Abstract

Kiss

GPR54

Kisspeptin

puberty

We have cloned and analysed the partial putative promoter sequences of the Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi ) Kiss2 and Kiss2r genes (380 and 420 bp, respectively). We obtained in silico 1.5 kb of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) Kiss1, Kiss2, Kiss1r and zfKiss2r sequences upstream of the putative transcriptional initiation site. Bioinformatic analysis revealed promoter regulatory elements including AP-1, Sp1, GR, ER, PR, AR, GATA-1, TTF-1, YY1 and C/EBP. These regulatory elements may mediate novel roles of the Kiss genes and their receptors in addition to their established role in reproductive function.
