Disease relevance of Astacoidea

  • Four large neurons in the cerebral ganglion of the crayfish and crab label selectively with a monoclonal antibody raised against substance P [1].
  • The three-dimensional structures of the zinc endopeptidases human neutrophil collagenase, adamalysin II from rattle snake venom, alkaline proteinase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and astacin from crayfish are topologically similar, with respect to a five-stranded beta-sheet and three alpha-helices arranged in typical sequential order [2].
  • Furthermore, the hemagglutinating activity in the crayfish plasma could be specifically inhibited by lipopolysaccharide from E. coli K-235, which might indicate a recognition role for this hemagglutinin [3].
  • Pertussis toxin does not affect the time course of quantal release in crayfish and mouse muscle, but has other post- and presynaptic effects, especially on adenosine autoreceptors [4].
  • Toxicity of fipronil and its degradation products to Procambarus sp.: field and laboratory studies [5].

Associations of Astacoidea with chemical compounds

  • If a homogeneous preparation of crayfish proPO were incubated with a homogeneous sample of the proPO activating enzyme, a serine proteinase, the cleavage of proPO by this trypsin-like enzyme was found to occur between Arg-176 and Thr-177 [28].
  • The difference does not confute the hypothesis that glutamate is the natural transmitter substance at the crayfish NMJ, notwithstanding the fact that the action of the transmitter candidate on the postsynaptic membrane must be identical in every respect with that of the transmitter [18].
  • Neuropeptide proctolin in postural motoneurons of the crayfish [29].
  • Adenylate cyclase system is essential for long-term facilitation at the crayfish neuromuscular junction [30].
  • Adenosine, AMP, ADP, and ATP were tested for their ability to modulate evoked quantal transmitter release at excitor-opener nerve terminals in the crayfish walking leg [31].
