The study is focused on the conserved patterns of the G protein-coupled receptors, an important superfamily of receptors. Olfactory receptors represent more than 2% of our genome and constitute the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors, a key class of drug targets. As no crystallographic structures are available, mechanistic studies rely on the use of molecular dynamic modelling combined with site-directed mutagenesis data. In this paper, we hypothesized that human-mouse orthologs coding for G protein-coupled receptors maintain, at speciation events, shared compositional structures independent, to some extent, of their percent identity as reveals a method based in the categorization of nucleotide triplets by their gross composition. The data support the consistency of the hypothesis, showing in ortholog G protein-coupled receptors the presence of emergent shared compositional structures preserved at speciation events.

It is therefore surprising that we understand so little of how olfactory receptors work. In particular we have a poor idea of what chemicals are detected by most of the olfactory receptors in the genome, and for those receptors which we have paired with ligands, we know relatively little about how the structure of these ligands can either activate or inhibit the activation of these receptors. Furthermore the large repertoire of olfactory receptors, which belong to the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, can serve as a model to contribute to our broader understanding of GPCR-ligand binding, especially since GPCRs are important pharmaceutical targets.

The Aosta cattle breeds have been raised and selected for centuries to be farmed in a mountain environment, characterized by a semi-intensive system, i.e., summer pasture with winter recovery on the farms. To disclose the genomic variation and its association with known genes, it is important to genetically characterize these breeds. Abstract: The Aosta Red Pied (Valdostana Pezzata Rossa (VRP)), the Aosta Black Pied (Valdostana Pezzata Nera (VBP)) and the Aosta Chestnut (Valdostana Castana (CAS)) are dual-purpose cattle breeds (meat and milk), very well adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of alpine territories: their farming is in fact characterized by summer pasture at very high altitude.

    doi: 10.1038/nature06162 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary Methods Cloning of human odorant receptors 423 human odorant receptors were cloned with sequence information from The Olfactory Receptor Database (http://senselab.med.yale.edu/senselab/ORDB/default.asp). Of these, 335 were predicted to encode functional receptors, 45 were predicted to encode pseudogenes, 29 were putative variant pairs of the same genes, and 14 were duplicates. We adopted the nomenclature proposed by Doron Lancet 1. OR7D4 and the six intact odorant receptor genes in the OR7D4 gene cluster (OR1M1, OR7G2, OR7G1, OR7G3, OR7D2, and OR7E24) were used for functional analyses. SNPs in these odorant receptors were identified from the NCBI dbSNP database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP) or through genotyping. OR7D4 single nucleotide variants were generated by cloning the reference sequence from a subject or by inducing polymorphic SNPs by site-directed mutagenesis using overlap extension PCR. Single nucleotide and frameshift variants for the six intact odorant receptors in the same gene cluster as OR7D4 were generated by cloning the respective genes from the genomic DNA of each subject. The chimpanzee OR7D4 orthologue was amplified from chimpanzee genomic DNA (Coriell Cell Repositories). Odorant receptors that contain the first 20 amino acids of human rhodopsin tag 2 in pCI (Promega) were expressed in the Hana3A cell line along with a short form of mRTP1 called RTP1S, (M37 to the C-terminal end), which enhances functional expression of the odorant receptors 3. For experiments with untagged odorant receptors, OR7D4 RT and S84N variants without the Rho tag were cloned into pCI.

This chemosensory function is mediated by a very large family of seven-transmembrane olfactory (odorant) receptors encoded by approximately 1,000 genes, the majority of which are believed to be pseudogenes in humans. deposited research Results: The strategy of our sequence database mining for full-length, functional candidate odorant receptor genes was based on the high overall sequence similarity and presence of a number of conserved sequence motifs in all known mammalian odorant receptors as well as the absence of introns in their coding sequences. We report here the identification and physical cloning of 347 putative human full-length odorant receptor genes. Comparative sequence analysis of the predicted gene products allowed us to identify and define a number of consensus sequence motifs and structural features of this vast family of receptors.
