FLP-21

CELE_C26F1.10, C26F1.10
flp-21 encodes a single FMRFamide-related neuropeptide (FaRP) that serves as a ligand for NPR-1, a G protein-coupled receptor that regulates social versus solitary feeding behavior in several Caenorhabditis species; genetic analysis suggests that FLP-21 acts through NPR-1 to inhibit social feeding behavior; FLP-21 is expressed in the ADL, ASE and ASH sensory neurons, the URA motor neurons, the MC, M2 and M4 pharyngeal neurons, and the intestine; flp-21 encodes the only FMRFamide-related neuropeptide (FaRP) encoded by the C. elegans genome that activates both the social (215F) and the solitary (215V) forms of NPR-1 in both Xenopus oocytes and pharyngeal assays.

NPR-1

CELE_C39E6.6, bor-1, C39E6.6
npr-1 encodes a predicted G protein-coupled neuropeptide receptor that is homologous to the mammalian neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor (OMIM:162641) required for regulating anxiety, food consumption, and pain sensation; in C. elegans, NPR-1 is involved in ethological variations of social behavior such as social versus solitary feeding; in regulating social behavior, NPR-1 functions as a receptor for the FLP-18 and FLP-21 peptide ligands; NPR-1 also affects some aspect of UNC-6/netrin-mediated branching of motor neurons, as strong npr-1 mutations can suppress abnormal migration of ventral nerve cord neurons induced by overexpression of UNC-6 lacking domain C; NPR-1 is expressed predominantly in the nervous system, and particularly in the AQR, PQR, and URX neurons that are exposed to the body fluid.

Biochemical Activity

An interaction is inferred from the biochemical effect of one protein upon another, for example, GTP-GDP exchange activity or phosphorylation of a substrate by a kinase. The bait protein executes the activity on the substrate hit protein. A Modification value is recorded for interactions of this type with the possible values Phosphorylation, Ubiquitination, Sumoylation, Dephosphorylation, Methylation, Prenylation, Acetylation, Deubiquitination, Proteolytic Processing, Glucosylation, Nedd(Rub1)ylation, Deacetylation, No Modification, Demethylation.

Inhibition of Caenorhabditis elegans social feeding by FMRFamide-related peptide activation of NPR-1.

Rogers C, Reale V, Kim K, Chatwin H, Li C, Evans P, de Bono M

Social and solitary feeding in natural Caenorhabditis elegans isolates are associated with two alleles of the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) NPR-1: social feeders contain NPR-1 215F, whereas solitary feeders contain NPR-1 215V. Here we identify FMRFamide-related neuropeptides (FaRPs) encoded by the flp-18 and flp-21 genes as NPR-1 ligands and show that these peptides can differentially activate the NPR-1 215F and ...
