- W2000862511 abstract "We report the isolation of a cDNA clone encoding a neuropeptide precursor named preproGFAD from the central nervous system (CNS) of the snail Helix lucorum. Analysis of the expression of this gene shows that it is neurospecific and expressed in several groups of CNS neurons. Most notable is the expression of preproGFAD gene in the right mesocerebrum, where the neurons controlling mating behavior are located. The expression in this particular region is observed in adult animals but not in juvenile ones. The preprohormone is 108 amino acids long and contains a hydrophobic leader peptide and eight Lys-Arg recognition sites for endoproteolysis. The post-translational processing of the prohormone may lead to the generation of seven tetrapeptides, Gly-Phe-Ala-Asp-COOH (GFAD). This peptide has the same sequence as two previously isolated peptides from a related snail, Achatina fulica. The first of them (achatin-I) contains D-Phe; the second (achatin-II) is its L-Phe-containing stereoisomer. Injection of synthetic D-GFAD in nanomolar concentrations into intact animals caused an increase of the heartbeat rate and opening of the genital atrium. In preparations containing CNS with intact innervation of reproductive organs, bath application of D-GFAD caused extensive movements of the penis but not of other reproductive organs. Intracellular activation of individual neurons expressing the preproGFAD gene also elicited penis movements. D-GFAD also suppressed activity of neurons modulating feeding behavior. Our data therefore indicate that the preproGFAD gene encodes the precursor of a neuropeptide that participates in the regulation of male mating behavior." @default.
