High Levels of Tetrodotoxin in the Flesh, Usually an Edible Part of the Pufferfish Takifugu flavipterus, Caused by Migration from the Skin and the Regional Characteristics of Toxin Accumulation

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The consumption of a pufferfish, Takifugu flavipterus or komonfugu in Japanese, formerly known as Takifugu poecilonotus, is popular in Japan. However, T. flavipterus is frequently involved in cases of tetrodotoxin (TTX) poisoning in Japan.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Takifugu pseudommus (Actinopterygii, Tetraodontidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The complete mitochondrial genome of Takifugu pseudommus was reported in the present study. It was 16,448 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region.

Putative prion protein from Fugu (Takifugu rubripes) [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2007
Prion proteins (PrP) of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians have been successfully cloned, expressed and purified in sufficient yields to enable 3D structure determination by NMR spectroscopy in solution. More recently, PrP ortholog genes have also been identified in several fish species, based on sequence relationships with tetrapod PrPs.

Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) of Korean pufferfish

open access: yesFisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) are neurotoxins that display pharmacological activity that is similar to that of specific sodium channel blockers; they are the principle toxins involved in ...

Classification of Takifugu rubripes, T. chinensis and T. pseudommus by genotyping-by-sequencing.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Takifugu rubripes is more expensive than other species of the genus because of its high protein content and special flavor. However, it is easily confused with imported T. chinensis and T.

Structural basis of template-boundary definition in Tetrahymena telomerase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Telomerase is required to maintain repetitive G-rich telomeric DNA sequences at chromosome ends. To do so, the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) subunit reiteratively uses a small region of the integral telomerase RNA (TER) as a template.

Takifugu obscurus is a euryhaline fugu species very close to Takifugu rubripes and suitable for studying osmoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Physiology, 2005
AbstractBackgroundThe genome sequence of the pufferfishTakifugu rubripesis an enormously useful tool in the molecular physiology of fish. Euryhaline fish that can survive both in freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) are also very useful for studying fish physiology, especially osmoregulation.

Levels of Tetrodotoxins in Spawning Pufferfish, Takifugu alboplumbeus

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2023
Tetrodotoxin (TTX), also known as pufferfish toxin, is an extremely potent neurotoxin thought to be used as a biological defense compound in organisms bearing it. Although TTX was thought to function as a chemical agent for defense and anti-predation and an attractant for TTX-bearing animals including pufferfish, it has recently been demonstrated that ...
