能受体,第2类是没有气味分子识别功能,与其他功能受体共表达,协助其他功能受体完成对气味分子的识别。关于OR的基础研究,主要集中在鉴定和功能分析方面。OR的功能分析目前常用的有3种体外表达系统,分别是爪蟾卵母细胞表达系统、异源细胞表达系统和果蝇空神经元表达系统。RNAi和Crispr/Cas9作为活体研究基因功能的方法,也在某些物种中用于OR基因的功能研究。昆虫OR作用机制研究目前主要集中在一些模式物种中,林业昆虫作为一类重要的昆虫,其OR研究起步较晚,且主要集中在OR基因鉴定上,功能研究相对较少。气味受体的研究为害虫嗅觉调控和种群控制提供了一个很好的研究方向,值得进一步加强机制研究和防控技术开发。

Abstract:

Olfaction plays an important role in survival and reproduction of insects. Many proteins from olfactory sensory neurons participate in the olfactory recognition process,including odorant binding protein (OBP),odorant receptor (OR),odorant degrading enzyme (ODE),chemosensory protein (CSP),and sensory neuron membrane protein (SNMP). As an important protein,OR mediates the specific combination of odour molecules and olfactory neurons,which is an important basis for insects to perform olfactory functions. Because the OR structure of insects is different from that of vertebrates,it cannot be obtained by homologous cloning for long time. Thus,ORs discovery of insects has taken a long time. ORs can be divided into two categories. The first category is the functional receptors to recognize various odour molecules,the second one is the receptor without odour molecules recognition function,which co-expresses with other functional receptors to perform olfactory functions together. Researches on OR mainly focus on its identification and functional exploration. At present,there are three expression systems in vitro commonly used in the functional analyses of OR,including the Xenopus oocyte expression system,the heterologous cell expression system,and the Drosophila empty neuron expression system. As for in vivo methods for researching the gene functions,RNAi (RNA interference,RNAi) and Crispr/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Crispr-associated sequence) systems have also been used to explore the OR's function in some insects. Researches on the mechanism of insects OR mainly focus on some model insects. Although forest insects are important insects,their OR research started late. At present,researches about OR in forest insect are mainly gene identification,and only few work is on gene function. The research on the olfactory receptor mechanism provides a good direction for pest control,and it is worth to further strengthen researches about the mechanisms and pest control methods based on olfactory regulation.
