Abstract:
:Serotonin receptor (5-HT) is a biogenic amine acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator that mediates various aspects of reproduction and gametogenesis. The full-length nucleotide sequence of Haliotis discus hannai encodes a protein of 417 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 46.54 kDa and isoelectric point of 8.94. The structural profile of 5-HTHdh displayed key features of G protein-coupled receptors, including seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains, putative N-linked glycosylation sites, and several phosphorylation consensus motifs. It shares the highest homology of its amino acid sequence with the 5-HT receptor from Haliotis asinina, and to lesser extent of human 5-HT receptor. The cloned sequence possesses two cysteine residues (Cys-115 and Cys-193), which are likely to form a disulfide bond. Phylogenetic comparison with other known 5-HT receptor genes revealed that the 5-HTHdh is most closely related to the 5-HTHa receptor. The three-dimensional structure of the 5-HTHdh showed multiple alpha helices which is separated by a helix-loop-helix (HLH) structure. Quantitative PCR demonstrated that the receptor mRNA was predominantly expressed in the pleuropedal ganglion. Significant differences in the transcriptional activity of the 5-HTHdh gene were observed in the ovary at the ripening stage. An exclusive expression was detected in pleuropedal ganglion, testis, and ovary at higher effective accumulative temperature (1000 °C). In situ hybridization showed that the 5-HTHdh expressing neurosecretory cells were distributed in the cortex of the pleuropedal ganglion. Our results suggest that 5-HTHdh synthesized in the neural ganglia may be involved in oocyte maturation and spawning of H. discus hannai.
