The evolution of the green-light-sensitive visual opsin genes (RH2) in teleost fishes

Zuzana Musilova et al.

Summary: Vertebrates have evolved four visual cone opsin classes that allow sensitivity to different wavelengths of light. The RH2 opsin, which is sensitive to green light, has undergone gene duplications, losses, and conversions in the evolution of teleost fishes. By studying the genomes and retinal/eye transcriptomes of 132 teleost species, researchers found a varying number of RH2 gene copies per species and identified conserved gene clusters. The study also revealed a correlation between habitat depth and the presence of certain opsin genes in the visual system of teleost fishes.

Madhavi Mookkan et al.

Summary: This study examined the changes in carotenoid profile in wild-caught spotted scat broodstocks during the reproductive season to determine the most effective strategy for enriching broodstocks in artificial breeding programs. The results revealed significant differences in carotenoid levels among tissues during sexual maturation.

Identification of a key gene StAR-like-3 responsible for carotenoids accumulation in the noble scallop Chlamys nobilis

Yunpeng Xue et al.

Summary: Carotenoids play important roles in the accumulation of scallops, and the StAR-like-3 gene is a key gene responsible for this process. The StAR-like-3 gene encodes a protein called StAR3, which binds with carotenoids and is involved in the accumulation of carotenoids in golden scallops.

1-phenyl 2-thiourea (PTU) activates autophagy in zebrafish embryos

Xiang-Ke Chen et al.

Summary: PTU is a known inhibitor of tyrosinase in zebrafish embryos, but it also affects the process of autophagy. Treatment with PTU leads to aberrant autophagosome formation and lysosomal accumulation in various tissues of zebrafish embryos. While autophagy contributes to pigmentation inhibition caused by PTU, it is not essential for this process.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Candidate Genes Related to Black-Spotted Pattern Formation in Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus)

Xiaozhan Lin et al.

Summary: The study identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to pattern formation in spotted scat, revealing key genes and pathways associated with pigment synthesis and pigmentation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of skin pigmentation differentiation in spotted scat will provide valuable information for skin coloration in other marine fish species.

Disturbed retinoid metabolism upon loss of rlbp1a impairs cone function and leads to subretinal lipid deposits and photoreceptor degeneration in the zebrafish retina

Domino K. Schlegel et al.

Summary: The study used homologous zebrafish models to investigate the pathological effects of RLBP1 gene mutations on retinal disorders. It revealed that the rlbp1a gene is essential for cone photoreceptor function and chromophore metabolism in fish eyes, while rlbp1b mutations do not impair vision.

Functional conservation and divergence of color-pattern-related agouti family genes in teleost fishes

Yipeng Liang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the expression patterns of agouti-signaling genes in Teleostei and reveals their shared role across multiple teleost lineages, as well as a previously unknown association between these genes and stripe-interstripe patterning. In some species, such as zebrafish, these genes exhibit complementary and overlapping expression patterns, suggesting functional redundancy in shaping the evolution of color patterns in teleost fishes.

Fish pigmentation and coloration: Molecular mechanisms and aquaculture perspectives

Mingkun Luo et al.

Summary: Fish coloration, evolved from selection and adaptation, is a prominent feature of remarkable aquaculture merits. Fish possess more pigment cell types than any other vertebrates and are an excellent model for the study of mechanisms underlying skin coloration and pigmentation at levels from molecular genetics to system biology. How to effectively improve skin colour in ornamental and aquaculture fish has long been a focus on selective breeding programmes.

Single-cell RNA analysis identifies pre-migratory neural crest cells expressing markers of differentiated derivatives

Ezra Lencer et al.

Summary: This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize transcriptional changes associated with neural crest cell development in the zebrafish trunk during the early stages of migration. The findings revealed transcriptional diversity in neural crest cells, early expression of genes associated with differentiated derivatives in pre-migratory stages, and the identification of a population of Rohon-Beard neurons. The data presented provide novel genetic markers for multiple trunk neural crest cell populations and Rohon-Beard neurons, shedding light on previously uncharacterized genes critical for vertebrate development.

Development and genetics of red coloration in the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus

Delai Huang et al.

Summary: In Danio fishes, pearl danio's erythrophores share a common progenitor with xanthophores and maintain plasticity in cell fate even after differentiation, while predominant ketocarotenoids that confer red coloration to erythrophores have been identified. The study is a first step toward defining the mechanisms underlying the development of erythrophore-mediated red coloration in Danio, showing parallels with the mechanism of red coloration in birds.
