Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH) is a key enzyme for carbohydrate metabolism in most living organisms. Recent reports and our own searches of teleost species in publicly available genomic databases have identified at least two distinct GAPDH genes in a given species. The two GAPDH genes are located on the same chromosome in teleosts, whereas they are located on the different chromosomes in mammals. Thus, we reconstructed a phylogenetic tree to better understand the evolutionary history of the GAPDH genes in the vertebrate lineage. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed unambiguously that the two GAPDH genes of teleosts are phylogenetically closely affiliated to one of the cytosolic GAPDH and spermatogenic GAPDH-S of mammals. This indicates that the two paralogous GAPDH genes shared a common ancestor and subsequently underwent a gene duplication event during early vertebrate evolution. However, GAPDH-S of teleosts showed significant differences in the polypeptide residues and tissue distribution of its mRNA transcripts from that of mammals, implying they have undergone a different history of functionalization.

아가미는 체조직 중에서도 가장 섬세하고도 미묘하게 적응된 조직학적 구조를 갖고 있을 뿐 아니라 환경수에 직접 노출되어 있기 때문에 수중의 각종 생물학적 및 물리화학적 유해인자에 쉽게 영향을 받을 수 있는 곳이다. 아가미를 구성하는 조직성분중에서도 특히 이차새변상피는 단층 내지 두층의 얇은 상피세포로 구성되어 있어 효율적인 가스교환을 할 수 있게 하지만, 이러한 구조의 특수성이 오히려 각종 유해 인자의 침입 또는 이들에 의한 손상을 쉽게 할 수 있다. 아가미는 호흡기능 뿐만 아니라, 장 및 신장과 함께 삼투압의 조절, 노폐물의 배설의 기능도 갖는다. 그러므로, 새변상피의 괴사나 비후와 같은 형태학적 변화는 호흡, 분비 및 배설기능의 장애를 야기할 수 있으므로 새변상피의 기능적 및 형태학적 유지는 무엇보다 중요하다 하겠다. 여기에서는 어떤 특정질병 또는 원인체에 관련한 병리조직학적 변화보다는 일반적으로 아가미조직의 조직학적 특수성을 우선 깊이 이해하고, 그 특성에 관련된 비특이적인 병리조직학적 변화를 중심으로 기술함으로써, 특정 원인체와의 병리조직학적 반응에 대한 보다 정확한 해석을 기하고자 이미 보고 및 출판된 정보를 토대로 하여 여기에 정리하였다.

The teleosts represent ancient real-bony vertebrates in phylogeny and resemble major genetic patterns to higher vertebrates. In the present study, we have defined the single family of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), compared to the prototype of IGFs observed in the Agnathan hagfish. In flounder, IGFs are clearly diverged into two major types including type I and II, and they are structurally similar by displaying a multidomain structure consisting of five functional regions as previously found in other vertebrates. However, flIGF-I appears to be more basic (pI 8.03) than the flIGF-II (pI 5.34) in the fully processed form for the B to D domain region. The flIGF-I seems to contain an evolutionary conserved Asn-linked glycosylation in E domain, which is not found in flIGF­II. The most interesting feature is that flIGF-II appeared to be structurally close to hagfish IGF in secondary structures, particularly in Band D domains. This could tell us an idea on the molecular divergence of IGFs from the Agnatha to teleosts during the vertebrate phylogeny. It also support, in part, a notion regarding on how IGF-II is appeared as more embryonic during development. Nonetheless, the biologically active B to D domain region of flIGF-II shows significant sequence homology of $65.6\%$ to flIGF-Is and contains the evolutionary conserved insulin-family signature, as well as a reserved recognition site (Lys) in D domain, necessary to generate proteolytic cleavage for E-peptide. A significant structural difference was found in E domain in which flIGF-I possesses two potential alternative splicing donor site at $Val^{17,\;24}$ of E domain. Therefore, it seems so far that IGF-I sorely produces spliced variants due to the spliced E-peptide moiety while IGF-II appears to be maintained in a single type during evolution. IGF-II, however, may be also possible to transcribe unidentified variants, depending on the physiological conditions of tissues in vertebrates in vivo.

본 연구는 서해 중부 연안에 출현하는 쥐노래미 (Hexagrammos otakii)의 위내용물 분석을 통하여, 위내용물 조성과 성장 및 계절별 식성변화를 분석하였다. 쥐노래미의 전장 (total length, TL)은 5.6 cm에서 32.4 cm의 범위였다. 쥐노래미는 단각류 (amphipods), 새우류 (carid shrimps), 어류 (teleosts)를 주로 섭식하였고, 그 외 다양한 저서 갑각류와 무척추동물을 소량 섭식하였다. 새우류와 어류는 미성어 (immature)와 성어 (mature)의 위내용물에서 공통적으로 우점하였다. 단각류와 갯지렁이류 (polychaetes)는 그 다음으로 우점하였는데, 단각류는 작은 크기의 어류에서, 갯지렁이류는 큰 크기의 어류에서 그 비율이 더 높았다. DISTLM (distance-based linear modelling) 결과, 쥐노래미의 위내용물은 전장, 계절, 수온에 따라 유의하게 변하였지만, 성숙도와는 관련이 없었다.

In this study, the dietary habits of the spinyhead sculpin Dasycottus setiger were investigated based on 156 specimens collected seasonally between May 2018 and February 2019 from the East Sea off the Korean coast. In terms of the weight contribution (%W), the main food items of the spinyhead sculpin were found to be teleosts (33.5%), followed by carid shrimps (13.8%), amphipods (13.3%), cephalopods (12.0%), and polychaetes (7.1%). Dietary analyses based on the weight contribution of different prey taxa in the diet of the spinyhead sculpin revealed considerable variation in the dietary composition in terms of the sampling region and fish size implying intra-specific dietary segregation. The spinyhead sculpin showed a size-related trends in dietary shift from amphipods to carid shrimps and teleosts in northern region, and from carid shrimps and mysids to teleosts and cephalopods in middle eastern coast. Multivariate analyses of dietary changes revealed that the dietary composition of spinyhead sculpin is significantly associated with the sampling site, but not the fish size. Amphipods contributed more to the diets of the northern population, while mysids typified the diets of spinyhead scuplin inhabiting the middle eastern coast, indicating differences in available food resources between the two study regions.

Gonadotropin (GTH) is a pituitary glycoprotein hormone that regulates gonadal development in vertebrates. In teleosts, two types of gonadotropins, GTH-I and GTH-II, are produced in the pituitary, and they comprised of common ${\alpha}$ and distinct ${\beta}$ subunits. In the present study, the cDNAs encoding GTH ${\alpha}\;and\;GTH-II{\beta}$ subunits were cloned and sequenced from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) pituitary cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the a subunit was 619 bp long, encoding 124 amino acids, and that of the $GTH-II{\beta}$ subunit was 538 bp long, encoding 145 amino acids. GTH subunits had well conserved cysteines, when aligned with other members of the glycoprotein family. The ${\beta}$ subunit of gonadotropin II ($GTH-II{\beta}$) had a different N-linked glycosylation site. RT-PCR analysis showed an increase of GTH II mRNA levels in association with gonadal development, and also showed that the mRNA expression of the ${\alpha}$ subunit was detected only in tissues from pituitary glands.

Kisspeptin (Kiss) and its cognate receptor, kisspeptin receptor (KissR; G protein coupled receptor 54, GPR54), have recently been recognized as potent regulators of reproduction in teleosts. Additionally, leptin plays an important role in energy homeostasis and reproductive function in teleosts. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in the concentration of the hormones of the Kiss/KissR system and leptin and the expression of their underlying genes, all of which are involved in the sexual maturation of female goldfish, Carassius auratus, following treatment with Kiss. The expression levels of KissR increased after the Kiss injection. Furthermore, the peptide hormone leptin also increased after the injection (in vivo and in vitro). Additionally, the expression of GnRH and GTHs (GTHα, FSHβ, and LHβ) increased in the brain and pituitary (in vitro and in vitro). These results support the hypothesis that Kiss plays important roles in the direct regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and leptin in goldfish. Therefore, we suggest that Kiss system gene expression is correlated with energy balance and reproduction.

Our previous studies of both microarray analysis in channel catfish muscle gene expression of 2 different ages and channel catfish muscle expressed sequence tag profiles demonstrated parvalbumin beta is one of the highly expressed muscle transcriptome. We have cloned and sequenced complementary DNA encoding the channel catfish parvalbumin which encode 109 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequences of the catfish parvalbumin are highly conserved with those cloned from other teleosts. The availability of the catfish parvalbumin provides the opportunity of studying fish epitopes.

Genetical characters and abilities will be appeared by the special gene or gene group on the chromosomes. We have two different stand-points to this problem. (I) If these genes become homozygotic, the genetic presentation will be emphasized and fixed as a pure line. (II) The genetic presentation will be emphasized by the heterozygotic genes and, on the contrary, homozygotic genes only make no efficiency to emphasis in genetical characters. The problem which is by far the better of the two standpoints, should be evaluated and determined by the purposes of human beings.
