Genome-wide identification of gene families related to miRNA biogenesis in L. and their possible role during heat stress.

Mango is a popular tropical fruit that requires quarantine hot water treatment (QHWT) for postharvest sanitation, which can cause abiotic stress. Plants have various defense mechanisms to cope with stress; miRNAs mainly regulate the expression of these defense responses. Proteins involved in the biogenesis of miRNAs include DICER-like (DCL), ARGONAUTE (AGO), HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 (HYL1), SERRATE (SE), HUA ENHANCER1 (HEN1), HASTY (HST), and HEAT-SHOCK PROTEIN 90 (HSP90), among others.

The anaplerotic pyruvate carboxylase from white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei: Gene structure, molecular characterization, protein modelling and expression during hypoxia.

Hypoxic zones are spreading worldwide in marine environments affecting many organisms. Shrimp and other marine crustaceans can withstand environmental hypoxia using several strategies, including the regulation of energy producing metabolic pathways. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the first reaction of gluconeogenesis to produce oxaloacetate from pyruvate.

p53 knock-down and hypoxia affects glutathione peroxidase 4 antioxidant response in hepatopancreas of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei.

Hypoxia (<2 mg O/L) is one of the main environmental stressors that affects aquatic organisms, including the white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). During hypoxia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation induces oxidative stress and damage to biomolecules. Redox state and ROS overproduction are modulated by the antioxidant system that is composed of several antioxidant enzymes, proteins, and other small compounds.

Molecular characterization and expression analysis of the chicken-type and goose-type lysozymes from totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi).

Lysozymes play a key role in innate immune response to bacterial pathogens, catalyzing the hydrolysis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls. In this study, the genes encoding the c-type (TmLyzc) and g-type (TmLyzg) lysozymes from Totoaba macdonaldi were cloned and characterized. The cDNA sequences of TmLyzg and TmLyzc were 582 and 432 bp, encoding polypeptides of 193 and 143 amino acids, respectively.
