Abstract
Vibriosis, caused by Vibrio, seriously affects the health of fish, shellfish, and shrimps, causing large economic losses. Teleosts are represent the first bony vertebrates with both innate and adaptive immune responses against pathogens. Aquatic animals encounter hydraulic pressure and more pathogens, compared to terrestrial animals. The skin is the first line of defense in fish, constituting the skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT), which belongs to the main mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT). However, little is known about the function of immunity related proteins in fish. Therefore, this study used iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) to compare the skin proteome between the resistant and susceptible families of Cynoglossus semilaevis. The protein integrin beta-2, the alpha-enolase isoform X1, subunit B of V-type proton ATPase, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6, and ubiquitin-like protein ISG15, were highly expressed in the resistant family. The 16S sequencing of the skin tissues of the resistant and susceptible families showed significant differences in the microbial communities of the two families. The protein-microbial interaction identified ten proteins associated with skin microbes, including immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH), B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10 (BCL10) and pre-B-cell leukemia transcription factor 1 isoform X2 (PBX2). This study highlights the interaction between skin proteins and the microbial compositions of C. semilaevis and provides new insights into understanding aquaculture breeding research.

Abstract
V-ATPase is an ATP hydrolysis-driven proton pump involved in the acidification of intracellular organelles and systemic acid-base homeostasis through H+ secretion in the renal collecting ducts. V-ATPase dysfunction is associated with hereditary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). ATP6V1B1 encodes the B1 subunit of V-ATPase that is integral to ATP hydrolysis and subsequent H+ transport. Patients with pathogenic ATP6V1B1 mutations often exhibit an early onset of sensorineural hearing loss. However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. We employed morpholino oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to generate Atp6v1ba-deficient (atp6v1ba-/-) zebrafish as an ortholog model for ATP6V1B1. The atp6v1ba-/- zebrafish exhibited systemic acidosis and significantly smaller otoliths compared to wild-type siblings. Moreover, deficiency in Atp6v1ba led to degeneration of inner ear hair cells, with ultrastructural changes indicative of autophagy. Our findings indicate a critical role of ATP6V1B1 in regulating lysosomal pH and autophagy in hair cells, and the results provide insights into the pathophysiology of sensorineural hearing loss in dRTA. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that the atp6v1ba-/- zebrafish model is a valuable tool for further investigation into disease mechanisms and potential therapies for acidosis-related hearing impairment.

Abstract
Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) is one of the important economical fishes in the world. Streptococcosis is commonly found in tilapia, causing severe and devastating effects in tilapia cultures. Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus iniae are the predominant pathogens causing tilapia streptococcosis. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying differential streptococcal infection patterns, Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) were infected by 1 × 107 CFU/mL S. agalactiae, 1 × 107 CFU/mL S. iniae, and 1 × 107 CFU/mL S. agalactiae and S. iniae (1:1), respectively, and transcriptome analysis was conducted to the intestine samples of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at 6, 12, 24 h, and 7 days post-infection. A total of 6,185 genes that differentially expressed among groups were identified. Eight differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM39-like, C-X-C motif chemokine 10-like(CXCL 10), C-C motif chemokine 19-like, interleukin-1 beta-like, IgM heavy chain VH region, partial, IgG Fc-binding protein, proteasome subunit beta type-8 (PSMB8), and ATP synthase F(0) complex subunit B1, mitochondrial that involved in the immune system were selected, and their expression levels in the coinfection group were significantly higher than those in either of the single infection groups. These genes were associated with four different KEGG pathways. Additionally, the differential expression of eight DEGs was validated by using the RT-qPCR approach, and their immunological importance was discussed. The results provided insights into the responses of tilapia against S. agalactiae and S. iniae at the transcriptome level, promoting our better understanding of immune responses for aquatic animal against Streptococcus.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is a proton pump driven by ATP hydrolysis, and it plays an important role in numerous biological processes, such as protein degradation and synthesis, cell growth, and cell autophagy. The V-ATPase subunit B (VATB) is a conservative and regulatory subunit required for ATP hydrolysis during proton pumping. The VATB of Eriocheirsinensis (EsVATB), which includes an open reading frame (ORF) length of 1467 bp encoding 489 amino acids, was cloned to unveil the biological function of VATB during the molting process of crustaceans. Spatial and temporal expression profiles showed that EsVATB was highly expressed in the posterior gill accompanied with the highest osmotic pressure in the premolt (PrM) stage. Meanwhile, the highest expression level of EsVATB was identified in the hepatopancreas and heart during the postmolt stage and epidermis in the intermolt stage, indicating that EsVATB may perform diverse biological functions in different tissues during the molting process. The individual crabs in the interference group showed a high mortality rate (74%) and a low molting rate (26%) and failed to form a new epicuticle in the PrM stage. Meanwhile, a significant difference in osmotic pressure was identified between the interference and control groups. Our results indicate that EsVATB is an indispensable functional gene that may participate in osmoregulation and help with the new epicuticle formation during the molting process of E. sinensis.

Abstract
Background Dominant deafness-onychodystrophy (DDOD) syndrome is a rare disorder mainly characterized by severe deafness, onychodystrophy and brachydactyly. We previously identified c.1516C > T (p.Arg506X) in ATP6V1B2 as cause of DDOD syndrome, accounting for all cases of this genetic disorder. Clinical follow-up of DDOD syndrome patients with cochlear implantation revealed the language rehabilitation was unsatisfactory although the implanted cochlea worked well, which indicates there might be learning and memory problems in DDOD syndrome patients. However, the underlying mechanisms were unknown. Methods atp6v1b2 knockdown zebrafish and Atp6v1b2 c.1516C > T knockin mice were constructed to explore the phenotypes and related mechanism. In mutant mice, auditory brainstem response test and cochlear morphology analysis were performed to evaluate the auditory function. Behavioral tests were used to investigate various behavioral and cognitive domains. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate functional connectivity in the mouse brain. Immunofluorescence, Western blot, and co-immunoprecipitation were performed to examine the expression and interactions between the subunits of V-ATPases. Findings atp6v1b2 knockdown zebrafish showed developmental defects in multiple organs and systems. However, Atp6v1b2 c.1516C > T knockin mice displayed obvious cognitive defects but normal hearing and cochlear morphology. Impaired hippocampal CA1 region and weaker interaction between the V1E and B2 subunits in Atp6v1b2Arg506X//Arg506X mice were observed. Interpretation Our study extends the phenotypic range of DDOD syndrome. The impaired hippocampal CA1 region may be the pathological basis of the behavioral defects in mutant mice. The molecular mechanism underlying V-ATPases dysfunction involves a weak interaction between subunits, although the assembly of V-ATPases can still take place.

Abstract
The full-length complementary (c)DNA of vacuolar-type-H(+) -ATPase B1 gene (vhab1) in marbled eel Anguilla marmorata with 1741 base pairs (bp) was identified. It contained a 1512 bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide with 503 amino acids (55·9 kDa), an 83 bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and a 146 bp 3'-UTR. The expression levels of A. marmorata vhab1 in gill and kidney of A. marmorata were evaluated at different intervals during the exposure to various salinities (0, 10 and 25). The results indicated that the expression levels of A. marmorata vhab1 messenger (m)RNA in gill and kidney had a significant increase and reached the highest level at 1 h in brackish water (BW, salinity 10) group and 6 h in seawater (SW, salinity 25) group. Therefore, salinity did affect the relative expression level of A. marmorata vhab1 mRNA in gills, which exhibited the enhancement by c. 44 times in SW group when compared with that in fresh water. No remarkable difference in the expression of A. marmorata vhab1 mRNA was observed after 15 days of SW exposure (P > 0·05). V-H(+) -ATPase activity exhibited an increase by two- to three-fold when compared with that in gill and kidney from the control group. The consequence primarily suggested that A. marmorata vhab1 gene product in elvers from A. marmorata plays an important role in adaptation response to SW.

Abstract
In order to interpret the formation of receptive field surrounds in retinal neurons, a proton-mediated mechanism was proposed to mediate feedback from horizontal cells (HCs) to cone photoreceptors. To verify the idea that depolarized HCs release protons, we measured, by a fluorescence ratiometric technique, the pH of the immediate external surface (pHs) of HCs isolated from the carp or goldfish retina. When HCs stained by 5-hexadecanoylaminofluorescein, a pH-sensitive lipophilicdye, were depolarized by bath-application of kainate or high-K+ medium, pHs was lowered. The amount of pHs change was monotonically dependent on the degree of depolarization, as much as 0.21 +/- 0.05 pH units by 100 mV depolarization (induced by 100 mm K+). Acidification was suppressed by 400 nm bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of the vacuolar type H+ pump (V-ATPase), suggesting that depolarization released protons from HCs via the voltage-sensitive H+ pump. Immunocytochemical analysis, using an anti-V-ATPase antibody, revealed the existence of V-ATPase in dissociated HCs. These results support the hypothesis that the feedback from HCs to cones could be proton mediated.

Abstract
Although the zebrafish has been used increasingly for the study of pronephric kidney development, studies of renal ion transporters and channels of the zebrafish remain few. We report the cDNA cloning and characterization of the AE2 anion exchanger ortholog from zebrafish kidney, slc4a2/ae2. The ae2 gene in linkage group 2 encodes a polypeptide of 1,228 aa exhibiting 64% aa identity with mouse AE2a. The exon-intron boundaries of the zebrafish ae2 gene are nearly identical to those of the rodent and human genes. Whole-mount in situ hybridization detects ae2 mRNA in prospective midbrain as early as the five-somite stage, then later in the pronephric primordia and the forming pronephric duct, where it persists through 72 h postfertilization (hpf). Zebrafish Ae2 expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes mediates Na(+)-independent, electroneutral (36)Cl(-)/Cl(-) exchange moderately sensitive to inhibition by DIDS, is inhibited by acidic intracellular pH and by acidic extracellular pH, but activated by (acidifying) ammonium and by hypertonicity. Zebrafish Ae2 also mediates Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange in X. laevis oocytes and accumulates in or near the plasma membrane in transfected HEK-293 cells. In 24-48 hpf zebrafish embryos, the predominant but not exclusive localization of Ae2 polypeptide is the apical membrane of pronephric duct epithelial cells. Thus Ae2 resembles its mammalian orthologs in function, mechanism, and acute regulation but differs in its preferentially apical expression in kidney. These results will inform tests of the role of Ae2 in zebrafish kidney development and function.
