Molecular characterization was carried out on an iridovirus isolated from yellow grouper, Epinephelus awoara . The major capsid protein (MCP) gene was located, sequenced and compared with homologous genes from other iridoviruses. The nucleotide sequence is 1392 bases long and contains a single open reading frame beginning at an ATG codon from the 5' end and terminating at a TAA codon at the 3' end. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 463 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 50 272 Da. Pairwise amino acid alignments detected a high degree of sequence identity between grouper iridovirus (GIV) MCP and the homologous genes of other iridoviruses. The MCP gene of GIV was most similar to the MCP gene from frog virus 3 (FV3) with 70% nucleotide and 73% amino acid sequence identity. The predicted molecular weight of the protein of this gene is comparable with the apparent weight obtained by SDS–PAGE. Pathogenicity of the GIV was investigated in yellow grouper by intraperitoneal injection of 107 and 104 TCID50 virus. Cumulative mortalities reached 100% within 11 and 25 days post-infection, respectively, while no grouper died in the control group. The molecular studies demonstrated that GIV is a member of the genus Ranavirus . 相似文献

Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) is released from the X-organ/sinus gland complex located in the eyestalks. In this
study, the most abundant CHH in the sinus gland of the greasyback shrimp Metapenaeus ensis was purified by reversed-phase HPLC and identified by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Although two CHH molecules (Mee-CHH-A
and Mee-CHH-B) have already been identified from M. ensis by cDNA cloning, this study revealed the presence of an additional CHH peptide based on differences in the N-terminal amino
acid sequences of the CHH-A and CHH-B. Therefore, this novel CHH was designated as Mee-CHH-C. A cDNA encoding the Mee-CHH-C
precursor was cloned by RT-PCR coupled with 5′- and 3′-RACE, and it was found that the mature Mee-CHH-C consisted of 72 amino
acid residues containing 6 conserved cysteine residues and possessed an amidated C terminus. Mee-CHH-C had 62 and 68% identities
with Mee-CHH-A and Mee-CHH-B, respectively, and was highly homologous to CHHs characterized from other penaeid shrimp species.
The hyperglycemic activity of Mee-CHH-C was examined by an in vivo bioassay using the kuruma prawn Marsupenaeus japonicus. Injection of Mee-CHH-C increased hemolymph glucose levels significantly and dose-dependently. These results indicate that
Mee-CHH-C is possibly one of the major molecules in M. ensis that regulate glucose levels in the hemolymph. 相似文献

The tilapia species occurring in the lower Nile are Sarotherodon niloticus, S. aureus, S. galiaeus and Tilapia zillii. The distinguishing characteristics between the previously confused S. niloticus and S. aureus are summarised; from these there is no evidence of hybridization of the two species in natural populations in Egypt. The scales are used to estimate the growth rates of tilapia species in two coastal lakes and in both, S. niloticus grows faster than S. aureus after the first year. The possible factors causing the growth checks on the scales are considered.
The spawning season of S. niloticus appears to attain a discrete peak in April–May, whilst the spawning season of S. aureus extends from May to September with at least two actual spawnings within this period. Natural spawning cycles are compared with those observed in fish ponds.
A more extended spawning period of S. aureus may explain the reduced growth rate of the species after the first year. The spawning cycle of all species coincides with the temperature regime of the water bodies. The fecundities of S. aureus and S. niloticus are similar and are described by log F = log 1.33 + 2.23 log L, which suggests that small fishes produce more eggs per g body weight than large.
The salinity tolerance of the Nile tilapia can be ranked as T. zillii > S. galilaeus > S. aureus > S. niloticus. Evidence on chronic and acute effects of salinity are reviewed and upper estimates for salinities giving unimpeded growth are deduced as being, T. zillii 29‰, S. galilaeus 15–20‰, S. areus 10–15‰ and S. niloticus 5–10‰. 相似文献

C型凝集素是一种依赖于Ca~(2+)而发挥功能的糖蛋白,在一线的固有免疫防御过程中发挥着重要作用。围绕对虾C型凝集素开展深入研究,不仅可以丰富无脊椎动物固有免疫学内容,还有望将其开发为具有免疫增强效果的活性饵料,应用于对虾的健康养殖。本实验根据实验室前期转录组信息提示克隆获得了凡纳滨对虾一种新的C型凝集素基因(LvLc1,Gen Bank注册号:KY937940)。生物信息学分析显示LvLc1基因的开放阅读框全长891 bp,编码296个氨基酸,该基因编码的蛋白质含有一个保守的糖识别结构域(carbohydrate recognition domain,CRD),该结构域中具有潜在的半乳糖结合位点(QPD motif),进化发生分析显示LvLc1与来自节肢动物的甘露糖结合凝集素家族成员聚类在一起。对LvLc1基因的CRD结构域进行了原核重组表达与蛋白活性分析研究,结果显示:重组目的蛋白(rLvLc1)在Ca~(2+)存在的条件下,对多种病原菌(G~+、G~–和真菌)具有凝集作用,其凝集活性可被半乳糖、甘露糖、脂多糖等多种病原相关分子模式所抑制。研究表明,LvLc1作为C-型凝集素家族一个新成员,可能通过重要的模式识别受体作用,参与机体应答病原微生物侵染的防御过程。 相似文献

ABSTRACT: A ghrelin gene has been cloned and sequenced in common carp Cyprinus carpio . Ghrelin cDNA is composed of 461 bp [with a 36-bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and a 113-bp 3'-UTR], which translates into a protein of 103 amino acid residues. Carp ghrelin (preproghrelin) contained a predicted signal peptide of 26 amino acid residues, the ghrelin domain ( Gly 27 – Val 45 ) and C-terminal peptide ( Gly 46 – Phe 103 ). Homology analysis of the ghrelin domain of carp with that of other known ghrelin in vertebrates showed good similarity to teleost ghrelin (50–81.8%). Hydropathy analysis based on the deduced amino acid sequence of ghrelin domains in teleosts showed a similar profile. Carp ghrelin clustered with ghrelin of goldfish Carassius auratus and other teleosts, away from mammalian, reptilian, avian, amphibian and chondrichthian ghrelin, by phylogenetic analysis. Genomic organization of carp ghrelin gene was composed of four exons and three introns, which was the same as that of other teleosts and human ghrelin genes. The carp ghrelin gene was expressed in unstimulated tissues such as foregut, hindgut, spleen and brain. In spleen cells, expression of the ghrelin gene increased upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or imiquimod. The identification of carp ghrelin gene and the analysis of the modulation of its expression in immune-activated conditions will allow a more complete analysis of the roles of ghrelin in teleosts. 相似文献

In order to develop a simple and accurate index of the salinity resistance of tilapia, batches of 10 juveniles (5 to 20 g) of two different species Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon melanotheron reared in freshwater were subjected to gradual increases in salinity until 100% mortality. Seven daily increments of salinity were tested with 4 replicates: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 g l−1 day−1, while control batches were kept in fresh water. The temperature was maintained at 27 °C. The concentration of oxygen, ammonia and the pH were not limiting factors. The mortality, monitored on a daily basis, appeared after 2–51 days and was spread out over 1–20 days, depending on the increment of salinity. The higher the daily rate in salinity increase, then the shorter the time lapse before total mortality occurred. The cumulative mortality as a function of salinity fit well with simple linear regressions. The criterion of the resistance to salinity was the index MLS (median lethal salinity) defined at each daily rate as the salinity at which 50% of fish died. For S. melanotheron, the mean MLS was 123.7±3.5 g l−1 whatever the daily rate in salinity. For O. niloticus, the MLS was 46.3±3.4 g l−1 for daily increases in salinity ranging from 2 to 8 g l−1 day−1 and decreased significantly (P<0.05) above this level. The MLS-8 g l−1 day−1 ,which takes into account the full capacity of the fish to adapt to the increasing salinity, appeared to be a simple, optimized and efficient criterion for assessing the resistance to salinity for O. niloticus and S. melanotheron. This criterion can be a useful tool for ranking the different parental strains and hybrids of different genus and species of tilapia used in programmes of genetic selection for growth and salinity tolerance. 相似文献

The content of total and free amino acids in freshwater planktonic rotifers (Brachionus sp.), copepods (Eudiaptomus zachariasi) and groups of Daphnia pulex, Ceriodaphnia sp. and copepodites (Cyclops strenuus) of different sizes was determined. The amino acid content of Artemia salina nauplii on hatching and during fasting was also determined.
Amino acid content was lowest in rotifers and highest in stage III–IV copepodites. The major free amino acids in Cyclops strenuus dry matter were 1.43% arginine, 0.22% histidine, 0.20% alanine, 0.15% glutamic acid and 0.11% lysine. Free arginine content decreased in the daphnids as they increased in size. The content of all free amino acids in fasting Artemia nauplii was lower than in the freshwater zooplankters. The major free amino acids in nauplii were 0.55% proline, 0.41% alanine, 0.34% glycine and 0.37% serine. The content of most free amino acids in nauplii decreased during fasting. The significance of the results are discussed in relation to essential amino acid requirements of fish, and nutrition of fish larvae without fully developed gastrointestinal systems. 相似文献

为了探究Na+/K+-ATP酶和Ca2+-ATP酶在松江鲈(Trachidermus fasciatus)应对低盐胁迫过程中的调节作用,本研究基于前期转录组数据,获取目标基因ATP1A3 (Na+/K+-ATP酶α3亚基基因)和ATP2B1 (Ca2+-ATP酶1基因)的序列信息并进行了系统进化分析。利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测了松江鲈的鳃、肠、肾脏和肝脏组织中2个基因在2种低盐胁迫处理(盐度渐变处理,盐度变化速率为1.1/h;盐度骤变处理,盐度变化速率为27/h)下,不同时间点(0 h、12 h、24 h和48 h)的表达水平。系统进化分析结果表明,ATP1A3和ATP2B1基因分别聚类形成独立分支;在各基因分支中,松江鲈与已报道的鲈形目和鲽形目等鱼类共同聚在硬骨鱼类分支中。在2种低盐胁迫处理下,2个基因在鳃、肠、肾脏和肝脏组织中的表达量呈现不同的变化趋势。鳃组织中ATP1A3表达量在盐度渐变处理下先上升后下降,ATP2B1表达量仅在24 h显著升高;盐度骤变处理下,ATP1A3表达量显著下降,ATP2B1表达量显著上升。2种盐度渐变处理下,肠组织中ATP1A3表达量均在24 h显著下降;ATP2B1表达量在盐度渐变处理下显著上升,盐度骤变处理下在24 h显著上升。在盐度渐变处理下,肾脏组织中2个基因的表达量均在24 h显著上升至最大值;ATP1A3表达量在盐度骤变处理下显著上升,ATP2B1表达量在12 h和48 h显著上升。肝脏组织中2个基因的表达量在盐度渐变处理下均无显著变化;盐度骤变处理下,ATP1A3表达量持续显著上升,ATP2B1表达量在48 h显著上升。结果表明,低盐胁迫处理显著影响了ATP1A3和ATP2B1基因的表达水平,但2个基因的表达量变化规律存在显著性差异。上述结果为探讨Na+/K+-ATP酶和Ca2+-ATP酶在鱼类渗透压调节过程中的作用及洄游性鱼类适应盐度变化的分子调控机制提供了理论依据。 相似文献

The primary structure of the major protein from the Corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of the Australian eel was elucidated from
the cDNA sequence and was found to bear close similarity to the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the presumably homologous
salmon hormone, teleocalcin (TC). The cDNA sequence predicted a preproprotein of 263 amino acids. Following removal of a 17
amino acid signal peptide, specific monobasic cleavage at an Arg-Phe bond generates the 231 amino acid mature form of the
protein. The isolation and sequence determination of the prosequence confirms that the precursor contains a prosegment of
15 residues. Various fragments of the protein have been synthesized chemically and their biological activity assessed. The
N-terminal 1–20 fragment of the mature protein inhibits calcium uptake in fingerling trout, the effect being similar, but
not equipotent to salmon teleocalcin. Further, infusion of either the N-terminal 1–20 or the 81–94 fragment at 50 μg/h into
the renal artery of conscious sheep, caused significant decreases in systemic plasma potassium concentration and in potassium
excretion. The 1–20 fragment also gave rise to a small but significant increase in sodium excretion. Infusion of TC at the
same rate results in a significant decrease in plasma potassium and phosphate concentration as well as a significant decrease
in potassium excretion. Bovine PTH (1–34) at 100 μg/h causes a small decrease in plasma potassium and phosphate and an increase
in plasma calcium concentration, and was the only peptide to cause a significant decrease in calcium excretion. 相似文献

The gene for penaeidin-5, an antimicrobial peptide comprising 55 amino acids, was isolated from the hemocyte of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). RT-PCR expression tests revealed that penaeidin-5 was produced in hemocytes, gills, the intestine and muscle. Western blot analysis confirmed the panaeidin-5 was aboundantin hemocytes, the intestine and hemolymph. Immunohistochemistry revealedpenaeidin-5 in the cuticle and gills that are considered primary defense barriers. The deduced amino acid sequence of penaeidin-5 included a proline-rich N-terminal domain and a carboxyl-domain that contained six cysteine residues. Circular dichrosim analysis revealed an -helix in its secondary structure and the predicted 3D structure indicated two-disulfide bridges in the -helix. Based on the sequence of penaeidin-5 peptide cDNA, synthetic penaeidin-5 was prepared to carry out functional tests. The synthetic peptide had efficient bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against Aerococcus viridans, and also inhibited the growth of two filamentous fungi, Fusarium pisi and Fusarium oxysporum. To measure penaeidin-5 in vivo, black tiger shrimp were challenged with Vibrio alginolyticus and A. viridans. At 3 h post-challenge, penaeidin-5 was induced and bacterial numbers decreased significantly by 12 h and 24 h. 相似文献
