Abstract
The phylum Arthropoda contains the largest number of described living animal species, with insects and crustaceans dominating the terrestrial and aquatic environments, respectively. Their successful radiations have long been linked to their rigid exoskeleton in conjunction with their specialized endocrine systems. In order to understand how hormones can contribute to the evolution of these animals, here, we have categorized the sesquiterpenoid and ecdysteroid pathway genes in the noninsect arthropod genomes, which are known to play important roles in the regulation of molting and metamorphosis in insects. In our analyses, the majority of gene homologs involved in the biosynthetic, degradative, and signaling pathways of sesquiterpenoids and ecdysteroids can be identified, implying these two hormonal systems were present in the last common ancestor of arthropods. Moreover, we found that the “Broad-Complex” was specifically gained in the Pancrustacea, and the innovation of juvenile hormone (JH) in the insect linage correlates with the gain of the JH epoxidase (CYP15A1/C1) and the key residue changes in the binding domain of JH receptor (“Methoprene-tolerant”). Furthermore, the gain of “Phantom” differentiates chelicerates from the other arthropods in using ponasterone A rather than 20-hydroxyecdysone as molting hormone. This study establishes a comprehensive framework for interpreting the evolution of these vital hormonal pathways in these most successful animals, the arthropods, for the first time.

Identification of putative ecdysteroid and juvenile hormone pathway genes in the shrimp Neocaridina denticulata. Gen Comp Endocrinol 2015; 214:167-76.

Abstract
Although the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone (JH) and the steroidal ecdysteroids are of vital importance to the development and reproduction of insects, our understanding of the evolution of these crucial hormonal regulators in other arthropods is limited. To better understand arthropod hormone evolution and regulation, here we describe the hormonal pathway genes (e.g. those involved in hormone biosynthesis, degradation, regulation and signal transduction) of a new decapod model, the shrimp Neocaridina denticulata. The majority of known insect sesquiterpenoid and ecdysteroid pathway genes and their regulators are contained in the N. denticulata genome. In the sesquiterpenoid pathway, these include biosynthetic pathway components: juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase (JHAMT); hormone binding protein: juvenile hormone binding protein (JHBP); and degradation pathway components: juvenile hormone esterase (JHE), juvenile hormone esterase binding protein (JHEBP) and juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH), with the JHBP, JHEBP and JHEH genes being discovered in a crustacean for the first time here. Ecdysteroid biosynthetic pathway genes identified include spook, phantom, disembodied, shadow and CYP18. Potential hormonal regulators and signal transducers such as allatostatins (ASTs), Methoprene-tolerant (Met), Retinoid X receptor (RXR), Ecdysone receptor (EcR), calponin-like protein Chd64, FK509-binding protein (FKBP39), Broad-complex (Br-c), and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone/molt-inhibiting hormone/gonad-inhibiting hormone (CHH/MIH/GIH) genes are all present in the shrimp N. denticulata. To our knowledge, this is the first report of these hormonal pathways and their regulatory genes together in a single decapod, providing a vital resource for further research into development, reproduction, endocrinology and evolution of crustaceans, and arthropods in general.

Abstract
Farnesoic acid (FA) and methyl farnesoate (MF) are juvenile hormone-related compounds secreted by the mandibular organ (MO) of crustaceans and play an important role in stimulation of ovarian maturation. To better understand how the MO activity influences female reproduction by secretion of FA and MF, the biosynthesis and release of these two compounds were measured in vitro by the incorporation of l-[(3)H-methyl]methionine into MF and [2-(14)C]acetate into FA by the MO of Homarus americanus. The production of FA is 7.5 times that of MF, and most FA and MF synthesized remained within the gland, and was not released into the surrounding medium. Most FA and MF were synthesized in the anterior fan-fold region of the MO. The rates of biosynthesis of FA and MF were stage-related, with maximal production occurring during secondary vitellogenesis (i.e. stages 4 and 5). A potential juvenoid receptor, retinoid X receptor (RXR), HaRXR, was characterized using PCR cloning techniques. HaRXR belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and its deduced amino acid sequence shares a high homology to other RXRs of crustaceans, insects, and vertebrates. Transcripts of HaRXR can be detected in many tissues, and significant high expression level was detected in the MO, especially in the anterior fan-fold region. Expression of HaRXR was also related to reproductive stage, and maximal level of expression was observed at stage 4, in which secondary vitellogenesis is occurring. Changes in transcript level of HaRXR and the rates of FA/MF biosynthesis in the female reproductive cycle indicate that HaRXR and FA/MF may play important roles in crustacean reproduction.

Abstract
Current evidence indicates that methyl farnesoate is the crustacean equivalent of the juvenile hormones of insects. This putative hormone is produced by the mandibular organs and is negatively regulated by a neuropeptide produced and secreted by the X-organ-sinus gland complex of the eyestalk. To identify this neuropeptide, a bioassay was developed which measures the inhibition of methyl farnesoate synthesis by mandibular organs exposed to fractionated sinus gland extracts from the crab, Cancer pagurus. Two neuropeptides, named mandibular organ-inhibiting hormones (MOIH-1 and -2) repressed methyl farnesoate synthesis. MOIH-1 was fully sequenced by automated Edman degradation of endoproteinase-derived fragments and further characterized by mass spectrometry. This peptide consisted of 78 residues (Mr 9235.6), with unblocked termini and three intrachain disulfide bridges. MOIH-2 appeared to be almost identical to MOIH-1 with the exception of a Gln for Lys substitution at position 33. Comparison with previously sequenced crustacean neuropeptides shows that these MOIHs are members of the ever expanding crustacean hyperglycemic hormone family, with significant sequence similarity to molt-inhibiting hormones (MIHs). It is possible that these two structurally similar peptides (MIH, MOIH) may control mutually exclusive physiological phenomena (somatic and gonadal growth), suggesting a complex hormonal integration of these processes in crustaceans.
