  • Mass Spectrometry Imaging Reveals New Biological Roles for Choline
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mass spectrometry imaging reveals new biological roles for choline esters and Tyrian purple precursors Received: 17 March 2015 Accepted: 27 July 2015 in muricid molluscs Published: 01 September 2015 David Rudd1, Maurizio Ronci2,3, Martin R. Johnston4, Taryn Guinan2, Nicolas H. Voelcker2 & Kirsten Benkendorff5 Despite significant advances in chemical ecology, the biodistribution, temporal changes and ecological function of most marine secondary metabolites remain unknown. One such example is the association between choline esters and Tyrian purple precursors in muricid molluscs. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) on nano-structured surfaces has emerged as a sophisticated platform for spatial analysis of low molecular mass metabolites in heterogeneous tissues, ideal for low abundant secondary metabolites. Here we applied desorption-ionisation on porous silicon (DIOS) to examine in situ changes in biodistribution over the reproductive cycle. DIOS-MSI showed muscle-relaxing choline ester murexine to co-localise with tyrindoxyl sulfate in the biosynthetic hypobranchial glands. But during egg-laying, murexine was transferred to the capsule gland, and then to the egg capsules, where chemical ripening resulted in Tyrian purple formation. Murexine was found to tranquilise the larvae and may relax the reproductive tract. This study shows that DIOS-MSI is a powerful tool that can provide new insights into marine chemo-ecology. Secondary metabolites are known to chemically mediate intra- and interspecies interactions between organisms1. In molluscs, secondary metabolites have been detected and identified during mate attraction2, defence3,4, predatory behaviour5, anti-fouling6,7 and reproduction8. The importance of understanding the mechanisms behind these chemical interactions within a species cannot be underestimated, particularly when specific secondary metabolites impart a competitive advantage.

J. Brook* A total of 358 species of molluscs (excluding pelagic species) is recorded here from coastal marine habitats around the northern Kermadec Islands. The fauna is dominated by species that are widely distributed in the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean. The majority of these are restricted to the tropics and subtropics, but some range south to temperate latitudes. Sixty-eight species, comprising 19% of the fauna, are thought to be endemic to the Kermadec Islands. That group includes several species that have an in situ fossil record extending back to the Pleistocene.

Box 1390, San Diego, California 92112 INTRODUCTION In November of 1946, S. Stillman Berry began the private publication of his LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY which he instituted to facilitate the "publication and dissemination. .. of new mollusks of special interest under study" primarily by him. LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY continued for twenty- three years concluding with Volume 1, Number 26 in December 1969. During these years, Dr. Berry described 99 marine molluscan species, renamed one species, and named 19 new genera in the "LEAFLETS." However, only two of the species were figured and few of the types have been illus- trated since. It is the purpose of this paper to figure all of the types of the species named by Dr. Berry in the "LEAFLETS," with the exception of the eight species of Octopus. This project would not have been possible without the efforts of Leroy and Forrest Poorman who saw the need to illustrate Dr.

The stem group from which the Latrogastropoda originated lived during or shortly before Aptian/Albian time (100–125 Ma). Several groups of Latrogastropoda that lived at the time of deposition of the Campanian to Maastrichtian (65–83 Ma) Ripley Formation have no recognized living counterparts. These Late Cretaceous species include the Sarganoidea, with the families Sarganidae, Weeksiidae and Moreidae, which have a rounded and low protoconch with a large embryonic whorl.
