Molecular Characterisation of Colour Formation in the Prawn Fenneropenaeus merguiensis
INTRODUCTION Body colouration in animals can have a range of functions, with predator protection an important aspect of colour in crustaceans. Colour determination is associated with the carotenoid astaxanthin, which is taken up through the diet and stabilised in the tissues by the protein crustacyanin. As a variety of genes are found to play a role in colour formation in other systems, a holis...

متن کاملFunctional and evolutionary implications from the molecular characterization of five spermatophore CHH/MIH/GIH genes in the shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis
The recent use of RNA-Seq to study the transcriptomes of different species has helped identify a large number of new genes from different non-model organisms. In this study, five distinctive transcripts encoding for neuropeptide members of the CHH/MIH/GIH family have been identified from the spermatophore transcriptome of the shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis. The size of these transcripts rang...
متن کاملBacterial Agglutination by Sialic Acid-Specific Lectin in the Hemolymph of the Banana Shrimp, Penaeus (Fenneropenaeus) merguiensis
A lectin from the hemolymph of the banana shrimp Penaeus (Fenneropenaeus) merguiensis expressed higher agglutination activity against rabbit erythrocytes than those from human, and its activity was Cadependent. The hemagglutinating activity of the hemolymph lectin was stable up to 55 C and optimal at pH 7.5-8.0. N-acetylated sugars, ManNAc, GlcNAc, GalNAc, and NeuNAc, were effective inhibitors ...
متن کاملOvarian Transcriptome Analysis of Vitellogenic and Non-Vitellogenic Female Banana Shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis)
The banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) is one of the most commercially important penaeid species in the world. Its numbers are declining in the wild, leading to a loss of broodstock for farmers of the shrimp and a need for more successful breeding programs. However, the molecular mechanism of the genes involved in this shrimp's ovarian maturation is still unclear. Consequently, we compa...
