Abstract

Amines are one class of signaling molecules used by nervous systems. In crustaceans, four amines are recognized: dopamine, histamine, octopamine, and serotonin. While much is known about the physiological actions of amines in crustaceans, little is known about them at the molecular level. Recently, we mined the Daphnia pulex genome for proteins required for histaminergic signaling. Here, we expand this investigation, mining the D. pulex genome for proteins necessary for dopamine, octopamine and serotonin signaling. Using known Drosophila protein sequences, the D. pulex database was queried for genes encoding homologs of amine biosynthetic enzymes, receptors and transporters. Among the proteins identified were the biosynthetic enzymes tryptophan-phenylalanine hydroxylase (dopamine, octopamine and serotonin), tyrosine hydroxylase (dopamine), DOPA decarboxylase (dopamine and serotonin), tyrosine decarboxylase (octopamine), tyramine β-hydroxylase (octopamine) and tryptophan hydroxylase (serotonin), as well as receptors for each amine and several amine transporters (dopamine and serotonin). Comparisons of the Daphnia proteins with their Drosophila queries showed high sequence identity/similarity, particularly in domains required for function. The data presented in this study provide the first molecular descriptions of dopamine, octopamine and serotonin signaling systems in Daphnia, and provide foundations for future molecular, biochemical, anatomical, and physiological investigations of aminergic signaling in this species.

摘要

胺类是神经系统使用的一类信号分子。在甲壳类动物中,已识别出四种胺类:多巴胺、组胺、章鱼胺和血清素。虽然人们对胺类在甲壳类动物中的生理作用了解很多,但对其分子水平的了解甚少。最近,我们从溞属基因组中挖掘了用于组氨酸能信号传递的蛋白质。在这里,我们扩展了这一研究,从溞属基因组中挖掘了用于多巴胺、章鱼胺和血清素信号传递的蛋白质。使用已知的果蝇蛋白序列,在溞属数据库中查询编码胺生物合成酶、受体和转运蛋白同源物的基因。在鉴定的蛋白质中,包括生物合成酶色氨酸-苯丙氨酸羟化酶(多巴胺、章鱼胺和血清素)、酪氨酸羟化酶(多巴胺)、DOPA 脱羧酶(多巴胺和血清素)、酪氨酸脱羧酶(章鱼胺)、章鱼胺β-羟化酶(章鱼胺)和色氨酸羟化酶(血清素),以及每种胺的受体和几种胺转运蛋白(多巴胺和血清素)。与果蝇查询相比,溞属蛋白具有高度的序列同一性/相似性,特别是在功能所需的结构域中。本研究中提供的多巴胺、章鱼胺和血清素信号系统在溞属中的分子描述,为该物种中胺能信号传递的未来分子、生化、解剖和生理研究提供了基础。
