C. elegans odour discrimination requires asymmetric diversity in olfactory neurons.

Nature - 5 Apr 2001

Wes P D, Bargmann C I

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans senses at least five attractive odours with a single pair of olfactory neurons, AWC, but can distinguish among these odours in behavioural assays. The two AWC neurons are structurally and functionally similar, but the G-protein-coupled receptor STR-2 is randomly expressed in either the left or the right AWC neuron, never in both. Here we describe the isolation of a mutant, ky542, with...
