Impacts of xenobiotics on crustacean molting: the invisible endocrine disruption.
Aquatic pollution has led to the accumulation of various xenobiotics in crustaceans. A number of these environmental chemicals have been found to interfere with molting of crustaceans. Results of initial mechanistic studies with Uca pugilator suggest that the disruption of molting results from the disturbance to the Y-organ-ecdysteroid receptor (EcR) axis by xenobiotics. Such disturbance to the...
متن کاملThe Modulatory Action of Dopamine on Crustacean Foregut Neuromuscular Preparations
1. Effects of dopamine (DA) on contractile and electrical properties of decapod foregut neuromuscular preparations were examined. 2. Dopamine produced dramatic increases in nerve-evoked contractions and, in particular muscles, contractures and spontaneous contractions. These effects were observed at concentrations as low as 5 x io~~ M-DA. 3. The DA-produced enhancement of nerve-evoked contracti...
متن کاملProteomics and signal transduction in the crustacean molting gland.
Regulation of the molting cycle in decapod crustaceans involves 2 endocrine organs: the X-organ/sinus gland (XO/SG) complex located in the eyestalk ganglia and the Y-organ (YO) located in the cephalothorax. Two neuropeptides [molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH)] are produced in the XO/SG complex and inhibit ecdysteroidogenesis in the YO. Thus, YO activation ...
متن کاملCyclic Nucleotides and Neuropeptide Signaling in the Crustacean Molting Gland Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by the eyestalk
Physiological processes are regulated by a diverse array of neuropeptides that coordinate organ systems. The neuropeptides, many of which act through G protein–coupled receptors, affect the levels of cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) and Ca in target tissues. In this perspective, their roles in molting, osmoregulation, metabolite utilization, and cardiovascular function are highlighted. In dec...
متن کاملCryptocyanin, a crustacean molting protein: evolutionary link with arthropod hemocyanins and insect hexamerins.
Cryptocyanin, a copper-free hexameric protein in crab (Cancer magister) hemolymph, has been characterized and the amino acid sequence has been deduced from its cDNA. It is markedly similar in sequence, size, and structure to hemocyanin, the copper-containing oxygen-transport protein found in many arthropods. Cryptocyanin does not bind oxygen, however, and lacks three of the six highly conserved...
