Abstract
To clarify the involvement of G protein in denatonium signal transduction, we carried out a whole-cell patch-clamp analysis with isolated taste cells in mice. Two different responses were observed by applying GDP-beta-S, a G-protein inhibitor. One response to denatonium was reduced by GDP-beta-S (G-protein-dependent), whereas the other was not affected (G-protein-independent). These different patterns were also observed by concurrently inhibiting the phospholipase C beta2 and phosphodiesterase pathways via G protein. These data suggest dual, G-protein-dependent and -independent mechanisms for denatonium. Moreover, the denatonium responses were not attenuated by singly inhibiting the phospholipase C beta2 or phosphodiesterase pathway, implying that both pathways were involved in G-protein-dependent transduction. In the G-protein-independent cells, the response was abolished by the depletion of calcium ions within the intracellular store. These results suggest that Ca2+ release from the intracellular store is an important factor. Our data demonstrate multiple transduction pathways for denatonium in mammalian taste cells.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
