unc-86::VP16 does not alter sensory neuron AWA and AWC odorant specificity. The ODR-7 nuclear receptor is necessary for the expression of the putative diacetyl receptor ODR-10 in AWA; odr-7(ky4) is a null mutant (40, 41). Both odr-7 and odr-7; unc-86::VP16 strains failed to respond to diacetyl. odr-1 acts in AWC but not AWA (42); both odr-1 and odr-1; unc-86::VP16 animals do not respond AWC-detected odorants.
