The Mantle Exosome and MicroRNAs of Hyriopsis cumingii Involved in Nacre Color Formation

Marine Biotechnology, 2019
The nacre color of shells has an effect on the pearl color in Hyriopsis cumingii and is an important indicator for its value. The nacre is part of the shell, and some studies have shown that exosomes of the mantle are involved in the formation of shells.

Cyp17a effected by endocrine disruptors and its function in gonadal development of Hyriopsis cumingii

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2022
Estrogens and androgens that coexist in the aquatic environment could potentially affect shellfish, however, endocrine disrupting effects of them in shellfish are significant. As an important aquaculture shellfish in China, Hyriopsis cumingii has remarkable economic benefits.

Six defensins from the triangle-shell pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2011
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the first line of defense of invertebrates against invading pathogens. Defensins, unique AMPs, have a cysteine-stabilized α-helix and β-sheet (CSαβ) motif. In invertebrates, defensins have been reported in arthropods and mussels.

Identification of Foxl2 in freshwater mussel Hyriopsis cumingii and its involvement in sex differentiation

Gene, 2020
The freshwater mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, is the most important species for pearl culture in China. At present, the mechanisms underlying sex differentiation and determination remain unclear in this species. Herein the open reading frame (ORF) of Foxl2 from H.

Identification and functional characterization of a sTRAIL gene in mussel Hyriopsis cumingii

Aquaculture, 2013
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) plays an important role in many biological processes including immune response and cell apoptosis. Here, we identified a soluble TRAIL homolog in a mussel species, Hyriopsis cumingii (designated Hc-sTRAIL), which shows significant structural and functional similarities to mammalian ...

HcToll3 was involved in anti- Vibrio defense in freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2017
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the activation of innate immune response but their functions in bivalves remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a TLR from the freshwater pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii (HcToll3) and investigated its functions in immunity. The full-length cDNA of HcToll3 is 3852 bp and includes an open

The mechanism of IGF-AKT pathway promoting mantle biomineralization in Hyriopsis cumingii

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
The formation of shells and pearls in bivalves, such as Hyriopsis cumingii, is a complex biomineralization process regulated by mantle tissue, yet the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-AKT signaling pathway in these processes remains poorly understood.

Dynamic structural color in the nacre of Hyriopsis Cumingii and its cause

Optik, 2017
Abstract The structural color and microstructure of the nacre of Hyriopsis Cumingii were investigated by using reflection spectra, theoretical simulation, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results indicate that the structural color of the nacre of Hyriopsis Cumingii can obviously red-shift from blue to red along the growth pattern ...

Hic12, a novel acidic matrix protein promotes the transformation of calcite into vaterite in Hyriopsis cumingii

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2022
Shell acidic matrix proteins are widely considered to be essential for shell formation given their low affinity and high loading for calcium ion. In the present study, a novel matrix protein, hic12, was isolated from the mantle of Hyriopsis cumingii. High expression in tissue and positive signals with in situ hybridization were detected in the mantle ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of perlucin from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii

Gene, 2013
Perlucin is an important functional protein that regulates shell and pearl formation. In this study, we cloned the perlucin gene from the freshwater pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, designated as Hcperlucin. The full-length cDNA transcribed from the Hcperlucin gene was 1460 bp long, encoding a putative signal peptide of 20 amino acids and a mature ...
