Gene Summary
Sensory neuron membrane protein 1 (Snmp1) encodes a member of the CD36 family of lipoprotein receptors. It is expressed in a subset of olfactory neurons. It is required for a normal olfactory response to the male-specific pheromone 11-cis vaccenyl acetate. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
Sensory neuron membrane protein 1 (Snmp1) encodes a member of the CD36 family of lipoprotein receptors. It is expressed in a subset of olfactory neurons. It is required for a normal olfactory response to the male-specific pheromone 11-cis vaccenyl acetate. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14]
Gene Group (FlyBase)
CLASS B SCAVENGER RECEPTORS -
Class B scavenger receptors are transmembrane proteins that belong to the CD36 family. These receptors contain two transmembrane domains, an extracellular loop with multiple glycosylation sites and two short intracellular tails. They are implicated in lipoprotein scavenging, fatty acid transport, innate immune signalling, cell adhesion, lysosomal protein sorting and gustatory fat detection. (Adapted from FBrf0232659.)
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Plays an olfactory role that is not restricted to pheromone sensitivity. Has a role in detection and signal transduction of the fatty-acid-derived male pheromone 11-cis vaccenyl acetate (cVA). Not required for sensitivity to general odorants. Acts in concert with Or67d and lush to capture cVA molecules on the surface of Or67d expressing olfactory dendrites and facilitate their transfer to the odorant-receptor Orco complex. Essential for the electrophysiological responses of these olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) to cVA. Not required for the development of trichoid OSNs and support cells.
(UniProt, Q9VDD3)
Summary (Interactive Fly)

CD36-related transmembrane protein - essential for the response of olfactory sensory neurons to cis-vaccenyl acetate, a male-specific fatty-acid-derived pheromone that regulates sexual and social aggregation behaviours

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

            Snmp is required in pheromone-sensitive neurons for cVA sensitivity but is not required for sensitivity to general odorants.

            Snmp is essential for the electrophysiological response of olfactory sensory neurons expressing the Or67d receptor to the pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate.
