This Project Grant award of $702,560 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) federal grant program supports research to investigate the structural and functional mechanisms of gustatory receptors (GRs) in invertebrates. The key objectives are to: 1) probe the mechanisms that control ligand sensitivity and specificity in the GR43A family of sugar receptors, 2) assess how alternative isoforms of the Drosophila melanogaster GR43A receptor impact its in vivo functions, and 3) examine the effects of activity-altering mutations and isoform variations on ligand binding and channel opening using cryo-electron microscopy. This basic science investigation aims to provide a detailed understanding of GR activation, which could have implications for arthropod disease vector control given the important roles of GRs in sensory-driven behaviors. The award recipient is Brandeis University, a private research university in Massachusetts recognized for its expertise in biological sciences research.
