| Research Abstract |
We cloned the cDNA transcripts of prepro Gonadotropin Releasing Hormones (GnRH)-like peptides from the central nervous system of scallop(pyGnRH)and oyster (cgGnRH). The putative pyGnRH peptide stimulated the proliferation of spermatogonia, which was mediated through the induction of estrogen synthesis by pyGnRH.
We successfully cloned two novel forms of estrogen receptor from two kinds of mussels and Japanese scallop. These receptors were classified each into an estrogen receptor (ER) and estrogen-related receptor (ERR) and were expressed in both ovary and testis. The flounder ERa-mediated gene assay suggested that pyER behaves as a transcription factor to estrogen while pyERR is a constitutive activator.
Serotonin (5-HT)-induced oocyte maturation and sperm motility is inhibited by oocyte maturation arresting factor (OMAF) due to interference of extracellular Ca2+ influx. The release from suppressive OMAF due to absorption with antibody against OMAF amplified the 5-HT-induced spawning.
