Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1), a key regulatory enzyme of fatty acid metabolism, catalyzes the conversion of long-chain fatty acids to acyl-coenzyme A. The full-length cDNAs of ACSL1a and ACSL1b were cloned from the liver of a grass carp. Both cDNAs contained a 2094bp open reading frame encoding 697 amino acids.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase α (ACC1), the major regulatory enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis, catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. The full-length cDNA coding ACC1 isoform was cloned from liver of grass carp. The cDNA obtained was 7515bp with a 7173bp open reading frame encoding 2389 amino acids.

A full-length cDNA coding lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was cloned from liver of adult Pengze crucian carp (Carassius auratus var. Pengze) by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches. The cDNA obtained was 1877 bp long with a 1524 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 507 amino acids, including a putative signal peptide of 23 amino acids long.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers amplified and sequenced the ITS1 and ITS2 ribosomal DNA regions from four Veneridae clam species, noting variations in product size and GC content.
  • The sizes for ITS1 sequences ranged from 585 bp to 900 bp, while ITS2 sequences ranged from 281 bp to 412 bp, showing significant sequence variation among species.
  • A phylogenetic analysis indicated that Protothaca jedoensis is closely related to Mercenaria mercenaria and Cyclina sinensis but more distantly related to other clams in the study.
