چکیده
Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) family, an ancestral group of enzymes responsible for aldehyde detoxification in several organisms. The BADH enzyme catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine (GB) an important osmoptrotector and osmoregulator accumulated in response to cellular osmotic stress. The BADH enzymes have been extensively described in terrestrial organisms, but information in marine crustaceans remains scarce. Research on crustacean stress-adaptive capacity to environmental stressors relates GB accumulation in response to salinity variations. Although GB de novo synthesis is confirmed on crustaceans, its metabolic pathways and regulation mechanism are unexplored. In this work, the state of the knowledge of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes in marine crustaceans is summarized, as a mechanism to overcome the deleterious effects of changes in temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration in seawater. The purpose of this review is to provide a more comprehensive overview to set the basis for exploring novel functions and properties of BADHs on the response of crustaceans to environmental stress.

Inhibition of protein kinase C by isojacareubin suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis and induces apoptosis in vitro and in vivo
Targeted inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proliferation and metastasis. We previously reported the cytotoxicity of a series of synthetic phenyl-substituted polyoxygenated xanthone derivatives against human HCC. In the current study, the most potent natural product, isojacareubin (ISJ), was synthesized, and its cellular-level antihepatoma activities we...
متن کاملFingerprinting of some Egyptian rice genotypes using Intron-exon Splice Junctions (ISJ) markers
DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...
متن کاملThe concept of 'IT artifact' has outlived its usefulness and should be retired now
Vastly inconsistent definitions of the term “the IT artifact” in leading journals and conferences demonstrate why it no longer means anything in particular and should be retired from the active IS lexicon. Examples from the literature show why artifact-cousins, such as the IS artifact, sociotechnical artifact, social artifact, and ensemble artifact should be used with great care, if not retired...
متن کاملبررسی تنوع ژنتیکی کلزا (Brassica napus L.) با استفاده از نشانگر‌های مولکولی SSR و ISJ
به‌منظور بررسی تنوع ژنتیکی 21 رقم کلزا از 20 جفت آغازگر اختصاصی SSR و نیمه‌تصادفی ISJ استفاده شد. آغازگرها در مجموع 158 (05/81 درصد) باند چندشکل (51 باند SSR و 107 باند ISJ) تولید کردند. متوسط تعداد باند چندشکل برای آغازگرهای ISJ، SSR و ترکیب آنها به‌ترتیب 7/10، 1/5 و 9/7 عدد برآورد شد. میزان اطلاعات چندشکلی (PIC) از 015/0 در آغازگر اختصاصی O110D08 تا 3420/0 در آغازگر نیمه‌اختصاصی ET15-33 متغی...
