Abstract
We present the complete sequence of the nuclear-encoded small-ribosomal-subunit RNA inferred from the cloned gene sequence of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans. The dinoflagellate 17S rRNA sequence of 1798 nucleotides is contained in a family of 200 tandemly repeated genes per haploid genome. A tentative model of the secondary structure of P. micans 17S rRNA is presented. This sequence is compared with the small-ribosomal-subunit rRNA of Xenopus laevis (Animalia), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Fungi), Zea mays (Planta), Dictyostelium discoideum (Protoctista), and Halobacterium volcanii (Monera). Although the secondary structure of the dinoflagellate 17S rRNA presents most of the eukaryotic characteristics, it contains sufficient archaeobacterial-like structural features to reinforce the view that dinoflagellates branch off very early from the eukaryotic lineage.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) not only works as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system, but also as a morphogenetic factor during early embryogenesis. In Drosophila, a previous report showed that embryos that lack the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor locus, display abnormal gastrulation movements. In this work, we screened for point mutations in the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor gene. We identified one point mutation that generates a gain of serotonin affinity for the receptor and affects germband extension: 5-HT(2Dro) (C1644). Embryos homozygous for this point mutation display a fourfold increase in the maximal speed of ectodermal cell movements during the rapid phase of germband extension. Homozygous 5-HT(2Dro) (C1644) embryos present a cuticular phenotype, including a total lack of denticle belt. Identification of this gain of function mutation shows the participation of serotonin in the regulation of the cell speed movements during the germband extension and suggests a role of serotonin in the regulation of cuticular formation during early embryogenesis.

Abstract
A correlation between high plasma serotonin levels and total pulmonary resistance was reported in more than 80% of pulmonary hypertensive patients. When submitted to chronic hypoxia (10% O(2) for more than 3 weeks), wild-type mice develop lung vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension. We previously reported that, in contrast, the development of these hypoxia-dependent alterations is totally abolished in mice with permanent (genetic) or transient (pharmacologic) inactivation of the serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(2B) receptor. In the present study, we asked whether 5-HT(2B) receptors could be involved in the control of plasma serotonin levels. Further investigating the chronic hypoxic mouse model of pulmonary hypertension, we first show that in wild-type mice, plasma serotonin levels and 5-HT(2B) receptors expression were significantly increased after chronic exposure to hypoxia. This increase appeared before significant changes in remodeling factors could be detected and persisted when the pathology was established. Conversely, in mice with either genetically or pharmacologically inactive 5-HT(2B) receptors, plasma serotonin levels were not modified by chronic hypoxia. We then confirmed that 5-HT(2B) receptors can control plasma serotonin levels by providing in vivo evidence that an acute agonist stimulation of 5-HT(2B) receptor triggers a transient increase in plasma serotonin that is serotonin transporter dependent and blocked by 5-HT(2B) receptor-selective antagonist or genetic ablation. Our data support the notion that a 5-HT(2B) receptor-dependent regulation of serotonin uptake is implicated in the control of plasma serotonin levels.

Abstract
1. The pharmaceutical compound, dihydroergotamine (DHE) is dispensed to prevent and reduce the occurrence of migraine attacks. Although still controversial, the prophylactic effect of this drug is believed to be caused through blockade and/or activation of numerous receptors including serotonin (5-HT) receptors of the 5-HT2 subtype. 2. To elucidate if 5-HT2 receptors (5-HT2Rs) may be involved in DHE prophylactic effect, we performed investigations aimed to determine the respective pharmacological profile of DHE and of its major metabolite 8'-hydroxy-DHE (8'-OH-DHE) at the 5-HT2B and 5-HT2CRs by binding, inositol triphosphate (IP3) or cyclic GMP (cGMP) coupling studies in transfected fibroblasts. 3. DHE and 8'-OH-DHE are competitive compounds at 5-HT2B and 5-HT2CRs. 8'-OH-DHE interaction at (5-HT2BRs) was best fitted by a biphasic competition curve and displayed the highest affinity with a Ki of 5 nm. These two compounds acted as agonists for both receptors in respect to cGMP production with pEC50 of 8.32+/-0.09 for 8'-OH-DHE at 5-HT2B and 7.83+/-0.06 at 5-HT2CRs. 4. Knowing that the antimigraine prophylactic effect of DHE is only observed after long-term treatment, we chronically exposed the recombinant cells to DHE and 8'-OH-DHE. The number of 5-HT2BR-binding sites was always more affected than 5-HT2CRs. At 5-HT2BRs, 8'-OH-DHE was more effective than DHE, with an uncoupling that persisted for more than 40 h for IP3 or cGMP. By contrast, the 5-HT2CR coupling was reversible after either treatment. 5. Chronic exposure to 8'-OH-DHE caused a persistent agonist-mediated desensitisation of 5-HT2B, but not 5-HT2CRs. This may be of relevance to therapeutic actions of the compound.

Abstract
Primary pulmonary hypertension is a progressive and often fatal disorder in humans that results from an increase in pulmonary blood pressure associated with abnormal vascular proliferation. Dexfenfluramine increases the risk of pulmonary hypertension in humans, and its active metabolite is a selective serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B (5-HT(2B)) receptor agonist. Thus, we investigated the contribution of the 5-HT(2B)receptor to the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. Using the chronic-hypoxic-mouse model of pulmonary hypertension, we found that the hypoxia-dependent increase in pulmonary blood pressure and lung remodeling are associated with an increase in vascular proliferation, elastase activity and transforming growth factor-beta levels, and that these parameters are potentiated by dexfenfluramine treatment. In contrast, hypoxic mice with genetically or pharmacologically inactive 5-HT(2B)receptors manifested no change in any of these parameters. In both humans and mice, pulmonary hypertension is associated with a substantial increase in 5-HT(2B) receptor expression in pulmonary arteries. These data show that activation of 5-HT(2B) receptors is a limiting step in the development of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
The human Burkitt lymphoma cell line Daudi does not synthesize beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) and lacks the cell surface histocompatibility antigens. The cells, however, contain RNA hybridizing to a cloned human beta2m cDNA probe. cDNA from this Daudi beta2m RNA, was cloned and sequenced. By comparison with cDNA prepared from Ramos cells, which synthesized microglobulin, we determined the sequence of the 20 amino acid long leader peptide of pre-beta2m and show that in Daudi cells the initiator ATG has been mutated to ATC. Although Daudi beta2m RNA cannot be translated, interferon induces the beta2m RNA in Daudi cells as well as in normal human cells.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease is a major cause of disability and morbidity, often initiated by both environmental components and genetic susceptibility. Identification of factors controlling myocardial differentiation and proliferation is of great importance for understanding the pathogenesis of congenital heart diseases. Several lines of evidence suggest that serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] regulates cardiovascular functions during embryogenesis and adulthood. However, the molecular mechanism by which 5-HT regulates embryonic development of heart and cardiovascular functions remained unknown until recently. Inactivation of the 5-HT(2B) receptor (5-HT(2B)R) gene leads to embryonic and neonatal death due to the following defects in the heart: (a) 5-HT(2B)R mutant embryos exhibit a lack of trabeculae in the heart and a reduction in the expression levels of a tyrosine kinase receptor, called ErbB-2, leading to mid-gestation lethality. These in vivo data suggest that the Gq-coupled 5-HT(2B)R uses the signaling pathway of the tyrosine kinase receptor ErbB-2 for cardiac differentiation. (b) Newborn 5-HT(2B)R mutant mice exhibit cardiac dilation resulting from contractility deficits and structural deficits at the intercellular junctions between cardiomyocytes. (c) In adult 5-HT(2B)R mutant mice, echocardiography and electrocardiography confirm the presence of left ventricular dilation and decreased systolic function. These results constitute the first genetic evidence that 5-HT via the 5-HT(2B)R, regulates differentiation and proliferation during development as well as cardiac structure and function in adults.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) binds to numerous cognate receptors to initiate its biological effects. In this review, we have focused on the 5-HT2B receptor to address how signaling and expression of this receptor is specifically implicated in embryonic development and adult health and disease. Transduction of the 5-HT2B signaling is complex, including phospholipase C and A2 stimulation, cGMP production and a mitogenic signal that integrates the tyrosine kinase-signaling pathway. Furthermore, 5-HT, through the 5-HT2B receptors, has the ability to control serotonergic differentiation of committed neuron-like cells. In addition, 5-HT2B receptors are actively involved in the transient action of 5-HT during embryonic morphogenesis. Our recent data presented the first genetic evidence that 5-HT via 5-HT2B receptors regulates cardiac embryonic development and adult functions and suggested that this receptor subtype may be involved in other physiopathological situations. In particular, 5-HT-dependent molecular mechanisms may be involved in embryonic development and postnatal maturation of the enteric nervous system. Also, the involvement of the 5-HT2B receptor in the vascular growth often observed in hypertension is likely. These probably result from reactivation of developmentally regulated receptors in pathological situations. Finally, embryonic functions of 5-HT2 receptors observed in Drosophila gastrulation suggest evolutionary conserved mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of factors regulating myocardial structure and function is important to understand the pathogenesis of heart disease. Because little is known about the molecular mechanism of cardiac functions triggered by serotonin, the link between downstream signaling circuitry of its receptors and the heart physiology is of widespread interest. None of the serotonin receptor (5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B), or 5-HT(2C)) disruptions in mice have resulted in cardiovascular defects. In this study, we examined 5-HT(2B) receptor-mutant mice to assess the putative role of serotonin in heart structure and function. METHODS AND RESULTS We have generated G(q)-coupled 5-HT(2B) receptor-null mice by homologous recombination. Surviving 5-HT(2B) receptor-mutant mice exhibit cardiomyopathy with a loss of ventricular mass due to a reduction in number and size of cardiomyocytes. This phenotype is intrinsic to cardiac myocytes. 5-HT(2B) receptor-mutant ventricles exhibit dilation and abnormal organization of contractile elements, including Z-stripe enlargement and N-cadherin downregulation. Echocardiography and ECG both confirm the presence of left ventricular dilatation and decreased systolic function in the adult 5-HT(2B) receptor-mutant mice. CONCLUSIONS Mutation of 5-HT(2B) receptor leads to a cardiomyopathy without hypertrophy and a disruption of intercalated disks. 5-HT(2B) receptor is required for cytoskeleton assembly to membrane structures by its regulation of N-cadherin expression. These results constitute, for the first time, strong genetic evidence that serotonin, via the 5-HT(2B) receptor, regulates cardiac structure and function.

Several lines of evidence suggest that the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) regulates cardiovascular functions during embryogenesis and adulthood. 5-HT binds to numerous cognate receptors to initiate its biological effects. However, none of the 5-HT receptor disruptions in mice have yet resulted in embryonic defects. Here we show that 5-HT(2B) receptor is an important regulator of cardiac development. We found that inactivation of 5-HT(2B) gene leads to embryonic and neonatal death caused by heart defects. 5-HT(2B) mutant embryos exhibit a lack of trabeculae in the heart and a specific reduction in the expression levels of a tyrosine kinase receptor, ErbB-2, leading to midgestation lethality. These in vivo data suggest that the Gq-coupled receptor 5-HT(2B) uses the signaling pathway of tyrosine kinase receptor ErbB-2 for cardiac differentiation. All surviving newborn mice display a severe ventricular hypoplasia caused by impaired proliferative capacity of myocytes. In adult mutant mice, cardiac histopathological changes including myocyte disarray and ventricular dilation were consistently observed. Our results constitute genetic evidence that 5-HT via 5-HT(2B) receptor regulates differentiation and proliferation of developing and adult heart. This mutation provides a genetic model for cardiopathy and should facilitate studies of both the pathogenesis and therapy of cardiac disorders in humans.

Abstract
Taking advantage of three cellular systems, we established that 5-HT(2B) receptors are coupled with NO signaling pathways. In the 1C11 serotonergic cell line and Mastomys natalensis carcinoid cells, which naturally express the 5-HT(2B) receptor, as well as in transfected LMTK(-) fibroblasts, stimulation of the 5-HT(2B) receptor triggers intracellular cGMP production through dual activation of constitutive nitric-oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS). The group I PDZ motif at the C terminus of the 5-HT(2B) receptor is required for recruitment of the cNOS and iNOS transduction pathways. Indeed, the 5-HT(2B) receptor-mediated NO coupling is abolished not only upon introduction of a competitor C-terminal 5-HT(2B) peptide in the three cell types but also in LMTK(-) fibroblasts expressing a receptor C-terminally truncated or harboring a point mutation within the PDZ domain. The occurrence of a direct functional coupling between the receptor and cNOS activity is supported by highly significant correlations between the binding constants of drugs on the receptor and their effects on cNOS activity. The 5-HT(2B)/iNOS coupling mechanisms appear more complex because neutralization of endogenous Galpha(13) by specific antibodies cancels the cellular iNOS response while not interfering with cNOS activities. These findings may shed light on physiological links between the 5-HT(2B) receptor and NO and constitute the first demonstration that PDZ interactions participate in downstream transductional pathways of a G protein-coupled receptor.

Abstract
In this paper, we present evidence that activation of 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B (5-HT2B) receptors by serotonin (5-HT) leads to cell-cycle progression through retinoblastoma protein hyperphosphorylation and through activation of both cyclin D1/cdk4 and cyclin E/cdk2 kinases by a mechanism that depends on induction of cyclin D1 and cyclin E protein levels. The induction of cyclin D1 expression, but not that of cyclin E, is under mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) control, indicating an independent regulation of these two cyclins in the 5-HT2B receptor mitogenesis. Moreover, by using the specific platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) inhibitor AG 1296 or by overexpressing a kinase-mutant PDGFR, we show that PDGFR kinase activity is essential for 5-HT2B-triggered MAPK/cyclin D1, but not cyclin E, signaling pathways. 5-HT2B receptor activation also increases activity of the Src family kinase, c-Src, Fyn, and c-Yes. Strikingly, c-Src, but not Fyn or c-Yes, is the crucial molecule between the G(q) protein-coupled 5-HT2B receptor and the cell-cycle regulators. Inhibition of c-Src activity by 4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP1) or depletion of c-Src is sufficient to abolish the 5-HT-induced (i) PDGFR tyrosine kinase phosphorylation and MAPK activation, (ii) cyclin D1 and cyclin E expression levels, and (iii) thymidine incorporation. This paper elucidates a model of 5-HT2B receptor mitogenesis in which c-Src acts alone to control cyclin E induction and in concert with the receptor tyrosine kinase PDGFR to induce cyclin D1 expression via the MAPK/ERK pathway.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that 5-HT promotes the differentiation of enteric neurons by stimulating a developmentally regulated receptor expressed by crest-derived neuronal progenitors. 5-HT and the 5-HT(2) agonist (+/-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine(.)HCl (DOI) enhanced in vitro differentiation of enteric neurons, both in dissociated cultures of mixed cells and in cultures of crest-derived cells isolated from the gut by immunoselection with antibodies to p75(NTR). The promotion of in vitro neuronal differentiation by 5-HT and DOI was blocked by the 5-HT(1/2) antagonist methysergide, the pan-5-HT(2) antagonist ritanserin, and the 5-HT(2B/2C)-selective antagonist SB206553. The 5-HT(2A)-selective antagonist ketanserin did not completely block the developmental effects of 5-HT. 5-HT induced the nuclear translocation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. This effect was blocked by ritanserin. mRNA encoding 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B) receptors was detected in the fetal bowel (stomach and small and large intestine), but that encoding the 5-HT(2C) receptor was not. mRNA encoding the 5-HT(2B) receptor and 5-HT(2B) immunoreactivity were found to be abundant in primordial [embryonic day 15 (E15)-E16] but not in mature myenteric ganglia. 5-HT(2B)-immunoreactive cells were found to be a subset of cells that expressed the neuronal marker PGP9.5. These data demonstrate for the first time that the 5-HT(2B) receptor is expressed in the small intestine as well as the stomach and that it is expressed by enteric neurons as well as by muscle. It is possible that by stimulating 5-HT(2B) receptors, 5-HT affects the fate of the large subset of enteric neurons that arises after the development of endogenous sources of 5-HT.

Abstract
In the accompanying paper, we report that Drosophila gastrulae genetically depleted for the 5-HT(2Dro) serotonin receptor or for serotonin show abnormal germband extension. In wild-type gastrulae, peaks of both the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor and serotonin coincide precisely with the onset of germband extension. Here, we assessed the genetic requirement for this peak of serotonin. We report the characterisation of the serotonin content of individual Drosophila embryos, progeny from flies heterozygous for mutations in genes that are involved in the serotonin synthesis pathway and include the GTP-cyclohydrolase, tryptophan hydroxylase and DOPA decarboxylase loci. The peak of serotonin synthesis at the beginning of germband extension appears strictly dependent upon the maternal deposition of biopterins, products of GTP-cyclohydrolase and cofactors of tryptophan hydroxylase and upon the zygotic synthesis of both tryptophan hydroxylase and DOPA decarboxylase enzymes. Mutant embryos with an impairment in this peak of serotonin synthesis die with a cuticular organisation which is also observed in embryos deficient for the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor. This characteristic cuticular phenotype is thus the hallmark of desynchronisation of the morphogenetic movements during gastrulation. Together, these findings provide additional support for the notion that serotonin, acting through the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor, is necessary for proper gastrulation.

Abstract
During Drosophila gastrulation, convergent extension of the ectoderm is required for germband extension. Adhesive heterogeneity within ectodermal cells has been proposed to trigger the intercalation of cells responsible for this movement. Segmentation genes would impose this heterogeneity by establishing a pair-rule pattern of cell adhesion properties. We previously reported that the serotonin receptor (5-ht(2Dro)) is expressed in the presumptive ectoderm with a pair-rule pattern. Here, we show that the peaks of 5-ht(2Dro) expression and serotonin synthesis coincide precisely with the onset of convergent extension of the ectoderm. Gastrulae genetically depleted of serotonin or the 5-ht(2Dro) receptor do not extend their germband properly, and the ectodermal movements becomes asynchronous with the morphogenetic movements in the endoderm and mesoderm. Associated with the beginning of this desynchronisation, is an altered subcellular localisation of adherens junctions within the ectoderm. Combined, these data highlight the role of the ectoderm in Drosophila gastrulation and support the notion that serotonin signalling through the 5-HT(2Dro) receptor triggers changes in cell adhesiveness that are necessary for cell intercalation.

Abstract
5-HT2B receptors, in addition to phospholipase C stimulation, are able to trigger activation of the proto-oncogene product p21ras. During mouse embryogenesis, a peak of 5-HT2B receptor expression is detected at the neurulation stage; we localized the 5-HT2B expression in neural crest cells, heart myocardium, and somites. The requirement for functional 5-HT2B receptors shortly after gastrulation, is supported by culture of embryos exposed to 5-HT2B-high affinity antagonist such as ritanserin, which induces morphological defects in the cephalic region, heart and neural tube. Functional 5-HT2B receptors are also expressed during the serotonergic differentiation of the mouse F9 teratocarcinoma-derived clonal cell line 1C11. Upon 2 days of induction by cAMP, 5-HT2B receptors become functional, and on day 4, the appearance of 5-HT2A receptors coincides with the onset of active serotonin transporter by these cells. Active serotonin uptake is modulated by serotonin suggesting autoreceptor functions for 5-HT2B receptors.

Abstract
The cloning and pharmacological characterization of mouse 5-HT1D receptors as well as the comparative analysis of its embryonic expression vs that of 5-HT1B receptors are reported. High densities of both 5-HT1D receptors mRNA and specific 5-HT1D binding sites were detected at 8, 9.5, 10.5 and 13.5 days of prenatal development. In contrast, no specific 5-HT1B binding sites could be detected until 13.5 days of development, when they were present at lower levels than 5-HT1D receptors. This differs markedly from the situation in the adult brain, in which 5-HT1B receptors are present at a much higher density than the 5-HT1D subtype. These data suggest the involvement of 5-HT1D receptors in the mitogenic and proliferative effects of serotonin during early embryonic development.

Abstract
During embryogenesis, serotonin has been reported to be involved in craniofacial and cardiovascular morphogenesis. The detailed molecular mechanisms underlying these functions, however remain unknown. From mouse and human species, we have recently reported the cloning of 5-HT2B receptors which share signal transduction pathways with other 5-HT2 receptor subtypes (5-HT2A and 5-HT2C). In addition to phospholipase C stimulation, it appears that these three subtypes of receptor transduce a common serotonin-induced mitogenic activity, which could be important for cell differentiation and proliferation. We have first investigated the expression of 5-HT2 receptor mRNAs in the mouse embryo. Interestingly, a peak of 5-HT2B receptor mRNA expression was detected 8–9 days postcoitum, whereas there was only low level 5-HT2A and no 5-HT2C receptor mRNA expression at this stage. Expression of this receptor was confirmed by binding assays using a 5-HT2-specific ligand which revealed a peak of binding to membrane preparations from 9 days postcoitum embryos. In addition, whole mount in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry on similar stage embryos detected 5-HT2B expression in neural crest cells, heart myocardium and somites. The requirement for functional 5-HT2B receptors between 8 and 9 days postcoitum is supported by culture of embryos exposed to 5-HT2-specific ligands; 5-HT2B high-affinity antagonist such as ritanserin, induced morphological defects in the cephalic region, heart and neural tube. These antagonistic treatments interfere with cranial neural crest cell migration, induce their apoptosis, and are responsible for abnormal sarcomeric organisation of the subepicardial layer and for the absence of the trabecular cell layer in the ventricular myocardium. This report indicates for the first time that 5-HT2B receptors are actively mediating the action of serotonin on embryonic morphogenesis, probably by preventing the differentiation of cranial neural crest cells and myocardial precursor cells.

Abstract
We recently reported the cloning of a new member of the serotonin 5-HT2 family, the 5-HT2B receptor. We now report the production and characterisation of a specific antiserum directed against the C-terminal portion of the mouse 5-HT2B receptor. After affinity purification, this polyclonal antibody recognises specifically the mouse 5-HT2B receptor. Immunohistochemical analysis of cryosections from various adult mouse tissues reveals a major 5-HT2B receptor expression in stomach, intestine and pulmonary smooth muscles as well as in myocardium. Furthermore, the antiserum recognises specific areas of the mouse brain, including cerebellar Purkinje cells and their projection areas.

Abstract
1. The murine 1C11 clone, which derives from a multipotential embryonal carcinoma cell line, has the features of a neuroectodermal precursor. When cultured in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP, the 1C11 cells extend bipolar extensions and express neurone-associated markers. After 4 days, the resulting cells have acquired the ability to synthesize, take up, store and catabolize 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). We have thus investigated the presence of 5-HT receptors during the 5-hydroxytryptaminergic differentiation of this inducible 1C11 cell line. 2. As shown by the binding of [125I]-GTI and the CGS 12066-dependent inhibition of the forskolin-induced cyclic AMP production, functional 5-HT1B/1D receptors become expressed on day 2 of 1C11 cell differentiation. The density of these receptors remained unchanged until day 4. 3. The same holds true for the 5-HT2B receptor, also identified by its pharmacological profile and its positive coupling to the phosphoinositide cascade. 4. On day 4 of 1C11 cell differentiation, a third 5-HT receptor, pharmacologically and functionally similar to 5-HT2A, had become induced. 5. Strikingly, the amounts of each transcript encoding 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptor did not very significantly during the time course of the 1C11 5-hydroxytryptaminergic differentiation. 6. The clone 1C11 may thus provide a useful in vitro model for studying regulation(s) between multiple G-linked receptors as well as the possible role of 5-HT upon the expression of a complete 5-hydroxytryptamine phenotype.

Abstract
The family of serotonin 5-HT2 receptors stimulates the phospholipase C second messenger pathway via the alpha subunit of the Gq GTP-binding protein. Here, we show that agonist stimulation of the 5-HT2B receptor subtype stably expressed in the mouse fibroblast LMTK- cell line causes a rapid and transient activation of the proto-oncogene product p21ras as measured by an increase in GTP-bound Ras in response to serotonin. Furthermore, 5-HT2B receptor stimulation activates p42mapk/p44mapk (ERK2/ERK1) mitogen-activated protein kinases as assayed by phosphorylation of myelin basic protein. Antibodies against p21ras, Galphaq, -beta, or -gamma2 subunits of the GTP-binding protein inhibit MAP kinase-dependent phosphorylation. The MAP kinase activation is correlated with a stimulation of cell division by serotonin. In addition to this mitogenic action, transforming activity of serotonin is mediated by the 5-HT2B receptor since its expression in LMTK- cells is absolutely required for foci formation and for these foci to form tumors in nude mice. Finally, we detected expression of the 5-HT2B receptor in spontaneous human and Mastomys natalensis carcinoid tumors and, similar to the 5-HT2B receptor transfected cells, the Mastomys tumor cells are also responsive to serotonin with similar coupling to p21ras activation.

Abstract
The recently characterized 5-HT2B subfamily of serotonin receptors has now been reported from three different species: human, rat and mouse. Their genomic structures include 2 introns present at identical positions. Despite this similarity, their respective protein sequences show some diversities. In addition, the pharmacology of these receptors is distantly related, and their sites of expression vary amongst species. Thus, it appears difficult at present to unambiguously classify these receptors into the same subfamily, raising the possibility of the existence of other 5-HT2B-like receptors, yet to be discovered.

Abstract
Serotonin, first described as a neurotransmitter in invertebrates, has been investigated mostly for its functions in the mature central nervous system of higher vertebrates. Serotonin receptor diversity has been described in the mammalian brain and in insects. We report the isolation of a cDNA coding for a Drosophila melanogaster serotonin receptor that displays a sequence, a gene organization, and pharmacological properties typical of the mammalian 5-HT2 serotonin receptor subtype. Its mRNA can be detected in the adult fly; moreover, a high level of expression occurs at 3 hr of Drosophila embryogenesis. This early embryonic expression is surprisingly organized in a seven-stripe pattern that appears at the cellular blastoderm stage. In addition, this pattern is in phase with that of the even-parasegment-expressed pair-rule gene fushi-tarazu and is similarly modified by mutations affecting segmentation genes. Simultaneously with this pair-rule expression, the complete machinery of serotonin synthesis is present and leads to a peak of ligand concomitant with a peak of 5-HT2-specific receptor sites in blastoderm embryos.

Abstract
Neuropeptide function in the peripheral and central nervous systems has been described in mammals as well as in insects. We previously reported the cloning of the neuropeptide receptor NKD, a Drosophila melanogaster homologue of the mammalian tachykinin receptors. This receptor is expressed during Drosophila embryonic development and in the adult fly. Use of the NKD promoter region to drive beta-galactosidase expression in transgenic flies reveals a bipartite promoter organisation: the distal region controls NKD expression in neurosecretory cells of the central nervous system during late embryogenesis, whereas the proximal region is responsible for transient expression in peripheral nervous system during late embryogenesis, whereas the proximal region is responsible for transient expression in peripheral nervous system precursor cells early in development. This early NKD expression, first restricted to the sensory organ precursor cell, an atonal positive cell, is abolished in the ato1 mutant. In addition, we show that the proneural protein atonal, in association with daughterless, transactivates the NKD promoter in Schneider S2 cells via the proximal E box NKDE2. Furthermore, heterodimers of atonal and daughterless interact with this E box in gel shift assay.

Abstract
Among immortalized teratocarcinoma-derived cells, the clone 1C11 is a committed precursor of the neuronal lineage. On day 2 of its serotoninergic differentiation, this clone expresses only one subtype of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] receptor, which is functionally coupled to phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. The identity of these receptors was established by comparing their properties with those of 5-HT2B receptors expressed by LMTK- fibroblasts stably transfected with the recently cloned murine cDNA NP75 (LM5 cells). In both cell types, the analysis of (+/-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-[125I]iodophenyl)- 2-aminopropane HCl ([125I]DOI) binding revealed the presence of a single class of sites, the affinity of which was 1 order of magnitude lower than that reported for 5-HT2A receptors. In 1C11 cells differentiated for 2 days, as well as in LM5 cells, DOI binding was decreased by nonhydrolyzable analogs of GTP, indicating that the 5-HT2B receptor is functionally coupled to a G protein. The DOI-induced increase of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which was correlated with both GTPase activity and binding data, is mediated by a Gq protein. This work demonstrates that the 5-HT2B receptor is functionally expressed before complete serotoninergic differentiation of 1C11 cells. The inducible 1C11 clone thus provides an in vitro model to investigate the possible role of the 5-HT2B receptor in the expression of the serotoninergic phenotype.

Abstract
The human serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, isolated from a human liver cDNA library, was transfected in COS-1 cells. Its pharmacological profile shows divergence with serotonin 5-HT2B receptors of other species. In particular, although strong correlation is observed between the human and the rat 5-HT2B receptor pharmacology, the correlation is almost as significant for the mouse 5-HT2B and the human 5-HT1D receptor agonists. The major sites of expression of its mRNA are in the human liver and kidney, with detectable expression in lung and heart. Therefore, this human 5-HT2B receptor could account for functions attributed to the peripheral 5-HT1D/5-HT2-like receptors, especially in the cardiovascular system. Thus, its detailed original pharmacology is of prime importance for therapeutic drug development.

Abstract
Since its discovery, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine = 5-HT) has become a major player on the neurotransmitter "stage". Multiple receptor subtypes for 5-HT have been identified and classified, and a vast pharmacology of 5-HT has emerged. In particular, 5-HT has been shown to exert marked effects on the cardiovascular system, central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and important ligands have been developed that mimic or block its action selectively. Furthermore, drugs that release 5-HT, and others that prevent its uptake, have been developed. This brief review focuses on the pharmacology of 5-HT agonists and antagonists that exhibit, at least partly, clinical relevance.

Abstract
The novel serotonin receptor 5-HT2B shows the highest homology to the 5-HT2 family of receptors. The pharmacological profile of membranes from 5-HT2B cDNA stably transfected LMTK- cell line, corresponds to a new 5-HT2-like receptor named 5-HT2B, although some difference exists between the mouse and rat pharmacology. A similar pharmacological profile is detected on the immortalized teratocarcinoma-derived cell line 1C11 upon 2 days of serotoninergic differenciation by cAMP. In both cell lines, the analysis 125I-DOI binding reveals the presence of a single class of sites, the affinity of which is one order of magnitude lower than the one reported for the 5-HT2A receptor. This demonstrates that the 5-HT2B receptor is functionally expressed before the complete serotoninergic differentiation of 1C11 cells. These observations are in good agreement with the presence of 5-HT2B mRNA in early mouse embryonic development. Furthermore, the major sites of 5-HT2B mRNA embryonic expression are in the heart, and in the neural fold before the closure of the neural tube. Therefore, this receptor could account at least in part for the trophic functions attributed to the 5-HT2-like receptors.

Abstract
A novel member of the family of G protein-coupled receptors has been isolated from a mouse brain cDNA library by screening with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) generated fragment of mouse genomic DNA amplified using degenerated primers. Sequence comparison demonstrates that the encoded protein sequence shows the highest homology to the 5-HT2 family of receptors. The pharmacological profile of membranes from COS cells transfected with this cDNA, corresponds to a new 5-HT2-like receptor that we propose to call 5-HT2C. Its major sites of expression are in the mouse intestine and heart, also with detectable expression in brain and kidney. We speculate that it could account at least in part for the 'atypical' functions attributed to the 5-HT1C/5-HT2 receptors.

Abstract
Serotonin is a neuromodulator that mediates a wide range of effects by interacting with multiple receptors. Using a strategy based on nucleotide sequence homology between genes encoding receptors that interact with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, we have isolated a mouse gene encoding an additional serotonin receptor. When expressed in cultured cells, it displayed the pharmacological profile and coupling with adenylate cyclase characteristic of the 5HT1B receptor subtype. In NIH 3T3 cells expressing this receptor, serotonin induced a decrease in forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels. This effect was blocked by pertussis toxin, indicating that the 5HT1B receptor interacts with a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein. To obtain clues as to the possible function of the 5HT1B receptor, we have analyzed its pattern of expression in the adult mouse brain by in situ hybridization. Our results, together with previous autoradiographic studies, suggest that the 5HT1B receptors are localized presynaptically on the terminals of striatal neurons and Purkinje cells and that they might modulate the release of neurotransmitters such as gamma-aminobutyric acid. The predominant expression of the 5HT1B receptor in the striatum and cerebellum points to an involvement of this receptor in motor control.

Abstract
A number of neuropeptides have been described which are present in the insect nervous system. The physiological role of these neuropeptides has not yet been clarified. We have characterized a Drosophila melanogaster cDNA coding for a protein, NKD, whose sequence resembles that of mammalian G protein-coupled neuropeptide receptors. This protein shows 38% homology with the mammalian tachykinin NK3 receptor within the transmembrane domain region. Stable cell lines expressing this cDNA are responsive to Locusta migratoria tachykinin but not to other peptides of the tachykinin family. The expression of this gene is detected principally in adult fly heads, but also in the adult body and in embryos. Interestingly, NKD mRNA is detected at very early stages of Drosophila embryonic development (3 h) and reaches the highest level of expression at 12-16 h, a time which correlates with the period of major neuronal development. In situ hybridization experiments demonstrate that NKD is expressed in the central nervous system, as well as in subsets of neurons in each segment of the developing ventral ganglia. The cytological localization of this gene is at position 86C on the Drosophila third chromosome.

Abstract
The synuclein cDNA was previously cloned from Torpedo califonica using an antiserum against purified synaptic vesicles. Here we show that this gene hybridizes to several clones in a rat brain cDNA library. These clones represent cDNAs coding for different proteins, thus determining a family. These proteins display similar organization to the Torpedo protein. The homology resides within the repetition of 7 amino acids. The diversity is generated by alternative splicing as suggested by Southern analysis, as well as by sequence analysis. These proteins are specifically expressed in the rat brain. In situ hybridization shows expression of synuclein mRNAs in discrete areas of the brain, the hippocampus is the most intensely stained area. This localization is reminiscent of those molecules involved in phosphoinositols second messenger pathways. Synuclein proteins are present in rat brain in dual form--a small form which is soluble and a large form which is associated with synaptosomal membranes in a regulated fashion.

Abstract
We have identified and characterized the cDNAs corresponding to the mouse D2 dopamine receptors. We show that in the mouse the D2 dopamine receptor is found in two forms, generated by alternative splicing of the same gene, mRNA distribution analysis of areas expressing the D2 receptors shows that the larger form is the most abundant, except in the brain stem where the shorter form is predominant. Membranes of mammalian cells transiently transfected with both forms of D2 receptor bind [3H]spiperone with a high affinity.

Abstract
Using a strategy based on nucleotide sequence homology between genes encoding receptors that interact with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, we have isolated Drosophila genomic and cDNA clones encoding a functional serotonin receptor (5HT-dro receptor). This protein is expressed predominantly in Drosophila heads and exhibits highest homology with the human 5HT1A receptor. The predicted structure of the 5HT-dro receptor reveals two unusual features: (i) eight putative transmembrane domains instead of the expected seven and (ii) a Gly-Ser repeat that is a potential glycosaminoglycan attachment site. When stably introduced into mouse NIH 3T3 cells, the 5HT-dro receptor activates adenylate cyclase in response to serotonin and is inhibited by serotonin receptor antagonists such as dihydroergocryptine. The 5HT-dro receptor or closely related receptors might be responsible for the serotonin-sensitive cyclase that has been suggested to play a role in learning and modulation of circadian rhythm in a number of invertebrate systems.

Abstract
The sequence of the large subunit ribosomal RNA (LsuRNA) gene of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans has been determined. The inferred rRNA sequence [3408 nucleotides (nt)] is presented in its most probable secondary structure based on compensatory mutations, energy, and conservation criteria. No introns have been found but a hidden break is present in the second variable domain, 690 nt from the 5' end, as judged by agarose gel electrophoresis and primer extension experiments. Prorocentrum micans LsuRNA length and G+C content are close to those of ciliates and yeast. The conserved portions of the molecule (1900 nt) have been aligned with corresponding sequences from various eukaryotes, including five protista, one metaphyta, and three metazoa. An extensive phylogenetic study was performed, comparing two phenetic methods (neighbor joining on difference matrix, and Fitch and Margoliash on Knuc values matrix) and one cladistic (parsimony). The three methods led to similar tree topologies, except for the emergence of yeast that groups with ciliates and dinoflagellates when phenetic methods are used, but emerges later in the most parsimonious tree. This discrepancy was checked by statistical analyses on reduced trees (limited to four species) inferred using parsimony and evolutionary parsimony methods. The data support the phenetic tree topologies and a close relationship between dinoflagellates, ciliates, and yeast.

Abstract
We used an antiserum against purified cholinergic synaptic vesicles from Torpedo and expression screening to isolate a cDNA clone encoding synuclein, a 143 amino acid neuron-specific protein. A cDNA clone was also isolated from a rat brain cDNA library that encodes a highly homologous 140 amino acid protein. The amino terminal 100 amino acids of both proteins are comprised of an 11 amino acid repeating unit that contains a conserved core of 6 residues. The synuclein gene is expressed only in nervous system tissue, not in electric organ, muscle, liver, spleen, heart, or kidney. In the electric organ synapse Torpedo synuclein-immunoreactive proteins are found in 3 major molecular-weight classes of 17.5, 18.5, and 20.0 kDa. In the neuronal cell soma the 17.5 kDa species is predominant and immunoreactivity is localized to a portion of the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
Priming human fibroblasts with low levels (100 units/ml) of homologous interferon (IFN) prior to induction of gene expression with poly(rI.rC) results in the accumulation of 5-10-fold higher levels of IFN-beta 1 mRNA when compared to induced but nonprimed cells. By run-on transcription assay we have determined that this increase results mainly from increased transcription rate of the IFN-beta 1 gene. We have also shown that priming leads to elevated cytoplasmic steady state levels of two additional RNA species which initiate at the major IFN-beta 1 mRNA initiation site and extend beyond the polyadenylation site for the IFN-beta 1 0.9-kilobase mRNA. Located next to the 3' end of the IFN-beta 1 gene we have also identified a novel poly(rI.rC)-induced gene which like the IFN-beta 1 gene is highly activated in cells primed with IFN prior to poly(rI.rC) induction. However, the expression of another poly(rI.rC)-induced gene located on a different chromosome is only slightly affected by the priming procedure used here. We postulate that IFN priming acts specifically on certain genes rather than by a general potentiation of poly(rI.rC) induction.

Abstract
An interferon-alpha-like sequence was isolated from a human genomic library by hybridization with a 15-base oligonucleotide. The sequence also showed homology to alpha-interferon and was most closely related to the leukocyte interferon-M gene fragment. The original isolate cross-hybridized to a family of sequences, 10 of which were isolated as clones. Some of these sequences were located within a few kilobases of alpha-interferon genes, consistent with our assignment of several members of the family to human chromosome 9 which also has the beta 1- and alpha-interferon genes.

Abstract
The 5.8 S rRNA gene of Prorocentrum micans, a primitive dinoflagellate, has been cloned and its 159 base pairs (bp) have been sequenced along with the two flanking internal transcribed spacers (ITS 1 and 2), respectively, 212 and 195 bp long. Nucleotide sequence homologies between several previously published 5.8 S rRNA gene sequences including those from another dinoflagellate, an ascomycetous yeast, protozoans, a higher plant and a mammal have been determined by sequence alignment. Two prokaryotic 5'-ends of the 23 S rRNA gene have been compared owing to their probable common origin with eucaryotic 5.8 S rRNA genes. Several nucleotides are distinctive for dinoflagellates when compared with either typical eucaryotes or procaryotes. This is consistent with an early divergence of the dinoflagellate lineage from the typical eucaryotes. The secondary structure of dinoflagellate 5.8 S rRNA molecules fits the model of Walker et al. (1983). Conserved nucleotides which distinguish dinoflagellate 5.8 S rRNA from that of other eucaryotes are located in specific loops which are assumed to play a structural role in the ribosome. A 5.8 S rRNA phylogenetic tree which is proposed, based on sequence data, supports our initial assumption of the dinoflagellates.

Abstract
Mouse cells transformed by a bovine papillomavirus recombinant vector containing the human interferon (IFN) beta 1 (IFN-beta 1) gene could be induced to produce human as well as mouse IFNs. The optimal conditions for induction of human IFN and of its mRNA in these transformants resembled those needed for mouse IFN: high concentrations of DEAE-dextran and low concentrations of polyriboinosinic acid-polyribocytidylic acid. Superinduction by inhibitors of protein synthesis which strongly stimulate IFN-beta 1 induction in human cells had only a small effect on human IFN induction in bovine papillomavirus IFN-beta 1-transformed mouse cells. In contrast, cycloheximide without double-stranded RNA could induce significant levels of human IFN in the bovine papillomavirus IFN-beta 1 mouse transformants. After cycloheximide treatment, these cells contained IFN-beta 1 mRNA whose 5' ends originated in the authentic start site of the human IFN-beta 1 gene, as shown by S1 nuclease mapping. The transferred human gene, propagated extrachromosomally in the mouse cells, was, therefore, inducible under conditions different from those in human cells. The results also confirmed that the inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide, can induce expression of a human IFN gene.
