INTRODUCTION The sense of smell remained the most enigmatic of our senses until recently Our lives are apparently dominated by the visual sense, but often smells trigger much deeper emotional responses All living organisms can detect and identify chemical substances in their environment Humans can recognise more than different scents, while dogs recognise more than Detection limit: 4 x g/l

Pioneering Work Hypotheses: The odorant receptors are likely to belong to the superfamily of receptor proteins that transduce intracellular signals by coupling to GTP-binding proteins odorant receptors themselves should exhibit significant diversity and are therefore likely to be encoded by a multigene family expression of the odorant receptors should be restricted to the olfactory epithelium

Olfactory Epithelium

Cellular Mechanism

Results

Olfactory Receptor Genes 400 functional genes in humans (Three genes in retina) 1200 functional genes in mice 3-5 % of mammalian genome: The largest gene family

Conbinational Receptor Code scents with 400 receptors: HOW?

One Neuron-One Receptor In mammals with 1000 receptor, each receptor is expressed in 0.1 % of neurons In fish with 100 distinct receptors, each receptor is expressed in 1 % of neurons Each neuron expresses only one type of receptor

Arranging Neurons and Axons in the Brain

Summary

Questions to Be Answered How only one olfacrory receptor gene is expressed in one neuron, what is the mechanism? How a particular gene is selected? Neurons generally do not reproduce, however olfactory neurons have lives of days. They are replaced by stem cells. How is the numbers of each type of neuron balanced? How do the olfactory neurons connect to the correct glomerulus? How do the olfactory receptors recognize the specific smell patterns? Is the recognition is related to the shape of the molecule, or is it related to quantum mechanical effects such as electron tunneling?
