Molecular characterization of a crustin-like, putative antimicrobial peptide, Fi-crustin, from the Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus.
Antimicrobial peptides are important innate immune defense, especially in those animals which lack adaptive immunity [1e8]. Due to their small size, amphipathic structure and cationic character they can rapidly diffuse to the point of infection [9], a mechanism that presumably makes it easier to circumvent microbial resistance against the peptides [10]. Besides providing an immediate and broad-...
متن کاملPenBase, the shrimp antimicrobial peptide penaeidin database: sequence-based classification and recommended nomenclature.
Antimicrobial peptides play a major role in innate immunity. The penaeidins, initially characterized from the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, are a family of antimicrobial peptides that appear to be expressed in all penaeid shrimps. As of recent, a large number of penaeid nucleotide sequences have been identified from a variety of penaeid shrimp species and these sequences currently reside in seve...
متن کاملShrimp Immune System – Special Focus on Penaeidin
In this review paper, we summarize the immune system of penaeid shrimp. This review includes the clotting system comprising clot protein and clotting enzyme (transglutaminase II), as well as the prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation system including proPO-activating enzyme (PPAE), proPO and clip domain serine protease homolog (c-SPH). In addition, several shrimp cytokines or cytokine-like molecul...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the G6 and G10 Genotypes of Bovine Rotaviruses from Iran
Background and Aims: Rotaviruses are the main cause of gastroenteritis in the young of human and a variety of animals in the world. Rotavirus G6 and G10 are the most prevalent genotypes in cattle worldwide, but are also found in human with possible origination from animals. Materials and Methods: In this work, we have detected the G6 and G10 genotypes of bovine rotaviruses isolated from di...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, sequence analysis and tissue expression of penaeidin from white spot syndrome virus infected Penaeus monodon shrimps of Indian coastal region
Immune related genes like penaeidins have been characterized and the sequence diversity among penaeidins from various shrimp isolates are well documented. However, no attempt has been made to study the differential expression and sequence variations of these genes in Indian context. Genes coding for penaeidin was PCR amplified and sequenced from hemocyte cDNA of wild caught Penaeus monodon shri...
