1 Employing a differential screening strategy, we identified a taste receptor gene, Tre1, that controls the taste sensitivity to trehalose in Drosophila melanogaster. Trehalose Trapped in endoderm 1 Drosophila melanogaster
2 Disruption of the Tre1 gene lowered the taste sensitivity to trehalose, whereas sensitivities to other sugars were unaltered. Trehalose Trapped in endoderm 1 Drosophila melanogaster
3 Overexpression of the Tre1 gene restored the taste sensitivity to trehalose in the Tre1 deletion mutant. Trehalose Trapped in endoderm 1 Drosophila melanogaster
4 Overexpression of the Tre1 gene restored the taste sensitivity to trehalose in the Tre1 deletion mutant. Trehalose Trapped in endoderm 1 Drosophila melanogaster
5 These results provide direct evidence that Tre1 encodes a putative taste receptor for trehalose in Drosophila. Trehalose Trapped in endoderm 1 Drosophila melanogaster
