Partial purification, tissue distribution and modulatory activity of a crustacean cholecystokinin-like peptide

Reversed-phase chromatography was used to separate several forms of cholecystokinin-like peptides (CCKLP) from the pericardial organs (PCOs) of the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus. Fast protein liquid chromatography of PCOs, stomatogastric ganglia (STGs) and eyestalks revealed five peaks of CCKLP (peaks A-E) that were common to all three tissues, as well as two additional peaks (peaks F and G) in the STG. Peaks A-E were present in the hemolymph of fed, but not starved, lobsters. The bioactivity of peaks A-E was tested on the gastric mill rhythm of the isolated STG. Only peak E elicited activity. The effects of peak E included activating the gastric mill rhythm in quiescent preparations and strengthening existing rhythms in a dose-dependent manner. Further purification of peak E by high performance liquid chromatography resolved this peak into two immunoreactive peaks, one of which retained its bioactivity. The effects of peak E were blocked by the CCK antagonist proglumide. These results are consistent with a role for peak E in the feeding-induced activation of the gastric mill.
