The developmental control of size in insects

The mechanisms that control the sizes of a body and its many parts remain among great puzzles in developmental biology. Why do animals grow to species‐specific size, how is relative growth their controlled so they right correct proportion with giving an animal species‐characteristic shape? Control size must involve somehow assess some aspect are upstream regulate growth. These now beginning be understood insects, particular Manduca sexta Drosophila melanogaster . requires rate cessation Growth by genetic environmental factors.

Evolution of neuropeptide signalling systems

Journal of Experimental Biology, Год журнала: 2018, Номер 221(3)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2018

ABSTRACT Neuropeptides are a diverse class of neuronal signalling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behaviour in animals. However, determining the relationships evolutionary origins heterogeneous assemblage neuropeptides identified range phyla has presented huge challenge for comparative physiologists. Here, we review revolutionary insights into evolution neuropeptide have been obtained recently through analysis genome/transcriptome sequence data by ‘deorphanisation’ receptors. The at least 30 systems traced to common ancestor protostomes deuterostomes. Furthermore, two rounds genome duplication gave rise an expanded repertoire vertebrate lineage, enabling neofunctionalisation and/or subfunctionalisation, but with lineage-specific gene loss additional or duplications generating complex patterns phylogenetic distribution paralogous systems. We entering new era research where it become feasible compare roles orthologous wide phyla. Moreover, ambitious mission reconstruct function animal kingdom now represents tangible future.

More than two decades of research on insect neuropeptide GPCRs: an overview

Frontiers in Endocrinology, Год журнала: 2012, Номер 3

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2012

This review focuses on the state of art neuropeptide receptors in insects. Most these are G protein-coupled (GPCRs) and involved regulation virtually all physiological processes during an insect's life. More than 20 years ago a milestone invertebrate endocrinology was achieved with characterization first insect receptor, i.e., Drosophila tachykinin-like receptor. However, it took until release genome 2000 that research boosted. In last decade plethora genomic information other species also became available, leading to better insight functions evolution signaling systems their intracellular pathways. It clear some conserved among species, indicating they fulfill crucial roles processes. Meanwhile, seem be lost several orders or suggesting actions were superfluous those insects, neuropeptides have taken over functions. is striking deorphanization GPCRs gets much attention, but subsequent unraveling pathways elicit, often hardly examined. Especially insects besides this scarce if not absent. And although great progress made characterizing systems, even predicted remain orphan, awaiting for endogenous ligand determined. The present gives précis receptor two decades. But has emphasized work done so far only tip iceberg our comprehensive understanding important will still increase substantially coming years.

The contribution of the genomes of a termite and a locust to our understanding of insect neuropeptides and neurohormones

Frontiers in Physiology, Год журнала: 2014, Номер 5

Опубликована: Ноя. 19, 2014

The genomes of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria and termite Zootermopsis nevadensis were mined for presence genes encoding neuropeptides, neurohormones, their G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Both species have retained a larger number neuropeptide GPCRs than better known holometabolous insect species, while other that in appear to single transcript produce two different precursors locust, or both. Thus, recently discovered CNMa gene has transcripts predicted structurally peptides termite, produces myosuppressin same fashion. these also calcitonin gene, which is from calcitonin-like diuretic hormone. This types calcitonins, calcitonins A B. It present Lepidoptera Coleoptera some Diptera, but absent mosquitoes Drosophila. However, only B produced. Their putative identified. In contrast, highly unusual codes salivation stimulatory peptide. neuroparsin vasopressin are particularly interesting. five transcripts, one neurohormone identified corpora cardiaca. four code neuroparsin-like proteins, lack amino acid residues, reason we called neoneuroparsins. neoneuroparsins about 200 times transcripts. first exon promoter genes, there seven copies genome, very well-conserved, remainder not. relevance findings discussed.

Natalisin, a tachykinin-like signaling system, regulates sexual activity and fecundity in insects

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Год журнала: 2013, Номер 110(37)

Опубликована: Авг. 26, 2013

Significance Successful courtship and reproduction, which are at the center of evolutionary processes, involve complex interactions between neural endocrine systems. In this study, we describe a group neuropeptides that have named “natalisin” (from Latin natalis for “birth”) because their function in promoting reproduction arthropods. Three holometabolous insects, Drosophila melanogaster , Bombyx mori Tribolium castaneum were examined to understand patterns natalisin expression assess phenotype RNAi, revealed functions behavior egg production. The receptor identified here warrants expanded study elucidate mechanisms arthropod reproduction.
