Calreticulin functions in antimicrobial immunity of obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus

Molecular Immunology, 2021
Calreticulin (Crt) is a highly conserved and multi-functional protein with lectin-like properties and important immunological activities. In this study, a Crt homolog, namely, ToCrt, was cloned and characterized from the obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus with an open reading frame of 1278 bp encoding a putative protein of 425 amino acids.

Neural basis of the stress response in a pufferfish, Takifugu obscurus

Integrative Zoology, 2015
AbstractWhen faced with danger, pufferfish react with both a fast‐start escape response and inflation behavior. The neural basis of these stress responses in the pufferfish has not been described. The present study reveals that during inflation behavior, the buccal cavity expands and compresses as a pump to control the direction of water flow and draws

A new calnexin modulates antibacterial immune response in obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2022
Calnexin (Cnx) is a membrane-bound lectin chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, a novel Cnx homologue from the obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus was characterized, tentatively named ToCnx. The cDNA of ToCnx was 1803 bp, and it contained an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 600 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular ...

Transcriptome Analysis of the Kidney of Obscure Puffer, Takifugu obscurus, Challenged with Poly(I:C)

Zoological Science, 2022
Obscure puffer, Takifugu obscurus, is an important aquaculture species in China, but the disease problem of this species seriously affects its production and causes huge economic losses. In order to reveal the molecular mechanism of disease resistance, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] was used to stimulate obscure puffer. At 0, 12, and 48 h (

Salinity tolerance of embryos of obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus

Aquaculture, 2006
Abstract Salinity tolerance of embryos of obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus was investigated at salinities of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32 parts per thousand (ppt), respectively. Survival rates of embryos at 0, 4 and 8 ppt salinities were higher than 90% throughout the experiment, and there were no significant differences between 0 and 8 ppt (

Comparison of physicochemical and umami characterization of aqueous and ethanolic Takifugu obscurus muscle extracts

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2021
Most umami substances were developed in aqueous extracts. In this study, we compared the molecular weight distributions and sensory characteristics of ethanol and aqueous Takifugu obscurus muscle extracts, and assessed their taste-related metabolites and peptide profile (

Immune and physiological responses of pufferfish ( Takifugu obscurus ) under cold stress

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2017
Low temperature is an important environmental factor in aquaculture farming that affects the survival and growth of organisms. In the present study, we investigated the effects of low temperature on biochemical parameters, oxidative stress and apoptosis in pufferfish.
