| Abstract | We previously analyzed the central nervous system (CNS) transcriptome and found three isotypes of long neuropeptide F (MrNPF-I, −II, −III) and four isoforms of short NPF (sMrNPF) in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. We now validate the complete sequences of the MrNPF-I and −II precursor proteins, which show high similarity (91–95 %) to NPFs of the penaeus shrimp (PsNPF). MrNPF-I and -II precursors share 71 % amino acid identity, whereas the mature 32-amino-acid MrNPF-I and 69-amino-acid MrNPF-II are identical, except for a 37-amino-acid insert within the middle part of the latter. Both mature MrNPFs are almost identical to PsNPF-I and −II except for four amino acids at the mid-region of the peptides. Reverse transcription plus the polymerase chain reaction revealed that transripts of MrNPF-I and -II were expressed in various parts of CNS including the eyestalk, brain and thoracic and abdominal ganglia, with the highest expression occurring in the brain and thoracic ganglia and with MrNPF-I showing five- to seven-fold higher expression than MrNPF-II. These peptides were also expressed in the midgut hindgut, and hepatopancreas, with MrNPF-I expression in the former two organs being at the same level as that in the brain and thoracic ganglia and about 4-fold higher than NPF-II. The expression of NPFs was also detected in the testes and spermatic duct but appeared much weaker in the latter. Other tissues that also expressed a considerable amount of NPF-I included the hematopoeitic tissue, heart and muscle. By immunohistochemistry, we detected MrNPFs in neurons of clusters 2, 3 and 4 and neuropils ME, MT and SG of the optic ganglia, neurons in cluster 6 and neuropils AMPN, PMPN, PT, PB and CB of the medial protocerebrum, neurons in clusters 9 and 11 and neurophils ON and OGTN of the deutocerebrum and neurons in clusters 14, 15 and 16 and neuropils TN and AnN of the tritocerebrum. Because of their high degree of conservation and strong and wide-spread expression in tissues other than CNS, we believe that, in addition to being a neuromodulator in controlling feeding, MrNPFs also play critical roles in tissue homeostasis. This should be further explored. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
