Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Branchiostoma belcheri Gray (Amphioxus).
Branchiostoma belcheri Gray is a second-class, nationally protected protochordate in China. We developed 10 novel polymorphic sites in B. belcheri, which were examined using a population of 30 wild individuals from Xiamen, China. The polymorphism information content ranged between 0.141 and 0.681, and the number of alleles varied from 2 to 5. The expected and observed heterozygosities varied be...
متن کاملIdentification and functional characterization of legumain in amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri.
Legumain has been reported from diverse sources such as plants, parasites (animals) and mammals, but little is known in the lower chordates. The present study reports the first characterization of legumain cDNA from the protochordate Branchiostoma belcheri. The deduced 435-amino-acid-long protein is structurally characterized by the presence of a putative N-terminal signal peptide, a peptidase_...
متن کاملConsecutive Spawnings of Chinese Amphioxus, Branchiostoma belcheri, in Captivity
Cephalochordate amphioxus is a promising model animal for studying the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms of vertebrates because its unique phylogenetic position, simple body plan and sequenced genome. However, one major drawback for using amphioxus as a model organism is the restricted supply of living embryos since they are available only during spawning season that varies from a coupl...
متن کاملPurification and characterisation of phenoloxidase from amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense.
Phenoloxidase (PO) from the humoral fluid of amphioxus B. belcheri tsingtauense was purified using a sequential combination of ammonium sulphate precipitation, Sephadex G-200 chromatography and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow chromatography. In PAGE, the purified enzyme exhibited a single band of 150 kDa under non-reducing conditions, and was resolved to three bands with molecular masses of 72, 46 and...
متن کاملGenome-wide gene expression analysis of amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri) following lipopolysaccharide challenge using strand-specific RNA-seq
Amphioxus is the closest living proxy for exploring the evolutionary origin of the immune system in vertebrates. To understand the immune responses of amphioxus to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 5 ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-depleted libraries of amphioxus were constructed, including one control (0 h) library and 4 treatment libraries at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h post-injection (hpi) with LPS. The transcriptome ...
