Abstract
Bilaterian photoreceptor cells are characterized by the expression of opsins, signal transduction genes, and ion channels, which together facilitate behavioral responses to light. We have previously identified a ciliary opsin gene from the brachiopod Terebratalia transversa, whose expression in gastrula stage embryos coincides with a photoresponse behavior, suggesting the presence of a functional phototransduction system in these early embryos. To further evaluate the potential for light reception in these embryos we surveyed transcriptome data to identify phototransduction genes and evaluated their expression. In addition to the previously described ciliary opsin gene, we have identified two Go-class opsins that are also expressed in gastrula stage embryos. Representative members from all classes of Gα-protein genes were also expressed, with a Gα12-class gene being localized in the same anterior ectodermal domain as the opsin transcripts. Both CNG-class and TRP-class ion channels were expressed in the gastrula stage embryos, as were GRK and arrestin genes, which are associated with inhibition of rhodopsin activity. Taken together these data support the presence of a functional phototransduction system in the early brachiopod embryo.
