Trends in the evolution of the elasmobranch melanocortin-2 receptor: Insights from structure/function studies on the activation of whale shark Mc2r

Brianne E. Hoglin et al.

Summary: By coexpressing wsmc2r and wsmrap1 in CHO cells and stimulating transfected cells with alanine-substituted analogs of ACTH(1-24), it was discovered that the H6F7R8W9 motif was crucial for activation of wsmc2r, while the K15K16R17R18P19 motif affected the sensitivity of wsmc2r to stimulation. The EC2 domain of wsMc2r was found to play a role in activation, and an activation motif in the N-terminal of wsMrap1 did not impact the sensitivity of wsMc2r.

Acute thermal stress elicits interactions between gene expression and alternative splicing in a fish of conservation concern

Matt J. Thorstensen et al.

Summary: Transcriptomic research helps us understand an organism's response to environmental challenges, such as increasing temperatures due to urbanization and climate change. In this study, we investigated the redside dace to understand the role of gene expression-splicing interactions in the thermal stress response. Our results showed that thermally stressed fish had transcriptional responses related to transcription regulation and unfolded protein responses, as well as alternatively spliced genes related to gene expression regulation and metabolism. We also identified a specific splicing factor that may play a role in the cellular stress response. Understanding the relationship between gene expression and splicing is important for comprehending transcriptomic responses to thermal stress.

Robert M. Dores et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that activation of the melanocortin-2 receptor requires chaperoning by the Mc2r accessory protein, and the Y-20 position in the Mrap1 ortholog is crucial for this activation. The formation of an Mc2r/Mrap1 heterodimer emerged early in the radiation of the bony vertebrates.

Ciaran A. Shaughnessy et al.

Summary: This study examined the structure and pharmacological properties of Mc2r receptor in the Senegal bichir and found that it depends on Mrap1 and is selectively activated by ACTH. These findings suggest that these functional characteristics are ancestral to all bony fish Mc2rs.

Hypothesis and Theory: Evaluating the Co-Evolution of the Melanocortin-2 Receptor and the Accessory Protein MRAP1

Robert M. Dores et al.

Summary: The co-evolution of MC2R and MRAP1 in chordates has had profound effects on the physiological systems of bony vertebrates, leading to specific ligand selectivity and trafficking properties. However, the effects of this interaction on cartilaginous fishes are less clear. Future studies may shed more light on the differences in ligand activation and trafficking between these two groups of vertebrates.
