Circadian oscillations of RPCH gene expression in the eyestalk of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus.

چکیده
The RPCH and beta-actin cDNAs from the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus were amplified, cloned and sequenced. The primary structure sequences of these cDNAs were compared to other members of the AKH/RPCH family. Fluctuations in the amount of the C. quadricarinatus RPCH and beta-actin mRNAs, as cDNAs, were quantified every 3h by RT-PCR. Single cosinor analysis supports the notion of beta-actin and RPCH mRNA circadian behavior in animals subjected to 12h:12h light/dark regimes. In constant darkness RPCH mRNA concentration changes to ultradian cycles.

Transcriptomic characterization and curation of candidate neuropeptides regulating reproduction in the eyestalk ganglia of the Australian crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus
The Australian redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) has recently received attention as an emerging candidate for sustainable aquaculture production in Australia and worldwide. More importantly, C. quadricarinatus serves as a good model organism for the commercially important group of decapod crustaceans as it is distributed worldwide, easy to maintain in the laboratory and its reproductive...
متن کاملStimulation of molt by RNA interference of the molt-inhibiting hormone in the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus.
In crustaceans, molting is known to be under the control of neuropeptide hormones synthesized and secreted from the eyestalk ganglia. While the role of molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) in regulating molting has been described in several species using classical methods, an in vivo specific MIH targeted manipulation has not been described yet. In the present study, an MIH cDNA was isolated and seque...
متن کاملReproduction and molt in previously spawned and first-time spawning red-claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus females following eyestalk ablation during the winter reproductive-arrest period
The effect of unilateral eyestalk ablation on reproduction, molting and quality of offspring was investigated in Cherax quadricarinatus females during the reproductive-arrest period (winter). At the end of the Autumn, females that had spawned for the first time had relatively uniform, early vitellogenic ovaries, while most females that had spawned previously had ovaries containing two distinctl...
متن کاملEffect of white spot syndrome virus on the activity of immune-related enzymes in the red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)
In this study, we explored the pathogenic effects of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and effects of yeast cell wall in the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, by investigating the activity of enzymes related to innate immune function following artificial infection of immunized and non-immunized crayfish. Our results reveal that the activity of four enzymes, phenoloxidase (PO), peroxidas...
