Hormonal Peptide Evolution

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology of Primitive Fishes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 103))

Abstract

Hormonal function is made possible for a naturally-circulating peptide by the existence in given cells (target cells) of receptors for this molecule. Receptors for peptides are generally located on the cell membrane; they are probably peptidic structures which specifically bind the hormone. The receptors then undergo changes which, in turn, induce modifications of cell activity. In the course of evolution, such situations may have arisen when a “fit” occurred between adequate secretory proteins and cell regulatory membrane proteins. Then this primitive hormonal function evolved further, by changes at the level of both the hormone and the receptor, reflecting changes in the structure and expression of the genome. Precise description and understanding of these events are quite difficult for several reasons. The main obstacle to the rebuilding of this past history is that only the study of endocrinology of presently living animals is within reach. In order to surmount this difficulty, one tries to infer the properties and the succession of ancestors by considering today’s animals in order of their evolutionary appearance (e.g. lampreys, then teleosts, amphibians and finally mammals). This is indeed a very suspect approach because modern animals are generally quite different from their corresponding primitive ancestors. “Old” taxa, like lampreys, have undergone a long evolution, and they may exhibit recent or young characters which should not be mistaken for ancestral characters. Another difficulty lies in the scatter of the experimental data in view of the number of species and hormones to be considered.

The expression “hormonal peptide” will be used in a broad sense. We will consider here polypeptides, proteins, glycoproteins as well as small peptides. Also, it will be seen that comparative studies make very indistinct the boundary between hormones and paracrine substances acting locally, such as neurotransmitters.
