Identification and expression analysis of odorant binding proteins and chemosensory proteins from dissected antennae and mouthparts of the rice bug Leptocorisa acuta
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2019Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Meng-Qiu Qu, Yang Cui, Yan Zou, Zhong-Zhen Wu, Jin-Tian LinAbstractThe rice bug, Leptocorisa acuta (Tunberg) (Hemiptera: Alydidae), is a notorious pest in Asia, and it is significantly attracted by the volatiles derived from host plants. However, it remains unknown how L. acuta recognizes host volatile compounds at the molecular level. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are thought to be responsible for the initial biochemical recognition during olfactory ...

Toxicity of the aquatic herbicide, reward®, on the fathead minnow with pulsed-exposure proteomic profile
The objectives of this study were to assess the lethal and sub-lethal effects of the aquatic herbicide commercial formulation, Reward® (373 g/L DB), using application scenarios prescribed by the manufacturer. Specifically, a 14 d period between applications of Reward® in a water body undergoing treatment is required, yet the effects of these ‘pulse’ exposure scenarios on aquatic wildlife such as fish are unknown. In the first experiment early life stage FHM were exposed to a continuous DB concentrations from 0.105–12.6 mg/L which yielded a larval 7 d LC50 of 2.04 mg/L as well as a significant decrease in body...

Quantitative proteomics analysis of membrane glucocorticoid receptor activation in rainbow trout skeletal muscle
Publication date: Available online 19 October 2019Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Jorge E. Aedo, Marcia Fuentes-Valenzuela, Alfredo Molina, Juan A. ValdésAbstractCortisol modulates energy metabolism promoting the mobilization of glucose and increasing proteolysis to overcome stressful situations in teleost. The cortisol metabolic effects are attributed to genomic mechanisms that involve the interaction of cortisol with its glucocorticoid intracellular receptor. Furthermore, cortisol can also interact with plasma membrane glucocorticoid receptors activating a rapid ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of Triplophysa yarkandensis in response to salinity and alkalinity stress
Publication date: Available online 19 October 2019Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Sheng-Ao Chen, Jilun Hou, Na Yao, Congxin Xie, Dapeng LiAbstractTriplophysa yarkandensis, a fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, is distributed in the Tarim River, China, immediately north of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Due to increasing salinity and alkalinity in the Tarim River, the habitats of T. yarkandensis have been seriously altered. To identify the genes and pathways that are important for responding to salinity and alkalinity stress, the gill transcriptomes of fish livin...

Identification, genomic organization and expression pattern of glutathione transferase in Pardosa pseudoannulata
In this study, based on the transcriptome and genome sequencing of P. pseudoannulata, thirteen full-length transcripts encoding GSTs were identified and analyzed. Interestingly, Delta family, which is thought to be specific to the Insecta, was identified in P. pseudoannulata. Further, vertebrate/mammalian-specific Mu family was also identified in P. pseudoannulata. The mRNA expression levels of cytosolic GSTs in different tissues were determined, and most GST genes were abundant in the gut and the fat body. To investigate GST candidates involving in insecticide detoxification, the mRNA levels of cytosolic GSTs were tested ...

Transcriptome analyses reveal alterations in muscle metabolism, immune responses and reproductive behavior of Japanese mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) at different cold temperature
Publication date: Available online 5 August 2019Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Fangrui Lou, Tianxiang Gao, Zhiqiang HanAbstractLow temperature reduction is thought to cause widespread effects on the physical and behavioral traits of marine organisms, which include metabolic processes, immune responses, and reproductive behavior. Crustaceans are generally considered sensitive to temperature reduction due to the lack of efficient regulators. To better understand the molecular regulatory mechanisms of crustacean exposure to cold stress, Japanese mantis shrimp (Oratosq...

Metabolomic changes and polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis during gonadal growth and development in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius
In this study, we have histologically observed gonad growth stages, analyzed the fatty acid composition, and employed an untargeted metabolomic approach to investigate the metabolites associated with the gonadal growth and development of S. intermedius, as well as the biosynthesis and metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at different stages and in different sexes. The gonad mass of sea urchin increased from 0.70 ± 0.18 g in January (at the recovering stage) to 8.78 ± 2.89 g in July (the reproductive stage), with the GSI increasing from 4.02 ± 0.88% to 16.86 ± 2.79%. We have analyzed 34 ...
