NOVEL PHEROMONAL RECEPTOR OF SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE) AND IDENTIFICATION OF NATURAL LIGAND OF SAID RECEPTOR AND USES THEREOF
NOVEL PHEROMONAL RECEPTOR OF SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE) AND IDENTIFICATION OF NATURAL LIGAND OF SAID RECEPTOR AND USES THEREOF
The invention relates to the identification of Z9,E12-14:Ac as a natural ligand of the new olfactory/pheromonal receptor SlitOR6, a G-protein coupled-like receptor (GPCR-like). The invention encompasses the use of the interaction of SlitOR6 polypeptides and Z9,E12-14:Ac as the basis of screening assays for agents that modulate the activity of the SlitOR6 receptor. The invention also encompasses diagnostic and other assays performed based upon the SlitOR6/Z9,E12-14:Ac interaction, as well as kits for performing diagnostic and screening assays.
