Abstract
The project will investigate the phenomenon of agonist-specific coupling of receptors to different second messenger systems using cloned insect octopamine receptors. Locust octopamine receptor subtypes will be cloned using a combination of homology and expression cloning. Their abilities to couple to second messenger systems will be examined by expression in Xenopus oocytes and clonal cell lines. Particular attention will be focused on the possibility that these receptors may be directly coupled to ion channels in an agonist-specific manner.
