Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmacological characterization of ligand-receptor interactions at the zebrafish bradykinin receptor.
TL;DR: Cloned zebrafish BK receptors reveals a ligand‐interaction profile that is distinct from mammalian B1 and B2 receptors and from the previously characterized BK receptor in trout stomach, but similar to the receptor in cod intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from the primary structures of dermal antimicrobial peptides that Rana tagoi okiensis and Rana tagoi tagoi (Ranidae) are not conspecific subspecies.
J. Michael Conlon,Laurent Coquet,Thierry Jouenne,Jérôme Leprince,Hubert Vaudry,Shawichi Iwamuro +5 more
TL;DR: Five peptides with antimicrobial activity were isolated from an extract of the skins of specimens of Rana tagoi okiensis collected on the Oki Islands, Japan and determined that they belong to the ranatuerin-2 family, two peptides to the temporin family, and one peptide to the brevinin-1 family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peptidomic analysis of skin secretions supports separate species status for the tailed frogs, Ascaphus truei and Ascaphus montanus.
J. Michael Conlon,Catherine R. Bevier,Laurent Coquet,Jérôme Leprince,Thierry Jouenne,Hubert Vaudry,Blake R. Hossack +6 more
TL;DR: The data support the claims, derived from analysis of the nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial genes, that the inland populations of the tailed frog should be recognized as a distinct species, the Rocky Mountain tailedfrog Ascaphus montanus and that the divergence of the species from A. truei probably occurred in the late Miocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urotensin I and its N-terminal flanking peptide from the flounder, Platichthys flesus.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the second peptide probably represents the N-terminal flanking peptide of pro-urotensin I which, it has previously been suggested, may function as a urotensin-binding peptide (urophysin) analogous to the neurophysins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybridization between the African clawed frogs Xenopus laevis and Xenopus muelleri (Pipidae) increases the multiplicity of antimicrobial peptides in skin secretions of female offspring.
Milena Mechkarska,Mohammed A. Meetani,Pawel Michalak,Pawel Michalak,Zalman Vaksman,Koji Takada,J. Michael Conlon +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that hybridization increases the multiplicity of skin host-defense peptides in skin secretions from laboratory-generated female F1 hybrids of the common clawed frog Xenopus laevis and Mueller's clawedfrog Xenopus muelleri.
