  • Methods for Identifying Modulators of Insect Transient Receptor Potential Channels
    Publication number: 20230176038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method for determining whether or not a candidate compound is a modulator of a complex consisting of the insect transient receptor potential channel Nanchung protein and the insect transient receptor potential channel Water witch protein. The present invention further relates to a screening method for determining whether or not a candidate compound directly binds to the complex consisting of the Nanchung protein and Water witch protein. The present invention further relates to a screening method for determining whether or not a candidate compound is a modulator of the insect Water witch protein. The present invention further provides a method of insect control by applying an insect-specific TRP channel modulator determined by the screening method. The present invention further provides a method of classifying an insecticide compound by its mode of action using the binding assay and/or a functional assay.

  • Methods for Identifying Compounds that Directly Bind to Insect Transient Receptor Potential Channels
    Publication number: 20180220653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method for determining whether or not a candidate compound directly binds to an insect transient receptor potential V (TRPV) channel. The present invention further provides a method of identifying a compound that directly binds to a Nanchung protein, TRP and/or TRPV protein and/or channel using, a binding assay. The present invention further provides a method of classifying an insecticide compound by its mode of action using the binding assay and/or a functional assays.

  • Methods for determining modulators of insect transient receptor potential V (TRPV) channel
    Patent number: 10024845
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method for determining whether or not a candidate compound is a modulator of an insect transient receptor potential V (TRPV) channel. The present invention further provides a method of insect control by applying to an insect-specific TRPV channel modulator determined by the screening method. The present invention further relates to an expression vector that includes a nucleic acid molecule coding for an insect TRPV channel. Also, the present invention relates to cell that includes the expression vector encoding a TRPV channel.
