Molecular and functional analysis of PmCHST1b in nacre formation of Pinctada fucata martensii
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018Keratan sulfate possesses considerable amounts of negatively charged sulfonic acid groups and participates in biomineralization. In the present study, we investigated characteristics and functions of a CHST1 gene identified from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii (PmCHST1b) which participated in the synthesis of keratan sulfate.

Molecular and functional analysis of PmC1qDC in nacre formation of Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2020The C1q-domain-containing (C1qDC) proteins are a family of proteins characterized by a globular C1q (gC1q) domain in their C-terminus which hold the potential function in the shell formation as shell matrix proteins. In this study, a C1qDC protein was identified and characterized in pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) (PmC1qDC) to explore its ...

A novel carbonic anhydrase from the mantle of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2006A novel carbonic anhydrase (CA) has been purified from the mantle of the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata, by ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography. Its molecular mass was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to be approximately 38 kDa.

Serum immune response of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata to xenografts and allografts
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2017The mantle piece from the donor pearl oyster would be rejected by the immune system of recipient oyster in pearl culture practice, especially in the case that the donor and receptor are different species. Thus, investigation of the immune response of recipient oyster to grafted mantle pieces, particularly to xenografts, is of importance in creating ...

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
Rhamnose-binding lectins (RBLs) are key components of pattern recognition molecules involved in pathogen clearance during non-specific immune responses and play an important role in the immune response of Mollusca. Pinctada fucata martensii is an essential species for artificial seawater pearl cultivation in China.

Cloning and characterization of an IKK homologue from pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2008IkappaB kinase (IKK) play central roles in cell signaling by regulating nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation, which is involved in inflammatory response, proliferation, development and bone homeostasis. We report here for the first time that an IKK homologue was cloned and functionally characterized in pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata.

Role of a perlucin-like protein in the antimicrobial immunity of Pinctada fucata martensii
C-type lectins (CTLs) are an important class of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in invertebrate innate immunity. Herein, a perlucin-like protein (PLP) from Pinctada fucata martensii was cloned and characterized and designated as PmPLP.Ruilin Lei +5 more
