Animals can identify the chemical composition of the environment through the sense of smell. The odorants serve as cues to localize food and preys, avoid predators and comunicate with other animals. Odorant detection is mediated by millions of olfactory sensory neurons localized in the nasal cavity. Each olfactory neuron has a single dendrite that terminates in a knob with many cilia, whe…
In vitro, RIC-8B interacts with specific ± subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, acting as both a molecular chaperone and a non-canonic guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Previous findings from our laboratory suggest that RIC-8B may regulate the activation of the olfactory G± subunit, G±olf. G±olf is abundantly expressed in olfactory neurons, where it couples to the heptahelical odorant…
