APSGFLGMRamide is a unique tachykinin-related peptide in crustaceans.
We report here the identification of a tachykinin-related peptide (TRP) in crustaceans. Direct MALDI-TOF MS with brain slices of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii indicated the presence of a peptide having an MS number of around 934. Quadrupole orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight (Q-TOF) MS/MS analysis implied the sequence to be APSGFLGMRamide, identical to that of CabTRP Ia, isolated previou...
متن کاملThe tachykinin peptide family.
The tachykinin peptide family certainly represents one of the largest peptide families described in the animal organism. So far, more than 40 tachykinins have been isolated from invertebrate (insects, worms, and molluscs), protochordate, and vertebrate (skin, gastrointestinal tract, peripheral and central nervous system) tissues. Substance P (SP), first identified by bioassay as early as 1931 b...
متن کاملTachykinin-Related Peptides Share a G Protein-Coupled Receptor with Ion Transport Peptide-Like in the Silkworm Bombyx mori
Recently, we identified an orphan Bombyx mori neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor (BNGR)-A24 as an ion transport peptide-like (ITPL) receptor. BNGR-A24 belongs to the same clade as BNGR-A32 and -A33, which were recently identified as natalisin receptors. Since these three BNGRs share high similarities with known receptors for tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs), we examined whether these BNG...
متن کاملTachykinin-related peptides in invertebrates: a review.
Peptides with sequence similarities to members of the tachykinin family have been identified in a number of invertebrates belonging to the mollusca, echiuridea, insecta and crustacea. These peptides have been designated tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) and are characterized by the preserved C-terminal pentapeptide FX1GX2Ramide (X1 and X2 are variable residues). All invertebrate TRPs are myost...
متن کاملIdentification of a tachykinin-related peptide with orexigenic properties in the German cockroach.
A number of evidences suggest that tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) of insects can stimulate food consumption after being released from the midgut to the hemolymph. The idea of the present work has been to test this hypothesis in the anautogenous cockroach Blattella germanica. First, we have identified the peptide LemTRP-1 (APSGFLGVR-NH(2)) from brain extracts, by means of an ELISA developed ...
