Data for the homology modelling of the red pigment-concentrating hormone receptor (Dappu-RPCHR) of the crustacean Daphnia pulex, and docking of its cognate agonist (Dappu-RPCH)

چکیده
The data presented in this article are related to the publication "Interaction of the red pigment-concentrating hormone of the crustacean Daphnia pulex, with its cognate receptor, Dappu-RPCHR: A nuclear magnetic resonance and modeling study" (Jackson et al., 2017) [1]. This article contains the data for homology modeling of the red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) receptor of the water flea, Daphnia pulex (Dappu-RPCHR), which was constructed from its primary sequence. This is the first 3D model of a crustacean G-protein coupled receptor. Docking of the agonist, pGlu-Val-Asn-Phe-Ser-Thr-Ser-Trp amide (Dappu-RPCH), was used to find a binding pocket on the receptor and compared to the binding pocket of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) receptor from the malaria mosquito. Data for the receptor, with and without loop refinement, together with the docked agonist, are presented.

Functional Characterization and Signaling Systems of Corazonin and Red Pigment Concentrating Hormone in the Green Shore Crab, Carcinus maenas
Neuropeptides play a central role as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and hormones in orchestrating arthropod physiology. The post-genomic surge in identified neuropeptides and their putative receptors has not been matched by functional characterization of ligand-receptor pairs. Indeed, until very recently no G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) had been functionally defined in any crustacean....

The distribution of red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH)-like immunoreactivity (RPLI) in the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab, Cancer borealis, was studied using whole-mount immunocytochemistry. RPLI was seen in neuropilar processes in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG), and in somata in the oesophageal ganglion and commissural ganglia. Staining was blocked by preincubating the anti...
متن کاملModulation of crayfish retinal function by red pigment concentrating hormone
The role of the crustacean octapeptide red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH) in the control of crayfish retinal activity was explored. RPCH injection into intact animals resulted, after a latency of 10­30 min, in a dose-dependent enhancement of electroretinogram (ERG) amplitude lasting 60­120 min. RPCH was able to potentiate ERG amplitude in both light-adapted and dark-adapted animal...

Changes in light sensitivity, measured as changes of the amplitude of the electroretinogram (ERG) were observed after application of RPCH, PDH and ...
متن کاملRed pigment concentrating hormone is a modulator of the crayfish swimmeret system.
The crustacean red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH) has been localized in neurons of the crayfish abdominal nerve cord and modulates the crayfish swimmeret rhythm. An antibody to RPCH labels a small set of cell bodies and axons in each abdominal ganglion. Physiological experiments in which RPCH was perfused into the ganglia of isolated nerve cords showed that RPCH modulated the swimmeret rh...
