Purification and characterization of phenoloxidase from crab Charybdis japonica

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2006
Phenoloxidase (PO) from hemolymph of Charybdis japonica was purified by gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, and characterized in terms of its molecular mass and enzymatic properties by using L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as the specific substrate.

Ribosomal DNA Intergenic Spacer of the Swimming Crab, Charybdis japonica

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1999
We have determined the full sequence of the ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer (IGS) of the swimming crab, Charybdis japonica, by long PCR for the first time in crustacean decapods. The IGS is 5376 bp long and contains two nonrepetitive regions separated by one long repetitive region, which is composed mainly of four subrepeats (subrepeats I, II, III, and

Pathological analysis of hemolymphs of Charybdis japonica infected with Vibrio alginolyticus

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2013
We explored the pathogenic mechanism of Vibrio alginolyticus in the stone crab Charybdis japonica by studying the hemolymph of C. japonica artificially infected by V. alginolyticus. To this end, Wright-Geimsa staining and electron microscopy were used, and phenoloxidase (PO) activity and the immune protection rate of C.

Identification and characterization of a hemocyanin-derived phenoloxidase from the crab Charybdis japonica

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009
To determine effective activators of crab hemocyanin (Hc) and the properties of Hc-derived phenoloxidase (HdPO), Hc, for the first time, was purified from hemolymph of Charybdis japonica, and the properties of activated HdPO were studied by using L-DOPA as a substrate. Three distinct subunits were isolated, and each had a molecular mass of about 80, 75

Range expansion of the invasive portunid crab Charybdis japonica in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2022
ABSTRACT Charybdis japonica , a large invasive portunid, has been recorded in New Zealand since its detection in the Waitematā Harbour in 2000. In this study, the distribution, invasion history, abundance and population structure were investigated for C. japonica

Mitochondrial prohibitin and its ubiquitination during spermatogenesis of the swimming crab Charybdis japonica

Gene, 2017
It has been proposed that prohibitin (PHB) involved in multiple cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, senescence and carcinogenesis. Various cellular compartment location of PHB demonstrates its diverse roles.

Effects of seawater pH and temperature on foraging behavior of the Japanese stone crab Charybdis japonica

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017
We examined prey selection and foraging behaviors of the crab Charybdis japonica exposed to four combinations of pH (7.3 and 8.1) and temperature (18°C and 25°C). The order of prey selection by C. japonica was Potamocorbula laevis, Ruditapes philippinarum, Tegillarca granosa and Mactra veneriformis.

A comparative study of the effect of starvation regimes on the foraging behavior of Portunus trituberculatus and Charybdis japonica

Physiology & Behavior, 2015
Predation of manila clams (Ruditapes philippinarum) by swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus) and Japanese stone crabs (Charybdis japonica) was compared in the laboratory under different starvation regimes by a video recording analysis system, and the mechanism of foraging behavior differences between them combined with ethograms and morphology ...

Transcriptome analysis for identification of candidate genes related to sex determination and growth in Charybdis japonica

Gene, 2018
Charybdis japonica is an important cultured crab in China and it exhibits sex differences in their growth. Growth is an important economic trait that is controlled by many genes. In order to discover the growth-related regulatory mechanisms, whole-body transcriptomic sequencing and comparative analyses in different genders of C. japonica were conducted

Expression and function analysis of metallothionein in the testis of stone crab Charybdis japonica exposed to cadmium

Aquatic Toxicology, 2012
Metallothionein (MT) participates in metallic homeostasis and detoxification in living animals. Previous studies have focused mainly on the functions of MT in vertebrates, but the functions of MT during spermiogenesis in invertebrates remain unclear. In order to investigate the functions of MT during spermiogenesis in the Japanese stone crab (Charybdis
