Identification of putative allergens from school shark, a cartilaginous food fish
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Fish is counted among the major allergenic foods causing mild to severe IgE-mediated reactions. Parvalbumin (PV), a highly stable muscle protein, has been described as the fish panallergen in different fishes. School shark (Galeorhinus galeus), a cartilaginous fish called ‘petite roussette’, is a popular food fish in the French cuisine. In this study, we aimed at identifying putative allergens from school shark.

Survey Sequencing and Comparative Analysis of the Elephant Shark (Callorhinchus milii) Genome
Owing to their phylogenetic position, cartilaginous fishes (sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras) provide a critical reference for our understanding of vertebrate genome evolution. The relatively small genome of the elephant shark, Callorhinchus milii, a chimaera, makes it an attractive model cartilaginous fish genome for whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis. Here, the authors descri...
متن کاملProposal to generate a draft assembly of the compact elephant shark genome
2 Introduction Cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) are the most basal extant jawed vertebrates that diverged from the common ancestor of tetrapods and teleost fishes (Osteichthyes) approximately 530 Myr ago (Kumar and Hedges, 1998; Fig.1). Cartilaginous fishes possess a body plan and complex physiological systems that are typical of all jawed vertebrates, but are lacking in the jawless verteb...
متن کاملHypothesis and Theory: Revisiting Views on the Co-evolution of the Melanocortin Receptors and the Accessory Proteins, MRAP1 and MRAP2
The evolution of the melanocortin receptors (MCRs) is closely associated with the evolution of the melanocortin-2 receptor accessory proteins (MRAPs). Recent annotation of the elephant shark genome project revealed the sequence of a putative MRAP1 ortholog. The presence of this sequence in the genome of a cartilaginous fish raises the possibility that the mrap1 and mrap2 genes in the genomes of...
متن کاملRNA expression in a cartilaginous fish cell line reveals ancient 3' noncoding regions highly conserved in vertebrates.
We have established a cartilaginous fish cell line [Squalus acanthias embryo cell line (SAE)], a mesenchymal stem cell line derived from the embryo of an elasmobranch, the spiny dogfish shark S. acanthias. Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) first appeared >400 million years ago, and existing species provide useful models for comparative vertebrate cell biology, physiology, and genomics. Comparativ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the TNF superfamily members CD40L and BAFF in the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula).
The tumour necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) members CD40L and BAFF play critical roles in mammalian B cell survival, proliferation and maturation, however little is known about these key cytokines in the oldest jawed vertebrates, the cartilaginous fishes. Here we report the cloning of CD40L and BAFF orthologues (designated ScCD40L and ScBAFF) in the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canic...
