Role of tyramine in calcium dynamics of GABAergic neurons and escape behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans
- Biology, PsychologyZoological Letters
- 2018
It is demonstrated that endogenous tyramine downregulates calcium levels in GABAergic RME motor neurons in the head via the tyraminergic receptor SER-2 during backward locomotion and omega turns.
Ancient coexistence of norepinephrine, tyramine, and octopamine signaling in bilaterians
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2016
It is established that norepinephrine, octopamine, and tyramine receptors coexist in some marine invertebrates and that studies of marine animals where all three transmitter systems coexist will be needed for a better understanding of the origin and ancestral functions of these transmitters.

FMRFamide neuropeptides and acetylcholine synergistically inhibit egg-laying by C. elegans
- BiologyNature Neuroscience

It is shown that the egg laying–defective mutant egl-6(n592) carries an activating mutation in a G protein–coupled receptor that inhibits C. elegans egg-laying motor neurons in a Go-dependent manner.

Differential dominance of an allele of the Drosophila tßh gene challenges standard genetic techniques
- Biology
- 2018
The analysis suggests that the different neuronal networks responsible for the three phenotypes show differential sensitivity to tßh gene expression levels, and the evidence suggests that this sensitivity is brought about by a TA/OA opponent system modulating the involved neuronal circuits.
Co-option of neurotransmitter signaling for inter-organismal communication in C. elegans
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2018
It is shown that TYRA-2, an endogenous tyramine/octopamine receptor, is required for the chemosensation of an octopamine-derived pheromone and that this signaling system represents an inter-organismal communication channel that evolved via co-option of a neurotransmitter and its cognate receptor.
Mass spectrometric evidence for neuropeptide-amidating enzymes in Caenorhabditis elegans
- Biology, ChemistryThe Journal of Biological Chemistry

The key steps in neuropeptide processing in C. elegans seem to be executed by redundant enzymes, and loss of these enzymes severely affects brood size, supporting the need of amidated peptides for C. nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reproduction.

Two cDNAs are isolated, ser‐2 andser‐2a, encoding putative C.elegans serotonin/OA receptors, and tyramine reduces forskolin‐stimulated cAMP levels in HEK293 cells stably expressing SER‐2 with an IC50 of about 360 nm, suggesting that SER‐1 is a tyamine receptor.

The molecular cloning of the Drosophila melanogaster gene, which encodes tyramine β-hydroxylase (TBH), the enzyme that catalyzes the last step in octopamine biosynthesis, is reported, and the deduced amino acid sequence of the encoded protein exhibits 39% identity to the evolutionarily related mammalian dopamine β-Hydroxylases enzyme.

The egg retention phenotype of the dTdc2 mutant and the phenotypes associated with ectopic dTDC expression contribute to a model in which octopamine and tyramine have distinct and separable neural activities.

Receptor-encoding mRNA has a wide-spread distribution in the brain and subesophageal ganglion of the honeybee, suggesting that this tyramine receptor is involved in sensory signal processing as well as in higher-order brain functions.

Staining of hermaphrodite animals from different larval stages suggests that the onset of FMRFamide‐like expression is differentially regulated among the cells, and a possible neuromodulatory role for the related peptide FLRFamide is found.
