Gene cloning and functional study of PmKSPI from Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2022Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitors (KSPI) are a family of serine protease inhibitors (SPIs) and are extensively found in animals, plants, and microbes. SPI can inhibit proteases that may be harmful or unwanted to its cells. Here, a four-domain Kunitz-type SPI, PmKSPI, was cloned by RACE in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. The full-length

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 ...

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.

Evolutionary and functional analysis of MyD88 genes in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2020Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is an adapter protein that links toll-like receptor and interleukin 1 receptor-mediated signal transduction. In this study, we identified 20 MyD88 genes from eight mollusk genomes and found that MyD88 was expanded in bivalves. This expansion tends to be tandem duplication.
