Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their associated signaling pathways play pivotal roles in the immune response to invading pathogens. Here, TLR13, TLR22, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase1 (TAK1) were characterized in the soiny mullet (Liza haematocheila), representative mugilid species that is widely cultured in Asia. The four mullet genes, which shared characteristic features with their counterparts in other teleosts, were ubiquitously expressed in all of the examined tissues, albeit with different expression patterns. Following Streptococcus dysgalactiae infection, the four genes were upregulated to different degrees in various mullet tissues. These results indicated that the four genes were involved in the mullet immune response to bacterial infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first characterization of these four genes in mullet. Our results provide a basis for future studies of TLR signaling pathways in mullet, as well as for similar studies in other mugilids.

Burbot (Lota lota), a fish species of economic and ecological significance found across northern hemisphere freshwater ecosystems, was the focus of this study. We characterized 19 Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes in burbot, tracing their expression patterns following pathogen exposure. TLR genes, crucial to the innate immune system, including TLR13-1/2/3, TLR2/2-2/2-3/2-4/2-5, and TLR22a/22b/22c/22d, were discovered to be tandemly repeated, signifying an evolution in the fish's immune system.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play key roles in activating immune responses during infection. In this study, we identified TLR genes in Manila clam at the genome-wide level and characterized it into 9 types according to the genome annotation, including TLR1 (1-10), TLR2 (1-10), TLR2-2 (1-5), TLR3 (1-3), TLR4 (1-9), TLR5, TLR6 (1-5), TLR7 (1-2), and TLR13 (1-4). The length of TLR proteins varied from 128 to 1257 amino acids.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and are an ancient and well-conserved group of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). The isolation of the Antarctic continent and its unique teleost fish and microbiota prompted the present investigation into Tlr evolution. Gene homologues of members in teleosts from temperate regions were present in the genome of Antarctic Nototheniidae and the non-Antarctic sister lineage Bovichtidae.

Soy meals can cause intestinal inflammation and even injury in animals, especially infants and juvenile individuals. This study investigated the effects of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) on the growth and intestinal homeostasis of juvenile pearl gentian grouper and examined the mechanisms by which FSBM and soybean meal (SBM) induced enteritis in fish, using "3+2" full-length transcriptome sequencing. We randomly assigned 720 female juvenile groupers into three treatment groups: FM control group, 20% FSBM group (FSBM20), and FSBM40 group ( = 4).
