Octopamine is a neuromodulator that mediates diverse physiological
processes in invertebrates. In some insects, such as honeybees and
fruit flies, octopamine has been shown to be a major stimulator of
adenylyl cyclase and to function in associative learning. To identify
an octopamine receptor mediating this function in
Drosophila, putative biogenic amine receptors were
cloned by a novel procedure using PCR and single-strand conformation
polymorphism. One new receptor, octopamine receptor in mushroom bodies
(OAMB), was identified as an octopamine receptor because human and
Drosophila cell lines expressing OAMB showed increased
cAMP and intracellular Ca2+ levels after octopamine
application. Immunohistochemical analysis using an antibody made to the
receptor revealed highly enriched expression in the mushroom body
neuropil and the ellipsoid body of central complex, brain areas known
to be crucial for olfactory learning and motor control, respectively.
The preferential expression of OAMB in mushroom bodies and its capacity
to produce cAMP accumulation suggest an important role in synaptic
modulation underlying behavioral plasticity.
