Abstract Marine elasmobranch fish contain urea, a protein denaturant, in their bodies. The urea-trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) counteraction mechanism contributes to urea-resistibility, where TMAO compensates for protein denaturation by urea. However,

The nacreous layer of shells and pearls is composed of aragonite crystals arranged in an organic matrix. The organic matrix contains chitin and several proteins that regulate the formation of the nacreous layer. Owing to their strong interactions in

In our previous publication, we identified novel gene candidates involved in shell formation by EST analyses of the nacreous and prismatic layer-forming tissues in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. In the present study, 14 of those genes, including t

Troponin (Tn) is composed of three subunits (TnI, TnC and TnT) that bind Ca2+ and regulate striated muscle contraction in vertebrates. TnT’s function has been extensively described in vertebrates, but its role has been obscure in molluscan muscles.

We determined the full-length primary structure of the tropomyosin (TM)-1 and -2 proteins from the adductor muscle of the Japanese pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Pifuc-TM-1 and Pifuc-TM-2), and found that they are each composed of 284 amino acid resid

Molluscan smooth muscles, such as the bivalve adductor muscles and the mussel anterior byssus retractor muscles (ABRM), exhibit a unique contraction called “catch”. Catch contraction is regulated through twitchin phosphorylation and dephosphoryla

Calponin is a basic actin-binding protein found widely in invertebrate tissues including catch muscle and therefore may participate in catch contraction. There is limited information about molluscan calponin and molecular characterization to reveal i

Although a wide variety of proteins and genes possibly related to the shell formation in bivalve have been identified, their functions have been only partially approved. We have recently performed deep sequencing of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) fro

Troponin is a complex of three proteins (troponin I, troponin C, and troponin T) that binds Ca2+ and is a thin filament-associated regulator of vertebrate striated muscle contraction. The function of troponin I (TnI) in vertebrates has been extensive
