Many pheromone-responsive protocerebral neurons have arborizations in the lateral accessory lobes (LALs), which are situated lateral to the central body on each side of the protocerebrum and appear to be important for processing of olfactory information (86). Each LAL is linked, by neurons with arborizations in it, to the ipsilateral superior protocerebrum as well as the lateral protocerebrum, where axons of AL...

This pathway, which is driven by the presence of free Gfly, was modified to allow for screening of mammalian cDNA expression libraries to isolate those cDNAs that activated transcription of a pheromone-responsive promoter downstream of activated G-protein. Modifications included eliminating the pheromone receptor, replacing the endogenous yeast Ga...

Axons originating in sensilla that are responsive to food odorants and those that originate in sex pheromone-responsive neurons terminate in different glomeruli, the first synaptic relay station within the antennal lobe (Boeckh and Ernst,... 

When the antennae are completely ablated, the male cockroach still responds to the sex pheromone (Roth and Willis, 1952). This suggests that some pheromone-responsive cells are also located elsewhere, such as on the mouthparts. Olfactory receptor cells on the palps of P. americana project to the lobus glomeratus within the posterior region of the ventral deutocerebrum (Boeckh and Ernst, 1987). However, it is not known whether pheromone-responsive cells on the palps project to the more anterior macroglomerulus.

Once the host cell acquires the pheromone-responsive plasmid, it apparently shuts off the production of the corresponding pheromone. It has been revealed that two systems are involved in this phenotypic change. One is the production of pheromone inhibitor, each pheromone-responsive plasmid encodes a pheromone inhibitor, termed iX , which is an antagonist peptide of sex pheromone. The other one is shutdown of pheromone production, which is accomplished by a plasmid-encoded protein (TraB for pADl and pPDl and PrgY for pCFlO).107-110...
