Journal ArticleDOI
Coding of sweet, bitter, and umami tastes: different receptor cells sharing similar signaling pathways.
Yifeng Zhang,Mark A. Hoon,Jayaram Chandrashekar,Ken Mueller,Boaz Cook,Dianqing Wu,Charles S. Zuker,Nicholas J. P. Ryba +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that knockouts of TRPM5, a taste TRP ion channel, or PLCbeta2, a phospholipase C selectively expressed in taste tissue, abolish sweet, amino acid, and bitter taste reception, but do not impact sour or salty tastes.
Journal ArticleDOI
TRP Channel Proteins and Signal Transduction
Barijch Minke,Boaz Cook +1 more
TL;DR: Members of the TRP family are "special assignment" channels, which are recruited to diverse signaling pathways, although, in general, they are classified as nonselective cationic channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of Drosophila Piezo in mechanical nociception
TL;DR: The physiological relevance of the Piezo family in mechanotransduction in vivo is demonstrated, supporting a role of Piezo proteins in mechanosensory nociception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipase C and termination of G-protein-mediated signalling in vivo.
Boaz Cook,Margalit Bar-Yaacov,Hagit Cohen Ben-Ami,Robert Goldstein,Ze'ev Paroush,Zvi Selinger,Baruch Minke +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the maintenance of large amounts of PLC in the signalling membranes by association with INAD facilitates response termination, and it is shown that PLC functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexpression of Drosophila TRP and TRP-like proteins in Xenopus oocytes reconstitutes capacitative Ca2+ entry
Boaz Gillo,I. Chorna,H. Cohen,Boaz Cook,I. Manistersky,Michael Chorev,Assaf Arnon,John A. Pollock,Zvi Selinger,Baruch Minke +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that coexpressing Drosophila TRP and TRPL in Xenopus oocytes synergistically enhances the endogenous Ca(2+)-activated Cl- current and produces a divalent inward current, which is activated by Ca2+ store depletion.
