 Abstract: Flying insects are well known for airborne odour tracking and have evolved diverse chemoreceptors. While ionotropic receptors (IRs) are
found across protostomes, insect odorant receptors (ORs) have only
been identified in winged insects. We therefore hypothesized that the
unique signal transduction of ORs offers an advantage for odour
localization in flight. Using Drosophila, we found expression and
increased activity of the intracellular signalling protein PKC in antennal
sensilla following odour stimulation. Odour stimulation also enhanced
phosphorylation of theORco-receptorOrco in vitro, while site-directed
mutation of Orco or mutations in PKC subtypes reduced the sensitivity
and dynamic range of OR-expressing neurons in vivo, but not
IR-expressing neurons. We ultimately show that these mutations
reduce competence for odour localization of flies in flight.We conclude
that intracellular regulation of OR sensitivity is necessary for efficient
odour localization, which suggests a mechanistic advantage for the
evolution of the OR complex in flying insects.
