The Conservation Network of Horseshoe Crab Tachypleus tridentatus in Taiwan

2009
The horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus once thrived in the west coast of Taiwan. We started our research on the horseshoe crabs when we discovered a few juveniles crawling on mudflats in Kinmen Island in 1996. However, after a decade’s effort, the status of the horseshoe crab is still dangerously poor in Taiwan. The whole horseshoe crab conservation

Amplexus and Mating Behavior in the Japanese Horseshoe Crab, Tachypleus tridentatus

Zoological Science, 1996
Abstract Amplexus and mating behavior in the horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus, were studied at imari Bay and Kitsuki Bay, Kyushu, Japan, during Summer, 1994. The pairwise size distribution of mated pairs (n =28) showed a lack of size-assortative mating.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus)

Conservation Genetics, 2009
Tachypleus tridentatus is an endangered horseshoe crab that is found and known only in several isolated sites in southern China, and that has been suffering from the loss and fragmentation of its habitat. To evaluate its genetic diversity and population genetics, the first set of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci was developed and characterized ...

Role of Tachylectins in Host Defense of the Japanese Horseshoe Crab Tachypleus Tridentatus

2001
Immunity to pathogens is mediated by two general systems, innate and acquired immunity. Acquired immunity is found only in vertebrates and it is the system of B and T lymphocytes, which produces a multitude of specific antigen receptors and antibodies by somatic gene rearrangement. Innate immunity is phylogenetically older than acquired immunity and is

Tissue specificity of tropomyosin from a horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1986
Abstract 1. 1. Heterogeneity and tissue specificity of tropomyosin from various tissues of a horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus, were studied by electrophoretic and immunochemical methods. 2. 2. Results showed coexistence of at least four, probably six, isoforms of horseshoe crab tropomyosin in all tissues examined. 3. 3.

Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing facilitates Tachypleus tridentatus genome annotation

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
Tachypleus tridentatus is a keystone species in marine ecosystems. Its hemolymph also provides the limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) for detection of bacterial endotoxin in human medical service. Here we combined SMRT sequencing and Illumina RNA-seq to characterize the novel isoforms, novel genetic loci, fusion isoforms formation and transcriptome ...

[Cloning and expression of Tachypleus tridentatus factor C].

Sheng wu hua xue yu sheng wu wu li xue bao Acta biochimica et biophysica Sinica, 2002
Factor C is an endotoxin-sensitive, intracellular serine protease zymogen which initiates the coagulation cascade system in the horseshoe crab hemolymph. The special lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding activation of FC makes it a potential drug for anti-LPS treatment and has a high commercial value.

Conformation of tachyplesin I from Tachypleus tridentatus when interacting with lipid matrixes

Biochemistry, 1992
The mode of action of tachyplesin I, an antimicrobial cationic heptadecapeptide amide isolated from the hemocyte debris of a horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus, toward lipid matrices was studied with synthetic tachyplesin I, its analogs with Phe in place of Trp or Tyr, a linear analog with no disulfide bonds, and two linear short fragments ...
