A gonad-expressed opsin mediates light-induced spawning in the jellyfish Clytia

Abstract: Across the animal kingdom, environmental light cues are widely involved in regulating gamete release, but the molecular and cellular bases of the photoresponsive mechanisms are poorly understood. In hydrozoan jellyfish, spawning is triggered by dark-light or light-dark transitions acting on the gonad, and is mediated by oocyte maturation-inducing neuropeptide hormones (MIHs) released from the ectoderm. We determined in Clytia hemisphaerica that blue-cyan light triggers spawning in isolated gonads. A candidate … Show more

“…These two precursors are expressed respectively exclusively in the manubrium and tentacle, as well as being co-expressed in scattered cells of the gonad [15]. As well as the cells in the gonad ectoderm that mediate spawning, the anti-PRPa antibody decorates cells in the tentacle especially at its junction with the circular gastrovascular canal, and in the endoderm of the manubrium feeding/digestive organ [15,16] (Fig. 3C).…”

“…An important criterion for the selection of MIH-receptor candidates from the class-A GPCR list was enrichment in oocytes ( Fig.1A). We mapped Illumina HiSeq mRNA reads previously obtained from Clytia gonad tissues [16] and life cycle stage [26] against all putative GPCR sequences. Profile clustering revealed three groups of sequences with oocyte-enriched expression ( Fig.…”
