Olfactory receptors are associated with trimeric G protein complexes containing the GNAL (Golf, G alpha olf) alpha subunit, the GNB1 beta subunit, and the GNG13 gamma subunit. The binding of an odorant to an olfactory receptor causes the GNAL subunit to exchange GDP for GTP (Borgmann-Winter et al. 2016, and inferred from rat homologs). GNAL is a member of the Gs family of G alpha proteins.

Taste receptors for bitter compounds, sweet compounds, and umami compounds (L-glutamate in humans, several amino acids in mice) are G protein-coupled receptors located in type II taste bud cells that signal through a common downstream pathway (reviewed in Margolskee 2002, Kinnamon 2009, Kurihara 2015, Roper and Chauhari et al. 2017, Kinnamon and Finger 2019, Servant et al. 2020). Umami ("savoury", L-glutamate) taste receptors are heterodimers of the plasma membrane proteins TAS1R1 and TAS1R3. TAS1R1:TAS1R3 heterodimers also bind 5' nucleotides such as 5' IMP which synergistically augment umami taste. The glutamate receptors GRM1 (mGluR1) and GRM4 (mGluR4) act in an alternative pathway for sensing glutamate in taste cells (reviewed in Chaudhari et al. 2009). Sweet taste receptors are heterodimers of the plasma membrane proteins TAS1R2 and TAS1R3 (reviewed in Yang et al. 2021). The glucose transporters SGLT1 and GLUT4 are expressed in type II taste cells and may provide an alternative pathway for sensing glucose (reviewed in von Molitor et al. 2020). Bitter receptors are a large family of monomeric plasma membrane proteins, the TAS2R proteins.
TAS1R-containing sweet and umami receptors and TAS2R bitter receptors are each physically associated with a particular heterotrimeric G protein complex, the gustducin complex, containing GNAT3 (gustducin), GNB1 or GNB3, and GNG13. Upon binding an agonist ligand, the receptor activates the alpha subunit, GNAT3, to exchange GDP for GTP, which results in a conformational change in GNAT3 that causes the receptor-gustducin complex to dissociate, yielding GNAT3:GTP, GNB1,3:GNG13, and the receptor:ligand. The GNB1,3:GNG13 complex binds and activates Phospholipase C beta-2 (PLCB2), which then hydrolyzes phosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) to yield diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (I(1,4,5)P3). I(1,4,5)P3 binds and activates the calcium channel IP3-gated Ca-channel type 3 (ITPR3) and ITPR3 then releases calcium ions from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol. The increased cytosolic calcium activates the TRPM5 cation channels, which then transport sodium ions along the concentration gradient from the extracellular region to the cytosol (reviewed in Aroke et al. 2020). The depolarization activates SCN2A, SCN3A, and SCN9A channels, which transport further sodium ions from the extracellular region to the cytosol. The depolarization of the plasma membrane opens CALHM1:CALHM3 channels, which transport ATP, a neurotransmitter in the olfactory system, from the cytosol to the extracellular region.
Taste receptors were initially discovered in taste buds of the tongue and have now been found in several other tissues including nasal epithelium (Barnham et al. 2015, inferred from rodent homologs in Tizzano et al. 2011), the respiratory system, pancreatic islet cells, sperm (Governini et al. 2020), leukocytes (Malki et al. 2015), and enteroendocrine cells of the gut (inferred from rat and mouse homologs in Wu et al. 2002).

Taste buds contain at least 3 types of cells: type I cells appear to have a support (glial-like) function; type II cells are responsible for tasting sweet compounds, bitter compounds, and umami (savoury, amino acid) compounds; and type III cells are responsible for tasting sour (acidic) compounds (reviewed in Liman et al. 2014, Roper and Chaudhari 2017, Kinnamon and Finger 2019, Taruno et al. 2021). Recently identified sodium sensing cells expressing the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and POU2F3 are thought to be responsible for tasting low concentrations of salt and may be a subset of type II cells or a novel type of taste cell (Chandrashekar et al. 2010, reviewed in Taruno et al. 2021). High concentrations of salt appear to be detected by both type II and type III cells.
Receptors for sweet compounds, bitter compounds, and umami compounds contain an intracellular domain, transmembrane domains, and an extracellular domain that binds the ligand. The extracellular domains of receptors for sweet and umami ligands have a distinctive "venus flytrap"-shaped domain. Upon binding ligand, sweet taste receptors (TAS1R2:TAS1R3 heterodimers), bitter taste receptors (TAS2R class receptors), and umami receptors (TAS1R1:TAS1R3 heterodimers) then signal through a common downstream pathway: the receptor-ligand complex activates an associated heterotrimeric G protein complex (GNAT3:GNB1 or GNB3:GNG13) to exchange GDP for GTP, the heterotrimeric G protein complex dissociates and the resulting GNB1,3:GNG13 complex activates Phospholipase C beta-2 (PLCB2) which hydrolyzes phosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) to yield inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (I(1,4,5)P3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). I(1,4,5)P3 binds and activates ITPR3 to release calcium ions from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol. Cytosolic Ca2+ causes TRPM5 sodium channels to open and depolarize the cell. SCN2A, SCN3A, and SCN9A sodium channels also appear to augment the depolarization. Depolarization causes opening of CALHM1:CALHM3 channels which transport ATP from the cytosol to the extracellular region. ATP then acts as a neurotransmitter in the taste sensing system.
Alternative pathways exist for sensing sugars and glutamate, as evidenced by residual signaling activity in the absence of TAS1R1 or TAS1R3. Glutamate is sensed by the glutamate receptors GRM1 (mGluR1) and GRM4 (mGluR4) expressed in type II taste cells. GRM1 and GRM4 activate calcium channels by an incompletely characterized mechanism that probably involves heterotrimeric G proteins. Glucose may be sensed by a pathway comprising transport into type II taste cells via the glucose transporters SGLT1 and GLUT4, generation of ATP, and inhibition of KATP potassium channels by ATP.
Protons (H+ ions) from acidic compounds translocate from the extracellular region to the cytosol of type III taste cells through the OTOP1 channel. Weak acids such as acetic acid and citric acid are also able to enter type III cells by diffusing through the membrane in their protonated, uncharged forms, Once in the cytosol, the H+ ions inhibit KCNJ2 inwardly rectifying potassium channels, depolarizing the cell. The H+ ions may also open unidentified sodium channels to further depolarize the cell. Depolarization causes exocytosis of the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-HT) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Low concentrations of salt appear to be sensed in specific salt-sensing cells that may be a subset of type II cells. Low concentrations of salt are believed to enter the cell through an epithelial sodium channel (ENaC, SCNN) and the ability to taste low concentrations of salt is dependent on the SCNN1A pore-containing subunit of the SCNN complex in mice. Human taste cells express both SCNN1A and SCNN1D pore-containing subunits. The composition of other subunits of the complex is less certain. The transport of sodium ions (Na+) into the cells depolarizes the plasma membrane and eventually leads to opening of CALHM1:CALHM3 channels which transport ATP from the cytosol to the extracellular region.

Mammalian Olfactory Receptor (OR, also called odorant receptor) genes were discovered in rats by Linda Buck and Richard Axel, who predicted that odorants would be detected by a large family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are selectively expressed in the olfactory epithelium. This prediction was based on previous biochemical evidence that cAMP levels increased in olfactory neurons upon odor stimulation. These predictions proved to be accurate, and Buck and Axel received a Nobel Prize for this and subsequent work (reviewed in Keller & Vosshall 2008).
Subsequent work in mice and other vertebrates has confirmed that OR genes are comprised of a very large family of G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) that are selectively-expressed in olfactory epithelium. Although some OR are also expressed selectively in one or a few other tissues, their expression in olfactory-epithelium generally indicates a functional role in mediating olfaction, where they couple binding by odorant ligands with intracellular olfactory signaling. (Note: the other subclasses of GPCR signaling pathways are described under "GPCR Signaling".)
The ligands for ORs are diverse, ranging from chemical compounds to peptides. Intracellular signaling by OR proteins in mice and other mammalian systems is known to be mediated via direct interactions of OR proteins with an olfactory-specific heterotrimeric G Protein, that contains an olfactory-specific G alpha protein: G alpha S OLPH (also named "GNAL").
In model genetic systems such as mice, many candidate OR genes have been shown experimentally to function in olfactory signaling (reviewed in (Keller & Vosshall 2008). For the human OR genes, experimental analysis has been more limited, although some specific OR genes, such as OR7D4 and OR11H7P have been confirmed to mediate olfactory response and signaling in humans for specific chemical odorants (Keller et al. 2007, Abbafy 2007). Mice and other rodents are believed to have about 1000 functional OR genes, as well as many additional pseudogenes. Based on sequence similarities, there are 960 human OR genes, but approximately half of these are pseudogenes (Keller 2008). In mice, essentially all olfactory signaling requires G-alpha-S (OLF); mouse G-OLF knockouts have been shown to lack olfactory responses (Belluscio 1998). Bona fide human OR genes identified by sequence similarity (not pseudogenes with function-blocking mutations) that are expressed in olfactory epithelium are expected to interact with G alpha S OLF containing G Protein trimers.
Of the 960 human OR genes and pseudogenes, there is experimental evidence that indicates over 430 are expressed in human olfactory epithelium, including 80 expressed OR pseudogenes (Zhang 2007).
When expressed in model cell systems mammalian olfactory receptors (ORs) are typically retained in the ER and degraded by the proteasome (McClintock et al. 1997). A study using Caenorhabditis elegans showed that the transport of ORs to the cilia of olfactory neurons required the expression and association of ORs with a transmembrane protein, ODR4 (Dwyer et al. 1998). Co-transfection of rat ORs with ODR4 enhanced the transport and expression of ORs at the cell-surface (Gimelbrant et al. 2001). These studies suggested that olfactory neurons might have a selective molecular machinery that promotes expression of ORs at the cells surface. Two human protein families have been identified as potential accessory proteins involved in the trafficking of ORs to the plasma membrane (Saito et al. 2004). Receptor transporting proteins 1 and 2 (RTP1, RTP2) both strongly induced expression of several ORs at the cell-surface. To a lesser extent, the receptor expression enhancing protein 1 (REEP1) also promoted cell-surface expression. These proteins are specifically expressed in olfactory neurons with no expression in testis, where a subset of ORs are expressed (Parmentier et al. 1992, Spehr et al. 2003). Other members of the RTP and REEP families have a widespread distribution. RTP3 and RTP4 have been shown to promote cell-surface expression of the bitter taste receptors, TAS2Rs (Behrens et al. 2006). REEP1 and REEP5 (also known as DP1) are involved in shaping the ER by linking microtubule fibers to the ER (Park et al. 2010, Voeltz et al. 2006). A recent study looking at the role of REEP in the trafficking of Alpha2A- and Alpha2C-adrenergic receptors showed that REEP1-2 and 6 enhance the cell-surface expression of Alpha2C, but not Alpha2A, by increasing the capacity of ER cargo, thereby allowing more receptors to reach the cell-surface (Bjork et al. 2013). Unlike RTP1, REEP1-2 and 6 are only present in the ER, do not traffic to the plasma membrane and specifically interact with the minimal/non-glycosylated forms of Alpha2C via an interaction with its C-terminus (Saito et al. 2004, Bjork et al. 2013). REEPs may function as general modulators of the ER, rather than specifically interacting with GPCRs. Loss of association of REEP2 with membranes leads to hereditary spastic paraplegia (Esteves et al. 2014).
Olfactory receptors (ORs, also called odorant receptors) are present on the plasma membrane of cilia of olfactory sensory neurons located in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal sinus. Each mature neuron expresses only one OR gene (reviewed in Nagai et al. 2016) and each OR binds one particular volatile chemical or set of volatile chemicals, known as odorants. The binding of an odorant to an OR (Mainland et al. 2015) causes a conformational change in the receptor that activates the G alpha subunit (Golf, GNAL) of an associated heterotrimeric G protein complex to exchange GDP for GTP (inferred from mouse homologs in Jones et al. 1990). GNAL:GTP and the Gbeta:Ggamma subcomplex (GNB1:GNG13) dissociate from the olfactory receptor and GNAL:GTP then binds and activates adenylate cyclase 3 (ADCY3) (inferred from rat homologs in Bakalyar and Reed 1990, reviewed in Boccaccio et al. 2021). Cyclic AMP produced by ADCY3 binds and opens the olfactory cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNG channel) composed of CNGA2, CNGA4, and CNGB isoform 1b (inferred from rat homologs in Liman and Buck 1994). The CNG channel translocates sodium and calcium cations from the extracellular region into the cytosol. The resulting cytosolic calcium ions bind ANO2 and increase the transport of chloride ions by ANO2 from the cytosol to the extracellular region (inferred from mouse homologs in Pifferi et al. 2009, Stephan et al. 2009). The translocations of ions across the plasma membrane causes depolarization of the neuron yielding a receptor potential and action potential that is transmitted to the olfactory bulb of the brain.
