Calcitonin-typical suppression of osteoclastic activity by amphioxus calcitonin superfamily peptides and insights into the evolutionary conservation and diversity of their structures
Highlights • Amphioxus, Branchiostoma floridae, possesses three calcitonin (CT) family peptides designated as B. floridae CT family peptides 1–3 (Bf-CTFP1–3). • Bf-CTFPs suppress the ostoclastic activity of goldfish scales via the CT receptor. • Bf-CTFPs and salmon CT share common essential amino ac...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Amphioxus, Branchiostoma floridae, possesses three calcitonin (CT) family peptides designated as B. floridae CT family peptides 1–3 (Bf-CTFP1–3). • Bf-CTFPs suppress the ostoclastic activity of goldfish scales via the CT receptor. • Bf-CTFPs and salmon CT share common essential amino acids for ligand activity. • The alpha-helical structure of Bf-CTFP1 and 2 is conserved with that of teleost CT. • Bf-CTFP3 has a unique alpha-helical structure. |
