Hagfish C1q (HaC1q) was identified and characterized as a pattern-recognition molecule (PRM) in the hagfish complement system. The serum from hagfish, Eptatretus burgeri , was applied to a GlcNAc-agarose column and eluted sequentially with GlcNAc and

Protamines are expressed in the spermatid nucleus and allow denser packaging of DNA compared with histones. Disruption of the coding sequence of one allele of either protamine 1 (Prm1) or Prm2 results in failure to produce offspring, although sperm w

Xtr is present exclusively in early embryonic and germline cells. We have previously shown that loss-of-function of the Xtr in embryos causes arrest of karyokinesis progression. Since Xtr contains plural tudor domains, which are known to associate wi

Embryonic patterning and germ-cell specification in mice are regulative and depend on zygotic gene activities. However, there are mouse homologues of Drosophila maternal effect genes, including vasa and tudor , that function in posterior and germ-cel

In Xenopus, although primary spermatogonium (PG), the largest cell in the testis, is believed to be spermatogonial stem cell by histological observations, functional evidence has never been obtained. In the present study, we first indicated that cult

In vitro reporter gene assays using vertebrate cell lines or yeast have been used for assessment of the estrogenic chemicals. However, estrogen receptor α (ERα)- and ERβ-mediated reporter gene system in fish has yet to be developed. In the present

Hagfish, agnathan cyclostome, is the most primitive extant vertebrate and its complement (C) system seems to be a primordial system in comparison with a well-developed C system in gnathostome vertebrates. From a phylogenic perspective of defense mech

We compared the secondary spermatogonia and the primary spermatocytes of Xenopus for the proteins in their microsomal fractions and identified a newly synthesized protein (94 kDa) and three other proteins (99, 85, and 72 kDa) which increased their am

Previous studies indicated that the acquisition of egg fertilizability during transit through the pars recta portion of the oviduct in Bufo japonicus is accompanied by hydrolytic conversion of the vitelline coat 40- to 52-kDa components to 39-kDa com
