Three trypsin isoforms A, B and C were purified to homogeneity from the viscera of sardinelle (Sardinella aurita). Purification was achieved by ammonium sulfate precipitation (20–70% (w/v)), Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and Mono Q-Sepharose anion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weights of these purified enzymes were estimated to be 28.8 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE). Based on the native PAGE and casein-zymography, each purified trypsin appeared as a single band. Trypsins A and C exhibited the maximal activity at 55°C, while trypsin B at 50°C. All isoforms showed the same optimal pH (pH 9.0) using Nα-benzoyl-dl-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) as a substrate. The three trypsins were stable at temperatures below 40°C and over a broad pH range (7.0–11.0). The activities of the three isoforms were strongly inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, a serine protease inhibitor, and partially inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a metalloenzyme inhibitor. Kinetic constants of trypsins A, B and C for BAPNA were evaluated at 25°C and pH 9.0. The values of K m and k cat were 0.125, 0.083 and 0.10 mM, and 2.24, 1.21 and 5.76 s−1, respectively. The N-terminal sequences of the first 10 amino acids were “I V G G Y E C Q K Y” for trypsin A and “I V G G Y E A Q S Y” for trypsins B and C. These sequences showed highly homology to other fish trypsins.  相似文献

Trypsin from the viscera of Bogue (Boops boops) was purified to homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and Mono Q-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography, with an 8.5-fold increase in specific activity and 36% recovery. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 23 kDa by SDS–PAGE and size exclusion chromatography. The purified trypsin appeared as a single band on native-PAGE and zymography staining. The purified enzyme showed esterase-specific activity on N-α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and amidase activity on N-α-benzoyl-dl-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA). The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity, after 10 min incubation, were pH 9.0 and 55°C, respectively, using BAPNA as a substrate. The trypsin kinetic constants K m and k cat on BAPNA were 0.13 mM and 1.56 s−1, respectively, while the catalytic efficiency k cat /K m was 12 s−1 mM−1. Biochemical characterisation of B. boops trypsin showed that this enzyme can be used as a possible biotechnological tool in the fish processing and food industries.  相似文献

Little is known about the survival rate of wild masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou. To examine the effects of smolt length and migration timing on the recovery rate of wild masu salmon, we reanalyzed past tagging and recovery data (1993–1994). The tagging study was conducted in the Shokanbetsu River, northern Japan; 863 wild masu salmon smolts were captured, tagged, and released in a downstream site, and a total of 19 fish were recovered in coastal fisheries and in the natal river the following year. The data were analyzed by a logistic regression analysis with recapture as a response variable and tagging date and smolt length as explanatory variables; the tagging date had a significant effect on the recapture rate, whereas the effect of smolt size was not significant. Despite the small number of recaptures, this study indicates that migration timing is a factor affecting the marine survival of wild masu salmon smolts, although this conclusion has been repeatedly documented for other species of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp.  相似文献

Identification of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou masou and amago salmon O. m. ishikawae was accomplished using a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Of 80 primers screened, three primers amplified subspecies-specific fragments (OPA11-1095 *, OPB5-1618* and OPD5-2038 *). Based on fragment patterns, 33 hybrids were detected among 150 upstream-migrating individuals in the Jinzu River, central Japan, a long-time habitat of masu salmon, to which amago salmon were recently introduced. All of the individuals examined in the 2000–2002 cohorts were identified as F 1 and F x as well as pure masu and amago forms. These results indicated continuing hybridization, the genetic pollution of the native masu salmon population by amago salmon possibly being a serious problem in the Jinzu River. Both standard length and body weight in F 1 hybrids tended to be less than in pure masu salmon. However, F x hybrids showed similar body sizes to masu salmon.  相似文献

Three pepsinogens (PG1, PG2, and PG3) were highly purified from the stomach of freshwater fish rice field eel (Monopterus albus Zuiew) by ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographies on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-200 HR. The molecular masses of the three purified PGs were all estimated as 36 kDa using SDS–PAGE. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) showed that pI values of the three PGs were 5.1, 4.8, and 4.6, respectively. All the PGs converted into corresponding pepsins quickly at pH 2.0, and their activities could be specifically inhibited by aspartic proteinase inhibitor pepstatin A. Optimum pH and temperature of the enzymes for hydrolyzing hemoglobin were 3.0–3.5 and 40–45°C. The K m values of them were 1.2 × 10−4 M, 8.7 × 10−5 M, and 6.9 × 10−5 M, respectively. The turnover numbers (k cat) of them were 23.2, 24.0, and 42.6 s−1. Purified pepsins were effective in the degradation of fish muscular proteins, suggesting their digestive functions physiologically.  相似文献

Trypsin from the pyloric ceca of orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides, was purified by fractionation with ammonium sulfate, ionic exchange, and affinity chromatography. The protein was purified 161.85-fold with a yield of 4%. Purified trypsin had an apparent molecular weight of 24 kDa according to an SDS-PAGE analysis. Optimal profiles of temperature and pH of the enzyme were 50°C and 8–10, respectively, using Nα-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester as the substrate. The results of thermal and pH stability assays showed that the enzyme was stable at temperatures of up to 50°C and in the pH range of 6–8. Trypsin activity decreased with an increasing NaCl concentration (0–0.6 M). The activity of purified trypsin was effectively inhibited by a soybean trypsin inhibitor and N-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone, and was slightly inhibited by iodoacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1-(l-trans-epoxysuccinyl-leucylamino)-4-guanidinobutane, and pepstatin A. Protein identification of the purified protease showed that the sequences of two peptides, LGEHNI and NLDNDIML, were highly homologous to other fish trypsins. The measurement of trypsin activity in different tissues showed that the highest activity was detected in pyloric ceca, followed by anterior intestine, middle intestine, hind intestine and spleen, but very low activities were found in other tissues. An inverse relationship between the trypsin activity in four tissues of pyloric ceca, anterior intestine, middle intestine and hind intestine and fish body weight as a result of increased pepsin in stomach indicated grouper growth status was increased.  相似文献

Lipases were purified from delipidated pyloric ceca powder of two New Zealand-sourced fish, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and hoki (Macruronus novaezelandiae), by fractional precipitation with polyethylene glycol 1000, followed by affinity chromatography using cholate-Affi-Gel 102, and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 HR. For the first time, in-polyacrylamide gel activity of purified fish lipases against 4-methylumbelliferyl butyrate has been demonstrated. Calcium ions and sodium cholate were absolutely necessary both for lipase stability in the gel and for optimum activity against caprate and palmitate esters of p-nitrophenol. A single protein band was present in native polyacrylamide gels for both salmon and hoki final enzyme preparations. Under denaturing conditions, electrophoretic analysis revealed two bands of 79.6 and 54.9 kDa for salmon lipase. It is proposed that these bands correspond to an uncleaved and a final form of the enzyme. One band of 44.6 kDa was seen for hoki lipase. pI values of 5.8 ± 0.1 and 5.7 ± 0.1 were obtained for the two salmon lipase forms. The hoki lipase had a pI of 5.8 ± 0.1. Both lipases had the highest activity at 35°C, were thermally labile, had a pH optimum of 8–8.5, and were more acid stable compared to other fish lipases studied to date. Both enzymes were inhibited by the organophosphate paraoxon. Chinook salmon and hoki lipases showed good stability in several water-immiscible solvents. The enzymes had very similar amino acid composition to mammalian carboxyl ester lipases and one other fish digestive lipase. The salmon enzyme was an overall better catalyst based on its higher turnover number (3.7 ± 0.3 vs. 0.71 ± 0.05 s−1 for the hoki enzyme) and lower activation energy (2.0 ± 0.4 vs. 7.6 ± 0.8 kcal/mol for the hoki enzyme) for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl caprate. The salmon and hoki enzymes are homologous with mammalian carboxyl ester lipases.  相似文献

Using mark-recapture methods, the movements of the fluvial form of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou masou) in a mountain stream on the island of Kyushu, Japan, were studied. Most (78%) of the masu salmon were recaptured in the pool in which they had been originally caught and tagged. Of those that moved between pools, the proportion of individuals that moved during the breeding period was not significantly higher than the proportion that moved during the non-breeding period. However, during the breeding period, a higher proportion of larger salmon moved than did smaller fish. The proportion of mobile large males during breeding period was higher than that for small males. Also, it was found that a few individuals showed long-range movement in the autumn. As a long-term movement, 78 individual fish (65%) that were recaptured more than three times showed high sedentary tendencies. Sixteen individual mobile fish (13%) moved and returned to the original pool. Fluvial form of masu salmon in Kyushu show a high sedentary nature; however, large mature males seem to actively move in search of female during breeding period.  相似文献

Predation after release is one of the major concerns of hatchery fish propagation. However, size-specific interaction between predator and prey on the survival of hatchery-released salmonid fish is largely unknown. To understand the size-selective predation risk, 24-h predation experiments were conducted on masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou in tanks. Four ranges of fork length (FL) were examined for masu salmon as a prey, in combination with three ranges of FL for white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis as a predator. The results show that not only predator and prey sizes, but also interaction between prey size and predator size, strongly affected the survival rate of masu salmon. Predation on masu salmon with the FL exceeding 40% of the FL of white-spotted charr was rare in the experiment. A logistic regression suggests that 37% relative FL of masu salmon to white-spotted charr results in the 50% survival of masu salmon. Our results suggest that adjusting relative size of hatchery fish to the size of local fish predators at the time of hatchery release will have a significant impact on the survival of hatchery fish in the wild. From this perspective, site-specific, adaptive management might be important to improve the effectiveness of hatchery fish propagation.  相似文献

SUMMARY: Two trypsins, designated as trypsin A and trypsin B, have been purified from the hepatopancreas of carp. The purification procedures consisted of ammonium sulfate fractionation, and chromatographies on DEAE-Sephacel, Ultrogel AcA54 and Q-Sepharose. Trypsin A was purified to homogeneity with the molecular mass of approximately 28 kDa, while trypsin B gave two close bands of 28.5 kDa and 28 kDa on sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis both under reducing and non-reducing conditions. On native-PAGE, both trypsin A and trypsin B showed a single band. Trypsin A and trypsin B revealed optimum temperature of 40°C and 45°C, respectively, and shared the same optimum pH 9.0 using Boc-Phe-Ser-Arg-MCA as substrate. Both enzymes were effectively inhibited by trypsin inhibitors and their susceptibilities were similar. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of trypsin A and trypsin B were determined to 37th and 40th amino acid residue, respectively. Their sequences were very homologous, but not identical to that of a trypsin-type serine proteinase from carp muscle and these of other trypsins. Immunoblotting test using the antibody raised against trypsin A cross-reacted with trypsin B positively.  相似文献

Brown trout Salmo trutta were first introduced into Japan in 1892, and they currently naturally reproduce in several rivers in Honshu and Hokkaido, Japan. Although negative impacts of brown trout introductions on native salmonid fishes have been documented in some Hokkaido rivers, studies of ecological interactions between brown trout and native salmonid fishes on Honshu are limited. In this study, we describe the longitudinal distribution patterns of introduced brown trout, white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis and masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou in a 4 km stretch of a stream in central Honshu. Underwater observations were conducted in all pools within upstream, middle and downstream sections (190–400 m in length) of this stretch in order to estimate the densities of these species. Only white-spotted charr was observed in the upstream section, while brown trout and masu salmon were observed in the middle and downstream sections. Masu salmon densities, however, were much lower than brown trout densities. In the downstream section, white-spotted charr was absent. These results are consistent with results from previous studies of Hokkaido rivers, where it was found that white-spotted charr in low-gradient areas tend to be displaced by brown trout.  相似文献

Vermiculated sailfin catfish (Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, Weber, 1991), a member of the Loricariidae family and an invasive species of several inland waters around the world, possess an enormous digestive tract representing about 10% of fish weight. Thus, the aim of this study was to partially characterize proteases from their digestive tracts. Azocasein digestion of the crude extract of intestine at different pH values and temperatures revealed the presence of alkaline proteases with optimum activities at pH 9.0 and 50°C. Incubation assays of the crude extract with inhibitors such as phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride, N-α-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone, N-tosyl-phenyalanine chloromethyl ketone, benzamidine, pepstatin A and ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid showed that trypsin and chymotrypsin are the main alkaline proteinases present. Zymography showed that the crude extract of Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus viscera contained proteases with molecular masses ranging from 21.5 to 116 kDa. Trypsin and chymotrypsin were inhibited by the following ions in decreasing order: Hg2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Li+, Mg2+, K+, while Mn2+, and Ca2+ had no effect. Activities decreased continuously as the NaCl concentration increased from 0 to 30%. These results constitute important background information for future studies and for the potential biotechnological use of the crude digestive extract from this invasive species.  相似文献

SUMMARY: This paper evaluates the stocking effectiveness of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou in Hokkaido, northern Japan, through a coast-wide two-stage sampling survey of commercial landings. From January to June 1994–1996, commercial landings of masu salmon at 33–36 fish markets were sampled at 7–10 days intervals, and 60 866–72 124 fish were examined for marks indicated by fin clips. Based on the survey data, numbers of total and hatchery-reared masu salmon landed were estimated. To examine the structure of the errors, stratification of fish markets was implemented on the basis of geography and magnitudes of landings, and the stratification improved accuracy and precision of the estimates. Accuracy of the estimated numbers of total fish was evaluated by being compared to the true numbers of masu salmon landings reported by fishermen's cooperative associations. Estimates of total masu salmon landings were within ± 10% of the true numbers. The estimated recovery rates (± SE) for hatchery-reared masu salmon smolts were variable ranging from 0.18 (± 0.06) to 3.50 (± 0.41)% among the stocked groups. An optimal sampling strategy was examined to obtain precise estimates for future studies.  相似文献

We sought to provide a useful indicator of the presence of endocrine-disrupting contaminants along the marine coast of the South Pacific using Chilean flounder (Paralichthys adspersus). In light of the lack of information on vitellogenin for this species, we induced, purified, and identified the plasma vitellogenin of Chilean flounder inhabiting the Chilean coast. Vitellogenin (Vg) from Chilean flounder was purified by size exclusion and ion-exchange chromatography using plasma from juvenile males induced by injecting 17β-estradiol. The Vg was detected by SDS–PAGE and Western blot analyses using an antibody against turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) vitellogenin. These analyses revealed a protein band of 205 kDa and three minor bands of 120, 90, and 68 kDa. These proteins were identified as Vg by means of mass spectrometry (LCQ Duo ESI-IT-MS), matching sequences of tryptic peptides to known sequences for several other fish species. The matches showed the presence of vitellogenin (VgI, VgII, Vg A and Vg B) in Chilean flounder, similar to species such as mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), and white perch (Morone americana). These results are discussed in terms of identifying Vg in Paralichthys adspersus with the antibody to turbot Vg. Moreover, we compare the molecular size of Vg from Chilean flounder (large) with that of other flatfish species. Finally, we discuss the potential use of this molecule as a biomarker for the presence of xeno-estrogenic compounds along the Chilean coastline.  相似文献

Anionic trypsin from Pacific saury (Cololabis saira) pyloric ceca was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. It was purified to 53.7-fold with a yield of 6.1%. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme was about 24 kDa, as determined by size exclusion chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). On native-PAGE, trypsin showed a single band. The purified anionic trypsin displayed optimal activity at pH 8.5 and 55°C. The enzyme was stable at neutral and alkaline pH and in the temperature range of 20–50°C. The stability was affected by the calcium ion. The activity of purified anionic trypsin was completely inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor and N-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) and partially inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). NaCl (0–30%) decreased the activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The kinetic trypsin constants Km and Kcat were 0.19 mM and 210 s?1, respectively, while the catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) was 1105.26 s?1 mM?1. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of anionic trypsin, IVGGYECQAH, were found and were homologous to those of trypsin from other fish species.  相似文献

Alternative life-history tactics of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou are well documented. Subsequent to the freshwater parr stage (age ≥ 1 + years), an anadromous form migrates to the sea after smolting, while a resident form matures without seaward migration. In addition to this typical migratory dimorphism, anecdotal reports based on field observations have indicated that some underyearling masu salmon use estuarine waters. However, no empirical evidence indicates saltwater utilisation and subsequent survival in the early parr stage. Here, we used otolith microchemistry to examine whether a portion of masu salmon parr in northern Japan enters coastal habitats. The otolith Sr:Ca ratios of most juveniles collected from six rivers had consistently low values, indicating that masu salmon parr inhabiting these rivers stay only in freshwater. In contrast, in individuals from a steep-gradient river the Sr:Ca ratios increased at about a 200-µm distance from the otolith core. These results suggest that some masu salmon parr might use brackish water or sea water temporarily. In addition, three masu salmon parr were found in another steep river where a culvert located only ten metres from the river mouth completely blocked upstream migration for spawning. The Sr:Ca ratios in these fish increased at about >200 µm from the otolith core, indicating the parr had immigrated to the non-natal river from the sea. Such flexible behaviour at an early life stage may contribute to the spatial expansion of masu salmon, and the movement could moreover help to stabilise its population dynamics.  相似文献

We focused on developing an epidemic prevention method for circulating masu salmon aquaculture using the probiotic Lactococcus lactis strain K-C2. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of strain K-C2 against pathogens isolated from dead Yamame and masu salmon. First, we identified pathogenic bacteria that were isolated from dead masu salmon based on phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and biological and biochemical characterization. The antibacterial activity of strain K-C2 against seven pathogenic strains isolated from dead masu salmon in this study and two strains of Aeromonas salmonicida previously isolated from dead Yamame was tested using a double agar plate method. The results of a BLAST search using 16S rRNA partial sequence data (1200–1300 bp) revealed that six of the former strains and one of the latter strains showed high similarity to Vibrio anguillarum and Tenacibaculum maritimum, respectively. Strain K-C2 showed antibacterial activity against all pathogenic bacteria. In this study, pathogenic bacteria were newly isolated from dead seawater-acclimated masu salmon, and strain K-C2 was found to have antibacterial effects against these pathogens.

Terrestrial invertebrates falling from the riparian canopy are a major energy source for fishes in headwater streams. Because quantity and quality of such allochthonous resources can vary depending on riparian conditions, conversion of riparian forests to conifer plantations may affect stream productivity. We compared falling and drifting invertebrate abundances and the diet of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) among stream reaches bordered by deciduous broadleaved forests, conifer plantations (Cryptomeria japonica), and clear‐cut sites in southwestern Japan. We also examined whether among‐reach variation in salmon abundance was related to the riparian vegetation types. The results indicated that, on an annual basis, falling inputs of terrestrial invertebrates at the broadleaved reaches were 2–4 times higher than those at the plantation and clear‐cut reaches. In nonwinter seasons, terrestrial invertebrates made up 40–60% and 30–90% of drift and masu salmon diets, respectively, and drifting invertebrate abundance was higher in the broadleaved reaches than in the plantation reaches. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis of salmon abundance showed that variation in salmon biomass was explained primarily by riparian vegetation type, with broadleaved and clear‐cut reaches having higher biomass than the plantation reaches. These results indicate that terrestrial invertebrates are an important resource for masu salmon, and suggest that streams bordered by conifer plantations receive lower terrestrial prey inputs, which results in lower salmon abundance. In regions where natural forests have been extensively converted to conifer plantations, forest management that allows and facilitates recovery of natural riparian stands is important.  相似文献

Changes in serum thyroxine (T4), estradiol-17β (E2) and testosterone (T) levels during the parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) were investigated in the masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) in 1985 and 1987. T4 showed a peak in levels at the early stage of smoltification and E2 and T levels peaked almost at the same time. There were no significant differences between the concentrations of serum hormones in female and males. During smoltification, germ cells in the peri-nucleolus and spermatogonia stage were present in the ovary and testis, respectively. These results suggest that E2 and T may be involved in smoltification in the masu salmon.  相似文献

The mechanisms by which nonnative species establish populations can be classified into two broad categories: they usurp the niches of native species through interspecific competition, or they avoid this intense interspecific competition by making use of minimal niche overlap with the native species. In this study, we considered how a nonnative salmonid species, the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, established a population in the presence of the native salmonid species, the masu salmon O. masou, in Hokkaido, Japan. Circumstantial field evidence shows that the masu salmon exceeds the rainbow trout in abundance and suggests that these species use different types of cover habitat (rainbow trout abundance increases with increasing abundance of large woody debris aggregates, whereas masu salmon abundance increases with increasing abundance of undercut banks). These results imply that the rainbow trout established a population due to minimal niche overlap with the masu salmon, and not by competitive exclusion of the native species.  相似文献
