Embryos of the crustacean, Artemia franciscana, may undergo oviparous development, forming encysted embryos (cysts) that are released from females and enter diapause, a state suppressed metabolism greatly enhanced stress tolerance. Diapause-destined A. franciscana synthesize three small heat shock proteins (sHsps), p26, ArHsp21 ArHsp22, as well artemin, ferritin homologue, all lacking in develop directly into nauplii. Of these diapause-specific molecular chaperones, p26 artemin important...
Pleurotus ostreatus polysaccharides (POPS) can modulate the growth, immune response, and anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties of mammals aquatic animals. However, there has been no report about effect POPS on innate immunity, growth gut microbiota A. japonicus to date. Here, we explored relationship between dietary administration immunity or japonicus. The results showed that after POPS, although was significant visceral wall ratio, weight gain specific rate japonicus, activity...
Tissue regenerative capacity following evisceration, potentially influenced by environmental contaminants and intestinal microflora, is essential for the financial success of
The crustacean, Artemia franciscana, displays a complex life history in which embryos either arrest development and undertake diapause as cysts or they develop into swimming nauplii. Diapause entry is preceded during embryogenesis by the synthesis of specific molecular chaperones, namely small heat shock proteins p26, ArHsp21, ArHsp22, ferritin homolog, artemin. Maximal diapause-specific chaperones dependent on transcription factor, factor 1 (Hsf1), found similar amounts nauplii newly...
Females of the extremophile crustacean, Artemia franciscana, either release motile nauplii via ovoviviparous pathway or encysted embryos (cysts) oviparous pathway. Cysts contain an abundant amount ATP-independent small heat shock protein that contributes to stress tolerance and embryo development, however, little is known role ATP-dependent molecular chaperone, Hsp90 in two processes. In this study, a hsp90 was cloned from A. franciscana. Characteristic domains ArHsp90 were simulated deduced...
To explore the function and evolutionary relationships of inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in Daphnia magna, cDNAs four Hsp70 family members (DmaHsp70, DmaHsp70-2, DmaHsp70-12, DmaHsp70-14) were cloned. While all DmaHsp70s possess three domains, it is noteworthy that only DmaHsp70 ends with a "EEVD" motif. Phylogenetic analysis indicates Hsp70-12 lineage distanced from rest, therefore an uncharacterized Hsp70. The differences isoelectric point 3-dimensional (3D) conformation...
