Acute toxicity of formaldehyde to the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii
Water Research, 2000Abstract The acute toxicities of formaldehyde to one- and two-year-old pearl oysters, Pinctada fucata martensii, were determined under a semi-static condition at 20 and 25°C. The median lethal concentration (LC50) lowered progressively as the duration of exposure increased. The toxicity curves became almost asymptotic with the time axis by 96 h.

Triploid production in the Japanese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii
Aquaculture, 1989Abstract The eggs of the Japanese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii, were treated with cold, heat or cytochalasin B (CB) shocks at various time intervals after insemination to induce triploidy. To detect polyploidy, relative DNA content was estimated by microfluorometry with DAPI staining of larval or juvenile cells.

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.

A galactose-specific lectin from the hemolymph of the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 19891. A lectin in the serum of Pinctada fucata martensii was purified by a combination of affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B coupled with bovine submaxillary gland mucine, anion exchange chromatography on Mono Q and gel filtration on Superose 6. 2.

Evolution and function analysis of interleukin-17 gene from Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2019Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in immune responses. In this study, we identified 57 IL-17 genes from the genomes of six marine invertebrates, including Pinctada fucata martensii, Crassostrea gigas, Lottia gigantea, Capitella teleta, Mizuhopecten yessoensis, and Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Lysine succinylation is a novel protein post-translational modification associated with the regulation of a variety of cellular processes. Post-translational modifications may regulate the immune response of Pinctada fucata martensii, a marine bivalve used to produce cultured pearls, in response to the surgical implantation of the seed pearl.

Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) can effectively eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS)，avoid damage from O2 to the body, and maintain O2 balance. In this study, multi-step high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), combined with Mass Spectrometry (MS), was used to isolate and identify Cu/Zn-SOD from the serum of Pinctada fucata ...

Cloning and functional analysis of a trypsin-like serine protease from Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2022Trypsin-like serine proteases (TLSs) play various roles in dietary protein digestion, hemolymph coagulation, antimicrobial peptide synthesis, and, in particular, the rapid immune pathways activated in response to pathogen detection. The cultured pearl industry, of which Pinctada fucata martensii is one of the most important species, is plagued by ...

Ecdysone signal pathway participates in shell formation in pearl oysters Pinctada fucata martensii
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2022Ecdysone exists in arthropods, Mollusca and other invertebrates and plays vital roles in exoskeleton formation of Ecdysozoa. However, little is known about its functions in bivalve species. Herein, we identified ecdysone from the serum of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii and obtained the coding sequence of ecdysone receptor (PmEcR) and homologue ...

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
