Molecular basis of fatty acid taste in Drosophila.

eLife - 12 Dec 2017

Ahn Ji-Eun, Chen Yan, Amrein Hubert

Abstract excerpt

Behavioral studies have established that Drosophila appetitive taste responses towards fatty acids are mediated by sweet sensing Gustatory Receptor Neurons (GRNs). Here we show that sweet GRN activation requires the function of the Ionotropic Receptor genes IR25a, IR76b and IR56d. The former two IR genes are expressed in several neurons per sensillum, while IR56d expression is restricted to sweet GRNs....
