Hyperaccumulation of cadmium by scallop Chlamys farreri revealed by comparative transcriptome analysis

BioMetals, 2020
Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous environmental contaminant, which has a serious effect on the ecosystem, food safety and human health. Scallop could accumulate high concentration of Cd from the environment and has been regarded as a Cd hyper-accumulator.

Evidence for the presence of sex steroid hormones in Zhikong scallop, Chlamys farreri

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
To obtain evidence of the presence of sex steroid hormones in mollusks, hormone variation in the gonads of the Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri was analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS. These were found, as expected, with concentrations of estrone (E1), 17beta-estradiol (E2), and testosterone (T) in the testes ranging from not detected (ND) to 0.07 ± 0.10, ND to 3.

The immunomodulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits in Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2015
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), the best-studied ionotropic neuron receptor protein, is a key player in neuronal communication, and it has been reported to play an important role in immunomodulation of vertebrates. Although nAChRs have also been identified in most invertebrates, the knowledge about their immunomodulation is still limited.

The phenoloxidase activity and antibacterial function of a tyrosinase from scallop Chlamys farreri

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2012
Tyrosinase (TYR), also known as monophenol monooxygenase, is a ubiquitous binuclear copper-containing enzyme which catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenols to catechols and the oxidation of catechols to quinones. In the present study, the cDNA of a tyrosinase (CfTYR) was identified from scallop Chlamys farreri, which encoded a polypeptide of 486 amino ...

[Physio-ecological characteristics of scallop Chlamys farreri].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2003
The physiological responses of scallop Chlamys farreri to changing environmental conditions were researched in semi-field water-flowing system, based on a recently developed biodeposition method. There was no significant relationship between clearance rate and stocking density or food concentration.

The fragmentation mechanism and immune-protective effect of CfTEP in the scallop Chlamys farreri

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2017
Thioester-containing proteins (TEPs), characterized by a unique intrachain β-cysteinyl-γ-glutamyl thioester bond, form an ancient and diverse family of secreted proteins that play central roles in the innate immune response. But the existence form and immune protection mechanism of TEP in invertebrates still remain unclear, especially in the mollusks ...

Bioaccumulation and detoxification responses in the scallop Chlamys farreri exposed to tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA)

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2015
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is currently the most widely used brominated flame retardant (BFR). In this study, the bioaccumulation of TBBPA and its consequent detoxification responses were examined in the scallop Chlamys farreri over 10 days' exposure. Chemical analysis showed that C. farreri absorbed TBBPA rapidly and an approximate steady state was

A novel serine protease with clip domain from scallop Chlamys farreri

Molecular Biology Reports, 2007
The serine proteases with clip domain are involved in various innate immune functions in invertebrate such as antimicrobial activity, cell adhesion, pattern recognition and regulation of the prophenoloxidase system. A serine protease with clip-domain cDNA (Cf SP) was obtained by Expressed sequence taggings (ESTs) method and rapid amplification of cDNA ...

Transcriptomic response to estrogen exposure in the male Zhikong scallop, Chlamys farreri

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
The transcriptomes of Zhikong scallop exposed to 17β-estradiol were determined using the Roche/454. A total of 51,997 unigenes, representing 45,030 contigs and 6967 singlets were obtained. And 14,028, 19,798 and 14,981 of these unigenes were annotated from the non-redundant nucleic acid database, non-redundant protein database and Swiss protein ...

Effects of benzo(k)fluoranthene exposure on the biomarkers of scallop Chlamys farreri

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2005
Scallops (Chlamys ferrari) were cultured for 30 days in seawater containing benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF) at 0.5, 1.0 and 10.0 microg/L. No effects were noted on 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity in digestive gland at low concentrations (0.5 and 1 microg/L) of BkF, but BkF increased the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity. At 10 microg/L
