| Abstract: | In vertebrates, most circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is bound to multiple forms of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) that differ both structurally and functionally. In mammals, the largest reservoir of IGF in the circulation comes from a large (150kDa) ternary complex comprised of IGF bound to IGFBP-3, which is bound to an acid label subunit (ALS), and this variant of IGFBP is regulated by growth hormone (GH) and feed intake. Although multiple variants of IGFBPs ranging from 20 to 50 kDa have been found in fishes, no ternary complex is present and it has been assumed that the majority of circulating IGF is bound to fish IGFBP-3. Consistent with this assumption is previous work in salmon showing the presence of a 41-kDa IGFBP that is stimulated by GH, decreases with fasting and increases with feeding. However, the hypothesis that the salmon 41-kDa IGFBP is structurally homologous to mammalian IGFBP-3 has not been directly tested. To address this issue, we cloned cDNAs for several Chinook salmon IGFBPs, and found that the cDNA sequence of the 41-kDa IGFBP is most similar to that of mammalian IGFBP-2 and dissimilar to IGFBP-3. We found an additional IGFBP (termed IGFBP-2a) with high homology to mammalian IGFBP-2. These results demonstrate that salmon 41-kDa IGFBP is not IGFBP-3, but a paralog of IGFBP-2 (termed IGFBP-2b). Salmon IGFBP-2s are also unique in terms of having potential N-glycosylation sites and splice variants. Additional research on non-mammalian IGFBPs is needed to fully understand the molecular/functional evolution of the IGFBP family and the significance of the ternary complex in vertebrates. |
