Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase-like immunoreactivity in the central nervous system and midgut of the migratory locust. Comparisons with gastrin-cholecystokinin-like and octopamine-like immunoreactivity
Tóm tắt
A tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS)-immunoreactivity is localized in various neurosecretory cells of all ganglia of the central nervous system of the Orthoptera Locusta migratoria, except in deutocerebrum, and in endocrine cells of the midgut. It has been observed that TrpRS-like material never co-localizes either with CCK-like or octopamine-like material. TrpRS immunoreactive perikarya and processes that ramify extensively throughout the neuropiles have been detected in the protocerebrum, optic lobes, tritocerebrum, suboesophageal, thoracic and abdominal ganglia. In the lateral protocerebrum, a particular TrpRS pathway different from the lateral gastrin cholecystokinin (CCK-8(s)) pathway is revealed, certain of these processes terminating in the glandular part of the corpora cardiaca. In the metathoracic ganglion, have been observed numerous immunoreactive cell bodies and processes in the neuropiles. Some of them constitute a major pathway and which are distinct from octopamine (OA) cells but in close vicinity with the latter. In the midgut immunopositive TrpRS-like cells are dispersed among the regenerative and digestive cells of the epithelium; they are different from gastrin-cholecystokinin positive cells. The various TrpRS-like immunoreactivities identified in Locusta indicate that TrpRS-like material may occur in different tissues of organisms other than Vertebrates. These results suggest also that TrpRS-like enzyme could be involved in functions other than aminoacylation, as in Vertebrates.
