Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2024; 296:111696. [PMID: 39004301 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2024.111696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Decapod Crustacea exhibit a marine origin, but many taxa have occupied environments ranging from brackish to fresh water and terrestrial habitats, overcoming their inherent osmotic challenges. Osmotic and ionic regulation is achieved by the gill epithelia, driven by two active ATP-hydrolyzing ion transporters, the basal (Na+, K+)-ATPase and the apical V(H+)-ATPase. The kinetic characteristic of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase and the mRNA expression of its α subunit have been widely studied in various decapod species under different salinity challenges. However, the evolution of the primary structure has not been explored, especially considering the functional modifications associated with decapod phylogeny. Here, we proposed a model for the topology of the decapod α subunit, identifying the sites and motifs involved in its function and regulation, as well as the patterns of its evolution assuming a decapod phylogeny. We also examined both the amino acid substitutions and their functional implications within the context of biochemical and physiological adaptation. The α-subunit of decapod crustaceans shows greater conservation (∼94% identity) compared to the β-subunit (∼40%). While the binding sites for ATP and modulators are conserved in the decapod enzyme, the residues involved in the α-β interaction are only partially conserved. In the phylogenetic context of the complete sequence of (Na+, K+)-ATPase α-subunit, most substitutions appear to be characteristic of the entire group, with specific changes for different subgroups, especially among brachyuran crabs. Interestingly, there was no consistent separation of α-subunit partial sequences related to habitat, suggesting that the convergent evolution for freshwater or terrestrial modes of life is not correlated with similar changes in the enzyme's primary amino acid sequence.

Abstract
The Macrobrachium amazonicum complex is composed of at least the Macrobrachium amazonicum and Macrobrachium pantanalense species, with the latter described from specimens originally identified as part of an endemic M. amazonicum population in the Brazilian Pantanal region. While there may be a reproductive barrier between these two Macrobrachium species, both are phylogenetically close, with small genetic distance. However, there is currently no available biochemical information of Macrobrachium pantanalense (Na+, K+)-ATPase. Here, we report the kinetic characteristics of the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase in two populations of M. pantanalense from Baiazinha Lagoon (Miranda, MS, Brazil) and Araguari River (Uberlândia, MG, Brazil), and compare them with Macrobrachium amazonicum populations from the Paraná-Paraguay River Basin. (Na+, K+)-ATPase activities were 67.9 ± 3.4 and 93.3 ± 4.1 nmol Pi min-1 mg-1 protein for the Baiazinha Lagoon and Araguari River populations, respectively. Two ATP hydrolyzing sites were observed for the Araguari River population while a single ATP site was observed for the Baiazinha Lagoon shrimps. Compared to the Araguari River population, a 3-fold greater apparent affinity for Mg2+ and Na+ was estimated for the Baiazinha Lagoon population, but no difference in K+ affinity and ouabain inhibition was seen. The kinetic differences observed in the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase between the two populations of M. pantanalense, compared with those of various M. amazonicum populations, highlight interspecific divergence within the Macrobrachium genus, now examined from a biochemical perspective.

Abstract
Narrow clawed crayfish, Pontastacus (Astacus) leptodactylus, represents an ecologically and economically valuable freshwater species. Despite the high importance of artificial breeding for conservation purpose and aquaculture potential, hatching protocols have not been developed so far in this species. Further, limited knowledge exists regarding the artificial egg incubation, the temperature effect on embryonic development, hatching synchronization and hatching rate. In the present study we investigated the temperature increase (from 17 oC to 22oC) effects in two different embryonic developmental stages of P. leptodactylus. Furthermore, two primer pairs for the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 4 (FGFR4) gene cDNA amplification were successfully designed, characterising for the first time the FGFR4 gene in P. leptodactylus in relation to different developmental stages and temperatures. Apart from the FGFR4 gene, the Na+/K+-ATPase α-subunit expression was also explored. Both the FGFR4 and Na+/K+-ATPase α-subunit expression levels were higher in embryos closer to hatching. Egg incubation at 22oC for seven days led to significant increase of FGFR4 expression in embryos from earlier developmental stages. Nevertheless, temperature increase did not affect FGFR4 expression in eggs from latter developmental stages and Na+/K+-ATPase α-subunit expression in all developmental stages. Temperature increase represents therefore probably a promising strategy for accelerating hatching in freshwater crayfish particularly in early developmental stages. Specifically, our results indicate that FGFR4 expression increased in embryonic stages closer to hatching and that temperature influences significantly its expression in embryos from earlier developmental stages. Overall, these findings can provide a better understanding of artificial egg incubation of P. leptodactylus, and therefore can be employed for the effective management of this species, both for economic and biodiversity retention reasons.

Abstract
This investigation examines the kinetic characteristics and effect of acclimation to a brackish medium (21 ‰S) on gill V(H+)-ATPase activity in two hololimnetic populations of M. amazonicum. We also investigate the cellular immunolocalization of the enzyme. Immunofluorescence findings demonstrate that the V(H+)-ATPase c-subunit is distributed in the apical pillar cells of shrimps in fresh water but is absent after acclimation to 21 ‰S for 10 days. V(H+)-ATPase activity from the Tietê River population is ≈50% greater than the Grande River population, comparable to a wild population from the Santa Elisa Reservoir, but is 2-fold less than in cultivated shrimps. V(H+)-ATPase activity in the Tietê and the Grande River shrimps is abolished after 21 ‰S acclimation. The apparent affinities of the V(H+)-ATPase for ATP (0.27 ± 0.04 and 0.16 ± 0.03 mmol L-1, respectively) and Mg2+ (0.28 ± 0.05 and 0.14 ± 0.02 mmol L-1, respectively) are similar in both populations. The absence of V(H+)-ATPase activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps and its apical distribution in shrimps in fresh water underpins the importance of the crustacean V(H+)-ATPase for ion uptake in fresh water.

Abstract
High alkalinity stress was considered as a major risk factor for aquatic animals surviving in saline-alkaline water. However, few information exists on the effects of alkalinity stress in crustacean species. As the dominant role of gills in osmotic and ionic regulation, the present study firstly evaluated the effect of alkalinity stress in Exopalaemon carinicauda to determine changes in gill microstructure, and then explore the heterogeneity response of gill cells in alkalinity adaptation by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Hemolymph osmolality and pH were increased remarkably, and gills showed pillar cells with more symmetrical arrangement and longer lateral flanges and nephrocytes with larger vacuoles in high alkalinity. ScRNA-seq results showed that alkalinity stress reduced the proportion of pillar cells and increased the proportion of nephrocytes significantly. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to ion transport, especially acid-base regulation, such as V(H+)-ATPases and carbonic anhydrases, were down-regulated in pillar cells and up-regulated in nephrocytes. Furthermore, pseudotime analysis showed that some nephrocytes transformed to perform ion transport function in alkalinity adaption. Notedly, the positive signals of carbonic anhydrase were obviously observed in the nephrocytes after alkalinity stress. These results indicated that the alkalinity stress inhibited the ion transport function of pillar cells, but induced the active role of nephrocytes in alkalinity adaptation. Collectively, our results provided the new insight into the cellular and molecular mechanism behind the adverse effects of saline-alkaline water and the saline-alkaline adaption mechanism in crustaceans.

Abstract
Eyestalk is considered the main neuroendocrine organ in crustaceans. Eyestalk regulates reproduction, molting, and energy metabolism by secreting several neurohormones. However, the role of eyestalk in salinity adaptation in crustaceans remains unclear. To reveal the role of eyestalk in salinity adaptation in Litopenaeus vannamei, we performed RNA-seq to compare the transcriptomic response of the eyestalk under low salinity (salinity 3) with that of the control group (salinity 25) for 8 weeks. A total of 479 mRNAs, including 150 upregulated and 329 downregulated mRNAs, were differentially expressed between the two salinity groups. The majority of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in biological pathways related to osmoregulation, metabolism and energy production, and oxidative stress. The most important DEGs associated with osmoregulation were CA4, ATP1A, ATP2B, ABCB1, ABCC4, PhoA, PhoB, NOS1, ACE, ANPEP, and the V-type H+-ATPase E-subunit. The metabolism-related DEGs were divided into three main categories: carbohydrate and energy metabolism (i.e., G6PC, UGT), protein and amino acid metabolism (i.e., SLC15A1, AhcY, GFAT), and lipid and fatty acid metabolism (i.e., GPAT3_4, CYP2J). The key DEGs related to the oxidative stress response were UGT, NDUFB1, QCR7, QCR8, P5CDh, COX6B, and CES1. These results provide evidence for the existence of an eyestalk-salinity adaptation-stress endocrine axis in L. vannamei. These findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying salinity adaptation in L. vannamei.

Abstract
High pH is one of the main stressors affecting the shrimp survival, growth, and physiology in aquaculture ponds, but the cellular and molecular mechanism responsible for high pH stress has not been elucidated in shrimp. In this study, the shrimp acid-base disturbance and gill cell alterations were significantly observed and then single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to study the sensitive and specific responses of gill cells to high pH stress. Three main gill cell types, including pillar cells, hemocytes and septal cells were identified. By comparative scRNA-seq analysis between control and pH group, the pillar cell was regarded as the target cell type in response to high pH stress with the down-regulation of ammonia excretion and H+ transport related genes and up-regulation of immune related genes. Notedly, high pH resulted in the emergence of a new immune cell subcluster in pillar cells, with immune activation and stress defense states. Pseudotime analysis also showed that the pillar cells could transform into the functionally inhibited ion cell subclusters and functionally activated immune cell subclusters after high pH stress. Further, the regulatory network of pillar cell population was predicted by WGCNA and two transcription factors were identified. In conclusion, these results provide key insights into the shrimp gill cell-type-specific mechanisms underlying high pH stress response at a single-cell resolution.

Abstract
Life in fresh water is osmotically and energetically challenging for living organisms, requiring increases in ion uptake from dilute environments. However, mechanisms of ion uptake from freshwater environments are still poorly understood and controversial, especially in arthropods, for which several hypothetical models have been proposed based on incomplete data. One compelling model involves the proton pump V-type H+ ATPase (VHA), which energizes the apical membrane, enabling the uptake of Na+ (and other cations) via an unknown Na+ transporter (referred to as the "Wieczorek Exchanger" in insects). What evidence exists for this model of ion uptake and what is this mystery exchanger or channel that cooperates with VHA? We present results from studies that explore this question in crustaceans, insects, and teleost fish. We argue that the Na+/H+ antiporter (NHA) is a likely candidate for the Wieczorek Exchanger in many crustaceans and insects; although, there is no evidence that this is the case for fish. NHA was discovered relatively recently in animals and its functions have not been well characterized. Teleost fish exhibit redundancy of Na+ uptake pathways at the gill level, performed by different ion transporter paralogs in diverse cell types, apparently enabling tolerance of low environmental salinity and various pH levels. We argue that much more research is needed on overall mechanisms of ion uptake from freshwater habitats, especially on NHA and other potential Wieczorek Exchangers. Such insights gained would contribute greatly to our general understanding of ionic regulation in diverse species across habitats.

Abstract
The geographical distribution of aquatic crustaceans is determined by ambient factors like salinity that modulate their biochemistry, physiology, behavior, reproduction, development and growth. We investigated the effects of exogenous pig FXYD2 peptide and endogenous protein kinases A and C on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, and characterized enzyme kinetic properties in a freshwater population of Macrobrachium amazonicum in fresh water (<0.5 ‰ salinity) or acclimated to 21 ‰S. Stimulation by FXYD2 peptide and inhibition by endogenous kinase phosphorylation are salinity-dependent. While without effect in shrimps in fresh water, the FXYD2 peptide stimulated activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps by ≈50 %. PKA-mediated phosphorylation inhibited gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity by 85 % in acclimated shrimps while PKC phosphorylation markedly inhibited enzyme activity in freshwater- and salinity-acclimated shrimps. The (Na+, K+)-ATPase in salinity-acclimated shrimp gills hydrolyzed ATP at a Vmax of 54.9 ± 1.8 nmol min-1 mg-1 protein, corresponding to ≈60 % that of freshwater shrimps. Mg2+ affinity increased with salinity acclimation while K+ affinity decreased. (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase activity increased while V(H+)- and Na+- or K+-stimulated activities decreased on salinity acclimation. The 120-kDa immunoreactive band expressed in salinity-acclimated shrimps suggests nonspecific α-subunit phosphorylation by PKA and/or PKC. These alterations in (Na+, K+)-ATPase kinetics in salinity-acclimated M. amazonicum may result from regulatory mechanisms mediated by phosphorylation via protein kinases A and C and the FXYD2 peptide rather than through the expression of a different α-subunit isoform. This is the first demonstration of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase regulation by protein kinases in freshwater shrimps during salinity challenge.

Abstract
Branchial chambers constitute the main osmoregulatory site in almost all decapod crustaceans. However, few studies have been devoted to elucidate the cellular function of specific cells in every osmoregulatory structure of the branchial chambers. In decapod crustaceans, it is well-known that the osmoregulatory function is localized in specific structures that progressively specialize from early developmental stages while specific molecular mechanisms occur. In this study, we found that although the structures developed progressively during the larval and postlarval stages, before reaching juvenile or adult morphology, the osmoregulatory capabilities of Litopenaeus vannamei were gradually established only during the development of branchiostegites and epipodites, but not gills. The cellular structures of the branchial chambers observed during the larval phase do not present the typical ultrastructure of ionocytes, neither Na+/K+-ATPase expression, likely indicating that pleura, branchiostegites, or bud gills do not participate in osmoregulation. During early postlarval stages, the lack of Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity of the ionocytes from the branchiostegites and epipodites suggests that they are immature ionocytes (ionocytes type I). It could be inferred from IIF and TEM results that epipodites and branchiostegites are involved in iono-osmoregulation from PL15, while gills and pleura do not participate in this function.

Abstract
Crustaceans inhabiting metal-contaminated freshwaters are susceptible to toxic insult to their osmoregulatory systems. The main osmoregulatory organs of decapod crustaceans, the gills, are continually bathed in freshwater and are therefore at risk from trace metal impacts. The effects of chronic (21 d) exposure to raised dissolved concentrations of Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb on aspects of hydromineral balance were investigated in Potamonautes warreni, a freshwater crab endemic to rivers in South Africa at potential risk from trace metal contamination from mining operations. Generally, hydromineral balance of P. warreni was tolerant to chronic metal exposures although sublethal cadmium exposure of 860 µg.l-1 for 21 days resulted in a reduced sodium concentration in the haemolymph. A chronic exposure to 43 µg.l-1 cadmium produced an elevated maximum unidirectional sodium uptake, possibly resulting from acclimation to the metal exposure. Branchial Na+/K+-ATPase and V-Type H+-ATPase activity were not affected by chronic in vivo Cd (43 µg.l-1) and Zn (500 µg.l-1) exposures. An important aspect of ameliorating metal toxicity may be through antioxidants and therefore the effects of applying a reducing agent were tested following in vitro metal treatment. Inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase could be prevented by pre-incubation with a reducing agent, indicating the importance of antioxidants in reducing metal toxicity in this species. Although this study demonstrates the physiological resilience of P. warreni to dissolved trace metal impacts, the energetic consequences of long-term exposure are as yet not known.

Abstract
Owing to their extraordinary niche diversity, the Crustacea are ideal for comprehending the evolution of osmoregulation. The processes that effect systemic hydro-electrolytic homeostasis maintain hemolymph ionic composition via membrane transporters located in highly specialized gill ionocytes. We evaluated physiological and molecular hyper- and hypo-osmoregulatory mechanisms in two phylogenetically distant, freshwater crustaceans, the crab Dilocarcinus pagei and the shrimp Macrobrachium jelskii, when osmotically challenged for up to 10 days. When in distilled water, D. pagei survived without mortality, hemolymph osmolality and [Cl-] increased briefly, stabilizing at initial values, while [Na+] decreased continually. Expression of gill V-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter genes was unchanged. In M. jelskii, hemolymph osmolality, [Cl-] and [Na+] decreased continually for 12 h, the shrimps surviving only around 15-24 h exposure. Gill transporter gene expression increased 2- to 5-fold. After 10 days exposure to brackish water (25‰S), D. pagei was isosmotic, iso-chloremic and iso-natriuremic. Gill V-ATPase expression decreased while Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter expression was unchanged. In M. jelskii (20‰S), hemolymph was hypo-regulated, particularly [Cl-]. Transporter expression initially increased 3- to 12-fold, declining to control values. Gill V-ATPase expression underlies the ability of D. pagei to survive in fresh water while V-ATPase, Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter expression enables M. jelskii to confront hyper/hypo-osmotic challenges. These findings reveal divergent responses in two unrelated crustaceans inhabiting a similar osmotic niche. While D. pagei does not secrete salt, tolerating elevated cellular isosmoticity, M. jelskii exhibits clear hypo-osmoregulatory ability. Each species has evolved distinct strategies at the transcriptional and systemic levels during its adaptation to fresh water.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is a proton pump driven by ATP hydrolysis, and it plays an important role in numerous biological processes, such as protein degradation and synthesis, cell growth, and cell autophagy. The V-ATPase subunit B (VATB) is a conservative and regulatory subunit required for ATP hydrolysis during proton pumping. The VATB of Eriocheirsinensis (EsVATB), which includes an open reading frame (ORF) length of 1467 bp encoding 489 amino acids, was cloned to unveil the biological function of VATB during the molting process of crustaceans. Spatial and temporal expression profiles showed that EsVATB was highly expressed in the posterior gill accompanied with the highest osmotic pressure in the premolt (PrM) stage. Meanwhile, the highest expression level of EsVATB was identified in the hepatopancreas and heart during the postmolt stage and epidermis in the intermolt stage, indicating that EsVATB may perform diverse biological functions in different tissues during the molting process. The individual crabs in the interference group showed a high mortality rate (74%) and a low molting rate (26%) and failed to form a new epicuticle in the PrM stage. Meanwhile, a significant difference in osmotic pressure was identified between the interference and control groups. Our results indicate that EsVATB is an indispensable functional gene that may participate in osmoregulation and help with the new epicuticle formation during the molting process of E. sinensis.

Abstract
Isopod hindgut consists of two anatomical and functional parts, the anterior chamber, and the papillate region. This study provides a detailed ultrastructural comparison of epithelial cells in the anterior chamber and the papillate region with focus on cuticle ultrastructure, apical and basal plasma membrane labyrinths, and cell junctions. Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the hindgut epithelial cells was demonstrated by cytochemical localisation. The main difference in cuticle ultrastructure is in the thickness of epicuticle which is almost as thick as the procuticle in the papillate region and only about one sixth of the thickness of procuticle in the anterior chamber. The apical plasma membrane in both hindgut regions forms an apical plasma membrane labyrinth of cytoplasmic strands and extracellular spaces. In the papillate region the membranous infoldings are deeper and the extracellular spaces are wider. The basal plasma membrane is extensively infolded and associated with numerous mitochondria in the papillate region, while it forms relatively scarce basal infoldings in the anterior chamber. The junctional complex in both hindgut regions consists of adherens and septate junctions. Septate junctions are more extensive in the papillate region. Na+/K+-ATPase was located mostly in the apical plasma membranes in both hindgut regions. The ultrastructural features of hindgut cuticle are discussed in comparison to exoskeletal cuticle and to cuticles of other arthropod transporting epithelia from the perspective of their mechanical properties and permeability. The morphology of apical and basal plasma membranes and localisation of Na+/K+-ATPase are compared with other arthropod-transporting epithelia according to different functions of the anterior chamber and the papillate region.

Abstract
Shrimps inhabiting the coastal water can survive in a wide range of salinity. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in their acclimation to different environmental salinities have remained largely unknown. In the present study, we acclimated kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus at 1.7 %, 3.4 % and 4.0 % salinities. After acclimating for 6, 12, 24 and 72 h, we determined free amino acid concentrations in their abdominal muscle, and performed RNA-seq analysis on this muscle. The concentrations of free amino acids were clearly altered depending on salinity after acclimating for 24 h. Glutamine and alanine concentrations were markedly increased following the increase of salinity. In association with such changes, many genes related to amino acid metabolism changed their expression levels. In particular, the increase of the expression level of the gene encoding glutamate-ammonia ligase which functions in the glutamine metabolism appeared to be relevant to the increased glutamine concentration at high salinity. Furthermore, the alanine concentration increased at high salinity was likely to be associated with the decrease in the expression levels of the alanine-glyoxylate transaminase gene. Thus, there is a possibility that changes in the concentration of free amino acids for osmoregulation in kuruma shrimp are regulated by changes in the expression levels of genes related to amino acid metabolism.

We carried out a comparative molecular analysis of these genes in three commercially important yet eco-physiologically distinct freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, C. destructor and C. cainii, with the aim to identify mutations in these genes and determine if observed patterns of mutations were consistent with the action of natural selection. We also conducted a tissue-specific expression analysis of these genes across seven different organs, including gills, hepatopancreas, heart, kidney, liver, nerve and testes using NGS transcriptome data. The molecular analysis of the candidate genes revealed a high level of sequence conservation across the three Cherax sp. Hyphy analysis revealed that all candidate genes showed patterns of molecular variation consistent with neutral evolution. The tissue-specific expression analysis showed that 46% of candidate genes were expressed in all tissue types examined, while approximately 10% of candidate genes were only expressed in a single tissue type. The largest number of genes was observed in nerve (84%) and gills (78%) and the lowest in testes (66%). The tissue-specific expression analysis also revealed that most of the master genes regulating pH and osmoregulation (CA, NKA, HAT, NKCC, NBC, NHE) were expressed in all tissue types indicating an important physiological role for these genes outside of osmoregulation in other tissue types. The high level of sequence conservation observed in the candidate genes may be explained by the important role of these genes as well as potentially having a number of other basic physiological functions in different tissue types.

Abstract
In order to better understand the variable sensitivities of crustaceans to metals, we investigated the impact of cadmium exposure in 3 populations of Gammarus fossarum from different rivers of France. The first population lives in a Cd-contaminated river from a geochemical background, while the others inhabit Cd-free sites. Osmoregulation, a relevant biomarker to evaluate crustacean health following metal contamination, was used as a proxy to evaluate the intra- and inter-populationnal sensitivities to Cd. Specimens from each population were experimentally exposed to 9 μg Cd2+/L Cd for 7 days and hemolymph osmolality (HO) was then individually measured. In exposed populations, high inter-individual variations in HO values were noted, resulting in their separation into non-impacted and slightly or highly Cd-impacted (with lower HO) animals. In gills of impacted organisms, deep histopathological alterations and protein overexpression of Na+/K+-ATPase and V-H+-ATPase were observed through histology and immunolocalization, while non-impacted animals showed profiles comparable to controls. Moreover, the osmoregulatory processes in the population living in the Cd-contaminated site were impacted by acute Cd exposure in the laboratory as much as for one of the two populations originating from Cd-free sites. The observed changes did not reveal any obvious adaptive osmoregulatory phenomena at the population scale, but they may be due to differences in fitness between individuals and between populations in relation to the features of their respective environments, unrelated with the presence of the metal.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA), Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) and Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (HAT) play vital roles in osmoregulation and pH balance in decapod crustaceans. As variable pH levels have a significant impact on the physiology of crustaceans, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms by which an animal maintains its internal pH. We examined expression patterns of cytoplasmic (CAc) and membrane-associated form (CAg) of CA, NKA α subunit and HAT subunit a in gills of freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, at three pH levels – 6.2, 7.2 (control) and 8.2 – over 24 h. Expression levels of CAc were significantly increased at low pH and decreased at high pH conditions 24 h after transfer. Expression increased at low pH after 12 h, and reached its maximum level by 24 h. CAg showed a significant increase in expression at 6 h after transfer at low pH. Expression of NKA significantly increased at 6 h after transfer to pH 6.2 and remained elevated for up to 24 h. Expression for HAT and NKA showed similar patterns, where expression significantly increased 6 h after transfer to low pH and remained significantly elevated throughout the experiment. Overall, CAc, CAg, NKA and HAT gene expression is induced at low pH conditions in freshwater crayfish.

Abstract
The copepod Eurytemora affinis has an unusually broad salinity range, as some populations have recently invaded freshwater habitats independently from their ancestral saline habitats. Prior studies have shown evolutionary shifts in ion transporter activity during freshwater invasions and localization of ion transporters in newly discovered "Crusalis organs" in the swimming legs. The goals of this study were to localize and quantify expression of ion transport enzymes V-type H(+)-ATPase (VHA) and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) in the swimming legs of E. affinis and determine the degree of involvement of each leg in ionic regulation. We confirmed the presence of two distinct types of ionocytes in the Crusalis organs. Both cell types expressed VHA and NKA, and in the freshwater population the location of VHA and NKA in ionocytes was, respectively, apical and basal. Quantification of in situ expression of NKA and VHA established the predominance of swimming leg pairs 3 and 4 in ion transport in both saline and freshwater populations. Increases in VHA expression in swimming legs 3 and 4 of the freshwater population (in fresh water) relative to the saline population (at 15 PSU) arose from an increase in the abundance of VHA per cell rather than an increase in the number of ionocytes. This result suggests a simple mechanism for increasing ion uptake in fresh water. In contrast, the decline in NKA expression in the freshwater population arose from a decrease in ionocyte area in legs 4, likely resulting from decreases in number or size of ionocytes containing NKA. Such results provide insights into mechanisms of ionic regulation for this species, with added insights into evolutionary mechanisms underlying physiological adaptation during habitat invasions.

Abstract
The role of the main ion transporting enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase in osmoregulation processes was investigated in Litopenaeus stylirostris. The development and localization of the osmoregulation sites were studied during ontogenesis by immunodetection of Na(+)K(+)-ATPase using monoclonal antibodies and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Osmoregulation sites were identified as the pleurae and branchiostegites in the zoeae and mysis stages. In the subsequent post-metamorphic stages the osmoregulatory function was mainly located in the epipodites and branchiostegites and osmotic regulation was later detected in the gills. The presence of ionocytes and microvilli in these tissues confirmed their role in ionic processes. The complete open reading frame of the mRNA coding for the α-subunit of Na+K+-ATPase was characterized in L. stylirostris. The resulting 3092-bp cDNA (LsNKA) encodes a putative 1011-amino-acid protein with a predicted molecular mass of 112.3kDa. The inferred amino acid sequence revealed that the putative protein possesses the main structural characteristics of the Na+K+-ATPase α-subunits. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses indicated that LsNKA transcripts did not significantly vary between the different developmental stages. The number of transcripts was about 2.5-fold higher in the epipodites and gills than in any other tissues tested in juveniles. A reverse genetic approach was finally implemented to study the role of LsNKA in vivo. Knockdown of LsNKA expression by gene-specific dsRNA injection led to an increase of shrimp mortality following an abrupt salinity change compared to control animals. These data strongly suggest that LsNKA plays an important role in osmoregulation when the shrimp are challenged by changing salinities.

Abstract
The euryhaline shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus exemplifies an evolutionary transition from brackish to freshwater habitats that requires adequate osmoregulatory capacities. Hyperosmoregulation is functional at hatching and it likely begins during the embryonic phase allowing this species to develop entirely in fresh water. Here, we investigated the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase α-subunit gene (nka-α) expression using quantitative real-time PCR and localized Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) in ion-transporting epithelia through immunofluorescence microscopy. We reared shrimps from spawning to juvenile stages at two salinities (1, 15 ‰) and maintained adults for 3 weeks at three salinity treatments (1, 15, 25 ‰). nka-α gene expression was measured in: (1) embryos at an early (SI), intermediate (SII) and late (SIII) stage of embryonic development; (2) newly hatched larvae (Zoea I, ZI); and (3) isolated gill tissue of adults. The nka-α expression was low in SI and SII embryos and reached maximum levels prior to hatching (SIII), which were similar to expression levels detected in the ZI. The nka-α expression in SIII and ZI was highest at 15 ‰, whereas salinity did not affect expression in earlier embryos. In SIII, in ZI and in a later zoeal stage ZIV, NKA was localized in epithelial cells of pleurae, in the inner-side epithelium of branchiostegite and in the antennal glands. Gills appeared in the ZIV but NKA immunolabeling of the cells of the gill shaft occurred in a subsequent developmental larval stage, the decapodid. Extrabranchial organs constitute the main site of osmoregulation in early ontogenetic stages of this freshwater shrimp.

Abstract
We characterize the kinetic properties of a gill (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase from the pelagic marine seabob Xiphopenaeus kroyeri. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed membrane fractions distributed mainly into a heavy fraction showing considerable (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity, but also containing mitochondrial F0F1- and Na(+)- and V-ATPases. Western blot analysis identified a single immunoreactive band against the (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase α-subunit with an Mr of ≈ 110 kDa. The α-subunit was immunolocalized to the intralamellar septum of the gill lamellae. The (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase hydrolyzed ATP obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics with VM = 109.5 ± 3.2 nmol Pi min(-1) mg(-1) and KM = 0.03 ± 0.003 mmol L(-1). Mg(2+) (VM = 109.8 ± 2.1 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 0.60 ± 0.03 mmol L(-1)), Na(+) (VM = 117.6 ± 3.5 nmol Pi min(-1 ) mg(-1), K0.5 = 5.36 ± 0.14 mmol L(-1)), K(+) (VM = 112.9 ± 1.4 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 1.32 ± 0.08 mmol L(-1)), and NH4 (+) (VM = 200.8 ± 7.1 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 2.70 ± 0.04 mmol L(-1)) stimulated (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity following site-site interactions. K(+) plus NH4 (+) does not synergistically stimulate (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity, although each ion modulates affinity of the other. The enzyme exhibits a single site for K(+) binding that can be occupied by NH4 (+), stimulating the enzyme. Ouabain (KI = 84.0 ± 2.1 µmol L(-1)) and orthovanadate (KI = 0.157 ± 0.001 µmol L(-1)) inhibited total ATPase activity by ≈ 50 and ≈ 44 %, respectively. Ouabain inhibition increases ≈ 80 % in the presence of NH4 (+) with a threefold lower KI, suggesting that NH4 (+) is likely transported as a K(+) congener.
