苦味受体与甜味、鲜味受体具有不同的进化途径(英文)

Bitter and Sweet/Umami Taste Receptors with Differently Evolutionary Pathways

通过生物信息学和系统发育学分析,研究了苦味受体和甜味 /鲜味受体的进化途径。结果显示,苦味受体和甜味 /鲜味受体在进化上具有远相关,并且具有不同的进化途径,提示这可能是导致这些受体具有不同功能,传导不同味觉的原因。

In this study,we investigated the evolutionary pathways of bitter,sweet and umami receptors using bioinformatic and phylogenetic analyses.Our results showed that the distantly evolutionary relationship between bitter and sweet/umami receptors.Our results also showed that bitter and sweet/umami receptors have differently evolutionary pathways,suggesting that the different evolutionary pathways may resulte in the differences of these three receptors in function.
