Lipid storage capacities determine life history traits of organisms and, thus, their ecological function. Among storage lipids, triacylglycerols (TAGs) are widespread in marine invertebrates. However, abilities to accumulate TAGs can vary even between closely related species, such as the caridean shrimps <em>Crangon crangon</em> and <em>Pandalus montagui</em>. The first species shows low TAG levels throughout the year in the main storage organ, the midgut gland, while the latter accumulates high TAG-levels, peaking in summer. TAGs synthesis is facilitated by the terminal step of the Kennedy-pathway, where the enzyme diacylglycerol-acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the esterification of diacylglycerols with activated fatty acids. We investigated DGAT activity in the midgut gland using a fluorescent enzyme assay. Sequence information was extracted from whole transcriptome shotgun assembly data, that is publicly available on NCBI, and catalytic properties were deduced from molecular structure analysis. <em>C. crangon</em> showed significantly lower TAG synthesis rates than <em>P. montagui</em>, which explains the native TAG levels. Transcriptome data yielded several isoforms of DGAT enzymes in both species. <em>C. crangon</em> DGAT showed point mutations, which are capable of obstructing the catalytic capacity. The consequences are limited starvation resistance and, thus, presumably restricting <em>C. crangon</em> to a habitat with year-round sufficient food. In contrast, higher TAG synthesis rates presumably enable <em>P. montagui</em> to extend into northern subarctic habitats with limited food availability in winter. Moreover, the limited TAG synthesis and accumulation in the midgut gland may force <em>C. crangon</em> to direct energy into the ovaries, which results in multiple spawnings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55236,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology B-Biochemistry & Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9978823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elevated temperatures during summer often result in significant high mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are class of small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role as post-transcriptional regulators in various biological processes. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNAs are important regulators role during heat stress. Analyzing previously obtained miRNA-sequencing data, we observed substantial down regulation of miR-8159-x in the liver tissue of heat stressed rainbow trout. In this study, we conducted a dual luciferase reporter assay to validate that miR-8159-x target, a key gene involved in heat stress in rainbow trout. By examining the expression patterns of miR-8159-x and <em>hsp90a1</em> in the liver tissue at 18 °C (CG) and 24 °C (HS) groups, we propose that miR-8159-x may negatively regulate <em>hsp90a1</em>. Furthermore, <em>in vitro</em> hepatocyte assay, transfection with miR-8159-x mimics significantly reduced the expression level of <em>hsp90a1</em>, whereas transfection with a miR-8159-x inhibitor yielded the opposite effect. Additionally, overexpression of miR-8159-x inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in normal rainbow trout hepatocytes. We further investigated the effects of miR-8159-x overexpression or inhibition on the mRNA and protein levels of the target gene <em>hsp90a1</em> under heat stress conditions. In conclusion, our findings suggest that miR-8159-x participates in the biological response to heat stress by targeting <em>hsp90a1</em>.
