| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cloning of GABA receptor from the two spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae revealed a substitution of a critical amino acid at the second transmembrane damain of a GABA recptor, RDL that is conserved in insects. TSSM GABA receptor has a unique spectrum in action of mitocids and non-competitive GABAR agonists from ticks and insects. We made a chimera construct to narrow down the critical structure to establish effective screening for specific miticides, employing two electrode voltage clamp method. The result however indicated that not only the second trans-membarne domain but multiple other sites are sensitive to these compounds, especially Cyc-loop region, which complicated the strategy of effective screen system for specific miticidal compounds contrary to our original expectation.
