Characterisation, expression and ontogeny of interleukin-6 and its receptors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]

, 2012
10 páginas, 8 figuras, 2 tablasInterleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of the most pleiotropic cytokines due to its importance in both innate and adaptive immune responses and other physiological processes. In this study, we identified the zebrafish (Danio rerio) IL-

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Diet and Conservation Needs of the Chinese Crested Tern and Greater Crested Terns in Zhejiang Breeding Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study employs DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet composition of the critically endangered Chinese crested tern and the greater crested tern during their breeding season in Zhejiang. The terns primarily consume epipelagic schooling fish like anchovies and mackerel, with minimal overlap with commercial fisheries (< 5% commercial fish).

Toxic Flatworm Egg Plates Serve as a Possible Source of Tetrodotoxin for Pufferfish

Toxins, 2019
The pufferfish Takifugu niphobles (at present Takifugu alboplumbeus) possesses highly concentrated tetrodotoxin (TTX), an extremely potent neurotoxin that provides effective protection from predators, at least at the larval stages. However, the source of

Physiological responses of reared sea bream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758) to an Amyloodinium ocellatum outbreak [PDF]

, 2017
Amyloodiniosis represents a major bottleneck for semi-intensive aquaculture production in Southern Europe, causing extremely high mortalities. Amyloodinium ocellatum is a parasitic dinoflagellate that can infest almost all fish, crustacean and bivalves ...

Large Extent of Convergent Evolution Towards the Double Histone Fold Revealed by Targeted Sequence and Structure Search Approach

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 875-882, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone proteins are key players in chromatin packaging. In eukaryotes, nucleosomal cores—the DNA packaging fundamental units—are formed by composition of histone dimers. The double histone fold is a protein structure where two consecutive regions, each featuring histone fold, come together to create a histone pseudodimer. Although regarded as

Genome‐wide identification and solute selectivity of aquaporins in the sharpnose sevengill shark, Heptranchias perlo

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.
Abstract The aquaporin genes (aqps) are widely distributed among vertebrates. In cartilaginous fish, aqp3 and aqp10 are duplicated, whereas many species have lost aqp8. While the solute permeability of aquaglyceroporins and Aqp8 exhibits significant diversity, systematic evaluations of their activity within species are limited.

A novel tilapia prolactin receptor is functionally distinct from its paralog [PDF]

, 2009
A novel tilapia prolactin (PRL) receptor (OmPRLR2) was identified based on its induction during hyperosmotic stress. OmPRLR2 protein shows 28% identity to tilapia OmPRLR1 and 26% identity to human PRLR.

SNP discovery from transcriptome of the swimbladder of Takifugu rubripes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the marker of choice for genome-wide association studies in many species. High-throughput sequencing of RNA was developed primarily to analyze global gene expression, while it is an efficient way to ...

Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]

, 2009
Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this

Molecular Responses to Climate Change: How Warming and Acidification Reshape the Proteome and Phosphoproteome of the Endangered Mira Chub

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global environmental change affects organisms, including their physiology. In freshwater ecosystems, where migration is limited, populations often rely on phenotypic plasticity to respond. While transcriptomics has been widely used to study stress responses at the molecular level, less is known about the proteome, which reflects post ...
