Characterization of the calcium binding protein family in zebrafish. [PDF]
Calcium Binding Proteins (CaBPs), part of the vast family of EF-Hand-domain containing proteins, modulate intracellular calcium levels. They thereby contribute to a broad spectrum of biological processes - amongst others cell migration, gene expression ...

The Sperm Protein Spaca6 is Essential for Fertilization in Zebrafish [PDF]
Fertilization is a key process in all sexually reproducing species, yet the molecular mechanisms that underlie this event remain unclear. To date, only a few proteins have been shown to be essential for sperm-egg binding and fusion in mice, and only some are conserved across vertebrates.

The dystrophin associated protein complex in zebrafish [PDF]
Many cases of muscular dystrophy in humans are caused by mutations in members of the dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC). Zebrafish are small vertebrates whose bodies are composed predominantly of skeletal muscle, making them attractive models for studying mammalian muscle disorders.

The ved protein patterning in zebrafish embryos [PDF]
Homeobox transcription factors play an essential role in cells differentiation. The function is realized by the proteins (not by the mRNA) and it is necessary to pay more attention to the protein patterns. In this study we were the first to obtain antibodies against the ved protein, tested their specificity by Western-blot analysis and performed a ...

Vasa protein expression and localization in the zebrafish
Primordial germ cell (PGC) development in the zebrafish is poorly understood. The expression of vasa RNA, the only molecular marker so far found to be expressed in fish PGCs, suggests its function in the establishment of the germline. The protein product of vasa is present throughout the life cycle in the germline of Drosophila, Caenorhabditis and ...

Early stages of retinal development depend on Sec13 function [PDF]
ER-to-Golgi transport of proteins destined for the extracellular space or intracellular compartments depends on the COPII vesicle coat and is constitutive in all translationally active cells.

In our previous study, several iron-related outer membrane proteins in Aeromonas hydrophila, a serious pathogen of farmed fish, conferred high immunoprotectivity to fish, and were proposed as potential vaccine candidates. However, the protective efficacy

Zebrafish as a model system to study the physiological function of telomeric protein TPP1.
Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures at the end of chromosomes. Telomere dysfunction can lead to chromosomal abnormalities, DNA damage responses, and even cancer.

Proteomics analysis of the zebrafish skeletal extracellular matrix. [PDF]
The extracellular matrix of the immature and mature skeleton is key to the development and function of the skeletal system. Notwithstanding its importance, it has been technically challenging to obtain a comprehensive picture of the changes in skeletal ...

On the tubulin polymerization promoting proteins of zebrafish [PDF]
Recently, Aoki et al. [15] have been published a paper (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 445 (2014) 357-362.) in which they identified possible downstream genes required for the extension of peripheral axons in primary sensory neurons of zebrafish. Tppp was claimed as one of them but, as I show, it is the tppp3-like gene, a paralog of tppp, which plays ...
