Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Transcriptional Profile of the HECT E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Gene Family in the Hard-Shelled Mussel Gould.

The homologous E6-AP carboxy-terminal structural domain (HECT) contained in E3 ubiquitin ligases (E3s) is a key factor in protein degradation and maintenance of cellular homeostasis in animals. However, the functional roles and evolutionary aspects of the HECT gene family in bivalve mussels remain unclear and warrant further investigation. In this study, we identified 22 HECT genes within the genome of Gould, all containing a conserved HECT structural domain derived from dispersed repeats, distributed unevenly across 11 chromosomes.
