Despite that recent progress in genomics has elucidated the genomic structure of the olfactory receptors (ORs), most of them are still orphan receptors. The low expression level of ORs in heterologous cells has hampered many attempts to establish cell biological OR assay systems. Recently, we demonstrated that certain G protein-coupled receptors, such as the leukotriene B4 receptor or the dopamine D1 receptor, were efficiently reconstituted on baculovirus budding from infected Sf9 cells. The budded virus (BV) was shown to be mostly free of exogenous proteins other than those related to viral infection, resulting in low-noise assay conditions. Taking advantage of these conditions, we attempted to reconstitute OR complexes on BV. Sf9 cells were coinfected with recombinant baculoviruses harboring the cDNAs encoding adenylyl cyclase, trimeric G-protein, and the receptor: mOR-EG or S6. The coexpression of these proteins was detected by western blot, and the agonist- or antagonist-dependent receptor response was confirmed using ligand-dependent cyclic AMP production. These results demonstrated the successful reconstitution of functional OR complex on BV. Additionally, the expression of OR8B3 on BV, one of human orphan ORs, was also confirmed. This BV expression system is expected to be a highly effective tool for screening unknown ligands for ORs.
