Human bitter taste receptor functionalized-CPNT-FET as an artificial taste sensor mimicking human taste system

초록

영어

Artificial taste sensors, so called ‘lectronic tongues’ have been widely used in food and beverage industry. The electronic tongues usually utilize synthetic materials for the recognition of analytes. In this reason, they cannot mimic the biological features of the human taste system. To overcome these limitations, we applied biological human taste receptor for the development of artificial taste sensor. Here, we demonstrated human bitter taste receptor, hTAS2R38, functionalized conducting polymer nanotube(CPNT)-field effect transistor (FET) mimicking human taste system. Each taster (PAV) and non-taster (AVI) haprotype of hTAS2R38 genes were cloned into bacterial expression vector and then expressed in E. coli at high-level. The receptors were then immobilized on CPNT-FET sensor platform. The PAV-CPNT-FET responded to target bitterness compounds, phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and propylthiouracil (PROP), with high sensitivity down to concentration as low as 10 fM. However, AVI-CPNT-FET did not stimulated by target bitter tastants. This artificial taste sensor showed very similar performance with human taste system and may offer a powerful tool for basic research on taste receptors.
