The Cellular and Molecular Basis of Sour Taste

Heather N. Turner et al.

Summary: The sour taste, characterized by the taste of acids, is one of the five basic taste qualities. The recent discovery of the sour receptor as the proton channel OTOP1 has shed light on its function.

The evolution of sour taste

Hannah E. R. Frank et al.

Summary: The evolutionary history of sour taste has been little studied. Based on trait mapping on the vertebrate phylogenetic tree, sour taste is inferred to have originated in ancient fish and appears to be aversive in most species. The preference for sour taste in humans and a few other animals remains an intriguing subject for investigation.

Parkinson's disease-risk protein TMEM175 is a proton-activated proton channel in lysosomes

Meiqin Hu et al.

Summary: A genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease, TMEM175, acts as a proton-activated, proton-selective channel on the lysosomal membrane to regulate lysosomal H+ leak. Activation of TMEM175 stops further acidification of lysosomes beyond the normal range. Deficiency of TMEM175 causes lysosomal over-acidification, impaired proteolytic activity, and facilitates alpha-synuclein aggregation.

Requirement for an Otopetrin-like protein for acid taste in Drosophila

Anindya Ganguly et al.

Summary: A new acid taste receptor in fruit flies has been discovered, which is related to proteins associated with the OTOP1 channel in mammals. This receptor plays a role in the perception of acid and sweet tastes in fruit flies.

An otopetrin family proton channel promotes cellular acid efflux critical for biomineralization in a marine calcifier

William W. Chang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that otopetrins play a crucial role in the mineralization process by providing an exit route for protons released during the formation of CaCO3. Otop2l, expressed exclusively in calcifying primary mesenchymal cells (PMCs), is involved in skeletogenesis, and its knockdown impairs spicule formation. Otop2l displays unique features and strong activation by high extracellular pH, suggesting its adaptation to oceanic living conditions as a cellular proton extrusion machine.

Molecular and cellular basis of acid taste sensation in Drosophila

Tingwei Mi et al.

Summary: Many animals, including mammals and insects, prefer slightly acidic yet avoid highly acidic foods, but how they distinguish low from high acidity is unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that the fruit fly utilizes an evolutionarily conserved taste receptor to differentiate between low and high concentrations of acid.

Sour taste: receptors, cells and circuits

Emily R. Liman et al.

Summary: Sour taste, elicited by low pH, is considered one of the original four fundamental taste qualities. Despite decades of study, the identification of the sour receptor, neurotransmitter, and circuits for sour taste has only recently been achieved. Advances in understanding how information is transmitted from taste receptor cells to gustatory neurons, resulting in aversion to acids, have also been described.
