A novel aquaporin 3 in killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) is not an arsenic channel.
The Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) is a model environmental organism that has an extremely low assimilation rate of environmental arsenic. As a first step in elucidating the mechanism behind this phenomenon, we used quantitative real-time PCR to identify aquaglyceroporins (AQPs), which are arsenite transporters, in the killifish gill. A novel homolog killifish AQP3 (kfAQP3a) was clo...
متن کاملAdaptive plasticity of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) embryos: dehydration-stimulated development and differential aquaporin-3 expression.
Embryos of the marine killifish Fundulus heteroclitus are adapted to survive aerially. However, it is unknown if they are able to control development under dehydration conditions. Here, we show that air-exposed blastula embryos under saturated relative humidity were able to stimulate development, and hence the time of hatching was advanced with respect to embryos continuously immersed in seawat...
متن کاملEndocrinological Studies on the Euryhaline Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus (Linn.) **
The common killifish of the eastern United States, Fundulus heteroclitus (Linn.), is widely employed as an experimental animal by zoologists, em-bryologists, and comparative physiologists. The late Dr. Myron Gordon8' points out that it is a hardy species of convenient size, readily caught in tidal pools but not usually bred in aquaria for purposes of raising the stock. Dr. Gordon warns against ...
متن کاملMechanisms and costs of mitochondrial thermal acclimation in a eurythermal killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus).
Processes acting at the level of the mitochondria have been suggested to affect the thermal limits of organisms. To determine whether changes in mitochondrial properties could underlie shifts in thermal limits, we examined how mitochondrial properties are affected by thermal acclimation in the eurythermal killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus - a species with substantial plasticity in whole-organism...
متن کاملEffects of benzo(a)pyrene exposure on killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) aromatase activities and mRNA.
Cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19) plays an important role in steroid homoeostasis by converting androgens to estrogens. To evaluate the effects of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a model carcinogenic PAH and AhR ligand, on aromatase mRNA expression and enzyme activity, adult Fundulus were exposed to water-borne BaP (1 and 10 microg/L) for 15 days, and embryos were exposed to 10 microg/L for 10 days. Effe...
