Author response: Single amino acid residue mediates reciprocal specificity in two mosquito odorant receptors
Year: 2022
Type: peer-review
Abstract: The southern house mosquito senses the oviposition attractants skatole and indole with two receptor proteins sharing only 50% amino acid identity, and having the residues alanine-73 and leucine-74 in the skatole and indole receptors, respectively, control their specificity.
