Juvenile hormone III (JH III) plays primary roles in regulation of metamorphosis, reproduction and diapause in Leptinotarsa decemlineata, a notorious defoliator of potato. The neurosecretory cell-borne substance(s) negatively affects the final two steps in JH biosynthesis, catalyzed respectively by an epoxidase CYP15A1 and a juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase (JHAMT). In a few insect species...
Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily (TGF-β) and is an important negative regulator of muscle growth in vertebrates. In this study, we cloned and analyzed the MSTN gene (Sc-MSTN) from razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta). The full length of Sc-MSTN cDNA sequence consists of 4226 base pairs (bp), comprising a 522-bp 5′ untranslated region (UTR), a 2342-bp 3′UTR,...
Portunus trituberculatus is an important farmed crustacean in China. Growth traits are important economic traits that are controlled by many genes. The aim of this study was to screen growth-related genes using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology, and to identify growth-related SNPs in P. trituberculatus by association analysis. A total of 36,599,712 and 29,247,160 qualified Illumina read pairs...
Long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligases (ACSLs) play crucial roles in fatty acid (FA) metabolism. They convert free long-chain FA into acyl-CoAs, which are key intermediates in both anabolic and catabolic pathways. A long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase gene was cloned in the clam Meretrix meretrix (MmeACSL1), with a full-length cDNA of 1865bp encoding 475 amino acids. Its expression was only detected in hepatopancreas...
