Disease relevance of Palinuridae

• The transient potassium (K+) current, or A-current (IA), plays an essential role in shaping the firing properties of identified neurons in the 14-cell pyloric network in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus [1].

Psychiatry related information on Palinuridae

• We used spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus) in a discrimination learning procedure with aversive conditioning to examine their behavioral discrimination of adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP), betaine, L-cysteine and their binary mixtures [2].

High impact information on Palinuridae

• We now report that crustacean neurons, taken from the peptidergic neurosecretory system of the eyestalk of crabs (Cardisoma carnifex) and lobsters (Panulirus marginatus), show immediate outgrowth, sustained for a week or more, in defined medium as simple as physiological saline with glucose and glutamine [3].
• The effect of carbon monoxide on the luminescence properties of Helix pomatia alpha-hemocyanin and Panulirus interruptus hemocyanin has been studied [4].
• The monoamines dopamine (DA), serotonin (5HT), and octopamine (Oct) can each sculpt a unique motor pattern from the pyloric network in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus [5].
• Comparing these currents with the IAs obtained from oocytes injected with Panulirus shaker and shal cRNA (lobster Ishaker and lobster Ishal, respectively) reveals that the pyloric cell IAs more closely resemble lobster Ishal than lobster Ishaker [6].
• A unique probe--biotinylated adenosine-5'-monophosphate (5'AMP-biotin)--was used in transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies to localize 5'AMP odorant binding sites on the dendrites of olfactory receptor neurons in the aesthetasc sensilla of the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Palinuridae

• Bath application of dopamine modifies the rhythmic motor pattern generated by the 14 neuron pyloric network in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus [8].
• The modulation of the pyloric network of the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the lobster Panulirus interruptus by the neuropeptide proctolin is described [9].
• 1. We analyzed the physiological effects of the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin, and other adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-elevating agents, on neurons of the pyloric circuit from the stomatogastric ganglion of the lobster Panulirus interruptus [10].

Biological context of Palinuridae

• In normal physiological saline, the reversal potential of the Panulirus GABA-induced response was near the resting potential [11].
• Kinetics of the equilibration of O2 with Panulirus interruptus hemocyanin subunits a, b and c [12].

Anatomical context of Palinuridae

• Two species (Panulirus interruptus and Homarus americanus) have cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity within fibers and neuropil of the stomatogastric ganglion (STG); two other species (Cancer antenarius and Procambarus clarkii) do not [13].
• Descending neurons with dopamine-like or with substance P/FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity target the somata of olfactory interneurons in the brain of the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus [14].
• The water soluble arsenic compound present in the hepatopancreas of the western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus George) has been isolated as the reineckate salt and has been identified as arsenobetaine [15].
• The inhibitory chloride channel of the lobster Panulirus penicillatus neuromuscular junction [16].
• Administration of 3-methylcholanthrene (10 mg/kg) i.m. to spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, did not cause induction of the cytochrome P-450 content of hepatopancreas microsomes [17].

Associations of Palinuridae with chemical compounds

• The properties of glutamate-activated excitatory currents on the gm6 muscle from the foregut of the spiny lobsters Panulirus argus and interruptus and the crab Cancer borealis were examined using either noise analysis, analysis of synaptic current decays, or slow iontophoretic currents [18].
• The closest Panulirus tyrosine hydroxyl is 10.6 A from the copper ions [19].
• The olfactory system of the Florida spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, has olfactory receptors that are excited by the purine nucleotides AMP, ADP, and ATP [20].
• Taken together, these factors largely explain the complex pyloric pattern recorded in RPCH in Panulirus [21].
• We cloned and sequenced the cDNA for the shaw gene, encoding a voltage-dependent potassium (K+) channel, from the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus [22].

Gene context of Palinuridae

• The toxin selectively blocked one pore form, whereas the other form, heteromers between the two pore forms, and Panulirus shal were not blocked [23].
• Glutamine synthetase is a glial-specific marker in the olfactory regions of the lobster (Panulirus argus) nervous system [24].
• We therefore quantified the effects of cardiac sac activity on the OSF of all pyloric neurons in the lobster, Panulirus interruptus [25].
• Non-reciprocal cross-adaptation of spiking responses of individual olfactory receptor neurons of spiny lobsters: evidence for two excitatory transduction pathways [26].
• The conserved structure of TRP in crustaceans was confirmed by cloning preproTRP from the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus [27].
