Popis: | In the present study, four full-length cDNAs of somatostatin receptor (sstr) were cloned from the forebrain and pituitary of red-spotted grouper. The four full-length cDNAs were designated 2292, 1522, 1873 and 1789 bp and identified as sstr1, sstr2, sstr3, and sstr5 by BLAST analysis; the corresponding sizes of the open reading frames (ORFs) were 1155, 1113, 1467 and 1503 bp, which encoding 384, 370, 488 and 500 aa, respectively. The four receptors have seven transmembrane structures and contain the YANSCANPI/VLY sequence, which is the conserved amino acid sequence of the SSTR family. A tissue distribution study showed that the four sstrs had different expression patterns, suggesting that they may play different roles in regulating different physiological processes. The four receptors mediate ERK1/2 phosphorylation by SS-14 in HEK293 cells, and SS-14 promotes ATK and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in primary hepatocytes of red-spotted grouper. These results facilitate the study of SSTRs-mediated intracellular signaling pathways. |
