Despite its functional significance in mammals and birds, the biological role of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) in reproduction is still far from being fully understood in teleosts. In the current study, we have identified LPXRFa, the piscine ortholog of GnIH, and its cognate receptor (LPXRFa-R) in yellowtail kingfish (YTK), which is considered as a promising species for aquaculture industry worldwide. The YTK cDNA sequence of lpxrfa was 534 base pair (bp) in length and encoded a 178-amino acids (aa) preprohormone. The LPXRFa precursor comprised three putative peptide sequences that included -MPMRF, -MPQRF, or -LPERL motifs at the C-termini, respectively. The YTK lpxrfa-r cDNA sequence was composed of 1265 bp that gave rise to a LPXRFa-R of 420 aa, encompassing the characteristic seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains. In males, both lpxrfa and lpxrfa-r transcripts could be detected at high levels in the brain and testis. In females, a noteworthy expression of lpxrfa was observed in the brain and ovary, while the expression of lpxrfa-r was especially evident only in the brain. To study the ontogeny of LPXRFa system, transcript levels were also investigated during early life stages. Variable expression of the LPXRFa system was observed during all stages of YTK embryogenesis. The highest expression of lpxrfa and lpxrfa-r were noticed at 7 dph and 15 dph, respectively. Furthermore, LPXRFa peptides stimulated growth hormone (gh), luteinizing hormone (lhß) and follicle-stimulating hormone (fshß) gene expression from the pituitary. Taken together, our results provide initial evidence for the existence of the LPXRFa system in yellowtail kingfish and suggest its possible involvement at early development and reproductive functions.
